Question

What are the COVID-19 precautions and requirements?

Answer

The Bride and Groom request that all guests provide negative COVID-19 test to attend the wedding or proof of full vaccine. It would be ideal to have the test conducted within 72 hours of the wedding or no earlier than 2 days prior to trip to Tahoe, with limited exposure or quarantine efforts before the wedding following the test. Masks will be provided. Hand sanitizer will also be provided. If you have any concerns around compliance to these precautions, please notify the Bride and Groom as soon as possible. Special exceptions will NOT be made as these precautions are in place for the safety of all guests in attendance. Please send us an email at sjbrooks.wedding@gmail.com with proof of vaccine, negative test, and/or questions. Again, please notify bride and groom ASAP if any concerns. Thank you for your cooperation and respect for this matter.
