Put weddings back up to 30!

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Put the attendance at weddings back up to 30!
With the new restrictions in place; table service only, closing at 10pm, there is no reason why wedding meals can’t go ahead safely with 30 people!
Many couples had spent many months / years planning their special day before Covid hit. Many were distraught at having to cancel / postpone. We have just about got our head around being able to wed with just 30 people in attendance and to have that slashed in half in a heartbeat is just utterly heartbreaking for all!

New restrictions include having table service only, closing at 10pm meaning that wedding meals could safely go ahead with 30 (or even more in venue capacity permits!)
