We are getting married on July 3rd, 2020!! This was our original date. We did not know our wedding was going to happen until June 12, 2020 when the reopening phase 3 draft was unveiled. With the phase 3, outdoor gatherings went up to 100 and indoor events to 50 or 30% of capacity.Thankfully, our venue (the RBC Convention Centre) had a big room that could accomodate 150 guests (30% of the capacity seated in 3 groups of 50). Our initial guest list was around 200.For those looking for venues, take a look at the RBC Convention Centre. Their capacity is larger than most of venues in Winnipeg.However, the party will be different as we still have to follow social distancing and other health guidelines in place. To all the brides and grooms who still want to get married during this outbreak, don't expect to have everything you wanted. The most important thing is to still have your wedding and still keep your friends and family safe.Also, please support local businesses at much as you can. Most of them are willing to accomodate if there are any changes to your wedding organization. My flower vendor ( House of Silk), rentals (Spark Rentals and Spark Rentals) and my photographer and videographer (Freckler Photo and Lino Martinez) have been amazing to work with through this stressful process. Having understanding vendors is very helpful when managing constant changes.I will post some pictures after the wedding so you have a visual of our social distancing ceremony/reception. I wish every bride and groom here peace and good luck during your wedding preparations. Stay safe and have a great summer. Cheers!Sheila K.
