The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
The Government's current guidance on weddings and receptions states that face coverings should form part of the mitigations in a wedding's risk assessment but does not require that these be worn:

Deciding whether to require face coverings as part of any booking is therefore a matter for individual venues.
