Non-profit organization Mtn Peaks Therapy Llamas & Alpacas launched the service "Wedding Llamas": llamas and alpacas in the costumes of the bride and groom can now be brought to the celebration.
In 2016, lamas attended 11 wedding ceremonies. The cost of such services - from $ 300, writes Inporpanda.
According to the leaders of the organization, all the money received will go to the maintenance of the center and allow the animals to engage in therapy. For example, Lama Rojo comes to children with disabilities, as well as to sick and blind people. Llamas relieve anxiety, help calm down and improve overall health.
Is in charge Mtn Peaks Therapy Llamas & Alpacas - Laurie Gregory, and her daughter's event coordinator is Shannon Joy. There are now 5 lamas and 5 alpacas in the therapy center, of which only three are involved in therapy.
The first wedding with a lama took place in 2011.
2017 has already received dozens of orders, although the wedding season has not yet begun.
Lori Gregory argues that the newlyweds became more interested in lamas as invited guests to the wedding, and the account in Instagramwhich is called WeddingLlamas.
Most brides prefer not one llama, but a pair at once. Usually it is Rojo in the suit of the groom and the smallest alpaca Napoleon in the suit of the bride. Sometimes Lama Smokey joins them.
The price for this service is from 300 dollars, and the cost depends on the distance between the center and the wedding venue, as well as the number of hours that the lama spends with the guests. Usually the newlyweds have one or two hours. This time is enough to show the lama to all the guests and make a beautiful photo session.
