COVID UPDATE for July 2, 2020.

Dear Family and Friends,

During this ever-changing time in our country, what we can & can’t do has been in constant motion. We’ve recently encountered some additional unexpected hiccups & at this time, the governor in Michigan has made some changes due to an increase in COVID-19 cases. Here is an update on numbers and how we are able accommodate people.

The Ceremony

We are capable of having 200 people at the church based on the social distancing guidelines of the Archdiocese of Detroit. Masks are REQUIRED for everyone at the church, throughout the entirety of the ceremony. The church is working very hard & taking every precaution to stay clean. When you enter the church, there are signs indicating safety protocols, social distancing guidelines and sanitizer is provided for all to use. Families will sit every other pew. There are also markers on the floor indicating how to proceed to communion should you choose to participate in the sacrament. We are capable of accommodating everyone who has indicated they are coming to our wedding at the church safely. Everyone is welcome.

The Reception

As of now in regard to our reception, we are only able to accommodate feeding 100 people for an outdoor reception. The venue has put up a tent allowing for 100 people with social distancing based on the guidelines provided by the State of Michigan. Oakland County & venue are working to help us accommodate the rest of our guests in a different tent. We are striving to make that happen and keep everyone safe. Currently a second tent is not guaranteed and if we cannot accommodate all our guests, we will have an additional celebration at a later date. If you would like to volunteer your seat(s) at dinner, please let us know ASAP.

At this time, we know that with the increased cases nationwide, comfort levels are changing. Matt and I, with the support of our parents, would encourage you to make the best decision for your health and wellness. If you no longer feel safe traveling, please let us know. We know that it is last minute, but we have the ability to change numbers until Monday should you choose to change your mind. While it is our hope to share our reception with everyone, we understand the need to put your health and wellness first.

Please know that we are still working hard to accommodate everyone that is coming at our reception. We will communicate again on Monday, July 6th should we need to make further changes.

Should you have a change in heart, please email us at MandKZix@gmail.com
