From the moment Edmonton couple Steve Gross and Courtney Killips got engaged they had their sights set on the Rocky Mountains in B.C.
They booked their July 4, 2020 wedding at Cherry Creek Estates. They invited 120 guests. But the COVID-19 pandemic changed everything. “It’s so emotional, we don’t know what to tell everybody,” Killips said. “We are at standstill.” Their nuptials are now in limbo because they said the venue isn’t allowing them to postpone, essentially forcing them to get married on the set date with restrictions.
Cherry Creek sent a letter to the couple stating, “We cannot offer available dates in 2021 for couples wishing to postpone their wedding.” There are also guest number limitations.
