dogs

For many of us, our pets aren’t “just” animals: they’re part of the family. And when the most important day arrives, the one where you promise love for life, leaving them at home seems out of the question.

The pet-friendly wedding is a growing trend, but more than a fashion, it’s an authentic way to experience the day together with those who have always been by our side. And yes, it can be done with style, without stress, and in total harmony.

1. Does it Make Sense to Bring Them to the Wedding?

If you’re asking yourself this question, the answer is simple: it depends. On you, on your pet, on the type of celebration you have in mind.

A dog used to being around people, traveling, and following your rhythms? Yes, it’s absolutely doable. A nervous cat or a very elderly animal? Maybe better to consider alternatives.

The important thing is not to force anything and always think about the animal’s wellbeing before the wow factor.

2. Things to Know before Involving your Pet

If you decide to bring them with you, here’s what to consider:

• Verify that the venue is pet-friendly. At Al Burnec, for example, our spaces are open to four-legged friends, with large green areas and the possibility to create dedicated zones for them.

• Appoint a dedicated pet-sitter. Someone who will take care of your pet throughout the day, so you can relax.

• Prepare a personal kit: bowl, water, snacks, bags, blanket. Everything necessary to make them feel at home.

• Plan their appearances: maybe they accompany you to the “altar, but then relax in the” shade while people are eating. Better less but better.

3. Sweet Ideas to Integrate Them into the Wedding

• Coordinated accessory: bow tie, flower collar, a mini flower crown… without overdoing it, and always respecting their comfort.

• Surprise entrance: they can carry the rings or simply lead the wedding procession.

• Iconic photos: a moment just for the three (or more) of you, to immortalize your bond.

• Guest star in the seating chart: each table can be named after an animal you love, with yours at the top.

• Charitable wedding favors: supporting shelters or associations that help other animals.

4. What if They Can’t be there? Make Them Feel Present Anyway

• Their photo in the photobooth or among the decorations

• A stylized drawing on invitations, menus, or place cards

• A cake with personalized cake topper

Remember: it doesn’t matter if they’re physically there, what matters is the thought and the place they occupy in your heart.

5. Pet Planners: They Really Exist!

If you want to do things properly and don’t have time to handle it yourself, today there are actual wedding dog sitters or pet planners, professionals who organize everything for your pet’s presence. And at Al Burnec, we can connect you with the best professionals in the field.

A Celebration for the Whole Family (Tail Included)

A pet-friendly wedding is more than an aesthetic choice. It’s a gesture of love, consistency, and connection with your real life.

And if you’re looking for a venue where no one feels excluded (not even those who bark), Al Burnec is the right place: nature, freedom, and spaces where love takes many forms, including four-legged ones.
