Operative words

A Private Event for purposes of this protocol is defined as a meeting, reception, or conference of persons at a location, which generally requires attendees to have an invitation, reservation, ticket, or to be on a guest list to attend and/or a rental or service contract for use of the location, facility or venue. In the Blueprint's Yellow Tier, facilities that host or hold private events may provide event space with the following occupancy limits: Outdoor private events are limited to a maximum of 200 people or a maximum of 400 people if all guests tested negative for COVID-19 or show proof of full vaccination against COVID-19. Indoor private events are permitted only if all guests tested negative for COVID-19 or show proof of full vaccination against COVID-19. Indoor events are limited to a maximum of 200 people.... All private events that are permitted pursuant to this protocol... must have purchased tickets or a defined guest list, a system for checking guests' tickets or registration..., and seating charts or assigned seating. No intermingling of multiple private events is permitted.

Enforcement

Misdemeanor under Cal. Health & Safety Code s. 120295 and L.A. County Code s. 11.02.080 (recited in the parent orders)

Notes

The County's own recital: 'As of April 15, 2021, the State's Blueprint for a Safer Economy allows facility operators to reopen to hold or host Private Events' - the first date on which an indoor wedding reception was lawful in Los Angeles County since Mar. 19, 2020, and then only with every guest tested or vaccinated.
