The Wait is Over as Weddings Return to Yorkshire
May the 17th in England saw the country move into the next phase out of the coronavirus lockdown. Much to the relief of many of us, hospitality settings have reopened and so have the doors of our friends and family, with us now able to socialise both indoors and outdoors with friends, family and loved ones.
What this has also meant is the return of weddings, which for many people across the country have been a total uncertainty for the past year and a half. The lockdown all but stopped flamboyant weddings from happening - with some small ceremonies allowed, many people decided instead to postpone, as a result of guest lists being restricted, venue closures and the general feeling of risk associated with socialising that has come about as a result of the pandemic.
Weddings at The Gamekeeper's Inn
So, what does the guidance currently state?
In England, there are still strict restrictions in place to ensure that your wedding remains both safe and enjoyable during the tail end of the pandemic. We do hope that in a few months time, as more social distancing restrictions lift, we'll be able to enjoy weddings just like in the good old days, but for now until the 21st of June 2021 at least, we do have a responsibility to ensure we keep each other safe.
At the time of writing, Weddings and Civil Partnerships are permitted to take place, indoors with up to 30 people in a COVID secure venue. This means within the venue that social distancing measures and track and trace efforts are in place.
Furthermore, with regards to Wedding and Civil Ceremony Receptions, according to the UK GOV website:
Receptions and celebrations will be permitted to take place with up to 30 people. They can take place either indoors in a COVID-secure venue (this does not include private homes), or outdoors (which does include private gardens). Although there is no requirement to be COVID-secure in a private garden, the organiser should take all reasonable steps to limit the risks of transmission and must adhere to the gathering limit of up to 30 people. If the event is taking place outdoors, it can be partially sheltered with, for example, a marquee, provided that at least 50% of the walled area remains open.
A broader range of venues will be able to be open at this step, as set out in the roadmap. Any venue which is not required in law to remain closed will be able to host events and allow viewings with appropriate COVID-19 mitigation measures in place. This includes, for example, any restaurant or indoor visitor attraction.
