Tips for Booking your Tahoe Dog Friendly Wedding Venue
So let’s say one of the above Tahoe area venues has caught your eye for your wedding day! With any venue (dog friendly or not) it is essential to do your research and prepare to make sure your big day goes as planned.
Here are some Rocky Mountain Bride tips for booking your dog friendly venue:
Check the pet fee: With many dog friendly venues/hotels, there is a pet fee. Make sure to check your venues website for the associated pet fee and other documentation you may need to provide to have your pup at your wedding.
Make sure your pup is up for it: It’s no secret, not all dogs have the personality to be able to attend a wedding. If your dog has behavioral issues, anxiety in crowds, or any health issues that could impact your big day, make sure to think carefully about whether your dog should attend.
Keep your pup happy: Dogs require a ton of attention, especially when around big crowds. Make sure you pack your pups food and water and assign a designated “pup wrangler” to keep an eye on your dog throughout the night. Oh, and of course bring plenty of treats!
