Mike DeWine has extended the stay-at-home order through May 29, which means gatherings are still limited to less than 10 people, and many businesses are still closed to the public.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt; font-family: karla;\">While the state is beginning to slowly reopen, there are and will continue to be many restrictions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt; font-family: karla;\">But this hasn\u2019t stopped couples from getting married. Those who still want to wed during this time have found creative and innovative ways to do so.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt; font-family: karla;\">We at Sound Precision Entertainment are here to meet your wedding needs while adhering to all local, state and federal guidelines. For those getting married during the month of May and beyond, we offer these helpful tips:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: karla;\"><b>Set up video conferencing appointments with your vendors.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Platforms like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/zoom.us\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zoom<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.skype.com\/en\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Skype<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> allow for meetings with multiple attendees. Both you and your vendors can plan from the safety of your homes with this technology. During your appointment, don\u2019t be shy about asking your vendors how they plan to adhere to social distancing and sanitation requirements on your big day. An ideal vendor should be able to walk you through its protocol without missing a beat.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: karla;\"><b>Plan to adhere to social distancing rules<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Under the stay-at-home order, you may not have a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">public or private gathering of more than 10 people outside a single household. It may be tough to slash your guest list, but you can ensure everyone can attend your wedding while still sticking to a limited in-person guest count by livestreaming the event. SPE, for example, is offering HD-quality livestreaming for Facebook or YouTube to ensure your friends and family don\u2019t miss a moment.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>You also want to ensure groups stay 6 feet apart, like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cleveland.com\/entertainment\/2020\/04\/lakewood-couple-sticks-to-social-distancing-rules-with-memorable-front-porch-wedding.html\">this Lakewood couple<\/a>, who married on their front porch. They utilized neighbors\u2019 lawns to follow social distancing requirements and even received a visit from local police, who OK\u2019d the gathering.\u00a0Another safe way to include friends and family in your big day is to allow them to remain in their vehicles. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.insider.com\/utah-drive-in-wedding-social-distance-2020-4\">One Utah couple<\/a> got married in a local field and broadcast the wedding over the radio drive-in style. Guests remained in their vehicles and could listen to the ceremony through their radios.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: karla;\"><b>Provide Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to attendees.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> To protect both yourself and your guests, provide PPE like masks, gloves and hand sanitizer. You can get creative by making masks in your bridal colors or creating personalized sanitizer bottles as favors!\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt; font-family: karla;\">We realize the social distancing landscape is ever-changing and are committed to working with you to make your wedding a success.
