Covid Wedding

Does a officiant and photographer count towards your attendee numbers if we had an outdoor ceremony in Ontario this summer? We have been able to narrow down our guests to exactly 10 (this is only parents and siblings). I am trying to plan our backup wedding.

    Both are counted in BC's. so technically we can only have 6 guests if it stays at 10. I also have to drop the second shooter photographer which sucks because i wanted shots from both angles of me walking down and my Fiancés reaction..

    I would think the vendors/services do count as your count during this time for weddings. Considerations of the guest count will change based on the situations given at the time of Covid. Its best to check out any changes of Vendors services being part of the count if unsure on the web.

    Every province is different. I would contact your venue. They should know exactly who is included in the count

    Last year vendors DID NOT count in your total number at the venue I work for in NOTL, ON. It was only guests and the couple of course. The hotel staff, DJ, photographers etc. did not count. I would check with the place where your ceremony is booked!

    We counted them in our numbers. The guidelines in our province say gatherings of x number of people, not guests so to us they counted as people.

    As was said, in a backyard wedding they do count. In red or grey zones they do as well. In my health unit and the surrounding ones, they do not count into the total at a venue when in the other zones.

    August should have much more room numbers wise. I personally think you would not have a hard time with a 15 person backyard wedding that time of year if you have it outdoors especially.

    In Niagara your photographer and officiant count even at a venue if they are not working for the venue. If it is your backyard type of wedding every person counts towards your count. I think that it depends on each municipality.
