Question

What is being done to ensure safety given COVID?

Answer

Steven and I made the tough decision to shorten our wedding down so that we could try our hardest to social distance and protect our guests. The wedding will only include 60 guests, who will be seated a safe distance apart. For the reception, the tables will be the CDC recommended guideline of 6 ft apart and there will not be anymore then 7 to a table. Unfortunately, there will limited open dancing available due to these restrictions we have placed. Guests will be required to be temperature checked upon arrival and the venue will ensure all their staff is temperature checked as well and will be wearing masks. Hand sanitizer will also be provided throughout the entire venue at multiple stations. You are welcome to wear a mask if you feel comfortable but it is not required. We do ask however if you are experiencing any symptoms to please stay home, we have a lot of older family members we would like to keep safe. We thank you for understanding as we all navigate this weird time together.

Question

Why is the wedding so short?

Answer

Steven and I thought long and hard about the best choices to keep our friends and family safe during this unforeseen time. Due to that, we have made a lot of difficult decisions and adjustments to the wedding, hence the shortened time. We hope you understand and know we want what is at everyone’s best interest. Due to our decisions there will be limited open dancing for guests at the wedding. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you.
