What is your postonement or cancellation policy during COVID-19?
Postponements may mean a bit more work to try and find dates that work for everyone you have booked with. To help with this, we recommend looking at off days of the week such as; Fridays and Sundays to hold your wedding, as Saturdays in 2020 and 2021 may already be booked with vendors.
