venue and photographer have al-
ready offered to be flexible. “We
want to feel good about everyone
attending doing so when they
also will feel good about it,” Son-
tag wrote in an email, adding that
postponing the wedding “relieves
some of the incredible stress of
this moment as we can now go
back to just being worried about
this moment, rather than how it
will affect our wedding.”Find alternatives
Weddings are by definition all
about bringing people together,
which becomes tricky during a
period of social distancing. Cor-
dogan suggested using technolo-
gy t o help include those who can’t
attend in person.
“We’ve had the best man read
the father’s toast, and had the
toast live-streamed,” Cordogan
said of past clients. Virtual guest
books and prerecorded speeches
can help, too.
When it comes to food and
drinks, she advised skipping com-
munal and self-service options
like buffets, though the recom-
mended alternatives of individu-
ally plated options are more ex-
pensive.
“I love a coffee station, but if
someone coughs and the creamer
is sitting right there, yikes,” Cor-
dogan said. “I would have service
of all food and beverage items.”

When Ezring and foster were
planning their wedding in Italy,
they didn’t even know wedding
insurance existed. They found
just two providers that covered
Italy: one had an update on its
website saying it doesn’t cover
cancellations because of the coro-
navirus, and the other didn’t re-
spond to a request for comment.
“Even if we had bought it, it
would be debatable about wheth-
er it would be covered,” foster
said.
Borales notes that most wed-
ding venues in Washington re-
quire the hosts to take out liabili-
ty insurance. “We always suggest
to get insurance,” Borales said,
which typically runs $300 to
$600. However, it’s unclear
whether wedding insurers will
cover the costs of events canceled
due to the coronavirus. “This is
not something any of us have
really had an opportunity to work
through,” she said.

for couples getting married in
a space widely visited by the
general public, like a park district
building, public library, museum
or popular event space, ask what
their cancellation plans look like.
And read the contract carefully.
for those getting married in busy
places of worship, ask about the
cleaning procedures.
“Some churches in Chicago do
up to five weddings a day, bring-
ing in large groups of people,”
Cordogan said. “It’s okay to ask
about their cleaning plan.” The
same goes for hotels.should we cancel or
postpone?
Depending on how those ven-
dor contracts are written, couples
could be on the hook to pay for
everything if they try to change a
wedding’s date. Industry vendors
have dealt with weather issues
and government shutdowns. A
pandemic is different. “most of
our contracts, while they cover
acts of God, they lack the human
element,” Borales said. She is ad-
vising clients not to cancel be-
cause the majority of them would
lose the investment they’ve made.
Because many venues in the D.C.
area are booked about a year in
advance, Borales adds that post-
poning would probably mean
postponing until 2021.
Adam Ezring and Heather fos-
ter, who live in Washington, had
planned a may 3 wedding in Italy
but are postponing until this
summer. “We had some friends
propose that we just get married
in D.C. and do a one-year anniver-
sary trip to Italy. But we’re not
ready to give up on our dream
wedding yet,” Ezring said
Wednesday.
Whenever wedding planning
stress boils over, Bree ryback, a
day-of wedding coordinator in
Washington, reminds couples
that they can always go to court-
house and get married. A wed-
ding reception is “a party; you can
move parties,” she said, adding
that the District even allows for
self-uniting marriages in which
one partner acts as the officiant.
So even if you and your partner
are self-quarantined, you could
still get married — and celebrate
later.
Adam Sontag and his fiance
are in the process of rescheduling
their April 4 wedding in New
Jersey. T hey don’t h ave a new date
yet, but Sontag reports that theirwedding,” Connolly said. She has
already heard from older rela-
tives in the Seattle area who will
have to cancel and said there’s a
plan to keep people at a safe
distance from her grandfather.
Connolly and her fiance may be
among the last crop of couples
whose nuptials take place before
more widespread changes hit the
United States’ $78 billion wed-
ding industry. While changes are
inevitable, weddings will still
take place — albeit with various
modifications, said Susan Cordo-
gan, founder of the Chicago-
based event planning company
Big City Bride. Cordogan, who has
been in the business for decades,
has steered couples through
events ranging from the Sept. 11,
2001, terrorist attacks to natural
disasters to an incident in 2014 in
which a man started a fire at the
Chicago Air Traffic Control Cen-
ter, crippling the country’s air
traffic system.
“Yes, there’s going to be fear
about it, but there are things you
can do to help the situation at
your particular event,” Cordogan
told The Washington Post. “A nd if
it weren’t a pandemic, it could be
something else. Being flexible
will help, knowing the ultimate
goal is marrying your love.”Keep it local
So far, Cordogan said clients
are not canceling weddings, but
guests lists are shortening — es-
pecially if guests need to hop on a
plane to attend. “If there’s not a
lot of travel involved, the couples
will see little to no impact,” Cor-
dogan said.
Destination weddings should
expect a dramatically reduced
guest list. Weddings in which the
majority of people can avoid a
hotel stay or air travel will have
fewer guest list disruptions, Cor-
dovan said, but there are also
benefits to locally sourcing attire,
food and entertainment.
“We’re hearing a lot of bridal
factories that make wedding
dresses in China are getting de-
layed,” Cordogan said, advising to
plan well in advance or find local
alternatives. To avoid problems
with getting attire from China,
Candy Borales, a wedding planner
in Washington, strongly suggests
buying a dress or suit off the rack.Ask a lot of questions
