What are the current coronavirus rules for weddings in England?

For the full and most up-to-date guidelines on weddings, always refer to the government website. While there are currently no limits on guest numbers for weddings, there are other COVID-19 rules which may impact your big day. The staff at your venue will be required to wear face coverings and the government guidance also explains that guests may have to mask up as well.

“Some wedding or hospitality venues might ask you to wear a face covering and you may still be required to wear a face covering in parts of the premises where the main activity is not taking place.”

If you have guests travelling from overseas the new ‘Plan B’ rules will impact them as they now need to present a negative PCR test ahead of travel as well as once more when they are in the UK.
