October Brides 2021

Haven't decided a date yet- private residence my friends live in that hosts events is the likely spot (outdoors only on large property within the city). Unsure what to do. I just sketched out a guest list that's definitely missing people and I'm at 130 already . Quite a few guests are international/west coast so really unsure about things. The good news is we don't have to pay deposits or anything since so DIY if it ends up being the space we have in mind. I honestly can't imagine anything any earlier than late summer, even difficult to envision it this year at all.

What size weddings were actually happening last year in the city? I played two wedding gigs last year but they were microweddings. Have a bunch on my schedule for this summer but everything is pending, so hard to get the angle from that.

Also I found this page, for people like me/my partner who are doing a DIY thing hopefully at private outdoor space that doesn't have a defined "capacity"

10.17 Georgia bride here. Since Georgia is WIDE OPEN (lol), we're moving forward with our 150 guest list. I received my first dose of the Moderna vaccine last Thursday, get the 2nd in April, and our governor just announced that we're going to have a vaccine hub at the Civic Center in the city where I live (Columbus) so hopefully my FH, family and friends can get theirs soon as well. We opted to utilize our entire ballroom that seats 400 people instead of using just half of the ballroom so there's more distancing. I hope by August, we have a bit of normalcy.

Yay, wedding date twin! Such a great day!!!

LOL, for the Philly area brides (hi OP), we are still nailing down our date. But likely Oct now, as I forgot about LANTERN FLY season! The venue recommended against summer/early September for this reason. Like there isn't enough between a pandemic and economic downturn and weather, haha!

We're having our wedding and reception at The Manor House at the Commonwealth.

YAY!! We're getting married on the 16th. We originally had 155 guests, but have paired it down so everyone could be indoors. The idea of having people sit outside, or in the tent, didn't sit well with my fiancé. He's the one who wanted a big wedding. And we never considered moving our date, so we're having a smaller wedding.

Of course, anything could change between now and October. But the planner in me likes to lock everything in. So we're staying firm at 83.

Our venue is in Philly and the restrictions are currently 15% capacity with no food or drink so we're 95% canceling. We were supposed to get married last October and the restrictions were 15% but at least we could eat and drink hah. I personally have zero hope for October in city limits.
