Covid-19 postponement

Hey Vashti!
My wedding is October 9th at the Doctor's House and I am in the same position. Currently they have let me know that they are rescheduling August weddings and will let me know 8-10 weeks before our scheduled date what are options are. I had no idea they would charge us $5k for moving. We also want to postpone to 2021 as I have no idea how they would accommodate our wedding party number with the current restrictions. I do not see them expanding the # of people allowed very much in a few months especially at the risk of a second wave. It's really frustrating as majority of our vendors would also like to postpone and are not charging us any fees for postponing. I guess we'll both have to wait 2 months prior to our wedding date to let our guests know. I still have to get my dress altered and our invitations fixed, this is a mess!

I think its per vendor. reach out to them all and see what they say. ive read mixed reviews about what peoples vendors have been doing

We luckily postponed our September wedding and have had no extra fees, our venue even offered to refund us if we wanted to cancel. It’s hard because it sounds like each venue is doing things a different way.

Our date was August 8 2020. My fiance and I reached out to all of our vendors and our venue at the beginning of April asking what our options were regarding potential postponement. They all agreed to switch to another date at no extra cost and whenever we decided, they would accommodate us with the new date penciled in.

We decided to postpone a couple of weeks ago to August 7 2021. We are very lucky with our vendors and venue. They've all come through for us and switched to our new date.

I've heard a few brides on here saying that their venues are doing something similar.


Our date is October 2, 2020 and we just reached out to our venue and photographer in the last week with no issues. Our problem is my fiance's parents traveling accross the border from the states, we simply don't think they'll be able to this year and our venue was really understanding about that. Our photographer is preparing a new quote for us because we will need her for our elopement this year and our reception next year so we don't know the added costs yet.
For venues to reschedule week by week makes sense even though it's really really frustrating. If you were a July bride imagine how upset you would be if someone getting married in October was served before you. As much as it sucks, your guests will be understanding about anything that needs to be communicated on short notice. This year is a wedding season like no other and it's not as though you're withholding information without reason. Plus with restrictions changing constantly(and the potential for resurgence and returning to strict isolation) it's better to wait so you don't have 100 people RSVPd when only 25 can gather making you choose which people to un-invite.
As far as the organization and planning, reach out to your wedding party and friends and family for help if it becomes too stressful on shorter notice. People are there to help, you just need to let them know they are needed.
