Gianna and Company Wedding Guide 2020 – Covid 19

Our phones ring daily with couples still trying to book a wedding this year.  We understand that this is a challenging time and we are staying on top of the ever-changing updates.

Los Angeles has different mayors and they run things very differently from one another.  Therefore the rules for one city could be different for another city.

Currently, we are told not to have gatherings for more 10 persons.  However, we are told that someone can have a ceremony for up to 100 persons, but that does mean that they can have a reception to follow.

Most of our clients have rescheduled their weddings to 2021 in order to avoid the stress of trying to stay on top of the ever-changing updates. We think it is important and healthy to enjoy your engagement and not have to be focused on the ever changing rules and regulations.

Wedding Planning in 2021 –

We have learned from our contacts, who are working closely with the City of Los Angeles –

1. Temperatures will be taken upon entry – this pertains to all event professionals and guests arriving onsite. We are advised that there will be a person designated to manage this process.
2. Waivers must be signed by event professionals and guests to gain  entry.  The waivers will confirm that the individuals are sick and that they understand that there is a risk to getting Covid-19 and they release all liability.
3. All event professionals must wear masks while onsite and wait staff may have to wear shields, instead of a mask, along with gloves.
4. Hand sanitizers will be required through-out the venue
5. Venues that are indoors will be able to hold up to 60% of their capacity.
6. Tables must be 6 feet apart.  This is standard procedure, so it allows guests to have room move their chair in and out with comfort and the wait staff to move in-between the tables to serve food.
7. Guest counts at each table are still being worked out.  Guessing that families and couples can probably sit together, however we are not sure what the limit will be at each table.
8. Currently, we understand that there is no dancing allowed.  Imagine if people have to keep six feet apart on the dance floor.  The dance floor will look sparse and there would be no energy.
9. Private estates are becoming a great solution due to having guests in open spaces.
10. Good news is that social distancing has not been an issue with planning a wedding. Our clients are still dress shopping, setting up food tastings, since more regulations are being lifted.

Please know that we are here for you if you have any questions.  We are staying on top of the ever-changing rules with following podcasts and City of LA announcements.  We are especially grateful to our contacts that are keeping us in the loop.
