Dancing returns to Chicago Weddings

Dancing has returned to Chicago! I am so excited to share this news! See the announcement here from the City of Chicago! Dance on!!! Everybody Cut Footloose! Also, currently we are in the Bridge Phase which means you can have 250 guests inside and 500 outside and vaccinated individuals do no count towards capacity limits.

Dance Floors

  • Dance floors can reopen at private social events such as weddings, with fully vaccinated individuals allowed to dance without face coverings and without physical distancing.

  • Unvaccinated individuals should continue to wear masks and maintain physical distancing while dancing.

  • Venues are required to verify that guests that are dancing without face coverings and without physical distancing are fully vaccinated, and guests should be prepared to show proof of vaccination that matches the information tracked by the venue.



Earlier today, following guidance from the CDC and the State of Illinois, and recognizing how safe and effective the COVID vaccine is, the City of Chicago announced that it will no longer require masks for fully vaccinated people in most settings, including businesses. In alignment with federal and state guidelines, masks will still be required, regardless of vaccination status, in health care settings, schools, correctional/congregate settings and on public transportation.

As a reminder, fully vaccinated means two weeks after your second vaccine dose if you got the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine, or two weeks after your single dose if you got the Johnson and Johnson vaccine. If you are not fully vaccinated, you need to continue to wear your mask in all indoor settings.

Businesses are strongly encouraged to verify vaccination status before allowing customers and/or employees to not wear face coverings.
