Photo by Michael Yearout / Michael Yearout Photography Weddings and events were heavily restricted throughout the pandemic, putting the life milestones of many on pause. Now, celebrations are back with a bang. Patti Welch, co-owner of Food Hedz Catering in Frisco, saw this firsthand. Welch said the size of some weddings on the books last year were significantly reduced. Guest lists of 100 to 150 people were reduced to small groups of only close family and friends. In all, Food Hedz Catering had about 20 couples cancel or postpone their weddings amid pandemic restrictions. This wedding season paints a very different picture. Welch said couples and event planners are ready to host big celebrations once again.
