#WhatAboutWeddings
We understand and we’re feeling frustrated too! All of the people involved in putting this website together work in the wedding sector and are looking forward to getting back to doing what they love, whatever that may look like.
We know there has been some progress with the government guidelines, but it seems that despite weddings being a £14.7b sector, it’s a sector that hasn’t had as much support as others.
That’s why the #WhatAboutWeddings campaign was created to lobby government and highlight the critical need of the wedding sector for clarity, parity and choice. The campaign also sets out to shine a spotlight on issues that wedding suppliers, venues and couples are experiencing as a result of the pandemic.
