Covid-19 Information

COVID-19 UPDATE 4.12.21 Dear Family, Friends, and Loved Ones, Kevin and I, together with our families, acknowledge and reflect on how extensively and devastatingly Covid-19 has rippled through our lives. However, it is with full and hopeful hearts that we look towards the future and events that bring many loved ones together after such a challenging and isolating year. As many of you already know, Kevin and I have been vigilantly and anxiously monitoring the ever-evolving battle against Covid-19 in order to make an informed decision about our upcoming July 17th, 2021 wedding. With Chicago and Illinois releasing vaccination schedule information and making vaccines available to those 16 years of age and older as of 4/19/21, we are cautiously optimistic that by July 17th, 2021 over 90% of our wedding guests will have the opportunity to get the Covid-19 vaccine. Kevin, myself and majority of our immediate family have thankfully already had that opportunity.
Question

Safety of our guests

Answer

1. While the Monte Bello Estate has a total maximum occupancy of 300 guests, our current estimated guest count is 180. Therefore, our wedding will follow current Illinois Phase 4 guidelines. With more than 70% of Illinois residence, 65 years or older currently vaccinated under Phase 4 guidelines, it can be expected that the state will reach and be in Bridge Phase well before our July wedding date. 2. The ceremony and cocktail hour will both be located outdoors (weather permitting). 3. The reception will be located in a tented area, with adequate airflow and ventilation. 4. Staff will wear masks throughout the entire event and sanitizing stations will be available throughout the venue.

Therefore, we completely understand that each of you needs to make a decision that is best for you. You need to be comfortable and confident in your decision, whatever that may be. Please feel free to call, text, or email Kevin or myself with any questions, suggestions, or other considerations that you may have. We fully realize that our wedding has become a team effort, and that we need everyone’s participation and help in making this a safe, fun, memorable, and Covid-19 free event. Please continue to be safe, healthy, and well. Kevin and I, together with our families, are so excited to hopefully see you all in July! Sincerely with love, The Future Regals
