Pets at weddings are so much fun! As a result, more people are looking for pet-friendly venues where they and other guests can bring their furry friends along for the party.
Finding a venue that allows pets is challenging. You certainly shrink your pool of potential wedding venues when you need a place where dogs can run around. Still, a little extra effort in your wedding planning will mean your pet can be there for your big day.
Most pet-friendly wedding venues are outdoor venues, but you can also find beautiful wedding locations that allow animals indoors. However, they mainly cater to dogs, so you’ll want to run any other animals by them before you book.
Here are ten of the best pet friendly wedding venues in Los Angeles.

Garden Villa is located on Clayton Avenue, and it’s a romantic venue that makes you feel like you’re getting married in an Italian villa. This venue books a lot of weddings, so they make packages all-inclusive.

It’s got plenty of lovely, terraced gardens and extensive grounds that you and your guests, along with pets, can wander through on your wedding day. But, of course, the venue is delighted to have dogs along as long as they stay on the leash and always have someone minding them.
Finding pet friendly wedding venues in Los Angeles isn’t easy, but it’s worth it if you can find a beautiful location where your pets can come celebrate with you.
