August 2020 wedding

I am so sorry to hear that your wedding isn’t going to go as you planned. I am not in NYC but I can imagine the restrictions are tough.


I think it’s great that you are still going to do something special like a dinner to celebrate your wedding day! I don’t have advice but I just wanted to give you a shoutout that you are rocking it and that your day will be extremely special! My father in law keeps telling especially with covid foiling plans that you won’t be any less married, any less in love, and it will be special.
All venues are different, I am going through with my wedding reception because my venue said that they will not refund us because it’s our decision to cancel and we are not obligated to cancel... it’s very upsetting and adds a lot of stress. However my venue does not have a limit on guests. I would imagine that the venue would understand going from 300 to 50 is impossible and that it is out of your control, and truthful not your choice. Sending positive vibes and hoping you many many years of happiness!

I'm sorry you're having to cancel.

As someone in the NYC area, I'd be very surprised if you are able to find a place that will allow indoor dining, as that is still banned. You might want to expand your search to places that have private patios or rooftops.

That said, I do hope they give you some kind of refund, because it is not your fault that you are cancelling. Good luck!

I am! August 15th with 114 planning to attend. We will have a reception to follow. I’m in Indiana so I’m just hoping no other restrictions come up within the next two weeks!

Yes! 8/8 with 7 attending.

In maryland, getting married Sunday with a little under 100 in attendance.

Hi Tran, we've had to deal with a similar dilemma here in Colorado. What we are doing is having an "open house" style of reception where guests come and go in shifts. This way we can stay compliant. It is more planning, but we need our people!

Hope this helps!
