Ohio allows wedding receptions up to 300 as long as we have tables of no more than 10 people distanced six feet apart, social distance to dance and if not seated. This makes a world of difference than the former policy of staying seated the whole time which I’m okay with.
We are moving forward with the wedding, it’s not like we can postpone without losing thousands of dollars anyway since we signed a contract.
Our venue will be enforcing social distancing guidelines, setting tables six feet apart, have sanitizer available throughout venue, place distance markings at the bar, and serve all food items. Staff will wear masks. The venue holds 250, I will need to reduce my guest count from 150 to 130 due to distancing guidelines but I was thinking of even reducing it to 100. Trying my best to sit social circles/families who interact often, keep it mainly family with few close friends. I was also thinking of offering face masks if they want to wear one.
Thoughts? I feel guilty still having a wedding but we can’t afford to just lose out of our hard earned money.
