August 2020 Wedding-nj

Hi! So I’m not in New Jersey but pretty close in Maryland. My wedding is also at the end of August. Our venue has now cancelled all weddings through the middle of July. I honestly don’t think weddings in large scale will be happening. My fiancé’s family is in New York and New Jersey and have similar feelings. I’m just waiting for my venue to allow me to cancel or postpone so I don’t lose money.

Ours is end of August in New York. I’m waiting til July to call cause I really dont want to postpone again. We may have to move the dance floor/cocktail hour outside. I’m fine with cutting my guest list or even dealing with certain social distancing requirements. But if masks are required or no dancing allowed, those are my two deal breakers. Try to get a 2021 backup date just in case!!

We're supposed to be getting married August 22 in South Jersey with about 180 guests, give or take! Our venue refuses to even talk to us about postponing/cancelling until at least the end of June. We really want to postpone because most of our guests are out of state (and out of the country -- whose flights have already been canceled), and so many are high-risk (including myself). But since the venue refuses to talk to us about our options, we're having to continue planning as best as we can (even though it feels like a huge waste of money right now, especially buying invitations). We're in this weird limbo, and it's so frustrating. It looks like NJ will be entering phase 2 in mid-June, but I still don't think large weddings will be allowed.

Hi! Not in Jersey but in Mass so not too far. We are moving VERY slowly here with the reopening but I am still waiting till the end of June to make the final decision. I have a backup date set for next June but I have already postponed once and I am hoping to not postpone again. It is sad that we don't get to have that 'traditional" wedding like a bridal shower or bachelorette because of all of this, and I don't feel excited because I am constantly worrying about the next phase etc etc. I don't mind cutting down my guest list but wearing masks will be the call for me. I hope it all works out for us!

Hey everyone. Our wedding is set for the 2nd week in August in NJ. Our venue has been great as far as communication and options but I’m really torn and just so unsure if August will work out. The clock is ticking and I just don’t know if everything can be done in time. Family is worried about getting their attire and my fiancé still needs his tux etc. We chose a back up date for Oct of this year... only a few months difference but we’re not waiting a full year to get married and our venue barely has anything available for next year as is. Need to get invited created and sent out ASAP if we’re still going with August and if we switch to Oct we need to let guests do ASAP. Just very frustrating. Our guest list is about 100 so a far as cutting the list we will be left with half our guests. As far as restrictions we are not going to have our special day be subjected to masks, social distancing, no dancing etc. but our venue really has no answers for us but they believe masks won’t be needed. We’re going to make a decision by June 15th. Hoping for the best! 🙏🏻
