>>> People in the wedding industry are sharing how some of the newest trends are impacting their bookings for the summer. There is a boom in 2022 due to many pandemic related wedding postponements. Planners and venues we spoke to say numbers for this year remain behind the pace experience inned 2022. The current trend seems to be smaller weddings less than 100 guests. This wedding planner says money is a factor for many couples preparing to tie the knot. >> I feel like the big weddings big meaning more than 150 weddings may be are a thing of the past now. I feel more couples want more personal, more intimate, more focused on the family, more elopement style weddings. You know in my opinion that's one thing that I think will continue. >> Gabrielle: the catering director at winnipeg's green wood ball ram says 50 weddings in the year was the goal which was the typically what they would see. But just 20 are on the books this year with already the same amount penciled in for next. She says they have lots on the go and they are only anticipating more. >> Brides are getting more comfortable booking a little bit further out. I would say for sure after the pandemic. Bookings would come in quicker. Less turn around time just out of fear that may be something might come back. I think everyone is just kind of getting back into booking and feeling comfortable to book you know for future dates. >> Gabrielle: here's one for the parents at home.

Starting the morning of june 4th residents can sign up online over the phone or at city run pools. Non-residents will be able to sign up starting june 6th.
