Couples getting married on October 10, 2020

View Quoted Comment So fun that the date is your anniversary! 💕 We picked 10/10/2020 because it’s a fun play on dates. My fiancé’s birthday is 9/9 & my birthday is 11/11 so it just felt fitting to get married on 10/10!

Has anyone set a time for when they’re deciding on postponing? I live in NYC but getting married in New Rochelle maybe 20-30 minutes from where I live. I know it’s especially bad here. I pretty much have everything done. I even ordered invitations in March before all of it got started so I just need to decide when to make the call. My RSVPs are for Sept 3rd so I do want to give people enough time to respond as well. I was thinking Mid July/Early August the latest.

Well...I don't know whether to panic or cry or...what...I just got an email from the planner at the venue I booked for my wedding on 10/10. They are cancelling all weddings through the end of 2021. I don't know what to do. Do I look for another venue that'll accommodate us? Do I just cancel everything until this COVID thing is over with and start over with planning?

View Quoted Comment Omg! I’m sorry this happened to you! First I would definitely have a good cry if thats what you feel you need to do. We invest a lot in a wedding thats more than money. Your vision means a lot to you and you should take time to let yourself feel.


I would look for another venue. A lot are doing virtual tours and you can video chat with the people that work there. See if they still have your day and maybe put a soft hold on another just in case.

Oh yeah that’s good. We changed our venue to my brothers backyard. Sent our save the dates out but having our videographer tape it for people that dont feel comofrtable to come. inviting 75 to the ceremony. other people invited to drinks and drinner but expecting not all will come becasue its going to be shorter along with everything going on.

View Quoted Comment I hate to say this, but I think you are right. I'm getting married in Wisconsin, but my dad, my sister and my best friend are in Utah and Idaho. If my family was local, I think we would just cut our already small (60 person) guest lost down...but I can't envision getting married without my dad and he's in is early 70s, so I really worry about him traveling. I'm not sure what to do...

Thanks for the support! I've calmed down a lot since that day and I feel better about it now. I'm actually glad they canceled. We toured another venue on Sunday and I'm in absolute love with it! We're going to 2 more this coming Saturday just to make sure we make a good decision so we should have a new venue by this weekend. Unfortunately, no venue in my area in my price range has 10/10 available so we're being forced to choose a new date. But that's ok cause if that means we get a better spot/deal then I'm not bothered.

Everything happens for a reason!

We are getting married 10/10/20 at Fall Creek Falls and our theme is country chic.

View Quoted Comment We're getting married on The Yacht Starship II. While most of it is included - DJ, wedding coordinator, chairs and room setup, and food and beverages. It makes it convenient. All we need is the cake (and dessert) and florist, pretty much, and we booked the boat captain to officiate.

View Quoted Comment We just got engaged this year, so I thought all good venues would be taken. Surprisingly, and perhaps due to the pandemic, there were a lot of good ones still available for our 10.10.2020 date. We really wanted to stick to the date, so regardless of what's happening, his parents, at the very least, vowed to be there. What I'm trying to say is, it's still not too late to make alternative plans push through with it, if you didn't want to reschedule. A lot of folks are open to plan changes nowadays and could be quite flexible. Good luck! I'm rooting for you.

We looked over and contacted over 30 venues and only one had the 10/10 date and it was far too expensive for us. We had been saving for over a year with one number in mind so being unable to come up with much extra unfortunately had to be the deciding factor for us. Thankfully we found one we fell in love with and liked better than the one we had but we had to move the date to 10/3. I guess everything happens for a reason afterall!

Yay! That's awesome that everything worked out that way for you. Have fun!

Congrats! we wanted 10/10/2020 and luckily, someone cancelled their reservation for the venue we wanted and we were able to book it. We're having a different venue for the ceremony and reception (cost of ceremony & reception in the same venue was over budget for us).

Yay...happy for you! congratulations to you, too. have a fun time.

Omg. I’m so glad I’m not the only one still sticking to having a wedding on 10/10/2020! I really hope things will get better!


Are there any other brides sticking to their date? If so, have you changed anything about the wedding because of COVID-19 ?

I'm not sure. So far I'm sticking to the date, but if it worsens, I'll push it back. It's really unpredictable right now. I don't want every single of my guests feeling the need to put on face mask or risk their health for a celebration. All I can do is plan like it will be 10/10/20 and make a final decision based on the situation in August. I also wonder what other people are doing.

View Quoted Comment Im sticking to my 9/18/20 date. Ny hasnt released an inkling of guidance yet for what restrictions will be like in phase 4. I was annoyed because i thought weddings fell under phase 3- food service and hospitality- but they actually fall under phase 4 which is rec/entertainment and gatherings. Every state is different though. I will have to wait till my state is in phase 4 to even hear from the venue so it wont leave much time to send invitations but I’m still carrying on with my planning. Going for my first dress alteration saturday.

View Quoted Comment So far we're still moving ahead. Ohio has allowed wedding receptions up to 300 people, with distancing. Our tentative guest list is around 150 and our venue can accommodate that with distancing. And recently Ohio has allowed dancing (with distancing). With all of that I think we're in a pretty good position. We did trim our guest list from around 190 to 150, and we'll likely use an open photobooth rather than an enclosed one. I know our venue is now using a served buffet, as well as increased cleaning schedules.

View Quoted Comment I’m getting married in NY as well in Westchester county. Thanks for the info, I thought weddings would be under phase 3 as well. Our guest list was small beforehand (65) so hopefully we won’t have to limit anymore. I have seen on other brides’ postings that their venue is forgoing the minimum number of guests in order to encourage social distancing. So you would be able to have a wedding of 60 in a room that typically holds a minimum of 100 if that makes sense.


I’m still planning as usual. Making the call in August. Telling my guests to check our wedding websites for any updates

View Quoted Comment Im westchester as well!! hoping for the best
