Weddings based on venue capacity
The number of people allowed to attend wedding ceremonies and receptions should be based on the venue capacity and the ability of the venue to promote social distancing NOT an arbitrary number of 20 when often venues are designed to accommodate hundreds of people and could easily accommodate 50 or more with social distancing.
Venues should have autonomy to risk assess this and couples and guests should be allowed to decide for themselves what risks they feel comfortable taking. Most people would feel much more comfortable socialising in a Covid secure wedding reception with family and people they know rather than going to pubs and restaurants with multiple strangers.
Also the rules on this should not be constantly
Changed because couples and businesses cannot plan and it is having a detrimental impact for both.
Why the contribution is important
Weddings are fundamental aspect of so many cultures and they have been disproportionately restricted for too long now especially given that the hospitality sector has re-opened.
The arbitrary limit of 20 people for a wedding ceremony (which includes staff like photographers and also children’s) makes planning for couples almost impossible and leaves weddings financially non viable for many businesses.
It’s crazy that people can go to the pub with potentially 100’s of people but they can’t sit down for a meal after their wedding with their immediate family members in most cases.
Weddings can so so so easily be tracked and traced- much more so than pubs and restaurants .
