Weddings and new regulations in 2020
Now trending in 2020, micro weddings! That was really an email I received about weddings recently. Geez. Of course things very different from what we expected this year to be, and the hardest part is rules for events continue to change as time goes on. As of June 10th, 2020, here are a few of the rules that Salt Lake County has implemented and recommended for private events.
Make sure the venue has filled out the attestation form and submitted to their county. Have the attestation form on display at the venue for guests to see.
Maintain social distancing of households at ceremonies and meals meaning everything is assigned seating.
No passed apps or cocktails.
Dance floors are OK, but discouraged due to inability to maintain social distance. One solution is to have a basket of masks by the dance floor for guests to use. Another option is to use multiple dance floors.
There will likely be no changes to event guidelines when the state moves from yellow to green.
The chance of moving from yellow to orange is slim and would only happen if our hospitals no longer had capacity.
Guests need to assume responsibility for their own health and the health departments are not interested in policing and breaking up events.

I can’t wait until we go back to a safe “normal” for weddings and events. I know many in the Salt Lake City area are ready to return to having the family gathered at our beautiful wedding venues with djs that get your guests going!
