A Guide to Pet-Friendly Venues and Considerations
As a passionate wedding photographer in Somerset, I understand that your wedding day is a celebration of love—not just between the two of you but also with the loved ones who have been by your side, including your furry friends. Fortunately, many pet-friendly wedding venues in Somerset welcome dogs with open arms. However, not all venues allow pets, often for reasons beyond their control. Let’s explore how you can include your dog in your wedding and highlight some fantastic pet-friendly venues in Somerset.
The reason some venues dont allow dogs
It’s essential to understand that most venue owners love animals, but some venues cannot accommodate pets for specific reasons. Here are a few common considerations:
- Surrounding Environment: Venues located near livestock or in conservation areas may not allow pets to avoid potential disturbances or threats.
- Historic Properties: Older buildings with delicate interiors may not be suitable for pets, as they could cause accidental messes or damage.
- Guest Allergies or Phobias: Venues must cater to all guests, including those with allergies or fears of animals.
Knowing these factors will help you approach your venue search with understanding and focus.
