As of 04/07/2021, Maryland has imposed a capacity limit of 50% on large venues specific to seating only. For us, this means that we have 80 seats allotted inside of the reception hall, and 25 seats outside on the patio. If the capacity rate increases, these numbers will increase for our event as well. Stay tuned for more updates on these numbers.
As of 04/07/2021, Maryland's governor has left the mask mandate in place, so we will ask that guests wear masks, unless you are seated at the dining tables. Masks will be provided, although we invite you to bring your own, especially if it matches your ensemble!
We have a multi-faceted approach to ensuring your safety during this event. First, in our RSVP, you'll note that we have included two questions, "Where would you prefer to be seated?" and "Have you received the COVID vaccine?" We are using these questions to keep attendees informed by tracking the vaccination rate of our party, and will do our best to accommodate your seating request. Additionally, upon arrival, we will provide a guest check-in station where a coordinator will take your temperature, provide you with masks, and a wristband indicating your level of comfort with interaction. The wristbands take a cue from traffic lights: Green will indicate "Hugs, High-fives and Handshakes," Yellow will indicate "Elbows and Fist-Bumps Only," and Red will indicate "No Contract, 6 feet apart, no exceptions." Let the wristbands do the talking!
As part of the RSVP, we ask that guests make sure they indicate if they have been fully vaccinated, or will be fully vaccinated by the date of the wedding. As of 05/06/2021, 79% of guests who have RSVP'd are now, or will be fully vaccinated by the time of the event.
