Four Legged Guests Welcome

One of the best parts about a full weekend at The Black Diamond Lodge is that couples can make the experience feel completely their own and sometimes that includes a few extra guests. This couple brought in May’s Minis, a crew of miniature ponies that spent the afternoon wandering the property, getting pets from guests, and stealing the show in just about every photo.

The ponies became an instant gathering point throughout the weekend. Guests walked them around the lodge, hung out with them between events, and fully embraced the unexpected addition. It added this playful, relaxed energy to the weekend that felt perfectly at home at The Black Diamond Lodge.

We love when couples lean into details that get people interacting instead of just observing. Whether it’s dogs joining the ceremony, a late night bonfire, or miniature ponies hanging out on property, The Black Diamond Lodge gives couples the space to build a wedding weekend that actually feels personal to them and memorable for everyone there.
