Level Two Weddings ~ getting married in NZ

​Well done NZ! It is excellent news we are finally able to reach level two in NZ. This means that you can marry your sweetheart with up to 98 friends and family around you. 
 
I have already married couples at level three so I am very conscious of the rules and regulations that need to be maintained so can guide you with what is needed for your ceremony. 

Weddings at Level Two ~ Government Conditions
Currently you can attend gatherings of no more than 10 people provided public health measures (see conditions below) can be maintained.

• You can have friends and family over to your home, but play it safe — keep surfaces clean, wash your hands, and keep the numbers low so you can practise safe distancing.

 

• All gatherings outside of the home (indoors and outdoors) can have no more than 10 attendees, excluding staff like waiters. Indoor gatherings should be seated if possible, and should be approximately two hours long.

 

• Food and drink consumption is fine at gatherings, so you can have food at wedding receptions It should be prepared carefully and served individually, for example, not from a buffet.

​Additional conditions on gatherings:
• Physical distancing and infection prevention and control requirements must be met
• All gatherings should record attendees to ensure contact tracing can be conducted if necessary
• Hospitality guidelines regarding alcohol consumption need to be strictly adhered to
• You can't participate in any gatherings or events if you have Covid-19 symptoms or if you need to be in isolation/quarantine for any reason

How this will affect your wedding?
It is important to be mindful of your ceremonial set up and your venue conditions. I have already published top tips of how to plan your wedding  here. When you connect with all your vendors they will have their own guidelines for their trade. Eg: your hairdresser and make-up artist will be in full PPE! 
 
Once you know the numbers you are allowed in your venue you can get planning.   Remember to include your celebrant, photographer, videographer, and venue team in your numbers. 
 
Let’s have a no obligation chat and discuss your wedding day even if you haven't set your date. I have FOUR different options and packages so we can create a wedding ceremony that will be just perfect for you.
