NEW JEWISH WEDDING THREAD

Hi girls,

I just had my Jewish wedding at Oceanside Jewish Center. You can check out my pics. I also just started working as a wedding coordinator, so FYI- if anyone's needs help planning your wedding, you can find me under coordinator as Stress-Free Bride NY or just FM me.

I have up a pic from Temple Beth-EL. I helped some good friends plan their wedding there.

Hey Ladies

I am Jewish, but I am having my ceremony at my Hall.

Hey girls!
I don't think a temple thread has been done, but there is definitely a Jewish brides thread for us!
We're getting married at our hall - because my synagogue is in Manhattan - but my rabbi will be officiating, and we will be having a traditional ceremony.

I'll bump the original threads...

I had a Temple Wedding too.
I am also a Cantor.

feel free to FM if you have any questions.

I'm getting married 7/1 at Woodbury Jewish Center-I agree we need a temple thread!

My parents just went to a wedding there and they were really impressed. Of course my mother then started second guessing the temple I'm getting married at....typical thing for her to do! Morrell Caterers have amazing food....a friend of mine got married at Temple Beth Torah in Dix Hills and the food there was by the same caterers and it was delicious. Usually it's very difficult to find good temple wedding food because it's almost always kosher, so they're limited as to what they can cook with.

I'm getting married at Temple Beth El too

Congratulations girls!! I'm not Jewish but FMIL so we may be incorporating Jewish traditions in our wedding. This is a great idea for a thread!! What are some Jewish traditions that you girls are doing?

I was raised 'conservadox' and my FI is reform so we will be incorporting more traditional elements and blending them into a more modern ceremony. In addition to having the chuppah and breaking the glass, I will be having a bedeken in private (when the groom 'checks' to make sure its the right bride and places the veil over the bride's face-goes back to Jacob, Leah and Rachel). We also want our close friends and family to read the 7 blessings insead of having the Rabbi say them all and I am thinking about circling, but havnt made up my mind yet.

I think it depends on the caterer, kosher or non-kosher. Ive had very bad non-kosher food at weddings and amazing kosher food at weddings

I have never been to a wedding there, but we went for a tasting and it was soooo good! I really think its not kosher vs kosher, but the quality and attention to detail that matters!

Hey Ladies

I am Jewish, but I am having my ceremony at my Hall.

same here

I am Jewish. FH isn't. So our ceremony and wedding will be at our hall.

I've been to a wedding at Woodbury Jewish Center, the food was delicous. Seriously, the cocktail hour food was the best food I've ever eaten at any wedding EVER.
