Closed Allow wedding receptions in Tier 3 in line with wakes

Closed on

In Tier 3 ,wakes can go ahead for up to 15 people in the form of a sit down meal, but wedding receptions are banned. Bring rules on wedding receptions in line with the rules on wakes.

Engaged couples have spent thousands on their wedding days and the pandemic has forced them to postpone, cancel, change and lose so much already. They are already penalised with ceremony numbers, allowing 15 to a wedding but 30 to a funeral. The wedding industry in the UK is massive and as well as couples losing out, companies have lost millions too.
