When looking at potential venues, ask what their current policies are around COVID-19. Have they been operating on a smaller scale or have they been closed? If social distancing is still a factor in the future, how does that affect the capacity? If government restrictions are still in place, how will that affect your minimum spend requirements?<\/p>\n<p>For both the venue and vendors, ensure you know what their postponement policies are before booking. The venue is the largest piece of the puzzle when it comes to planning a wedding, so be sure to have all the information before moving forward, and know your best-case and worst-case scenarios. Above all, try to be flexible and remember why you're getting married - to celebrate your love! COVID-19 took us by surprise, but as a wedding planner, it has given me the freedom to be even more creative, pivot when needed and still ensure my couples have the best day ever no matter what!<\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"details detail-left\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\"

wanting to start planning their wedding during a pandemic is to immediately hire a planner. So clich\u00e9, but so obviously true. Having a professional on your side who has spent the last seven months guiding other couples through planning issues that inevitably arise in the middle of a global crisis is so valuable. They will be able to nitpick and navigate new contract policies, help build appropriate expectations and back up plans, and provide confidence and stability in an otherwise completely unstable climate.<\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"details detail-right\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCA4OCA4OCIgd2lkdGg9Ijg4IiBoZWlnaHQ9Ijg4IiBkYXRhLXU9Imh0dHBzJTNBJTJGJTJGd3d3LmV2ZW50c291cmNlLmNhJTJGYmxvZyUyRndwLWNvbnRlbnQlMkZ1cGxvYWRzJTJGMjAyMCUyRjEwJTJGc2hlYS5qcGciIGRhdGEtdz0iODgiIGRhdGEtaD0iODgiIGRhdGEtYmlwPSIiPjwvc3ZnPg==\" data-spai=\"1\" alt=\"Photo of Shealyn Angus\"\/><div class=\"author-wrap\"><span class=\"quote-author\">Shealyn Angus<\/span><span class=\"quote-position\">Principal Planner<\/span><div class=\"quote-event\">Shealyn Angus Weddings &amp; Events<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<div class=\"vendor-info standard enabled-1 claimed-1\">\n            <div class=\"vendor-info-top\">\n              <div class=\"vendor-content-section vendor-title-btn\">\n                <h2 class=\"vendor-info__title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/rebecca-chan-events\" target=\"_blank\">Rebecca Chan Events<\/a> \n              <lable class=\"btn-vendor-premium\">\n                <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12px\" height=\"12px\" viewBox=\"0 0 20 21\">                             \n                    <path d=\"M20 8.13934L13.0902 7.0836L10 0.5L6.90984 7.0836L0 8.13934L5 13.264L3.81969 20.5L10 17.0836L16.1803 20.5L15 13.264L20 8.13934Z\" fill=\"#007a87\" stroke=\"#fff\" stroke-width=\"2\"><\/path>\n                <\/svg>\n                Premium\n              <\/lable><\/h2><div class=\"vendor-info__count\"> <a target=\"_blank\" class=\"vendor-info__link visible-xs-block visible-sm-block\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/rebecca-chan-events#reviews\"><div class=\"vendor-info__stars\"><div title=\"4.99\" class=\"vendor-info__stars-inner\" style=\"width: calc(20% * 4.99);\"><\/div><\/div><\/a><div class=\"vendor-info__stars visible-md-block visible-lg-block\"><div title=\"4.99\" class=\"vendor-info__stars-inner\" style=\"width: calc(20% * 4.99);\"><\/div><\/div><a target=\"_blank\" class=\"vendor-info__link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/rebecca-chan-events#reviews\"><span class=\"visible-xs-inline\">(<\/span>41<span class=\"visible-xs-inline\">)<\/span> <span class=\"hidden-xs\">EventSource.ca Reviews<\/a><\/a><div class=\"vendor-info__divider show\">|<\/div>  <a target=\"_blank\" class=\"vendor-info__link show\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/rebecca-chan-events#blog-mentions\">36 Article mentions<\/a><\/div>\n              <\/div>\n              <div class=\"vendor-button-setion\">\n              \n            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/rebecca-chan-events\" class=\"modal__button profile-btn\" target=\"_blank\">\n            Visit Profile\n            <\/a> \n              \n                <button class=\"btn-vendor-contact btn-vendor-inquire-now ml-2 modal__button\" data-id= id=\"request-info-price--27\">\n                <svg width=\"14\" aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"fal\" data-icon=\"comment-dots\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-comment-dots fa-w-16\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M128 216c-13.3 0-24 10.7-24 24s10.7 24 24 24 24-10.7 24-24-10.7-24-24-24zm128 0c-13.3 0-24 10.7-24 24s10.7 24 24 24 24-10.7 24-24-10.7-24-24-24zm128 0c-13.3 0-24 10.7-24 24s10.7 24 24 24 24-10.7 24-24-10.7-24-24-24zM256 32C114.6 32 0 125.1 0 240c0 47.6 19.9 91.2 52.9 126.3C38 405.7 7 439.1 6.5 439.5c-6.6 7-8.4 17.2-4.6 26S14.4 480 24 480c61.5 0 110-25.7 139.1-46.3C192 442.8 223.2 448 256 448c141.4 0 256-93.1 256-208S397.4 32 256 32zm0 384c-28.3 0-56.3-4.3-83.2-12.8l-15.2-4.8-13 9.2c-23 16.3-58.5 35.3-102.6 39.6 12-15.1 29.8-40.4 40.8-69.6l7.1-18.7-13.7-14.6C47.3 313.7 32 277.6 32 240c0-97 100.5-176 224-176s224 79 224 176-100.5 176-224 176z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg>\n                Request Info\n                <\/button>\n              <\/div>\n            <\/div> <\/div>\n<div class=\"blockquote_author \"><div class=\"blockquote left \"><div class=\"inner-quote\"><p>Amidst the pandemic, some couples are rescheduling to wait it out while others are wanting to get married. If you're looking to tie the knot during this time, there are a few things you must know about planning. It is necessary to be very flexible - in your guest count and your plans. The situation changes on a whim sometimes, so keeping up with the news and regulations is also key. A lot of our clients have everything sorted out and decisions made, but are just waiting on a date that works for all parties. This is a great way to plan, when there are so many variables up in the air. Finally, having an experienced wedding planner on your side who will not only assist you in figuring out changing plans, but provide you some emotional support, is so essential to a stress-free and smooth wedding experience in a really trying time.<\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"details detail-left\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCAxNTAgMTUwIiB3aWR0aD0iMTUwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjE1MCIgZGF0YS11PSJodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnd3dy5ldmVudHNvdXJjZS5jYSUyRmJsb2clMkZ3cC1jb250ZW50JTJGdXBsb2FkcyUyRjIwMTclMkYwMyUyRnJlYmVjY2FjaGFuMS5qcGciIGRhdGEtdz0iMTUwIiBkYXRhLWg9IjE1MCIgZGF0YS1iaXA9IiI+PC9zdmc+\" data-spai=\"1\" alt=\"Photo of Rebecca Chan\"\/><div class=\"author-wrap\"><span class=\"quote-author\">Rebecca Chan<\/span><span class=\"quote-position\">Owner &amp;

It is very important to plan your big day with an open mind and be willing to get creative knowing that your wedding may not turn out exactly as you envisioned. With the government restrictions on gathering limits subject to change, it's important to have multiple guest lists, that allow for both worst- and best-case scenarios. What we have learned from this season is that you have to react and respond to changes made by the government that could affect your celebrations quickly. You might not need to un-invite your guests, but you might need to change your logistics around and break down your guests into different groups if the gathering limits apply. Hiring a professional wedding planner can help take care of all the change of plans and provide you the guidance you need for each situation. Get clarification from all your vendors on postponement and cancellation policies before booking and evaluate the situation when you need to pay a big installment to a vendor as most payments are non-refundable.<\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"details detail-left\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCAyNDcgMjQ4IiB3aWR0aD0iMjQ3IiBoZWlnaHQ9IjI0OCIgZGF0YS11PSJodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnd3dy5ldmVudHNvdXJjZS5jYSUyRmJsb2clMkZ3cC1jb250ZW50JTJGdXBsb2FkcyUyRjIwMjAlMkYwMiUyRkNhcm1lbi1MdWsucG5nIiBkYXRhLXc9IjI0NyIgZGF0YS1oPSIyNDgiIGRhdGEtYmlwPSIiPjwvc3ZnPg==\" data-spai=\"1\" alt=\"Photo of Carmen Luk\"\/><div class=\"author-wrap\"><span class=\"quote-author\">Carmen Luk<\/span><span class=\"quote-position\">Principal Wedding Planner<\/span><div class=\"quote-event\">Devoted to You<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<div class=\"vendor-info standard enabled-1 claimed-1\">\n            <div class=\"vendor-info-top\">\n              <div class=\"vendor-content-section vendor-title-btn\">\n                <h2 class=\"vendor-info__title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/mad-bash-group\" target=\"_blank\">Mad Bash Group<\/a> \n              <lable class=\"btn-vendor-premium\">\n                <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12px\" height=\"12px\" viewBox=\"0 0 20 21\">                             \n                    <path d=\"M20 8.13934L13.0902 7.0836L10 0.5L6.90984 7.0836L0 8.13934L5 13.264L3.81969 20.5L10 17.0836L16.1803 20.5L15 13.264L20 8.13934Z\" fill=\"#007a87\" stroke=\"#fff\" stroke-width=\"2\"><\/path>\n                <\/svg>\n                Premium\n              <\/lable><\/h2><div class=\"vendor-info__count\"> <a target=\"_blank\" class=\"vendor-info__link visible-xs-block visible-sm-block\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/mad-bash-group#reviews\"><div class=\"vendor-info__stars\"><div title=\"5\" class=\"vendor-info__stars-inner\" style=\"width: calc(20% * 5);\"><\/div><\/div><\/a><div class=\"vendor-info__stars visible-md-block visible-lg-block\"><div title=\"5\" class=\"vendor-info__stars-inner\" style=\"width: calc(20% * 5);\"><\/div><\/div><a target=\"_blank\" class=\"vendor-info__link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/mad-bash-group#reviews\"><span class=\"visible-xs-inline\">(<\/span>89<span class=\"visible-xs-inline\">)<\/span> <span class=\"hidden-xs\">EventSource.ca Reviews<\/a><\/a><div class=\"vendor-info__divider show\">|<\/div>  <a target=\"_blank\" class=\"vendor-info__link show\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/mad-bash-group#blog-mentions\">46 Article mentions<\/a><\/div>\n              <\/div>\n              <div class=\"vendor-button-setion\">\n              \n            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/mad-bash-group\" class=\"modal__button profile-btn\" target=\"_blank\">\n            Visit Profile\n            <\/a> \n              \n                <button class=\"btn-vendor-contact btn-vendor-inquire-now ml-2 modal__button\" data-id= id=\"request-info-price--66\">\n                <svg width=\"14\" aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"fal\" data-icon=\"comment-dots\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-comment-dots fa-w-16\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M128 216c-13.3 0-24 10.7-24 24s10.7 24 24 24 24-10.7 24-24-10.7-24-24-24zm128 0c-13.3 0-24 10.7-24 24s10.7 24 24 24 24-10.7 24-24-10.7-24-24-24zm128 0c-13.3 0-24 10.7-24 24s10.7 24 24 24 24-10.7 24-24-10.7-24-24-24zM256 32C114.6 32 0 125.1 0 240c0 47.6 19.9 91.2 52.9 126.3C38 405.7 7 439.1 6.5 439.5c-6.6 7-8.4 17.2-4.6 26S14.4 480 24 480c61.5 0 110-25.7 139.1-46.3C192 442.8 223.2 448 256 448c141.4 0 256-93.1 256-208S397.4 32 256 32zm0 384c-28.3 0-56.3-4.3-83.2-12.8l-15.2-4.8-13 9.2c-23 16.3-58.5 35.3-102.6 39.6 12-15.1 29.8-40.4 40.8-69.6l7.1-18.7-13.7-14.6C47.3 313.7 32 277.6 32 240c0-97 100.5-176 224-176s224 79 224 176-100.5 176-224 176z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg>\n                Request Info\n                <\/button>\n              <\/div>\n            <\/div> <\/div>\n<div class=\"blockquote_author \"><div class=\"blockquote right \"><div class=\"inner-quote\"><p>Wedding planning can often feel overwhelming for couples even during normal times! Throw a pandemic into the mix and you might be thinking: now what?! The best advice we can give if you\u2019ve postponed or had to downsize is try to be prepared for everything and anything. Follow the news closely and maintain an open conversation with your vendors and guests. And if you can, have multiple plans in place that allow you to flexibly pivot in the face of changing situations.<\/p>\n<p>As much as we may not want to admit it, we may need to accept the possibility that intimate weddings are going to be the way we do events for the next little while. So if you really want to get married sooner rather than later, we say get hitched to the love of your life with your nearest and dearest now and consider that large, more festive celebration for later (if that\u2019s something you know you want).  Also, getting married during a pandemic doesn\u2019t have to be stressful. During this crazy time, you can still have the most gorgeous dream wedding you always thought you would. It may work a little differently, but that\u2019s what us planners are for! We\u2019re here to make your lives as stress-free and simple as possible. Not to mention, we\u2019re so lucky to be in the era we\u2019re in, in terms of technology advancements because now all your friends and family that may not be able to attend in person, can still join you virtually!<\/p>\n<p>Pop-Up Chapels or elopements also provide a great solution to couples still looking to get married, but in a more intimate setting. Not to mention, chapels also tend to be all-inclusive (florals, officiant, photographer, live music, etc.!) and all the planning details are completely taken care of!<\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"details detail-right\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCA4OCA4OCIgd2lkdGg9Ijg4IiBoZWlnaHQ9Ijg4IiBkYXRhLXU9Imh0dHBzJTNBJTJGJTJGd3d3LmV2ZW50c291cmNlLmNhJTJGYmxvZyUyRndwLWNvbnRlbnQlMkZ1cGxvYWRzJTJGMjAyMCUyRjEwJTJGTmljb2xlLUNvbm5vci5qcGciIGRhdGEtdz0iODgiIGRhdGEtaD0iODgiIGRhdGEtYmlwPSIiPjwvc3ZnPg==\" data-spai=\"1\" alt=\"Photo of Nicole Connor\"\/><div class=\"author-wrap\"><span class=\"quote-author\">Nicole Connor<\/span><span class=\"quote-position\">Lead Event Planner + Designer<\/span><div class=\"quote-event\">Love by Lynzie Events + Design<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you remember the days when all you had to worry about was whether or not it was going to rain on your wedding date?
