Hiring animals for weddings is becoming more popular today because couples want their celebrations to feel expressive and unique. But there are a few things you should know about animal hire for weddings.
You need to hire animals that can remain steady in large, elegant venues and adapt to busy environments and work around photographers who are capturing fast-moving scenes.
At The Animal Talent Ltd, we provide ethically trained animals for weddings that are accustomed to motion and still media, so the animals you choose are already familiar with lighting changes, aisle movements, crowds of people and the kind of direction a wedding day demands.
When hiring animals that will be at your wedding, it’s not just a matter of choosing any random animal talent. Here are a few things we do to ensure that the animals and humans are all kept safe and have a memorable experience at your special event:
While these aren’t all we do when it comes to animal hire for weddings, we always pursue a commitment to improving the lives of animals off and during work.
At The Animal Talent Ltd, each booking is planned with attention to venue logistics, sound levels and the specific moments you want captured. The animals we provide for weddings also come with our guaranteed shots policy; you can have the reassurance that the results will match your vision. If you don’t get what you need, you don’t pay the bill. Contact us for a free quote.
Not usually. What we do is look at your venue and the timing of your day, then match an animal that already works well in that type of setting. The preparation happens on our side long before it reaches you.
Not the full day. For most weddings, the animals are scheduled for a specific window to avoid waiting through delays and heat. We time this carefully so that you can get the shots you want without stretching the animal’s limits.
Some couples ask for exotics, and because we hold a Dangerous Wild Animal Licence, we can advise on what is actually practical. Not everything works in a wedding setting, but if a species can be handled safely and the venue allows it, we can provide it too.
