Covid-19 and early Wedding Planning

My heart goes out to every couple having to face cancellations or postponements in the upcoming months. It really truly sucks. But I also wanted to reach out to all the couples (like me) who were at the beginning of their wedding planning journeys and now find themselves treading water. For me, we had just picked our top venue options to tour before we had to stay home (we live in NYC) and are just paused at this time. We can't pick our date until we pick our venue, but we wont get to see any of our venues in order to pick one for months, which means we can't hire any other vendors or make big decisions for months... It isn't the same as cancelling or postponing, but it still isn't a fun spot to be in. Especially after being together 8 years before even being engaged, we were really excited to dive into the whole process. How are the rest of you early planners coping?

    I was an early planner myself so I just thoroughly researched every vendor before checking any of them out in person. You will be able to read reviews and see how vendors dealt with COVID 19, How did they treat their brides? Maybe they will offer virtual tours? You can make super in depth pintrest boards. You can put you budget together. Do curbside pick up from potential caterers. There is so much planning to do you will be able to stay busy Smiley smile

    Hi Sierra,

    Congrats on your engagement! Have you considered doing a virtual tour? A lot of venues are doing virtual tours of venues with their couples. This will allow you to connect with pros and get an up close look at your future venue!

    Additionally, some vendors are doing great deals right now in order to keep business flowing their way. If you book now, not only will you will helping small businesses, but you may also save some money!
