Colin Cowie, Celebrity Wedding Planner on Planning Your Wedding During the Coronavirus Pandemic


As many non-essential businesses are forced to put their operations on hold, so are many couples seeking to get married. Colin Cowie, a top celebrity wedding planner, gives his advice and answers questions on what we still can do to plan our wedding during this uncertain time.

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to spread across the country, wreaking havoc on millions of people's health and crippling healthcare systems, it's also devastating the economy, putting all non-essential businesses through the wringer and halting the wedding planning industry nearly dead in its tracks. 

"If it was a problem just in America, I'd work with my clients to plan something in Italy or the South of France, but we're all in the same boat right now with no place to go," said Colin Cowie, a notorious celebrity wedding planner. 

According to IBISWorld, the U.S. wedding industry is worth nearly $74 billion, and it seems as if COVID-19 has become the ultimate wedding crasher. 'It's going to take a while for us to get confident again: to travel, socialize and entertain one another. But eventually, we'll get there,' said Cowie. '

Based on conversations he's had with vendors and others in the business, Cowie estimates that 90% of all weddings that were planned over the next three to four months have either been canceled or postponed.

Cowie counts Oprah Winfrey, Tom Cruise, and Jennifer Lopez among some of his star clients. MarketWatch asked their readers to submit questions to Cowie on how soon-to-be newlyweds can continue planning for their wedding during the coronavirus pandemic.
