Your venue needs to okay it

If you are bringing an elephant, to your Las Vegas wedding (true story), you need to make sure that
1. the venue allows exotic animals
2. the animal can fit in the space

Plus there is the figurative elephant in the room about your physical elephant in the room… insurance. That’s right, the couple that wanted an elephant at their Vegas wedding were required to get a multimillion dollar insurance policy before the elephant was allowed on the premises.

Oh and that doesn’t include the $10,000 to hire the elephant in the first place. Wowza!!! I guess you and your guests will be stuck eating peanuts along with that fine elephant you purchased for the night.

WHAT IF YOU GO TO THE ANIMALS?

So rather then pay to have the animals come to you, why not go to them? This is a great idea especially if you are looking for a rustic or farm style wedding day. Be aware this may not be the cheaper avenue. You will likely need to rent all your decor, chairs and table… not to mention toilets (depending on the venue).

You'll need to find out about noise ordinances and handle all the logistics. Your all night dance party may not happen. All your furry friends need to stick to their bed times.
