FAQs

Question

Do we need to wear masks?

Answer

Yes. Even if you are moving about the restaurant you have to wear masks. If you are outside, you probably should be wearing a mask and I believe at this time, it is the rules of the venue that masks must be worn unless sitting down at dinner and eating food. Personally, I wear my mask even at the table if I am not actively eating or drinking.

Question

If I go to the bathroom do I have to wear a mask?

Answer

Yes, please wear your mask.

Question

What if I have received the COVID-19 Vaccine, do I have to wear my mask?

Answer

Yes

Question

Are you requiring a negative COVID-19 Test to attend the wedding festivities?

Answer

Yes. A negative nasal swab COVID-19 test must be received no later than 3 days before the event. UNLESS, you have been fully vaccinated with the COVID-19 vaccination. Any complete COVID-19 vaccination means that you don't have to get a test.

Question

What does a complete COVID-19 Vaccination mean?

Answer

Complete COVID-19 Vaccination means that you have received the "series" of vaccines that your brand requires and have completed two weeks of time after your vaccination. For example, Johnson & Johnson is one shot soooo - If you received your one shot and your vaccination card on April 1, 2021 you will be "fully vaccinated" in the eyes of the CDC by April 16, 2021 (2 weeks after your vaccination). For Moderna and Pfizer if you received your second shot in the two shot series on April 1, 2021 you will be fully vaccinated by April 16, 2021 according to the CDC. If you have only received one of two shots in your series, you are not fully vaccinated at this time and would require a negative COVID-19 nasal swab test.

Question

Why is important to wear my mask?

Answer

It is super important to wear your mask so that we can protect others who cannot receive the vaccine. There are many people our lives that Brian and I would like to celebrate with but due to the pandemic and health concerns, those who don't wear their mask make it hard for others who have compromised immune systems. Please try to take proper precautions so that we can celebrate safely with everyone.

Question

Will there be dancing?

Answer

At the time of the wedding, the phase we are in will dictate dancing. As of right now (April 7, 2021) there is dancing.

Question

What if the rules change and we don't have to wear masks anymore? Do we still need to wear them?

Answer

Out of concern for those we love, we will still follow a mask mandate at the wedding. If things miraculously get better and the pandemic disappears off the face of the earth, we will reconsider but more than likely, yes masks are going to be happening.

Question

Question

Question

How will you seat people at the reception?

Answer

The reception will be inside but windows will be open. We will do our best to space people out and take into consideration the seating plan but the tables are long and can fit 6-8 people. As guidelines change, so too will our seating plan. Please let us know if you are uncomfortable being near others.

Question

What other precautions will you take to ensure safety during a pandemic?

Answer

Wrist bands that allow guests to easily identify the comfort level of others. No platters - only passed appetizers. Masks will be worn unless you are actively eating or drinking. Hand Sanitizer Spacing during dinner. Seating with others in your household. Limited guest list. We are encouraging those who do not feel well to stay home. We will miss you but know we love you and will see you when you are feeling better. We encourage guests to share their comfort level with us as well as vaccination and Covid test results so that we can ensure the most safe environment for all.
