Begin 3–4 months before your wedding date. The process involves submitting documents, a meeting with the registering rabbi, a mikveh visit for the bride, and scheduling the ceremony date.

The ketubah is the Jewish marriage contract. Traditional text is in Aramaic; modern versions add personal vows. Artistic ketubot range from ₪500–₪5,000+ and serve as beautiful wall art. Choose a style that reflects your values.

A traditional ceremony lasts 20–40 minutes. Personalized ceremonies may run 30–50 minutes. Keep it meaningful but not too long—guests are typically standing. Discuss timing with your rabbi.

Yichud is a brief private moment for the couple immediately after the chuppah, traditionally in a secluded room. It symbolizes the beginning of their private life together and allows a quiet moment to absorb the ceremony.

Cover your vision for the ceremony, religious flexibility, specific traditions you want to include or skip, the ceremony language (Hebrew, English, both), timing, logistics at the venue, and any family sensitivities.
