We chose our venue because they allow dogs, and our little dog is centre of...

Must be neutral colours! If the venue wasnt a blank canvas i couldn't do it!!

Yes i hate fussy carpets made it really difficult to choose somewhere we ended up booking somewhere that wasnt even built yet we get to view it on april 5th its a barn conversion and the pictures are amazing

That is so lovely having your dog their to share your special day xx

The first venue I looked at was stunning until I saw the carpet and curtains were a burnt orange colour. The room was actually set up for a wedding and the table looked lovely but unfortunately didn't distract from the orange I looked at my second venue which wasn't as stunning on the outside but still very lovely with a golf course and a lovely stream and bridge for photos. The room was lovely. Chandeliers with neutral colour carpet and curtains and a new balcony outside too. £2000 cheaper than the first one too so went with that

We had to have some where we could make a quiet corner for our autistic children to escape to if it gets too much...we've planned that little corner more than anything else I think!

We had a few musts which ruled out a lot of venues. I understand your dog choice, I'd have done the same if I had one.

My partner just wanted outside seating and a BBQ

I went to 45 venues... there were a lot of things we just couldn't cope with (so glad its not just me with the carpet thing!!!!) ultimately meant we didnt manage to find a venue in Wales (boo)... but we're in love with our venue and its perfect for us even though wrong side of the bridge. Cant wait!

Hi we did a similar thing - I found out today you also need the registrars permission to have your dog there - im waiting to here back from ours but some regions say no so I would double check x

I don't like chair covers personally so I have to like the chairs of any venues we go to see

I work opposite the registry office and we're forever going to the window to watch the weddings, for that reason I specifically wanted somewhere cut off from civilisation haha so we picked somewhere right in the Cotswold's which literally has no one around, way off the beaten track so we're far away from people who aren't in our wedding party staring at us through the window ;) haha

My dogs are my world too and equally don't go out as much as I used to just so I can spend time with them !! And we based our venue on our dogs .. we chose a small holding farm in the middle of countryside so our babies could be part of our day !! They are our kids so why wouldn't we want our kids at our wedding !! Only dog owners will know ! :P xxx

My fiancé works in events so we wanted somewhere he hadn't worked or where he isn't a recommended supplier. Didn't leave many venues

There are 3 rooms at our registry office plain wood walls in one. Yellow and blue theme in another and pinky plum in the one we chose with big seats for us to sit in 8 wks 2moro I'm so excited I could burst xxx

I understand! Not for the dog (she is our baby too but she would hate such a busy full day!) but for family. My dad has lots of health problems and my brother can get quite overwhelmed so we chose somewhere with a quiet place tucked away where they can retreat for a bit (p.s. Said retreat is a turret so BONUS!)

Mine has to allow children's entertainment (bouncy castle/soft play) if the kids are happy everyone is happy lol

We went for the place who would serve the beer we wanted. X

Gemma Stainer is this you to? xxxx

We have put little man as a ring bearer our wedding venue has made an exception for our dog .
