COVID is ending! Well, the wedding restrictions in Ireland anyway!
Music is back, dancing is no longer illegal.
Benny's final show is nearly, NPHET is being disbanded and Benny is going back into his cave. Laura was right, about most things. Hopefully with the lifting of restrictions, the extreme differences in what venues allow are gone and the bending of rules can stop.
At the end of August 2021 Laura and Benny photographed what seemed like the most normal wedding since before COVID. People have stopped talking about COVID.
October 22nd 2021 will see an almighty mini celebration!
That said, watch out for pesky guidelines that might linger.
From September on you can have as many guests in a church! Reception is 100 guests until October 22. The sense is wedding couples will invite more guests, Christmas 2021 could see big weddings.
Be careful what you listen to, people still getting rule understandings wrong.
Masks will be optional for weddings but required in other settings (retail, health, transport). Be sensitive to people choosing to use masks!
Laura and Benny give a run down as to what weddings look like now. Check with your venue if you are unsure of anything in the run up to October 22.
Plan your band setup and start time!
Cork Jazz 2021 just in time for the music ban being lifted!
Civil Ceremonies run by the HSE are explained.
Summer 2022 is extremely busy. Laura gives an enquiry tip.
