A Jewish Wedding Filled with Good Ruach, Good Vibes, and Good People at The Langham, London, UK

13/07/2026 by Karen Cinnamon

We adore a London Jewish wedding – and Gabi and Harry’s at Smashing The Glass Recommended Vendor The Langham is really something special.

The bride, who works in sustainability for an insurance company, and the groom, an associate engineer, knew The Langham was the one as soon as they visited. They fell in love with not only the gorgeous ballroom but the whole vibe, which really encapsulates all the elegance and glamour of London.

Gabi and Harry’s vision for the day was “good ruach, good vibes and being with all our favourite people,” and you can see that they absolutely pulled it off. Smashing The Glass Recommended Vendor Claudine Hartzel took the most beautiful photos and made Gabi and Harry feel so comfortable on the day – in Gabi’s words, “It was more like having a friend in the room taking pictures of us. She was also EVERYWHERE and captured also the right moments, but also was somehow never in the way!”

The couple’s videographer, Smashing The Glass Recommended Vendor Michael Pearl Films captured all the energy of the day so perfectly – and Gabi and Harry report that nearly two years on, they still can’t get enough of their wedding video and watch it frequently!

We also love that, in addition to their general wedding gift list, the duo opted to set up a We Judaica registry with Smashing The Glass Recommended Vendor Contemporary Judaica – such a smart idea!

Now over to Gabi…

How We Met

Gabi, the bride: Harry and I met when we were 15 years old at a Jewish Youth Group (JLGB) on a Winter Camp. We became good friends and also went on Israel Tour together when we were 16. At 17 we started dating and the rest is history! Gabi went off to uni and Harry did an apprenticeship so we navigated a long-distance relationship for a few years. In 2021, we moved in together and then engaged in 2023. We got married in 2024 and then last year (2025) we moved across the world together to Sydney.

An Essense of Australia Bride for a Foodies’ Jewish Wedding at One Marylebone, London, UK

25/06/2026 by Karen Cinnamon

We always love seeing what event industry pros choose when it comes to their own Jewish weddings – and today’s bride Rachael, who works for Melanie’s Catering, had the most fabulous foodie Jewish wedding to groom Jason!

The London couple opted to wed at One Marylebone, and they turned to their friend Lara of Smashing The Glass Recommended Vendor Uptown Events to bring their vision to life. Needless to say, Rachael reports that “the whole team at Uptown couldn’t do enough for us and put all their effort into making our day everything we wanted it to be.”

Choosing a caterer was obviously a big decision, given the bride’s professional background. Rachael’s own colleagues were all guests at the wedding, so the couple needed to look elsewhere to source exceptional food for the big day. Enter Eat Me Events, who worked closely with the couple to make all their culinary dreams come true – and it really does look incredible, just check out photos by Alex Wysocki and video from Tete-a-tete Films.

Read on for all the magical details of this very special day in Rachael’s own words…

How We Met

Rachael, the bride: With not much to do in lockdown, we both found ourselves on hinge and matched the day before Rosh Hashanah. He had me at ‘Shana Tovah’ and the rest is history. Eventually when we could, our first date was a drink in a pub outside and Jason actually proposed that very night with a paper straw.

A Gemy Maalouf Bride for a Classic Winter Jewish Wedding at Banking Hall, London, UK

18/05/2026 by Karen Cinnamon

We love a London winter wedding, and Claudia and Aaron’s is really something special! Claudia, a wellness coach and personal trainer, and Aaron, a consultant, had the chicest December Jewish wedding at the iconic Banking Hall. The character-packed venue was the perfect spot for their classic black tie affair – and we’re obsessed with the stunner of a staircase!

Featuring a simple, chic chuppah adorned with white florals and greenery, an absolutely breathtaking Gemy Maalouf gown, and the most wonderful personal touches (Claudia and Aaron wrote personal notes to each of their 175 guests, which they placed on the tables as place cards!), there’s so much to love about this gorgeous day. Don’t miss all the magical details in the photos by Pippa Mackenzie and video by Lewis of Lightbulb Films.

When it came to music, Claudia and Aaron opted for Smashing The Glass Recommended Vendor XS Showband, and they couldn’t be any more thrilled with their choice. In Claudia’s words, “They were just unbelievable. Every meeting with Fran and her team was perfect and they also did our production too which made the process feel really seamless. The band absolutely smashed it and our guests still reminisce how amazing they were.” They even brought Claudia’s grandad on stage to sing “New York, New York,” one of the highlights of the whole evening!

Read on for the rest of the story in Claudia’s own words…

How We Met

Claudia, the bride: Aaron and I grew up in the same area, lots of mutual friends, same parties, rival schools but never crossed paths until our early 20s when we were both on JSwipe and matched. The rest is history.

A Suzanne Neville Bride for a Quintessentially Elegant London Jewish Wedding at the Rosewood London, UK

20/04/2026 by Karen Cinnamon

Natasha and James’ big day embodies everything we love the most about London Jewish weddings. There’s something so iconic about a London hotel venue and Natasha, who works at Sky Sports as an Assistant Producer, and James, a Senior E-Commerce Manager at Universal Music Group, opted to make things official at one of the best, the stunning Rosewood London. The couple loved the way the property embodies “cool and classy,” and it really was the perfect spot for this very special day.

Natasha and James’ wedding planners, Smashing The Glass Recommended Vendor Uptown Events, helped the couple bring their wedding dreams to life, and, in the bride’s words, “made everything so seamless from start to finish.” We’re obsessed with all the gorgeous details that gave this wedding its wow factor, from the epic forest-like chuppah in green and white to Natasha’s bespoke gown by Suzanne Neville and so much more. And naturally we’re obsessed with the candid editorial photography from Rachel Takes Pictures!

Read on for all the rest of the details of this exquisite wedding in Natasha’s own words…

How We Met

Natasha, the bride: James & I never had the “hello, nice to meet you moment”. We had actually known each other since we were little, with James being best friends with my cousin. It was only at University that we were “formally” introduced and the rest was history! We both studied in Leeds, Natasha at the University of Leeds and James at Leeds College of Music, and from the day we met, we instantly clicked… Two days later and we are having our first date, at Old Trafford for Manchester United vs Arsenal (both MASSIVE Arsenal fans)! 8 years later and we are married!

A Rosa Clará Bride for a Wedding Planner’s Traditional Jewish Wedding with a Twist at The Langham, London, UK

30/03/2026 by Karen Cinnamon

We always love seeing what choices Jewish wedding pros make when it comes to planning their own big day – so naturally we’re thrilled to be featuring the wedding of Lara, the wedding planner behind Smashing The Glass Recommended Vendor Uptown Events! She and Grant, a data analyst, had the most fabulous London Jewish wedding at Smashing The Glass Recommended Vendor The Langham, one of the city’s most iconic venues.

Having worked on so many incredible weddings, Lara had lots of time to think about what she’d want to do for her own – which was honoring tradition while bringing in some original twists. One of these twists was the color scheme: rather than leaning into classic white, Lara opted for a palette focused on soft pinks with touches of green – and was it ever gorgeous! We’re especially enamored with Lara and Grant’s stunner of a floral chuppah – don’t miss it in the incredible photos by Katie Rogers!

We also love the fun culinary touches the dessert-loving couple brought to their wedding menu. Instead of a wedding cake, they opted for a giant tiramisu – and there was also a crumble bar, where guests could mix and match between different fruit bases and crumble toppings. How good does that sound?! And if that wasn’t enough, they had not one but two roaming desserts: a chocolate mousse trolley and a doughnut belt!

There are so many more fun details – everything from the way the couple included their beloved dog in the day via an AI cartoon image they used on custom matchboxes to the Picante tower the tequila-loving duo dreamed up instead of the classic Champagne version – but we’ll leave it to Lara, who looked so elegant in her beautiful lace gown by Rosa Clará, to tell you the rest…
