Six Reasons Why A Donkey At Your Wedding Is A Great Idea!

 Guests in Ocala and central FL love the wedding donkeys because they totally kill an awkward vibe.  At weddings, you've got people that have never met, and before you know it, they're hanging with the donkey, meeting over the donkey and helping each other take photos. It's just a great ice-breaker. 

 Entertaining two different families at your wedding can be hard, and full of potential awkward pauses in conversation. Enter the beer burro. That's right: adorable donkeys dressed in traditional Southwestern garb (or outfitted to match your dress and wedding colors!) who serve beer, wine, soda — or any other beverage you request — at your rehearsal dinner or your cocktail hour. Guests can give these long-eared friends a hug, a treat (donkeys love carrots), or they can simply take a photo to remember the experience forever.  

 Tipsy, Mary Lou and Sass-a-frass love humans and can't wait to pack up and go to a wedding because that means a warm shampoo, a good grooming and most importantly, lots of treats. "The donkeys go in hotels, restaurants — they go everywhere. The first thing guests want to do is touch their ears so they have to be very tolerant and they genuinely love people.  The main thing is that they are trained to stand still and they're rewarded for their good behavior. 

Donkey's have been around forever and have always been put to work, whether that meant carrying riders, packing supplies or helping out around the farm. "Whole economies have been reliant on burros," Plus, the beverage packs that Wedding Donkeys & Beer Burros wear amount to only about 40 lbs, a negligible amount to their 350 lbs bodies. 

 Pictures from a beer burro wedding also have considerable charm. Everyone wants to get photos with the donkey.  People get creative with the type of photos they want. They take pictures kissing the donkey and a lot of times, it's funny when the bride stands next to the burro and it tries to eat her bouquet.

 It's easy to see why guests will be chatting about "that wedding with the donkey" for ages after the event.  It's something people don't expect, say.  Having the beer burro sets the tone and makes the event more memorable.
