Read MoreGabriella Grace, who makes wedding cakes, says a further delay to lockdown easing is heartbreaking for her business.
Based in Redcar, Ms Grace was on track to make 53 wedding cakes last year but only made three.
She had just given up a part-time job to start her business when the first lockdown happened and says she has lost about £37,000 of income since then because of the pandemic.
If the lifting of restrictions is pushed back, the UK Weddings Taskforce - an industry group - estimates that 50,000 weddings planned in the four weeks from 21 June could be cancelled, with the industry losing £325m for every week of delay.
With couples likely having to re-arrange their wedding dates, Ms Grace said she was now struggling to fit in future bookings: "I don't have the luxury of postponing and postponing again because there's only one of me, and I may have a booking for the new date," she said.
"One of my couples has postponed four times, so in normal times that could've been four lots of income but it's only one."
With lockdown easing likely to be delayed for a further four weeks, a North East wedding photographer says it is going to have a huge effect on his business.
Currently the number of guests allowed at weddings is limited to 30.
Sean Elliott says it will mean couples are likely to delay their plans again.
He said: "It's going to have a huge effect on all my bookings, certainly for the next month, and will make everyone feel uneasy for the rest of the summer."
If the lifting of restrictions is pushed back, the UK Weddings Taskforce - an industry group - estimates that 50,000 weddings planned in the four weeks from 21 June could be cancelled, with the industry losing £325m for every week of delay.
Mr Elliott said it was stressful for couples having to re-schedule: "I've got a couple next week who are going to Gretna Green just to get married, I can understand why people are reaching the point where they're thinking, 'why should we put ourselves through the stress of planning a big wedding?'"
A Newcastle nightclub manager says he will do "whatever we have to, to make it safe to reopen", as it looks like lockdown restrictions are set to stay in place a while longer for some sections of the hospitality industry.
Government sources have told the BBC most coronavirus rules will remain in place in England for another four weeks, a delay to the planned 21 June unlocking.
It would likely mean nightclubs would remain closed.
Tom Caulker, who runs World Headquarters nightclub, said: "The last thing we want to do is reopen and anyone gets sick from coming to the club, that's not what we want.
"We want a proper recovery, not a false dawn where we have to close again - we want to be on the other side of this thing, it's been a long, hard road."
