So where do we start?
Planning a Wedding in Israel
There are countless details that go into planning a wedding and we will categorize them into three main stages.
1. Setting the Character of the
The guest list
the first thing is to reckon how many guests you will be inviting to the wedding. This gives us a rough indication of the range of budget needed and how many gifts you can expect to receive.
The budget
Once you have a rough list you can decide on a realistic budget that you would like to work with.
Wedding style
this of course is greatly influenced by the budget but not only. Now is the time to decide if you want a country style or urban, classic or contemporary whichever suits your tastes best.
The Wedding date
Firstly you need to decide which season you prefer. There are pros and cons to each. Summer weddings are very popular as there is a lighter atmosphere and more options to choose from such as outdoors which in winter is not practical. However costs in summer are higher and in Israel the climate in summer is hot which can mean that outdoors without air conditioning is also not an option. A winter wedding can cut costs considerably and can be more enjoyable for those who find the heat unbearable. Jerusalem can get very cold and even snowy in February and March but the coastal and southern regions of Israel generally have milder temperatures. Once you have decided approximately when you would like to fix it we can go to the next stage.
2.
As a wedding producer this stage is where our role takes over. Of course this is with the full participation and co-operation of the Hatan and Kalla and families.
Venue
No doubt the first thing to decide on is the venue. After you've narrowed down which city you prefer, comes the decision if you want it in a Beit Knesset, a hall or a hotel or perhaps at an outdoor venue in a rural village and of course a Hupa on a porch overlooking the Kotel is also a choice with the dinner in a nearby restaurant or hall. Depending on the type of wedding you decided on we will help you choose a suitable venue and then once a date is fixed we continue.
Suppliers
Next is choosing a photographer and videographer, to suit your style and budget. You will also need to decide which type of music you would like; a full band, a one man keyboard player or a DJ, and if you want a singer, and a paytan for the Hupa we will then proceed to book all these, out of our wide repertoire of reliable suppliers. This is also the time to select invitations and to decide which souvenirs you would like to give your guests. The catering service also needs to be chosen and after deciding between the various options of bars, receptions, smorgasbords and dinner menus we will place your order.
Wedding day bookings
We then go on to deciding the character of your wedding day. A studio for the Kalla, a suite for the Hatan, a car or several cars to transport the bridal parties and a hotel suite for the night of the wedding all need to be selected and finally booked. Once these big decisions have been made and dealt with we remain with one last stage.
3. The
