<p>The Government understands the huge significance of weddings. We recognise that
because weddings have not been able to take place in recent months this has caused
difficulty and distress for many people. As set out in the Government’s COVID-19 recovery
strategy, published in May, the Government has been examining how to enable people
to gather in slightly larger groups better to facilitate small weddings. We have worked
closely with faith leaders and local government on how best to achieve this. The Prime
Minister announced on 23 June that wedding and civil partnership ceremonies will be
able to take place in England from 4 July. People should avoid having a large ceremony,
and should invite no more than thirty family and friends. Venues should ensure they
are COVID-19 secure.</p><p> </p>
