Wedding Planning During COVID

Posted on by Lucky n Love

Wedding planning during COVID is not what you had in mind when you dreamed of your perfect wedding day. Many couples have had to cancel and/or reschedule their wedding plans during the COVID pandemic. So many factors are at play when deciding what to do. Many states are now requiring a 14-day quarantine for out of state visitors. Venues have to limit seating capacity, and the way food is served is very different now. I know you never envisioned having to deal with the restrictions we are all now subject to. This is why there is an increase in wedding elopements and micro weddings among couples whose plans have been impacted this year.

Couples are choosing to elope, just the two of them. They are choosing a destination that is closer to home, or a destination that is open and currently welcoming visitors with minimal travel restrictions in place. One of the top international destinations couples are choosing is Mexico. Mexico has put safety and health protocols in place to ensure the well being of its visitors and does not require a COVID test prior to travel like some other tropical locations. Many of the resorts in the popular spots, Cancun, Cabo & Puerto Vallarta have already reopened. Couples are choosing to elope so they don’t have to limit the number of people who attend their wedding and will have a big wedding celebration with family and friends when it is safe to do so.

Another option couples are choosing is a micro wedding. Weddings that are much smaller in size, with only family or a few close friends attending. A destination wedding is perfect if you are choosing a micro wedding. Escape to someplace beautiful for a few days to a week, give your guests a much-needed vacation, and honeymoon at the same time. The options of outdoor venues are many; social distancing is easier to maintain and to keep everyone safe.

Wedding planning during COVID is not what any of us could have imagined. My heart goes out to all whose plans and lives have been impacted by this nasty virus.

A Romantic Getaway In Colorado

Located in southwestern Colorado at the foot of the San Juan Mountains, is one of my favorite places. The city of Durango is the perfect year-round destination. A combination of historical sites, natural attractions, and modern-day wonders, Durango is perfect for a romantic getaway in Colorado.

From the Animas River Valley to the peaks of the San Juan Mountains, adventure in Durango is everywhere. Enjoy 300 annual days of sunshine in the place known for ultimate mountain climbing, biking, skiing, fishing, and more. With access to Colorado’s largest wilderness area, Durango is perfect for outdoor romantic adventures.

Add on a few nights in some of Colorado’s other must-see places, we can plan your personalized itinerary to include; Boulder, Vail, Denver, Steamboat Springs, Aspen, Telluride, Breckenridge, Colorado Springs, and Rocky Mountain National Park just to name a few. My top recommended adventure in Durango is to take a ride on an old fashioned steam train from Durango to the old mining town of Silverton, to see amazing scenery along the way.
