Wedding and Coronavirus | 婚礼和冠状病毒／武汉肺炎

We can never predict what will happen tomorrow. Remember last year, most of the wedding professionals looking forward to 2020 which was predicted a better year for the wedding industry. We did get a raise in booking at the end of 2019 and beginning of 2020 until the news of Coronavirus kicked in.



It has already affected most of our overseas shoots in coming 2 months. A lot of changes being made. Some couples said their number of guests dropped last minute, etc.



It is always a blessing to be able to get married. It could be a test for the couples planning to get married, however, we believe your marriage can overcome lots of difficulties if you can get married in a time like this.



So, what we suggest our couples and all the couples who are planning to get married soon:



1. Double check with the registration office and venues, if they have any policy in place in case of outbreak in their buildings. Has the maximum capacity changed? Is there any arrangement for postponing the wedding date? If they cannot rearrange, any refund will be given?

2. Have you bought wedding insurance or travel insurance? Double check if they cover the loss due to Coronavirus outbreak.

3. Check flights and accommodations if you are due to have destination wedding and/ or honeymoon. Are flights reduced? Is the country you are heading to is one of the country on the highly affected list? Is there any admin fee if you need to cancel or change the dates for the flights and hotels? Once you find it out and make decision whether your wedding is going ahead or not, inform your guests who are supposed to go to your wedding asap. There is a risk the country you are going to will require you to be quarantined for 14 days. There is also another risk that once you go back to your country, you may be required either self-isolation or quarantine.

4. Suggest the guests not to attend your wedding if they are sick. It is hard, but there are lots of 'invisible' virus carriers, we never know if any of them could become a risk for the rest of wedding guests. There were cases overseas that the whole family get infected in family gathering. Invite them to watch online streaming (See if your photographer/ videographer can provide this. We are happy to help, feel free to contact us). You can also request videographer to do instant edit, so your guests who cannot attend would not feel they have missed out a lot.


婚礼和冠状病毒／武汉肺炎



我们永远无法预测明天会发生什么。记得去年，大多数婚嫁业人士都对2020年充满期待，因2020年且婚礼。我们确实在2019年底和2020年初多了预订，直到冠状病毒的消息传开为止。



两个月中，它已经影响了我们大部分的海外拍摄。很多更改行程。一些爱侣说，他们的宾客人数在下降了，等等。能够结婚总是一种幸福。对于打算结婚的爱侣来说，这可能是一个考验，我们相信，如果您能在这样的时候结婚，那么您的婚姻将克服许多困难。



因此，我们有以下建议给我们的客人以及所有计划很快结婚的爱侣：



1.请仔细检查登记处和场地建筑物有任何政策针对病毒爆发。来宾人数限制是否已更改？推迟结婚日期有什么安排吗？如果他们不能重新安排，会退款吗？

2.您有否购买了婚礼保险或旅游保险？仔细查看它们是否弥补了冠状病毒爆发造成的损失。

3.到婚礼目的地和/或度蜜月前，请检查航班和住宿。航班减少了吗？您要前往的国家/地区是否是受影响最严重的国家之一？如果您需要取消或更改航班和酒店的日期，需要支付任何行政费吗？知道了便决定婚礼是否进行，並应尽快通知参加婚礼的宾客。您要前往的国家/地区存在被隔离14天的风险吗？还有另一种风险，就是一旦您回到自己的国家/地区，可能会要求您进行自我隔离。

4.建议宾客生病时不要参加婚礼。真的很难，但是有很多“隐形”病毒携带者，我们不知道它们中的任何一个是否可能对其余婚礼宾客构成威胁。有整个家庭在家庭聚会中被感染的案例。邀请他们观看在线上广播（请查看您的摄影师/摄录师是否可以提供此功能。我们很乐意为您提供帮助，请随时与我们联系）。您还可以要求摄录师进行即时编辑，因此无法参加会议的来宾不会觉得自己错过了很多。

5.检查您与所有供应商签订的合同上的政策。如果其中一名成员生病怎么办？您还会获得服务吗？

6.确保遵守政府宣布的减少感染风险的指导方针：经常洗手。必要时使用消毒液。避免触摸您的脸。咳嗽和打喷嚏时请使用卫生纸。请戴上口罩，以免影响他人，并在免疫系统低下时保护自己免受其他细菌的感染。



我们希望您安全健康。希望我们的小点子能对您有所帮助。我们希望您的婚礼顺利进行，生活愉快。
