A: It depends on where you are getting married. In Massachusetts, for example, no dance floors are permitted, but you can still have your first dance as a couple, and do the parent dances.
Q: Can I still have a cocktail hour? Because cocktail hours are generally built around the concept of mingling and being social, they seem to be the perfect setting for the spread of the virus. So if you are planning a cocktail hour, try to create multiple seating areas and lounges so that your guests can keep in smaller groups, distanced apart from one another.
Scrap the cocktail tables and exchange them for smaller tables with a few chairs. Also remember that walk-up bar service may not be permitted, so cocktails may need to be served by a professional catering team.
Q: How many people can I have at my wedding? A: This answer depends on where your wedding is being held. Keep in mind that in most states, your wedding vendor team counts towards the maximum count.
Most states are restricting the number to lower counts for couples who are hosting the event at a private residence. A: Not following the guidelines not only puts you and your loved ones at risk, but it also puts the wedding and live event industry at risk: there have been documented cases of social events and weddings that have contributed to the spread of the virus because the guidelines were not observed. Beyond that, there are financial risks if you do not follow the guidelines: venues may keep your security deposit, your vendors likely will have every right to remove themselves from an unsafe environment and not issue a refund, and in most places, there are fines associated with not observing the guidelines.
Delta doesn't mean your wedding won't happen. This most contagious variant yet simply requires understanding and slight problem solving if needed. If the Delta variant is an alarming threat to your local community, it's very important you keep in touch with your wedding planner or your event coordinator at your venue. These pros will offer ways to mitigate risk primarily, measures that helped couples and the wedding industry safely throw events in Examples include moving an indoor ceremony outdoors for increased natural airflow and adjusting seating layouts at the reception to socially distanced arrangements.
It could also involve consideration for requiring COVID testing or requesting vaccination status to keep the day as safe as possible. The party will go on regardless, especially when you're adequately prepared for any celebration to come. One significant consequence of the coronavirus pandemic was the mass postponement of millions of weddings. Some to-be-weds dealt with double-if-not-triple postponements, while many repositioned their weddings into minimonies, microweddings and more.
It will still be beautifully executed, while your guests and all vendors remain safe. Hosts should do everything they can to provide a safe environment. This includes making hand sanitizer available, adding extra space between tables, and choosing a venue that is spacious with fresh airflow. Remember: we are all in the same boat, especially your vendors.
