Weddings in the time of COVID-19 Pandemic

Like the rest of the world, the event industry has been hit hard with the COVID-19 pandemic shutdowns. While many large scale events in the Aspen area have decided to cancel their 2020 season, fundraisers, galas, and other events, weddings can still be held - just a bit different than originally imagined.

We have had many brides & grooms postpone their weddings to later in the summer season and even to the same date for 2021. Here are a few other ways to cope with COVID-19 wedding plans:

Virtual Weddings

Luckily, Colorado is one of the states that has legalized virtual wedding options and you can obtain your marriage license online! With that, the technology of platforms such as ZOOM can allow your family and friends to still witness your nuptials from a distance, and you can exchange vows in an intimate ceremony with a photographer to capture the moments!

Commitment Ceremonies

If you are in a state that does not have an option for obtaining your marriage license online, you can still exchange vows on your original wedding date (and stream to your friends and family), and then obtain your license once your local counties open for in-person transactions. You can also have a friend or family member be ordained to officiate your wedding, and host a small group of family/friends in an outdoor setting to witness your ceremony. Once larger events and gathering of groups of people are safe to be held, this is when you can host your reception and even do a “vow renewal” in front of your loved ones.
