A Beautiful Pet-Friendly Wedding Option in Ireland
Tankardstown House is one of the few luxury wedding venues in Leinster that truly welcomes pets.
Couples are free to include their pets in the ceremony inside the Orangery or let them roam the lawns during the drinks reception.
For many of my couples, having their dog present is a deeply meaningful part of the day whether it’s walking down the aisle, being a ring bearer, or joining us for portraits in the walled garden.
At Tankardstown, your four-legged family members are part of the celebration too.
