Sorry, friends, this isn’t the kind of fun wedding checklists that you are used to. I wanted to share some links from The Governor’s Strike Force to Open Texas for Phase III, revised on June 3, 2020.

The main page with all listings and scenarios can be found here. I will make sure to share more information as we receive it so you can take the appropriate steps during your planning process. With that said, I have pulled out some specific links that apply directly to weddings in the state of Texas are as follows: (All quotes are taken directly from their associated links.)

“A wedding reception held in a restaurant should follow the restaurant protocols. Wedding reception services held at other indoor locations are limited to 50% of the facility’s total listed occupancy. Wedding
receptions held outside are strongly recommended and are not subject to an occupancy limit. Employees and contractors of the wedding reception venue are not counted towards the 50% occupancy limitation.”

Checklist for wedding reception venues

“The following are the minimum recommended health protocols for all wedding reception attendees in Texas. These minimum health protocols are not a limit on the health protocols that individuals may adopt. Individuals are encouraged to adopt additional protocols consistent with their specific needs and circumstances to help protect the health and safety of all Texans.”

Weddings held inside a facility other than a church are limited to 50% of the total listed occupancy of the facility. Employees and contractors of the wedding venue are not counted towards the 50% occupancy limitation.”
