must not make up more than 20% of the overall attendees. This applies to marriage solemnizations with more than 50 attendees or wedding receptions

|
| |

please submit your attendee list to your Licensed Solemnizer at least one day before your solemnization.
The attendee list must also be made available on site for both wedding solemnization and receptions:
|
|
|
|
The bride and groom must use either face masks or face shields throughout the solemnization ceremony.
They may remove their masks or face shields for key moments of the solemnization, which includes the exchanging of vows and rings,
kiss between the couple, and during march-ins/outs. However, the bride and groom must maintain a 2 metres distance from the rest of
the attendees of the solemnization whenever masks or face shields have been removed. All other attendees must wear their masks throughout the solemnization.
Masks may be removed momentarily for photo-taking and must be worn immediately after photos are taken.
|
| |
|
Up to 10 individuals are allowed to unmask when engaged in public speaking for solemnizations in external venues
(i.e. in venues excluding place of residence and the ROM/M building), as well as for wedding receptions,
while maintaining a distance of at least 2 meters from the audience. The unmasked individuals must maintain a distance of at least 1 meter from each other
unless the individuals are members of the wedding party.
