The wedding industry counts losses.

Most of the weddings have been postponed until next year and some have been cancelled.

The value of the wedding market in Poland exceeds PLN 7 billion per year (about 190,000 marriages are concluded annually). 

For a large group of people who live from the services offered at weddings this is a very bad situation. A lot of them are companies from SME sector.

These people decided to act - the Association of the Wedding Industry was established in order to work out common solutions and possibilities to survive in these difficult times. There was also a petition to the Prime Minister of Poland signed by engaged couples and people from the industry to issue a communication with the answer to the question: At what level of epidemic factors and under what other organisational conditions will it be possible to organise, in the coming weeks in Poland, a wedding for 100, 120, 150, 200 and more people?

Currently, after the loosening of restrictions in Poland people can organize a wedding for 50 people.
