A Jewish Wedding

This was an interfaith wedding as the groom comes from a Jewish background, while the bride is from a Christian home. Hence, it was a lovely mixture of traditions.

The couple at this wedding chose to only include a few customs from the Jewish tradition.
The bride and groom chose to have kiddush and sipped from the kiddush cup while I recited the blessing. 

At this wedding ceremony, the bride and groom, of course, had their preferences and how they wanted the whole ceremony to flow.  So the bride’s dad walked her down the aisle while the groom and I waited under the chuppah. The Chuppa was beautifully decorated with flowers.

“Shalom Orna
Thank you so much for your part in making yesterday such a wonderful wedding celebration not only for Eran and Jasmin but for Yehuda and myself, both the families and friends.
I am so pleased that Jasmin and Eran found you!
One even commented that many a rabbi could learn a thing or two from you!
Keep up the good work and I will certainly be recommending you should the occasion arise.
All the best.
Kind regards
Maureen and Yehuda Kam, “8/2/2016

“Orna, we cannot thank you enough for making our wedding day so very, very special.  When looking for a wedding celebrant, we were after someone with whom we could establish a genuine connection.  We wanted to create a ceremony that was reflective of both our Jewish and Christian traditions.  You are an absolute perfectionist; your kind, caring, gentle nature, coupled with your willingness to go the extra mile – nothing was ever too much trouble.  The ceremony was meticulously planned, including a beautiful presentation folder containing the full script.  From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. We are eternally grateful. Dave & Sash xx “April 2014

“Having Orna marry my husband and I was an absolute blessing. I could not have asked more a more seamless, relaxing day. Orna organized everything for us, assisting us with the entire ceremony, and including exactly what we requested. While I am Catholic and my husband Jewish Orna was able to incorporate parts of both traditions to our ceremony, which is exactly what we had hoped for but not thought was possible. So thank you Orna for a magical day! So we will never forget it. Exactly what we had dreamed and hoped for on our wedding day. xxxxx  Many hugs and thanks, ROBYN & YORAM ” September 2013

We loved working with Orna as she made the whole process so simple and easy. So the script for the ceremony was tailored the way we wanted and we were able to combine elements from both our cultures to create an experience that was uniquely us.
Thank you Orna for helping make our day special and memorable.
