<p>The Government is working closely with stakeholders in the wedding industry, the
Places of Worship Taskforce, and the National Panel for Registration to keep our COVID-19
secure marriages and civil partnerships policies and guidance under review.</p><p>From
15 August 2020 receptions and other celebrations for weddings and civil partnerships
can take place in a COVID-19 secure venue, however, this does not apply in areas under
local restrictions. Capacity at wedding or civil partnership ceremonies (including
the couple, guests, and third-party suppliers, but not venue staff or third-party
catering staff) should be no more than 30 and safely accommodated with social distancing
in a COVID-19 secure venue. We will reassess guidance in relation to larger wedding
receptions in line with the development of the scientific advice. Further guidance
on wedding and civil partnership ceremonies and receptions can be found <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/covid-19-guidance-for-small-marriages-and-civil-partnerships/covid-19-guidance-for-small-marriages-and-civil-partnerships"
