If you’re a New York-based couple planning a wedding right now, chances are, you’ve heard the news that New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has officially announced that wedding receptions of up to 150 people, or 50 percent of the reception venue’s capacity, will be allowed so long as there is proper testing in place ahead of the event. This is huge and unexpected news for the countless engaged couples who’ve had to cancel, postpone, or put their wedding plans on pause over the last year. In addition to restored hope and anticipation, the recent ruling, which goes into effect on March 15, 2021, gives direction to couples and vendors for how to safely conduct a traditionally sized wedding.
