An events manager at a wedding venue in Co Louth has said business in the wedding industry here is being negatively impacted due to the difference in public health guidelines on either side of the border.
This meant that plans for indoor gatherings of 100 people were put on hold and the current health measures, which included indoor gatherings of just 50 people, would remain in place until 10 August. "We have quite a big banquet hall here and we should be able to seat 150 comfortably to include social distancing. We can only seat 50 people including our staff."
Last Thursday, Ayla and Gary Donnelly exchanged vows in front of 80 guests in the Church of the Immaculate Conception in Tullysaran in Co Armagh.Due to the public health guidelines around 35 of their guests could not attend their wedding reception and Gary said knocking guests off the list was an unpleasant experience.
"They were able to socially distance people very well, but Darver Castle is a very big venue and without a shadow of a doubt they could have accommodated 80 [people] no problem at all, insuring social distancing as well. So, I think it should really depend on the venue more-so [than] one rule for everybody."
