The first Bank Holiday in May traditionally marks the start of #wedding season in the UK. I’ll be on @BBCNews shortly for @UKweddingsOrg to discuss the start of our busiest season to date as we cope with the pandemic backlog.

The #WeddingsTaskforce Spokesperson @SarahHaywood on @SkyNews this evening…

[SarahHaywoodWeddings @SarahHaywood]

What’s the plan? Here we are again 21 months on with the @UKweddingsOrg Taskforce having to ask for clarity for wedding businesses…

[SarahHaywoodWeddings @SarahHaywood]

The lockdown day the “work gathering” occurred 750 couples cancelled their weddings. That w/end it was 3400. That month 23,000. This Christmas week our exhausted, demoralised and fearful sector is spending it’s time trying to pacify distraught couples. Enough. ##WeddingsTaskforce

The Wedding Guidelines for England have been updated. There is nothing to be too alarmed about… The UK #WeddingsTaskforce will be live on our Instagram at 4:30pm to talk you through it.

Honeymoons affected by travel restrictions is the latest let down for many couples - with some already on a third or more try. As for inbound and outbound destination weddings - well you can imagine the impact and dent in consumer confidence the travel restrictions have brought.

The #WeddingsTaskforce Spokesperson @SarahHaywood on @SkyNews with @KayBurley this morning reassuring businesses and couples. See the full interview over on our Instagram https://t.co/LYrXdYr93e

[SarahHaywoodWeddings @SarahHaywood]

Starting the week on @SkyNews @KayBurley for @UKweddingsOrg discussing if Omicron caution’s impacting weddings. Not so far: sector working full tilt for 5 months produced no data suggesting #weddings more risky than other gatherings. Rather they occur in controlled environments.

[Scottish Wedding Industry Alliance @ScotWedAlliance]

We are so upset to see the constant disparity and disregard for our industry with a view on face masks.
@_KateForbes you were part of this meeting yesterday!
Why is this allowed but masks still required at wedding ceremonies!
On the biggest day of couples lives?#scottishweddings

Big weddings are back (and some)!

[SarahHaywoodWeddings @SarahHaywood]

“So much for the new trend for low-key pandemic weddings.” says the @Telegraph referring to the wedding we produced this weekend. It was never a trend it was a restriction. Big weddings are back and so are we. https://t.co/OlKL6ApMPQ

[UKweddings.org @UKweddingsOrg]

We will continue the work as our Spokesperson states. We look forward to constructive engagement with @GOVUK Ministers @paulscullymp and @PennyMordaunt as we start to rebuild our world-class weddings sector. We know the road ahead will be bumpy and we still face challenges.

[SarahHaywoodWeddings @SarahHaywood]

Just to be clear, I will remain committed to the @UKweddingsOrg #WeddingsTaskforce until the entire UK #weddings sector is reopened without restrictions. Our work is not complete: nearly 20% of weddings happen in Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland #parity #WeddingsAPPG
