Champneys dog friendly weddings

At our collection of country house estates, we're delighted to welcome dogs to play their part in your big day.

From sweeping lawns and walled gardens to Georgian ballrooms and Peak District backdrops, our venues have always been made for making memories. Now, at Eastwell Manor, Mottram Hall and Buxton Crescent, those memories can include your four-legged friends too.

Whether it's a dog leading the bridal party down the aisle, a paw print in the guest book, or simply having your loyal companion close by for the photographs that matter most, our teams are on hand to help you plan a day that welcomes every member of the family.

Each of our dog friendly wedding venues offers something a little different, from Eastwell Manor's Italian walled garden, to Mottram Hall's rose gardens and ornamental lake, and Buxton Crescent's Georgian grandeur in the heart of the Peak District.

Dog friendly accommodation is available at each estate so the whole family can stay over and continue the celebrations into the next day. As availability for dog friendly rooms is limited, we recommend speaking to our wedding team as early as possible.

Consider this permission to include the whole family.

We know your dog isn't just a pet, they're part of your story, which is why we've made it easy to include them in your celebrations. Our wedding co-ordinators will talk you through exactly what's possible, from ceremony spaces and photo locations to dog friendly bedrooms for the wedding party.
