Jonny Mosesson

jonny-mosesson 2 Having pursued a life of song, Jonny is a trained singer, regularly leading services in his synagogue. An orthodox chazan working throughout the UK and abroad, he has been invited to officiate chuppahs as a chazan across the world, from Johannesburg to Jerusalem.

No ordinary chazan, Jonny brings soulfulness and spirituality to your wedding ceremony in a wonderfully personal yet fully professional manner with a stress free service, and was chosen to sing under the chuppah at the Smashing The Glass founder, Karen’s, wedding!

His voice and musicality are truly special with each ceremony catering to suit one’s personal taste be it with a beautifully intimate support of a guitar or perhaps the ethereal backing of a string quartet, or both. The end goal being  to warm your hearts.

Past couple’s comments

Jonny Moses-son sang beautifully and passionately along with a piano and violin, and he was great helping us choose the music – even playing songs to us live over the phone!”

Emma & Pete


We had the amazing Jonny Mosesson sing at our chuppah and we found him on Smashing The Glass! We absolutely love his voice and he made our ceremony really special.”

Emma & Mike


When Jonny sung ‘Im Eshkachech Yerushalayim’, it gave me goosebumps and would probably have been our favourite part of the actual chuppah ceremony along with Toby smashing the glass! Jonny Mosesson has the voice of an angel, he brought tears to both of our eyes the whole way through.”

Sami & Toby


Jonny brought soulful music and spirituality to our wedding ceremony in a wonderfully personal way. His voice and musicality are truly special and so many of our guests commented on his beautiful singing.

He was a joy to work with from beginning to end, suggesting great ideas and delivering far more to our celebration than we could have ever wished for.”

Karen & Jeremy


Picking our chuppah music was one of our favourite wedding planning moments! We loved watching all the emotive chuppah clips on YouTube. There are clever versions of traditional songs with more modern tunes, but our favourites were Joseph Schwekey’s stunning take on traditional versions and our mesmerizing chazan Jonny Mosesson truly did them justice.

It was so weird to share such an intimate moment with a stranger, but the three of us were beaming at each other the whole way through. It was very strange but very amazing!”

Danielle & Adam


Hi Jonny,

sorry I didn’t get to say good bye and thank you again before you left on Sunday – I just wanted to let you know how much we absolutely loved having you perform at our wedding.

The music under the chuppah was more beautiful then we could ever have imagined and we loved every moment of it! Thank you for the bottom of our hearts I’ll send you the professional photos once I get them, but here are some from friends and family.

Thank you again!!!”

Ruthie & Dan


So, the dust has settled and normal life is starting to resume. We honestly cannot thank you and your team enough for making such a pivotal part of our wedding a massive success. Both Jo and I plus our parents had so many positive comments about how great the music was. Jonny and Jamie were both just phenomenal and people were blown away by the singing at the chuppah, the music during the meal and the incredible party atmosphere you managed to maintain throughout the entire afternoon/evening. People really enjoyed the musicians enthusiasm and skill. It really helped keep the energy at just the right level the whole time. They paced it so well, taking the mood from frenetic to chilled and onto full party atmosphere.

We had always said it was important to keep the dance floor full from the end of the meal but loved that the music was so good we had people getting up to dance between courses! Ever seen the mother of the groom and her sisters charlestown after a starter? ha ha.

We also said from the start that the music would probably be the most important part of the wedding for us and you exceeded our expectations. So from my wife and I (sorry still not quite over the novelty) our deepest, heartfelt thank you to you and the team.”

Adam & Jo

Gena & Tony | Extraordinarily imaginative ‘color explosion’ Jewish wedding at the Sydney Polo Club, NSW, Australia

10/07/2014 by Karen

rainbow-wedding
Epic.

Get your sunglasses ready because todays wedding is a massive rainbow-hued color fest. Gena and her husband Tony had one of those weddings where there are so many details I love I hardly even know where to start.

There’s Gena’s pom pom crown, her crochet dress and her supersize bouquet filled with flowers of every possible hue, glitter, ribbons, and pom poms. Then we’ve got bridesmaids dressed in orange carrying big foil heart shaped balloons with tissue paper tassels instead of bouquets. There’s a super cute dog taking centre stage during the ceremony. And 1200 odd colored ribbons used to decorate the barn and chairs. The handmade resin crayons for buttonholes (a reference to the green crayon hair clip that Gena wore in her hair the night Tony first noticed her) are so cute!). And then there’s the way that Tony looks at Gena…

So have you got your sunglasses ready? Well get your Pinterest boards primed too because you are most certainly going to need them! All of these delectable images were taken by the rather brilliant Lara Hotz. (Oh and check out the mighty cute wedding film at the end of the post by The White Tree too!).

A RUSTIC VENUE
Our wedding was on a farm at the Sydney Polo Club, about an hour away from where we live. We wanted to have something a bit out of the ordinary (this can be hard with a big Jewish wedding but we knew we didn’t want a hotel reception room) and not expect people to have to travel too far. We ended up having the chuppah and dance floor inside the barn and connected a marquee to the side where the guests were seated. The barn doors slid open to connect the two spaces.

Win £100 to spend on bridal lingerie with Rose Fulbright, plus a 30% discount for every reader

09/07/2014 by Karen

Rose Fulbright lingerie_0010
A few weeks ago Mr STG arrived  home and told me that he’d stopped by a very cool pop up shop called ‘WISE Creative’ in Marylebone, packed full of  quality, independent British brands.  He had been served by a lovely woman called  Rose, who is co-founder of WISE, and the owner of the  super-chic  luxury lingerie label, Rose Fulbright.

My always-entrepreneurial hubby  immediately spotted that my readers would love Rose’s exquisite  silhouette  designs and told me that it might  be an idea to  contact her about a collaboration. Well I know that wives aren’t known for saying this about their husbands, but he was absolutely right! I’m completely taken with Rose’s gorgeous  designs, seaming and finish, and I know that you will be too.

Her lingerie oozes femininity, and what’s more I love the fact that you can personalise the garments for your special day with a bespoke monogramming service. I very much wanted to incorporate my new initials into my wedding day and I did so by putting  a necklace on after the ceremony, made up of my  new initials, but I have to admit that  monogramming my lingerie would have been even sexier!

My interview with the woman behind the UK’s most eye-catching luxury wedding cakes, Victoria of ‘Victoria Made’

07/07/2014 by Karen

Victoria Made Wedding Cakes_0001 copy
Every so often I’m sent images that truly  take my breath away, and I certainly had one of those moments when I first clapped eyes on Victoria Made‘s  incredible creations.  They are essentially  works of art — beautifully sculptural, contemporary ,  sleek, elegant , and so utterly  pleasing to the eye.  I immediately felt like I had to get  the inside scoop on Victoria Watkin-Jones, the woman behind these works of art (that I’m sure delight the taste buds in equal measure)  so I asked Victoria if I could talk to  her for my  Wedding Smashers  series.

She kindly obliged and I was delighted that she spilt the beans to me on  how she quit her 9 to 5 to start her business from her home kitchen just 3 years ago, what a  typical day is like, and who she’d like to be trapped in a lift with!

So Victoria, what’s the ’Victoria Made’ story? How did you start your company and what’s happened between then and now?

My work life started in hospitality and catering and I always loved the creative element of putting a dish together, though not quite Masterchef standards I have to say! After a very different career change working in the fitness industry – health and fitness is something that’s always been part of me (in varying degrees!), I felt the need to go back to something creative.

The whole baking craze was taking off and wedding cakes seemed the perfect fusion of my previous food prep experience and an outlet for my creativity. I quit my old job in mid 2011 and set up Victoria Made, initially wanting to make cakes just in the Sheffield area. Not long into the business I started getting a bit of attention from further afield and was well received by some blogs so I started to look at shifting up a gear and aiming a little higher. Now 3 years in I have made cakes for Le Manoir, Jess Ennis and been featured in Brides Magazine amongst others. It’s been both a blessing and a curse that things have happened so quickly but it still seems an age ago that I was in my kitchen in Sheffield. My designs really have come a long way from then, it’s been a very quick, steep learning curve!

Jenny & Gareth | Super awesome Jewish beach wedding + pool party at Grand Satis Villa, Phang Nga Bay, Thailand

03/07/2014 by Karen

Jewish beach wedding + pool party at Grand Satis Villa, Phang Nga Bay, Thailand
Jenny  and Gareth  are one seriously hot couple. I’m talking hot with a capital ‘H’ folks and I just know you’ll think the same  once you  see  their delicious destination wedding imagery by D-Image Plus.

But WAIT. It gets better. Their ceremony took place on the sand, footsteps away from the water’s edge  with  whales dancing in the sea behind the chuppah! And after the ceremony The Kardashians  (yes, The  Kardashians) photo-bombed their portrait shots on the beach!!

Their wedding planner, Jeanette Skelton,  told me, “The Kardashians turned up on the beach in front of the villa, after the ceremony, during the photo session.  They were staying at the nearby Iniala Resort and had their film crew on the beach to film for Keeping up with the Kardashians.  Of course they wanted to film Gareth and Jenny for their show and what luck for them to run into such a fabulous bride and groom!”

Jenny, originally from Melbourne, and Gareth, from Sydney, met in Thailand which is why getting married there was so significant  for them. Jeanette from  Luxury Events  Phuket  (liaising mostly with Gareth, as Jenny was studying for her chartered accountants certificate in the run up to her wedding) created an all-sorts-of-brilliant  day for this special couple and told me “every wedding is special and unique but there are some weddings that truly stand out with incredible energy and this was one of them.”

I have to agree with Jeanette – the energy is palpable! And after their intimate beach ceremony came a pumping party complete with pineapple and lemongrass infused vodka martinis, watermelon mojitos, pina coladas, long island ice phi phi’s  live music, obligatory crazy Jewish dancing, Thai sky lanterns, fire dancers and  an insane pool party with  falafel and pitta for  a midnight snack. Divine exotic  perfection!

Ready for a goooooood time? Over to the beautiful Jenny….
