及时和酒店宴会负责人联系确认。在确定好备选 marriage date 后，与酒店联系，对话第一时间询问酒店是否也有合适档期，并确认需不需要选择更换或改变 hotel .
Wedding planner and vendors availability confirmation
在确定了 wedding plan 和 venue 之后，与你的 wedding planner 和主要供应商（司仪、摄影师等）紧密沟通确认当天既定的 wedding people 是否有合适档位，以确保尽量在最短时间内锁定团队。

How to prepare for a wedding during the pandemic
Don't panic! Don't give up!
Even though there is a sudden outbreak of COVID-19, we still need to well prepare for our weddings, as they will eventually take place and we don't want to rush or feel anxious when the time comes.
If your wedding date is before October this year:
Follow the above strategies for adjusting dates; besides adjusting dates, remember to adjust your mindset too.
Stay calm and solve each problem step by step, so that you can have an anticipated beautiful ceremony.
If your wedding date is in November or December this year:
Believe that COVID-19 will gradually improve.
But it's always better to have a Plan B ready; in these two months, communicate with hotels and vendors about several available dates for possible adjustments.
If worried about potential lockdowns or other issues affecting travel plans:
Consider having a destination or online-only ceremony instead of canceling completely.
If your planned wedding date is next year:
Especially if it falls on Chinese New Year (Spring Festival) or Labor Day (May First), make sure all details are prepared ahead of time: venues, planners, photographers etc., just like any other event!
For those who worry about rescheduling due to unforeseen circumstances:
+ Have alternative dates ready with different venues/vendors;
+ Or consider having an intimate home-based celebration while waiting until conditions allow bigger gatherings.
+ Online ceremonies can also be considered as they become more popular now-a-days!
