Of course the dogs come

A dog-inclusive wedding venue in Western North Carolina

Of course the dogs come.

They’re a part of the day — the drive, the waiting, the quiet moments before it all starts. It wouldn’t feel right without them.

At Longleaf Vineyard, dogs aren’t an add on or a special request.

They’re already woven into how the day unfolds here.

They’re there for getting ready, nearby during the ceremony, and present for the moments that matter most—with someone they know keeping an eye on them so everyone can relax.

Longleaf Vineyard sits high in the Blue Ridge Mountains, surrounded by open space, calm air, and room to breath.

It’s the kind of place where including your dog feels natural—and well supported.

For couples who see their dog as family, having them present matters.

Here, that’s something we plan for — so the the day feels easy, not complicated.

If that sounds like your kind of wedding day, you’ll feel it when you arrive

What dog-inclusive looks like at Longleaf Vineyard

We welcome dogs as a part of the wedding day, with the understanding that they’re supported by a dedicated handler throughout the event. This allows couples to include their dog in meaningful moments—while keeping the experience relaxed for guests and respectful of the land itself.

From getting ready through the ceremony and photos, dogs are thoughtfully included, cared for, and guided so everyone can stay present and enjoy the day.

Longleaf Vineyard was designed for couples who want the day to feel personal, grounded, and intentional. The kind of place where moments that matter aren’t rushed—and the people (and dogs) you love most are part of the story, not an afterthought.
