Jaclyn Stimac and Mike Robell of Royal Oak gathered COVID vaccination information from 136 guests for their May 8 wedding at Meadow Brook Hall in Rochester and 82 percent of them were vaccinated, according to the father of the bride. Epoch Hospitality Group, which runs the historic events venue, wants flexibility in state public health restrictions to allow for more guests at indoor wedding receptions if the vast majority of attendees are vaccinated.
Liz Ware, vice president of sales and marketing at Mission Point Resort, fields similar calls each day from would-be brides whose plans for a destination wedding on Mackinac Island this summer are in pandemic limbo again.
