Dog-Friendly Weddings at Ancora Weddings, Tweed Heads
Yes, your dog can absolutely be part of your wedding day at Ancora Weddings. Our waterfront venue on the Tweed Coast welcomes well-behaved dogs for ceremonies and photos, because let’s be honest, some of the best wedding moments involve a very excited dog trying to steal the spotlight.
How dogs can be part of your wedding day
Dogs at Ancora have had quite the portfolio of roles: walking down the aisle, delivering rings, posing for portraits and generally causing everyone to melt. Whether yours is a seasoned social butterfly or a little nervous around crowds, there are plenty of ways to include them without it turning into chaos.
Popular ways couples involve their dogs at Ancora:
- Walking down the aisle with the wedding party
- Ring bearer (the internet-approved most important job)
- Post-ceremony photos on the waterfront deck
- Greeting guests during the arrival and cocktail hour
What to know before bringing your dog
A couple of things worth knowing before the big day:
- Dogs are welcome for the ceremony and photo portion of the day
- All dogs must be on a lead while on the venue grounds
- We recommend arranging a dedicated dog handler, either a trusted family member or a professional. Our friends at Pet Wedding Assistants are fantastic if you need a professional on the day.
