Pets are our best friends, and it only makes sense that they witness and provide us with emotional support as we embark on the next exciting milestone of our lives.
The Internet melted this month when a photo of bride Valerie Parrott and her service dog Bella went viral. Whether you need your own Bella to assist and calm you at your ceremony, or just simply want Buddy as the best man(dog) to your wedding, here are 5 pet-friendly hotels to hold your ceremony!
Do note that you should inform the venue operator about including your pet so that necessary preparations can be made.
Conrad Centennial Singapore
With plenty of positive reviews about doggy staycations at the Conrad Centennial Singapore, it's no doubt the pet-friendly hotel is number one on our list. Conrad Centennial allows domesticated dogs and cats with the maximum weight of 34kg in its premises, although your furry pals must be placed in pet carriers or leashed in public areas. Do note that a non-refundable pet cleaning fee from S$150 may apply.
Renowned for innovative cuisine, Conrad Centennial Singapore is where you can customise a wedding menu that will delight your party to no end. In the hotel's pillar-less ballroom, you and your guests will be treated to uninterrupted views of your magnificent feast as it unfolds. When the day's celebrations end, your journey continues. Take advantage of the hotel's prime location and delight in an adventure for two as you enjoy alone-time exploring all the sunny island has to offer.
Hilton Singapore Hotel
Conveniently located in the heart of Orchard, Hilton Singapore Hotel offers a range of ballrooms and flexible layouts to seat up to 500 guests, including your fluffy VIP. The Grand Ballroom, especially, features floor-to-ceiling windows and luxurious glass chandeliers. Renowned for its cuisine, wedding menus are provided, customisable to your request.
According to the hotel's policy, service animals and small pets (maximum weight of 5kg) are allowed, though a non-refundable deposit or cleaning fees may apply. An in-house wedding specialist team is available to coordinate your event, so you can consult the team about including your pet at your wedding.
Four Seasons Hotel Singapore
Located off Orchard Boulevard, Four Seasons Hotel Singapore has an extensive selection of function rooms for different sitting plans and reception style. Four Seasons Ballroom, the largest venue, can host 320 guests for a banquet and 450 guests for a cocktail reception. Affordable packages are also available along with wedding specialists to coordinate decor, design, food, beverage and recommend suitable vendors.
Small dogs (below 7kg) are allowed at no extra charge, and amenities are provided for stays, although cleaning fees may apply. Take note that your pets are required to be leashed in common areas and are not allowed in F&B outlets. Do consult the in-house wedding specialists about including your pet at the ceremony.
Regent Singapore
Located centrally near Botanic Gardens and Orchard Road, Regent Singapore boasts modern decor complemented by quality Asian art. With in-house wedding planners, the hotel makes preparing for your wedding a breeze with several themed decor coordinated with floral arrangement to select from.
While pets (service animals not included) are only allowed in guest rooms and public areas exclusive of function spaces, the hotel is able to make an exception to include your pet for the wedding march-in. Your pet will however need to be carried and cannot remain in the function space without supervision. An advance arrangement can be made with the Concierge for a pet-sitter if required.
Capella Singapore
Nestled in the idyllic island of Sentosa, Capella Singapore is a getaway from city life. The spacious resort offers a variety of wedding venues to choose from, such as The Gallery that hosts up to 180 guests for an intimate cocktail reception, or the Grand Ballroom for a lavish banquet for up to 400 guests. Romance specialists are on hand to help you plan every detail of your ceremony from floral arrangements to entertainment.
The pet-friendly hotel allows pets up to a medium size, and will prepare pet amenities upon request for your stay. What's more, your furry friends can be brought everywhere in the premise except for F&B outlets and the cascading pools. While there will be no charge to have your pet as part of your wedding, do let the romance specialists know beforehand so arrangements can be made!
