Question
Covid-19
Answer
As we all adapt to an uncertain time with COVID-19 (coronavirus), we are monitoring the news carefully and prepared to take every precaution necessary to make our wedding safe for our guests. As we get closer to the new wedding date we will keep you up to date if changes are made. We also understand that you may need to adjust your yes RSVP to a no based on daily changes in information and you or a loved ones health. All we ask is that you please inform us of any changes so we may plan accordingly. We cannot wait to celebrate with you!
Question
Masks
Answer
Holly Hills follows Frederick County guidelines. As of June 2021, it is highly recommended that guests who are not fully vaccinated still wear a mask. Holly Hills employees are also still required to wear a mask per corporate policies. Guests who are vaccinated but are not comfortable being without a mask, can of course still wear one. As we get closer to October, we will continue to keep you up to date if changes are made.
