Going from a initial five person limit then jumping to 20 guests at a wedding, NSW venues are no longer restricted to a set number of attendees but instead one person per four square metres.

The new freedom has seen bookings start to rise at wedding venues across the region as brides and grooms-to-be gain more confidence in their big day being allowed to go forward as planned.

Wedding venue managing director at St Edwards of the Riverina, Sophie Walsh, said they had already seen the effect of easing restrictions start to set in a few weeks ago.

"Bookings are definitely starting to come back in now, quite quickly, which we started to see about three weeks ago," she said.

"There's also an increase in people making inquiries, and I think because Australia overall is doing so well to recover, people are feeling more at ease to book and not be too at risk."

Guests will not be allowed to engage in close proximity activities like on dance floors yet, but the steps towards recovery are boosting morale.

Big Springs Homestead's Lily Wilson said she had begun doing venue tours again as business picks back up.

"We've been able to book in weddings for next year and all of those that couldn't go ahead have been postponed to the end of this year, so it is really exciting to see the potential for that summer season of weddings be more likely to go ahead now in some sort of normal capacity," she said.

"With our size, we will be able to host 100 people per wedding which is comforting to a lot of our clients, but we will be ensuring that all the rules are followed so we can hopefully get back to full capacity soon."

Newly-wed Avalon Hunter was one bride affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, scheduled to have her wedding on April 18.

"We ended up still getting married in April, but have postponed the actual ceremony to November," she said.

"We still want the full shebang and will renew our vows, because I refuse to miss out on getting my hair and makeup done, wearing my proper dress and walking down the aisle."

Mrs Hunter said they were prepared for the change when the pandemic first began, but were still upset having booked 12 months in advance and getting so close to their big day before the shakeup.

"It's quite funny actually, we ended up officially getting married on April Fools Day, and our new date is set for Friday the 13^th of November," she said.

"It isn't an unlucky number for us though, my daughter's birthday is on the 13^th so it's actually a special date."

The Hunter's decision to postpone to November was in hopes of seeing restrictions ease, so the recent news was well received by the couple.

"We decided to hold off to November to make sure we could be as safe as possible to have the numbers we want," she said.

"Its really encouraging and exciting for the venues too after losing all that revenue in what was meant to be their busiest period.

"Hopefully by November, the current restrictions might lift even further, but also, it gives us some form of a buffer in case there is a second wave."
