Numbers attending indoor marriage and civil partnership ceremonies and post-ceremony celebrations will be determined by the venue on the basis of a risk assessment, “taking account of the individual circumstances of each and adhering to all relevant public health advice and industry guidance”.

The proposed changes to the coronavirus restrictions will be confirmed by the Executive on Thursday, 9 July. The press release notes that “couples contacting Registrars and officiants to rearrange their marriages should be aware that there is a backlog of couples waiting but every effort will be made to accommodate everyone as soon as possible”.
