How your venue is handlingcovid-19

We are also getting married in CT. So far, my venue said to wait a bit longer before postponing our wedding to see how the reopening goes. We tried to contact them about a backup date but they recommended calling back after they have some guideline meetings. Our date is a August 29th, hoping for the best.

I'm sure most venues will give you a hard time with cancelling, and you have to consider their side as well. It's impossible for them to keep running a business if everyone cancels and wants a refund - they probably have building payments and staff and things they may have already arraigned for your wedding depending how close it is. Our venue allowed us to postpone - we moved our 4/4 wedding to 8/15 right when things were imploding - without much hassle. But the venue's side is what makes everything heartbreaking. We already made all of our payments, non refundable according to our contract, so we are determined to have our date if they'll let us and they remain open.



There will be requirements of course. Reworking our seating chart, smaller guest list. But ironically my husband picked the bigger room, so we should be good for most of our list. I'm sorry you're dealing with this. Check your contracts, consult with a lawyer. But I assume you forfeit your money if you just cancel. Any way you guys would consider postponing your big reception to next year?

Hey weeding date twin ! Have you considered just throwing a party there next year if you elope? Our venue is in MA and would only let us postpone and I don’t want to loose that money so I’m throwing the party next year

I wanted to talk about a plan B and I hate that I’m still making payments! They said they’re handling the cancellations within 30 days rescheduling. I kind of don’t want a big wedding anymore lol I just want to get married and have family there and that’s it!

I have the same wedding date and our venue at first was reluctant to talk Plan B, but we just talked with them last night and they are more supportive now and are willing to let us make the call at the 60 day mark which is next Tuesday. All payments move to the new date and we won't need to make additional payments as we were on track to give the final one right before the wedding. We are 99.9% going to postpone (there is a little part of me that thinks a lot of clear guidelines and directives coming out that will tell me how July will look... haha). I don't know if we will elope on our original date, but we will definitely be having a ceremony and reception next year. Your plan for eloping sounds lovely - would you consider postponing the date with the venue to have a reception with more people?
