Yes, we are still asking that all attendees be fully vaccinated and/or boosted two weeks prior to the event weekend. The only common exceptions would be children under the age of five.
As guests arrive to the venue, they will be greeted at the front gate by staff of Lowndes Grove. At the gate, temperature checks will be conducted, and all attendees will be asked to show their vaccination cards and IDs, as they are being identified on the guest list.
We are asking all attendees to please bring their picture IDs, COVID-19 vaccination cards, and to take picture of the front and back of your cards just in case they are forgotten.
At this time, we are not requiring the wear of face masks. If the COVID-19 pandemic becomes more severe as we near the wedding day, this decision may change. In that case, face masks will be provided.
Yes, as you check into the venue a staff member will be checking temperatures. If a guest registers with a temperature of 100° or higher, he or she will be asked to take a rapid test before entry.
At this time, we are planning to have COVID-19 rapid tests at the ready, just in case anyone is feeling poorly or ill in anyway, or registers over 100°. If needed, members will be asked to take the test by the front gate.
At this time there are no exceptions to our policy for those over the age of five. Our goal is to have a 100% vaccinated wedding for the safety of ourselves, our families and friends, and the staff taking care of us.
A very important and challenging question. In short, we are making this a requirement for the well-being and safety of each and every single person who attends our wedding, to include family and friends with underlying health conditions. Finally, we as the Bride and Groom deserve nothing but happiness and peace-of-mind on our big day, and this is one way of doing so.
If you are reading this, we love you very much. We want you to be a part of our biggest day, and would never change that desire. Just as the pandemic has not been easy, so too are the decisions that we have made. We just ask that you understand that there are no malicious intentions, no political agendas, and no feelings of animosity towards anyone. We encourage you to uphold your views and beliefs. But simultaneously, we must do what we can to ensure the safety of our loved ones. Again, we love you very much and look forward to having you next to us on our wedding day!
