Governor Andrew Cuomo announced some new guidelines this Friday morning, that weddings can be held at 50% capacity up to 150 people and the event must be approved by the local health departments. The new rollback is because the post-holiday surge of cases is continuing to decline.

As data on infection rates and hospitalizations continue to improve, we must start taking steps to jumpstart our economic recovery as long as public health can be protected.

said, Governor Andrew Cuomo, according to WGRZ

According to WGRZ, as of Friday, the statewide positivity rate was at 4.65%, which is the lowest since December 11 of last year. This is great news not only for brides and grooms but for many vendors as well. Photographers, DJ's and food vendors have been struggling as well during these tough times that everyone is facing. I have had plenty of cancellations or postponements due to the COVID-19 restrictions, so it will be good to see some form of normalcy.
