This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Decisions about rearranging booked events are a matter for individual venues, not the Government or Parliament, and decisions to pay out under an insurance policy are a matter for individual insurance companies, not the UK Government or Parliament.

You could start a new petition calling on the Government to add all wedding venues to the list of businesses which have been required to close.
