Question

What health and safety measures will you be taking during the event?

Answer

We will be abiding by the most up to date CDC guidance for in-person gatherings. We are strongly encouraging all who are capable to be fully vaccinated if they plan to attend our wedding. Those that are not vaccinated will need to wear a mask when not seated at their assigned table, including getting food and beverages and while on the dance floor. Those that are fully vaccinated will not be required to wear a face mask during the event. If you are NOT vaccinated please contact me at vcbarone21@gmail.com as we need to seat those unvaccinated people together to ensure our guests are comfortable during the reception. Please continue to check this website as the date of the wedding approaches for more particular guidelines.
