Israeli weddings follow a slightly different order of events than a classic American wedding.

When you arrive, you will head directly to the rooftop for a cocktail welcome hour. Enjoy drinks, food, and music while enjoying beautiful view of the Mediterranean Sea. Come hungry- there will be plenty of food ahead of the main meal!

Around sunset, there will be a short ceremony under the Chuppah. There will be limited seats for those who need or wish to sit, otherwise, it is customary to stand around the 'aisle'.

After the ceremony, we will head downstairs into the main event hall for more food, drinks, and plenty of dancing!

In Israel, it is part of the culture to have a magnet photographer at the wedding.

In addition to the regular photographers who will be capturing the event, there will be a photographer who will be solely focused on taking photos of friends and family throughout the event that will then be printed on magnets.

Throughout the night, these photos will be printed on magnets and available for you to grab from a stand at the venue. These magnets are great to put on your refrigerator, or any magnetic surface.

We highly recommend flagging down the photographer and taking A TON of photos- that is what they are there for!

After the wedding, these photos will also be available as regular photos through an online album which we will share with all of you!

There are no speeches or traditional choreographed dances at Israeli weddings. Besides a short ceremony, the wedding is all about dancing, food, and drinks with our favorite people.

After Jack breaks the glass (on the first try hopefully!), it is customary to yell 'Mazal Tov'.

The ceremony itself is quite casual, and Israelis like to make some noise so feel free to join in on the yelling, cheering, whistling, etc.
