CITYNEWS TIME TO GET WED Small marriages and civil partnerships can now take place for up to 30 people, where this can be safely accommodated with social distancing in a Covid-19 secure venue. Government guidelines stipulate that post-wedding ceremony celebrations should only take place in groups of up to two households indoors, or up to six people from different households outdoors. With these restrictions in place and many restaurants remaining closed, couples are struggling to find a way to
celebrate following their ceremony. Heritage Park Weddings are offering couples a post-wedding picnic in a private area within Parade Gardens, The Botanical Gardens or Royal Victoria Park, so couples can celebrate with a glass of prosecco with a small group following the guidance above and with outdoor space to social distance. Fiona and Mike recently got married in the Guildhall and then enjoyed a picnic in Parade Gardens on the bandstand with one other household and enjoyed scones, cake and sandwiches. heritageparkweddings.co.uk Photo by Freya Steele Photography
