Local catering venues are gearing up for larger parties starting Monday.
Last month, Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced new guidance for weddings and catered events:
- Venues are restricted to 50 capacity, with no more than 150 people per event.
- All patrons must be tested prior to the event.
- Sign-in with contact information required to assist with potential contact tracing.
- Venues must notify local health departments of large events, above the social gathering limit, in advance.
- Masks will be required at all times except when seated and eating or drinking.
- Ceremonial and socially-distanced dancing allowed under strict guidelines.
News 12 spoke with the owners of Villa Barone Hilltop Manor in Mahopac to see how they are preparing.
