Pet dogs Louis and Margot were star guests at the first wedding to be held at The Kennels Goodwood in West Sussex, where Marie Sawle, founder of the Billy+Margot pet treats brand, and her partner, businessman Andrew Jones, tied the knot..

Marie and Andrew were the first couple to get married at The Kennels. The building is part of the prestigious Goodwood Estate and was originally built to house the hunting dogs which were a key feature of life for 18th century nobility. For the last hundred years or so it has been the clubhouse for the Goodwood Golf Club, where Andrew is a member. 

Andrew and a group of friends played 18 holes on the Downs course before the ceremony. Louis and Margot would normally have joined them but stayed at the Kennels instead where they are both members. Canine membership costs £50, with 70% going to the venue's chosen charity, Canine Partners.

"We were looking for a venue that would allow dogs to be present at the ceremony and throughout the day, and The Kennels fitted our brief perfectly," said Marie. “Our special day would not have been the same without them."
