Private versus Public events?

I haven't heard anything about private and public spaces being different. If that were the case, restaurants could open at full capacity, and we'd be right back where we started.

I think it might be too soon to know what October is going to be like, unfortunately.

If it's not coming from Cuomo's office, I wouldn't trust it.

I heard this a few times and then looked into it and its simply not true. whatever the gathering size allowed is goes. even if its your own property technically you would breaking the law (silly)

Well July 6 NY enters phase 3 opening and golf course are included so maybe you should contact then then and hopefully they will have an answer foor you. Hope that helps.

To my knowledge, this is entirely untrue. We're getting married in Scotia NY and our (privately owned) venue has given no indication to this.

I haven't heard anything like this! Private country clubs may still be allowing golf, but access to pro shops and dining areas are still subject to the same local laws as other business - including event restrictions.

My guess is by "private events" people mean hosting something in the backyard versus a planned event with contracted vendors, but both types of events are still subject to the same local guidelines.

My wedding was 10/24/2020 at a country club in upstate NY and they said they were only having a 50 person capacity. We decided to move our reception to 11/13/21 but still get married in 10/2020. It sucks, but postponing was a big weight off our shoulders.

Can I ask which country club? We're also having our wedding at a country club in Upstate NY and they won't let us postpone/reschedule yet! If we do, then we lose the entire deposit

Thank you! We're at Albany Country Club. I'm going to have to reach back out to them because I don't think it's fair that we lose our entire deposit when NYS doesn't allow our entire guest list! Thank you so much!
