Wedding April with Covid19

Contact your venue! Our venue made sure we knew that they were not closing! It made me feel a lot less stressed!

Talk with your vendors about a possible plan b and see if you'd have to pay anything to change your plans. Luckily all of our vendors were small business owners, and they were quite happy to work with us. Make a list of folks that you have to have there, then discuss what would be a deal breaker with your spouse. If you can't marry without your grandma there and she is stuck without travel, you'll have to make that call. There's no real answer, and it sucks all around. You just have to decide for yourselves what the right answer is. Good luck! We were 4/4, but now we'll go back to our original date anyway.

You got this! Things are changing so rapidly with this virus, we don't know where things will be. My wedding is April 11th and I am waiting until March 30th to make a final decision. Waiting to see if my venue cancels events or the government regulates events my size. Talked to the venue about postponing but so far we are going full steam ahead. Continuing to monitor the guest situation. Most venues/vendors are flexible so reach out! They don't want to lose business either.

Sending you positive vibes and thoughts! Hope all works out for you

Hi Briana,
My heart ❤️ breaks for you and the other 👰 April and May brides!! You probably should consider a plan B and talk to your venue and vendors, with some states now limiting groups to 100 people, you need to be prepared for your state blocking your wedding!! I pray things are better by then, GOOD LUCK!👍💒

I’m so sorry you have to go through this, I understand how hard and stressful it is. We were supposed to have our wedding next weekend but had to make the call today to postpone. It’s been emotional turmoil.
Really hope that you can find/make light in this dark situation.We are postponing a proper celebration till the end of the year. Since this is a huge blow, we still want something to look forward to and will be having a small, intimate ceremony next Saturday. Maybe this is something to consider? Much love to all who are also going through this!

My date is April 25. I plan to still go forward.


With all the uncertainty, I don't want to postpone only to have to postpone again or cancel altogether. I have Plan B's in my head for certain situations like a vendor not showing up, etc. It really is the worst kind of lose lose situation. Any decision made is going to be extremely difficult and emotional. Good luck ❤️

I think its naive to assume anything at this point. I understand we must keep hope, but we must also be realistic and prepare for the worst case scenario (postponement.) I am right here with you.

Our wedding is planned for June 13, 2020 and while that seems far enough out to not have to postpone - with all the uncertainty and information rapidly changing on a daily basis, I can't help but be overwhelmed with stress and anxiety. I've already had to cancel by bridal shower and am sure my bach is out of the question at this point too.

Here in CA, we have a "Shelter in Place" ordinance in effect through April 19th with the possibility of that extending to May if our situation here does not improve. Our venue has had to cancel and postpone weddings that were planned through April. My heart ACHES for those couples.

We are hoping late April will offer more clarity for the future of 2020, however, what everyone needs to understand (myself included) is that even if things "calm down" soon, it doesn't mean people will be out of danger while in close proximity to one another. We never expected to have to make such a heartbreaking decision, however, it is not nearly as heartbreaking as the idea of putting our loved ones at risk.

take some time to decide what is best for you, but understand that there are many other couples debating the same and dates will become less and less available.

Hi there, so sorry you are going through this too, you're not alone! I've just posted a lengthy message regarding this issue. I think it would really help you to read it.
