    Maybe try look into a home boarding situation rather than a kennel? I had this exact same situation last month and found a lady close to me who minds dogs in her own home. She was indoors and had the run of the garden, and I was assured that if she seemed upset at night she could sleep with the lady on her bed. I did a trial day to make sure she was fine about a month before the wedding, and then we left her for 3 days for the wedding. I got photos and updates sent to me every day about how she was doing, and after the first day she really seemed to warm to the place. I'd have no hesitation leaving her there again, was delighted to not have to worry!

    If you post up where you're based I'm sure people could recommend somewhere close to you.

    I don't know anywhere up that direction myself- is the wedding in Donegal or how far are you willing to travel?
