At 5 p.m., we will begin the Jewish pre-ceremony festivities. In Jewish wedding tradition, the bride and groom participate in a Tisch. During a Tisch, groom is in a separate room with the men as they drink together and congratulate him. At the same time, the bride is in a separate room with the women as she greets the guests and they congratulate her. The bride and groom then take part in the badeken, an ancient Jewish wedding custom where the groom veils the bride before the wedding. It’s purpose is to confirm that the groom is marrying the correct spouse.

We've suggested four hotels on this page, all within a 10 minute drive of the wedding venue.
