Weddings and civil unions at COVID-19 Alert Level 2
Here is some helpful information on conducting weddings at our current COVID-19 level 2 settings from .
A maximum of 100 people can attend a wedding or civil union ceremony in any indoor or outdoor defined space.
The gathering limits do not include people working at the wedding — for example, servers.
If you are serving food or drinks, provide table service if you can. Try to seat extended household bubbles together at one table. Serve food individually if possible so guests do not have to share utensils or plates.
People working at a wedding or civil union ceremony must wear a face covering and should try to keep a safe distance from the guests. Guests do not have to wear a face covering, but we encourage everyone to wear one.
If you are planning to host a wedding reception or party at a restaurant, pub or other public venue, please follow the establishment’s safety measures.
Your guests can dance, sing or perform at the wedding or civil union service. People should try to keep a safe distance from each other.
Keeping yourself and others safe
Do not attend a wedding or civil union ceremony if you are feeling unwell.
If there are people at the wedding you do not know, make sure you scan the QR code or give your contact details to the organiser. This is to help support contact tracing.
We recommend avoiding physical contact such as harirū, hongi, kissing, and hugging except if you:
- live with them
- are whānau
- are close friends.
Keep up good health behaviours like regular handwashing and coughing or sneezing into your elbow. Your host should provide hand sanitiser around the venue and make sure there is plenty of soap available for everyone to wash their hands.
Try not to share food or drinks.
