Covid & Other FAQS

Question

What will the wedding be like as far as COVID goes?

Answer

We are hoping for the best — a completely normal event where all our guests are able to mingle freely and safely with each other. As of June, the Inns of Aurora are following both federal and state guidelines. UPDATE: Anyone that has received both doses of their vaccine can attend the wedding mask free- provided you are outdoors (e.g. at the ceremony and the reception). However, the Inn requires masks for all guests (vaccinated and not) when you are indoors in any building owned by the Inns of Aurora, unless you are a guest of and indoors at either the Rowland or EB Morgan House. All Inns of Aurora staff are vaccinated and will be wearing masks during the event. The Inn will provide masks and sanitizer as needed for our guests safety. If you have not received both doses of your vaccine, we ask that you take a covid test 48-72 hours prior to attending the wedding and follow the CDC guidelines on masks.

Question

What can I do to prepare?

Answer

If and when you are able and eligible, we would urge you to get vaccinated as soon as possible. And, if you are feeling unwell or are exposed to Covid in the days leading up to the wedding, we ask that you not attend our wedding. We would miss you terribly, but we would be beyond grateful for your selflessness, and we will make plans to see you when it is safe to do so.

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

Lakeside cocktail attire — we want you to be as comfortable as possible at our wedding. If that means a suit and tie or a cocktail dress, great! If you’re more comfortable in slacks and a beachy maxi dress, that’s great with us, too. August can be unpreditable with weather with highs in the 90s and lows in the 60s, watch the weather and bring layers! Most of all, make sure that you are comfortable enough to take stroll on the lawn, enjoy some yard games and dance the night away.

Where should I stay?

Answer

For our out-of-town guests, we have a room block at the Inns of Aurora. Or for other accommodation recommendations see the Travel section of our wedding website.
