Thoughts of a return COVID-19 pandemic certainly cannot be ruled out for 2021 and beyond. Couples across the world were caught off-guard in 2020 as COVID-19 swept through cities. Brides found themselves cancelling their big day, downsizing their guest lists, and navigating unknown waters of contracts during a pandemic.
As we move into 2021, couples certainly need to be prepared for another wave of COVID-19. The best course of action is to be prepared and have a Plan B, Couples with wedding planners were better able to navigate contracts, reschedule vendors, and swing Plan B into action in 2020!
What questions should you ask your vendors when you move your wedding from 2020 or plan a new 2021 wedding?
- What does the cancellation policy look like and does it include a COVID-19 clause?
- Does the vendor allow for a refund or only a reschedule?
- Is there an additional fee to reschedule the date?
- Does the minimum food/beverage cost apply if my guest count is reduced due to COVID-19?
If you find yourself faced with Plan B due to COVID-19, what are some options for saving the day?
- Using technology available, you can live stream your wedding for those who are not in attendance.
- With a reduced number of guests, your ceremony and celebration become more intimate. Focus on the quality time and memories with your closest family and friends in a beautifully decorated space.
- For the reception, consider a formal sit-down dinner with your guests, perhaps in an outside setting under the stars
