Shir Jewish Music

16/04/2025 by

Shir has been bringing musical joy to brides, grooms, their families and guests for 20 years all over the UK and Europe.

We make sure that your wedding day is a truly special experience filled with love and “ruach” (Jewish spirit).

From the moment we welcome your guests with atmospheric pre-Chuppah music, through the Procession and ceremony, the “smashing of the glass”, the Reception, to the first set of Simcha dancing, through dinner and more dancing, we accompany you all the way with beautifully played, tasteful and uplifting music.

The Chuppah ceremony is the most important part of your event – you choose your processional songs for us to play, and we accompany the Rabbi/Chazan or provide Chazzanut ourselves.

Our hoice of repertoire will be chosen specifically for you from a selection of traditional and modern Jewish music (Klezmer, Israeli, Sephardi, Ladino, Yiddish, Mizrahi).

Once the party starts you won’t want to stop dancing and if your guests don’t know what to do we’ll get on the floor and guide them through some led Israeli dancing. This is especially popular with non-Jewish guests who can feel a bit lost during the Simcha / Israeli dancing.

Working closely with top DJ team Max Marcus Events, Shir offer a “One Stop Shop” for music and all elements of your production and will advise and guide you through the planning process of your special day.

Mazal Tov!

A Mia Pava Bride for a Joyous Jewish Wedding at Olmaya, Jerusalem, Israel

07/04/2025 by Karen Cinnamon

Jerusalem is such a special place to get married – Tamar and Noam’s big day at Olmaya, featuring a stunning outdoor chuppah with majestic views of the Old City, is really something else.

This was such an iconically only-in-Israel wedding, and we are all about it. Tamar and Noam chose Smashing The Glass Recommended Vendor Tzahi Shemesh to photograph their day, and they couldn’t have been any more thrilled with the results – take a scroll through his incredible, heartfelt images and you’ll see why. Plus, the couple can’t stop raving about how much they loved working with him, and how comfortable and fun he made their wedding day photos!

Tamar chose the most gorgeous gown by Israeli designer Mia Pava, and we can’t get enough of her beautiful, whimsical bridal style.

Read on for all the details in the bride’s own words…


How We Met

Ah, Tuscany – there’s really no place like it. The rolling hills, the sunlight, the food – it’s no wonder Salome and Jonathan chose Florence’s Villa di Maiano for their Jewish wedding.

The whole day positively exudes Tuscan charm from start to finish and we’re obsessed with all the gorgeous details, from the outdoor chuppah to the fabulous florals (don’t miss the epic floral chuppah!) and tablescapes.

The whole day was captured so perfectly by Smashing The Glass Recommended Vendor Colle Photo. Every shot looks like it could’ve come straight out of a glossy magazine, and needless to say Salome and Jonathan are thrilled with the results.

Alicia and Arcady’s Jewish Wedding at Belmond Caruso, Ravello, Amalfi Coast, Italy

When wedding dreams come true… we love that Alicia and Arcady went from joking about what a great wedding venue the majestic Belmond Caruso would make for their very hypothetical Jewish wedding to tying the knot there four years later!

Not that you need a sentimental reason to justify a venue as outrageously gorgeous as this one — it’s basically everything the words “Amalfi Coast” probably conjure up for you, and then some. With a sweet floral chuppah overlooking the sea and an intimate outdoor reception with some serious Midsummer Night’s Dream vibes, this day was planned to perfection by Smashing The Glass Recommended Vendor Primavera Dreams.
