Natalie & Marc’s Jewish Wedding in Rome: The Timeline of the Weekend
When planning a Jewish destination wedding, it’s essential to think about your timeline fastidiously. A lot of my Jewish couples refrain from asking their guests to travel or attend events on Shabbat, out of respect for traditions and to accommodate for all levels of observance amongst their family and friends.
Which means, while the marriage itself normally takes place on a Sunday, any welcome events are generally held on the Friday and Saturday is left free. In addition to respecting the customs of Shabbat, we also find this implies guests arrive fresh and excited to your wedding on Sunday, and have a day to enjoy their surroundings with no specified schedule.
Natalie and Marc’s Jewish wedding timeline was very like this. Nearly all of their guests flew into Rome on the Thursday or Friday morning, and we threw a wonderful welcome party at a rooftop bar within the centre of Rome. This was quite the option to begin the celebrations, immersing everyone within the atmosphere of the traditional and vibrant city, watching the sun set, and having fun with Italian canapes which were passed around throughout the evening.

The marriage itself took place on the Sunday, following a conventional Jewish wedding timeline. Natalie and Marc’s wedding venue of alternative was the spectacular Villa Miani, with unrivalled panoramic views of the town and exquisite interiors, gardens and courtyard. More on that in a moment…
One lovely feature of Villa Miani is its connecting walkway to the nearby hotel, where Natalie, Marc and lots of of their close family and friends were staying. This meant that when it was time for the Tisch to start, the lads could stroll through the walkway together to enjoy it.
We proceeded with their chuppah ceremony, which took place under an outstanding floral structure in Villa Miani’s fastidiously curated garden. The aperitivo hour followed on the lawn, enabling guests to benefit from the city laid out beneath them, coming finally to their wedding reception within the Villa courtyard.
