(SPOT.ph) Your wedding day will be one of the most important days of your life. No doubt you'll want all of your loved ones there with you to celebrate your special day, including your fur babies.
Pets have become more and more integral to the family so if you want them there with you whether during the ceremony—cue the ultra-cute viral clips of pet ring bearers or flower dogs or cats you've seen online—or at the reception, we say go for it. The only thing is that finding a venue will require an extra step of double-checking whether the establishment will allow it.
Allow us to help you out with a roundup of a few spots that will let your fur babies in with you to celebrate! Just note that as with all things on your journey of setting up your wedding day, you'll have to discuss the details properly to be able to get the best possible scenario. Allowing pets at formal celebration venues is still kind of a new thing, so things may change depending on your agreement with the establishment. The establishments below have said "Yes" to allowing pets, but that's just the baseline. How that will play out on the actual day will depend on the discussions beforehand. Check out the list below and we wish you an advance congratulations!

White Space is arguably one of the most popular event venues in the Metro. Any event that's meant to be the event is held here, and we think that's thanks to how versatile the venue is. True to its name, you can book an empty white space and transform it however you want to be able to curate an amazing experience for you, your fur babies, and your guests. You can choose from four different spaces going down from 735 square meters to 125 square meters. You can definitely bring your fur babies but it's best to clarify the terms once you inquire for your event.
The Westin Manila

The Westin Manila is known to be one of the premier pet-friendly hotels in Metro Manila. A staycation there with your pets is the ultimate treat, so what more a celebration with them? The Westin has the Sonata Ballroom which can comfortably fit up to 330 but can be partitioned for just 200 or less guests. They also have function rooms that can fit up to 120. Just note that there is a P5,000 fee for each pet if you book a room for your wedding. You can further discuss the terms with them for the event itself, especially if you're planning for even more pets at the party.
The Blue Leaf - Gallery MiraNila
26 Mariposa Street, Quezon City
Contact: (02)8536-5410
E-mail: gallery@theblueleaf.com.ph
Website: www.theblueleaf.com/venue/hall/
The Blue Leaf has several venues across Metro Manila. There are huge ones in Taguig, Quezon City, and more, but our choice for the one we'd want our pets to join us in would be the relatively more intimate space of the Gallery in MiraNila, Quezon City. What sets this one apart is that it's located in the estate of a heritage house, with the modern-contemporary hall having direct access to its gardens. We're sure the pets would appreciate the outdoor space, while also giving your venue a more magical and cozy feel.
What's great is that The Blue Leaf generally allows pets at all their venues. You may check the terms, but the baseline is that the pets have to be accompanied by a handler at all times and they must be wearing diapers.

Contact: 0917-822-9913
E-mail: mnlph.hiltonmanila@gmail.com

Hilton Manila is another premier pet-friendly hotel, this time down south. You're sure to get five-star treatment here and so will your dogs. They've got event packages that you can easily turn pet-friendly for less hassle, just note that you have to tell them immediately you're bringing your fur babies so that the terms can be discussed. There is a standard allowable max size of pet at 30 pounds, but you can try giving them a call. Note, too, that there will be a cleaning fee on top of the venue package depending on which hall or room you book.
