There’s a meaningful way to choose a date that aligns with your style and personality.
Couples who love symbolic dates tend to book early. These dates attract high demand, especially at popular Northern California venues.
🐾 Ready to Secure Your 2026 or 2027 Wedding Date?
If one of these dates is calling your name, now is the time to reserve your venue and your vendor team.
Many of these dates book out a year or more in advance—especially at dog-friendly venues here in Northern California. We are almost fully booked for many of these 2026 dates.
At Dog of Honor®, we specialize in helping couples bring their pups into their wedding day safely and seamlessly. Based on our experience chaperoning at over 200 weddings at 100+ venues throughout Northern California, we are the trusted experts on the local conditions for each potential venue.
Can the pup cool off indoors during a 110-degree Sacramento day? Is there sufficient shade outdoors? Is the ceremony site on artificial turf that can burn paws? We can help minimize many of these concerns with our Waggin’ Wagon or pet stroller, and of course, we always supply plenty of cool water. Please take a look at our blog post PAWS before selecting a wedding date or venue for more insight.
If you’re planning for 2026 or 2027, we would love to support you and your dog.
