Engagement, BARCS’lorette, and BARCS’lor… Just like a human wedding, our four-footed couple have all the pre-wedding festivities planned too! Join us for one, or both, of the lead-up events to the 2026 pup-tials. (You are not required to have tickets to the big Dog Wedding Gala to attend these events.)
Engagement Party at Blue pit BBQ
Date: Sunday, November 30, 2025
Time: 6:00-10:00 PM

This is your chance to meet Rooney and Wendell in person—our 2026 bride and groom! Join us for a charming pre-wedding soirée at Blue Pit BBQ & Whiskey Bar, the most elegant little barbecue hideaway in Baltimore. For just $15, enjoy an event-exclusive signature cocktail crafted just for the occasion, plus a raffle ticket for a chance to win a delightful prize. Come raise a glass, grab dinner (because let’s be honest—we’ll all be tired of Thanksgiving leftovers by Sunday), and toast the happy couple before their big day. A perfectly playful, perfectly polished way to kick off wedding season… BARCS style.
