Important Wedding Planning Tips During Covid-19

Important Wedding Planning Tips During Covid-19 – If you are trying to plan your wedding during this challenging time, we want you to know that you are not alone.  There are an estimated 1,000,000 brides and grooms in the same shoes as you.

Watching the news with the ever changing updates is frustrating.  We share tips in this week’s blog what you can be doing during this challenging time.

Here are our top ten event planning items that you can work on now  –

• Check-out venues with great ratings for availability in 2021.  Consider a private estate that can offer an outdoor ceremony, cocktail and dinner reception options.  Private estates are more flexible with dates and access times and you should be the only wedding onsite on your wedding day.
• Make sure to ask for rescheduling options in your location agreement.
• Review event insurance policies with your insurance agent to ensure that you have the right event insurance policy coverage.
• Keep your website current, so your guests are kept in the loop. Once you book a venue, consider sending out a new save the date card.
• Check with the CDC for current updates.
• Determine your guest count and please keep in mind that guest counts could be subject to lower guest counts.  Confirm with your venue that your agreement does not have strict food and beverage minimums, since guest counts could be lowered.
•  In the meantime, be creative and work on your wedding day timeline – processional order, special toasts and dances, your choices of music and the overall flow of the day.
• Plan on incorporating hand sanitizer and where to place it at your venue- in the bathrooms, on the dinner tables, at the entrance/exit, bars, etc.
• Check-out all of your cancellation policies in your new contracts to make sure that you have options.
• Choosing the dresses for the bride and bridesmaids – know where these dresses are made to make sure that there are no delays with shipments. The same goes for your florals – please make sure that you know where the florals are being shipped from, so there are no delays.
