Getting married? Congratulations! If you are considering celebrating your wedding in Israel, you have so many fabulous and unique wedding venues to choose from.

During the warmer months, outdoor venues are extremely popular. Neot Kedumim has a special wedding trail and plenty of space for dining and dancing under the stars. Shulchan David on Mount Zion in the Old City is a very popular venue. The Simcha Hall located just above the Kotel Plaza has a balcony overlooking the Kotel/Temple Mount that is a unique and beautiful site for a chuppah, though it is only suitable for a small wedding. The Mount Zion Hotel offers spectacular views and is a beautiful venue for a wedding, especially during summer months when you can have the chuppah in their beautiful garden. Terasa, located in the Begin Center, has a gorgeous balcony facing the walls of the Old City and is a great location for an upscale, beautiful wedding. The Blaustein Pavilion at Beit Shmuel is also an extremely popular wedding venue; the floor to ceiling plate glass windows allow beautiful Old City views, the hall is elegant, and the food is fabulous. If your tastes run toward sparkly, jeweled, and floral a la Michal Negrin, Gilmor Productions can arrange the wedding of your dreams. Regardless of what type of venue you choose, consider hiring a professional decorator to help you design a one-of-a-kind event.

Why not light up the sky with red heart-shaped lighting balloons and a fireworks display? And you will definitely need a musician.  If you are looking for a different sound, how about a Dixieland Jazz band or some Irish music?  Of course you’ll want a photographer and videographer to capture your most special moments on tape for posterity. If your guests can't make it from overseas, why not arrange a live internet broadcast so that they can share the simcha with you from wherever they may be?
  
If you are looking for a beautiful, unique ketubah, consider an intricate paper cut design or one that resembles a work of art.  You are probably also looking for a creative florist to decorate your chuppah and design your bridal bouquet and table arrangements. How about bottles of boutique wine with custom printed wedding labels?

And don't forget the smaller details--sometimes, little party decor touches can make a big difference. For unusual and delicious place cards, you can order chocolate roses. Don’t forget to order Birkonim or other custom printed favors. Consider an instant photo booth for added fun and a great momento for your guests to take home with them. 

If you are looking for accommodations for your guests, take a look at our “places to stay” section for family-oriented guest house and hotel suggestions, or use one of our highly recommended tour operators to give you a helping hand with booking your hotel accommodations.  And don’t forget to order gift baskets for your guests’ rooms so that they have something to munch on at 3 a.m. when the jetlag hits.
