The COVID-19 pandemic affected the event industry as it brought events to a halt. Depending on the state, some allow gatherings with restrictions and others that have not allowed any type of gatherings.
So, what does a professional Planner do with all of these restrictions, and a client who is eager to have their event?
Here are a few ideas to stay ahead and alert:
1. Check the most current CDC Guidelines.
2. Check the states protocols, guidelines, and mandates.
3. Work around the parameters, if there is a way to move ahead with the couples wedding:
- Flexibility is key. Discuss all of the options with the couple and wedding professionals before making changes.
- Take all safety precautions into consideration.
- Review the CDC website for daily updates. Inform the couple of any updates.
- Confirm with the venue what protocols they have in place, and how they are proceeding with events during the pandemic.
- Keep open communications with all the professionals involved with the wedding to make sure you are ALL on the same page.
- Have your team take their temperature daily.
