Dog-Friendly Wedding at Mount Tom House in Eugene, Oregon

Kaitlyn & Kirk’s wedding at Mount Tom House was one I’ll never forget! They invited all their favorite people, including their two beloved pups. This venue just outside Eugene, Oregon was perfect for their wedding weekend: they could stay onsite for two nights with their dogs enjoying the quiet forest and large property. Plenty of guest rooms and glamping tents allowed their wedding party to stay too, enjoying the beautiful view from the hillside.

Not every pet wants to be a part of your wedding day… but Kaitlyn & Kirk’s pups were delighted to be included in the festivities. They loved joining their paw-rents for “First Look” photos, and seemed honored to walk down the aisle during the ceremony as part of the processional. (It helped that Kirk was waiting for them at the altar.)

To keep your pets and guests safe and happy, I will always recommend having a designated dog-sitter present for your event. The company Wags and Garland is a great option if you’d like to hire a professional!

We kept the furry duo indoors during dinnertime to avoid begging, but they were allowed to roam afterwards and visit guests at their tables. The dog lovers in attendance were overjoyed to get a visit from these two lovable pups! We did put them back inside during dancing, at which point they immediately fell asleep. It turns out, being petted by dozens of wedding guests is exhausting.

This event was awesome: Kaitlyn & Kirk shared some laughter at the altar, jokes during speeches, and a bridesmaid taught line dancing after dinner. It was anything but boring! Having their beautiful pets as part of their wedding day made it even more authentic and fun.

Thank you to Kaitlyn & Kirk for choosing me as your Wedding Planner. I loved this day we created together. Congratulations, and cheers to your amazing future!
