Guidelines for a Kosher Wedding

Considerations in Arranging a Jewish Ceremony

The Date
You have to ensure that your intended wedding day is allowable under Jewish law. You can not get married on these days according to Jewish law:
Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Passover, Shavuot, in the counting of the Omer, the 1st and last day of Sukkot, and Shabbat and the fast day of Tisha B’Av, the tenth of Tevet, the seventeenth of Tammuz, and the fast days of Gedaliah and Esther.

The Rabbi
If you don’t belong to a synagogue, finding a rabbi to marry you can become tough. Some rabbis won’t perform services outside their synagogues, while others will not perform a service if your chosen locale is not authorised by a proper rabbinical authority.

The Locale
The commonest facility is a synagogue. The prices are dreadful and the food quality isn’t always guaranteed. Many reception halls have formed an association with kosher caterers and may be able to provide a kosher location.
You have to exercise extreme care when choosing a banquet hall that conveys that it can offer kosher food. Consider the following: does the facility have a proper heshcer, does the place have another on site kosher kitchen, will there be a mashgeachon site during your event. Nonetheless the most important question to ask, is the food any good.
Not all feast hall chefs can cook great kosher food. It takes years of experience and study to be able to mix the proper kosher ingredients into a wonderful meal. The only real way you can tell if the food is glorious is by references. Ask for references to contact and ask for a tasting of the foodstuff you have chosen in your menu.

The Budget
What are you able to afford? The solution to this query will decide which location you’ll select and how many guests you are going to invite.

Planning your marriage can be a laugh and stress-free, if you are organised and plan some way in advance. Wedding locales get prepared a year in advance as do rabbis and musicians.
