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.
Yes, please wear your mask.
Yes
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.
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.
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.
At the time of the wedding, the phase we are in will dictate dancing. As of right now (April 7, 2021) there is dancing.
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.
Yes, please.
You betcha!
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.
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.
Please send a photo of your vaccine card and or email/photo of your negative test results. Negative Covid tests must be within a three day window (if you have not completed/received your vaccination).
