Planning a Jewish Wedding in New Jersey

We are not wedding planners, and if you are looking for one we would rather say so than sell you something else. What we do have, after two decades of New Jersey simchas, is a very clear picture of where the evening goes wrong — and almost all of it is timing.

The three recurring mistakes: the chuppah is set for the moment the light dies rather than twenty minutes before it, so the ceremony photographs are the weakest of the night. Family photographs are scheduled after the chuppah, which is when half the family has already found their table and cannot be reassembled. And the kallah's own room is given fifteen minutes when it needs thirty-five. None of that costs money to fix; it costs a conversation in the month beforehand. Ask us for the timeline sheet and we will send it whether or not you book us.
