Dogs are permitted at the ceremony, drinks reception, and wedding breakfast, making this one of North Wales' most genuinely dog-inclusive wedding venues. The estate also has ten acres of grounds where your dog can stretch their legs throughout the celebrations.
Can my dog attend the wedding breakfast at Soughton Hall?
Yes - unlike many venues, dogs are welcome to stay for the wedding breakfast at Soughton Hall & The Coach House. With no staff on site to provide a handler, it is strongly recommended that a dedicated person - whether a professional dog chaperone or a trusted family member - is responsible for your dog throughout the day.
Do I need to hire a professional dog chaperone for my wedding at Soughton Hall?
The venue strongly recommends that a dedicated handler is in place on the day, as they have no staff on site who can fulfil this role. This doesn't need to be a professional, but having someone whose sole focus is your dog means they can be part of every moment without disruption.

How many dogs are allowed at Soughton Hall?
There is no maximum number of dogs at Soughton Hall & The Coach House - which makes it a brilliant choice for couples with multiple four-legged family members. For larger groups of dogs, it's always worth discussing arrangements in advance with the venue team to make sure the day runs smoothly for everyone.
Are there any rules about dogs at Soughton Hall I should know about?
A £250 pet damage deposit applies for any dogs staying overnight. Of this, £50 is always retained to cover a deep clean of the space, with the remaining £200 refunded at the end of your stay, subject to no illness or damage to the room. Beyond this, the venue's approach is refreshingly relaxed - no cap on dog numbers and full access throughout the day. For a full checklist of questions to ask any venue before booking, our dog-friendly wedding venue checklist is a great place to start.
Is there anywhere for my dog to go for a walk near Soughton Hall?
Yes - the estate sits in ten acres of its own grounds, giving dogs plenty of space to roam during the day. The surrounding Flintshire countryside also offers beautiful walking nearby, with the Clwydian Range Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty just a short drive from the estate - perfect for a morning walk before the ceremony or a wind-down stroll the following day.
Is there dog-friendly accommodation on site at Soughton Hall?
Yes - dog-friendly accommodation is available on site, making Soughton Hall & The Coach House ideal for couples who want their dog to be part of the full wedding weekend rather than just the day itself. A £250 pet damage deposit applies for overnight stays, with £200 refunded at checkout subject to no illness or damage.
What makes Soughton Hall & The Coach House a good choice for couples with dogs?
Very few venues offer the combination that Soughton Hall & The Coach House provides: two distinct spaces to choose from, dogs welcomed throughout the entire day (ceremony, drinks reception and wedding breakfast), no cap on dog numbers, and on-site accommodation so your dog can stay the night. Add ten acres of grounds and easy access to the wider Flintshire countryside, and this is a genuinely outstanding choice for couples who want their dog front and centre on the big day.
