We are responding to Bojo’s announcement on Monday we have a roadmap are we any better off let's chat.
Starting off let’s look at the positives we have a map and a structure to work with.
- This looks like a sound plan it’s cautious and padding is built-in for change.
- The staged approach to re-opening with the ability to pause a stage while the vaccines are being rolled out offering protection seems like a good solid plan.
- The stopping of homeschooling
- The return of the rule of 6 coming down
But now let’s look at where weddings fit into this roadmap a roadmap I feel the wedding industry has been the loudest in asking for it.
I want an explanation to HOW the gov came to their decisions because allowing a venue to go to 50% capacity or 4000 whichever is fewer for an event but only allowing weddings of 30 doesn’t make sense to me.
Here‘s why let’s say a venue has a 300 capacity and does weddings this venue can run an event with 150 in attendance people tend to go to events with their partner and or their friends you could have more than 75 households at this event. However, you couldn’t have a wedding for 150 where you would have less than 75 households because people go to weddings as a family.
So again I ask WHY are weddings excluded from event numbers weddings are events.
On the topic of being events, this to me is the more important point. Weddings are LIFE events they are moments that are special to us and are emotional, they are like the birth of a baby getting engaged moving to a new home these are milestone moments in our lives and are important for the whole family.
A concert is not a life event years of planning for the person attending doesn’t happen they buy their tickets and it's done a month before they might look to see what they will wear but a wedding has 2 whole families invested for years and also has their closet friends involved. These rese=tirctions don’t just disappoint vendors and couples it upsets WHOLE FAMILIES. It is in my mine totally unfair the separation between weddings and other events and I would like to have it explained to me because I feel I must be missing something.
So that my lovelies my feelings, in brief, I’ve not yet sat and read the whole document perhaps there is more explanation inside it though given the feelings of others in the industry I fear there isn’t.
But with all this being said we have to look at what we can control we can’t change what Bojo has said but we can ch

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
