Big Wedding October 2021

Hey
Me and my hubby to be get married in 10th July this year and I’m still trying to stay positive ... realising it’s 147 days away is scary though because we still have a lot to do! My partner just wants to keep the date no matter what but we need a bit more clarification on how many people your allowed etc. Have you spoken to your venue to see if they can give you a bit of advice?

Our venue holds 200 ... we were hoping 100 day time and 160 night but that’s not looking hopeful I’m just hoping Boris give us some sort of idea on the 22nd when this road map stuff comes out. Worst case we have said get married with the number of people we are allowed in a Registry office and a mealAfter.. and maybe then keep our venue and try have the party next April x

Hi James

We're getting married on Sat 16 October 2021! I swing from day to day thinking if there will still be restrictions or not. We are currently planning for both no restrictions and if there are still restrictions, which has helped calm my anxiety as at least I have a plan in mind!

We've decided to have a small and intimate wedding ceremony & daytime reception of 30-40 guests either way so that if there are any restrictions remaining we should squeeze into them. If there aren't any restrictions we're then inviting an extra 70-90 guests for the eve reception/big ole party!

If there are restrictions we'll continue the day with 30 guests in whatever way we can.

Knowing that we have our 30 guests either way has made it so much nicer knowing that our wedding *should* go ahead, and in my mind, I can picture what the day would look like with restrictions (and I'm happy with that!) It's made us excited for the day even if it's not the Plan A.

Our venue was booked on the basis of 120 guests for the full day so it's rather large, but we're using decor to section off the barn for different areas of the day so if we're 30 it won't feel too empty!

View quoted message Really appreciate all the comments back on this. Nice to hear from people in a similar position who can relate. Fingers crossed we are all going to be okay, I think the mainstream media really doesn’t help with this feeling of anxiety about it all. Feels like constant doom and gloom is all you hear. We have booked most big things such as the venue, photographer, band, videographer etc. Will contact them to get their thoughts also.


Thanks again ?

Tell me about it! I stopped watching the news as it's always changing. You just don't know what to believe at the moment. It's all 'hearsay' until Boris makes his announcement.

Wishing you the best of luck with it all.

With Love,
