Have we got a treat for you! This week, we’re diving into the vibrant energy and timeless elegance of the Big Apple and showcasing 5 of our favorite NYC Jewish weddings. 

New York City is a place like no other, offering a perfect blend of modern style, cultural richness, and iconic venues. From chuppahs with sweeping skyline views to chic ballroom receptions in the heart of Manhattan, these weddings showcase the best of what NYC has to offer.

Each celebration is uniquely inspired by the city’s dynamic spirit, while staying true to the beauty of Jewish traditions. We’re thrilled to share these unforgettable NYC weddings with you and offer some incredible ideas for your own city celebration!

It doesn’t get much cooler than Jessie and Craig’s New York City nuptials. Their Jewish wedding has it all. The glamour, the style, the chic, and the unique.

And what with getting married in the iconic New York Public Library, I haven’t even begun to tell you about how well-executed their literary bookish theme is. I’m talking real-life librarians helping guests find their seats, library card catalogue escort cards, and a chuppah made entirely out of antique books! But wait, it gets better. Their chuppah was topped with hundreds of lightbulbs, so when it came to smashing the glass at the end of the ceremony, the groom picked out a light bulb from their chuppah to smash, and swiftly stamped on it.

Ali and Andrew’s Jewish wedding was just SO gloriously NYC, and we are here for it! They opted to make it official at the iconic Ziegfeld Ballroom, and took advantage of the prime Midtown location for some incredible couple’s shoots on the streets of NYC and in Central Park. Smashing The Glass Recommended Vendor Sarah Merians Photography captured it all so perfectly!

We’re also obsessed with Ali and Andrew’s exquisite Art Deco-inspired chuppah, featuring florals in blue, purple, pink, and white – and we love that the pair opted to have their chuppah in the round so everyone could feel like part of the ceremony.

10 Beautiful Jewish New York Wedding Venues

02/06/2022 by Karen Cinnamon

There’s no place like New York City for a Jewish wedding. The Big Apple is chock full of options to suit couples of all tastes and styles – and nowhere is that more evident than when it comes to venues!

While you might associate NYC with glitzy ballroom Jewish weddings – and it’s certainly got plenty of amazing options for those – the city that never sleeps is also full of hidden gems, from outdoor garden venues that’ll have you feeling like you’ve been whisked away to the country to the edgiest converted warehouses and factories. 

In fact, there are SO many gorgeous Jewish wedding venue choices that we really struggled narrowing ourselves down to just 10 – but we hope you’ll take this list of just a few of our favorites as a starting point.
