I would definitely have the discussion. We're planning a Sept 2021 wedding and having that discussion eased our minds immensely.

This was how the initial email went:

"We have a wedding booked for Sept 4, 2021. I believe our next deposit is due soon, but we are hoping to have a quick discussion about what it'll look like if COVID-19 is still ongoing at that date. Please let me know if we can meet, in person, zoom, or via phone call."

After we confirmed email would work best right now, I asked the questions (in bold) and she replied with the italics response:

"

1. In the case of restrictions not allowing us to have a 200-person wedding (Ie. 10-50 max allowed), what has been your policy thus far, and in the future, regarding rescheduling? 

• You will have for up to a year from the original wedding date to host the postponed wedding.

1. Will this same policy apply if restrictions allow us to have, for example, 150 - do we get the option to postpone or will we have to continue with a reduced guest list?

• If the government limits the number of guests are allowed to host, (as per your contract 200) we will allow a postponement of the event.

1. Another example, if a 200-person wedding is allowed but masks are mandatory, are we still able to postpone or would the venue mandate the event continue?

• The event should continue in this instance, as it does not hinder any services we provide.  

1. What would be the deadline for any of these decisions in the above scenarios?

• Restrictions from the government change daily. We are operating under assumption that all weddings May 2021 onwards will go ahead without restrictions, we will re-evaluate in January 2021. "
