Big Takeaways

Even though some places are re-opening, protocols are still limiting weddings from functioning fully. So the dates are still be postponed. Those that are happening require a lot of extra planning to meet social distancing standards and other requirements.

Some places, like San Francisco, do not have a date for re-opening yet. Whereas, other places, like Michigan, are already lifting stay-at-home orders.

In Fort Worth, TX, they can have weddings at 25% occupancy and have had a few ceremonies. Most venues are flexible with rescheduling and cancellations right now. If you are worried, then move the date! Don’t add the extra stress if you can help it.
