The newlyweds made many changes to their planned celebration in light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, canceling the planned live band and forgoing a dance floor. Zebisch told PEOPLE ahead of the ceremony that they had required each of their guests to take a PCR test and receive a negative result before attending. They also had in-vehicle temperature and wellness checks as guests arrived.
During the ceremony, chairs were spaced eight feet apart and in groups no larger than six, as were cocktail tables and dining tables at the reception. The couple also asked guests to wear masks when not eating or drinking.

At the end of the night, guests picked up a parting gift of sweet pepper relish from the couple’s own foodie venture,KITSCHIEN. “James and I launched this food brand at the start of the year,” Zebisch tells PEOPLE. (It’s pronounced like kitchen, a play on the groom’s last name, Schienle.)
