June 27th wedding is On, but guidelines are not clear

Maria, on May 19, 2020 at 9:06 AM Posted in Wisconsin Planning 1 2
Now that things have opened back up in Wisconsin our wedding venue (rural Oconto county where there are few cases of Covid) is opening and our wedding is back on schedule for June 27th. The problem is that our venue has not come up with guidelines yet. There seems to be nothing set in stone for our state. It went from shut down to wide open. It’s frustrating and makes planning impossible since we don’t know if we will need to cut back on the number of guests. We invited about 145 people. The max capacity for indoor receptions (it could rain, right?) is 150. If they allow it to be full-capacity, I feel irresponsible. Would you cut back now or keep waiting to see what happens? Do any of you know what guidelines most Wisconsin venues are following? They did say they’d get back to me in another week when they know more, but I’m getting impatient. Any advice is much appreciated.

    Hi Maria,

    This must be so stressful. I'm so sorry!

    With June right around the corner and the unclear guidelines for your venue, I would begin researching for a Plan B. I would hate for you to wait too long and then have to postpone last second. I would give yourself a date (maybe one month from the wedding), to make a decision.

    I know this isn't easy and again I'm so sorry you are going through this.

    Sending so much love your way!

    Smiley heart

    Thanks Gina! We are in our early 50s and this is a second marriage for both of us so we’re pretty laid back. It does mean, however that our parents are older and therefore at a higher risk. We are going to use June 1st as the cut-off to make a final decision. Our plan B is to have it next to the pond on my FH’s beautiful dairy farm. I appreciate your support! ❤️
