To say that the COVID-19 pandemic has thrown a wrench in the plans for the many who were planning a big celebration is a dramatic understatement. These restrictions have challenged the special events industry to start thinking outside the box and quickly innovate in an effort to adapt to current times. To that end, many across the industry from planners, to officiants, to photographers, have come together to collaborate on special wedding planning packages that manage to adhere to all the current rules and restrictions.
If you’ve postponed your special day due to the pandemic but still want to celebrate on your original date with a small ceremony, or if, as restrictions ease, you’re looking to host an intimate celebration with those nearest and dearest to you in compliance with WHO and Health Canada guidelines, you may just find the perfect solution below.
