Sanitizing The Venue
The Big Fake Wedding and venue staff commit to sanitizing high-touch areas in both front-of-house and back-of-house during vendor set up and the live event. We will reference the sanitization checklist during the event. This list will be tailored to each individual venue we visit.
- Cabinet Handles

- Door Handles and Railings
- Elevator Buttons
- Light Switches
- Sink Handles
- Soap Dispensers
Spatial Flow
- The venue may be outfitted with social distancing line markers for food, beverage, restroom and registration lines.
- Ceremony seating will be spaced according to social distancing guidelines and grouped together for parties of two and four.
- Reception table chairs will be present for design purposes, but we encourage parties to sit socially distanced from other parties.
- Food and beverage stations will be served by a caterer with gloves.
- One-way foot traffic markers will be present where applicable.
A Note About Social Distancing
The goal of maintaining six feet (two meters) between people would become a distant secondary consideration if there is a clear and imminent danger requiring an emergency evacuation. Even during this pandemic, emergency egress plans should reflect that moving guests away from the most urgent hazard is the first order of business.
Additionally, the socially distanced objects are meant to combat prolonged exposure to another person who may have been in contact with the virus. For example, during the ceremony and reception, guests should acknowledge that milling about and navigating some aspects of the event will not be monitored or controlled. Guests will need to acknowledge that this is The Big Fake Wedding’s best attempt to create a safe and healthy environment for all, but they are attending at their own risk.
