A Galia Lahav Bride for a Soft and Sophisticated Jewish Wedding at The Dorchester, London, UK

11/05/2026 by Karen Cinnamon Leave a Comment

Jessie and Elliot, The Dorchester, London, UK

Dreamy wedding alert! Jessie, a personal shopper and stylist, and Elliot, who’s director of paid digital at Warner Music Group, had an absolutely breathtaking London Jewish wedding, and we’re smitten from start to finish.

The couple turned to Smashing The Glass Recommended Vendor Uptown Events to help them bring their vision to life at the iconic Dorchester, and Jessie can’t stop raving about how amazing they were every step of the way. In her words, “Uptown proposed amazing ideas to fit our vision and be aesthetically pleasing for our guests! Uptown Events truly were a saving grace, we were able to speak to them constantly throughout the process and their organisation was top notch. We really couldn’t have planned the wedding without them and they genuinely sorted out everything we asked for and made the day run extremely smoothly (which I know is not always possible!).”

Being in the fashion industry herself, choosing a dress was a big decision for Jessie – and unsurprisingly, she picked an absolute stunner, Sun from Smashing The Glass Recommended Vendor Galia Lahav. Even though Jessie initially thought she wanted something simple, but when she tried Sun on her sales assistant’s recommendation, she instantly changed her mind – and we’re so glad she did; it looks like it was made for her!

There’s so much else to love about this fabulous day – don’t miss it all in the wonderful candid photography by Alex Wysocki, paired with the coolest film shots by Adam Crocker!

An Iconic Venue

Jessie, the bride: The Dorchester – I’ve always wanted to get married there and we had quite a large wedding so it was the perfect space to fit all our guests! We loved the character of the ballroom and the hotel overall. It’s such an iconic landmark within London so it felt extra special to get married there.
