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

25/06/2026 by Karen Cinnamon Leave a Comment

Rachael and Jason, One Marylebone, London, UK

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 Sophia Tolli Bride for a Winter Jewish Wedding in Pink at Sopwell House, St Albans, UK

01/06/2026 by Karen Cinnamon

Hannah and Luke, Sopwell House, St Albans, UK

Gorgeous chuppah alert! Bride Hannah, an account manager for a SAAS company, loves all things pink, so when it came time to plan her Jewish wedding to Luke, a research analyst for an asset manager, it was a given that the color would play a prominent role. That included the chuppah – and we are here for the floral romance in shades of rose crafted by the couple’s florist, Sonia of Amber Rose Flowers.

Hannah and Luke wanted to make sure their wedding had an amazing vibe with everyone up dancing all night, and they chose Totem – which happens to be owned by Hannah’s uncle Brett! – to make it happen.

We also love that the couple, who’ve been together since they were 15, had their rabbi from school under the chuppah with them officiating – and we’re also obsessed with the way they brought in all kinds of personalized touches incorporating their design and logo! Catch it all in the wonderful candid photos from Rachel Takes Pictures.

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

Hannah and Luke, Sopwell House, St Albans, UK Hannah and Luke, Sopwell House, St Albans, UK Hannah and Luke, Sopwell House, St Albans, UK Hannah and Luke, Sopwell House, St Albans, UK

How We Met

Hannah, the bride: We have been together for 13 years – we met at school and started going out when we were 15 in March 2013, and then went on to get married on 25th Jan 2026! We clicked from the day we met from such a young age and knew we were soulmates straight away – we couldn’t imagine life without each other.

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, Rosewood, London, UK

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…

Natasha and James, Rosewood, London, UK Natasha and James, Rosewood, London, UK Natasha and James, Rosewood, London, UK Natasha and James, Rosewood, London, UK

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…

How We Met

Lara, the bride: We met at secondary school when we were 18!

A Galia Lahav Bride for a Luxe Jewish Wedding with a Dreamy Floral Chuppah at the Landmark London, UK

03/11/2025 by Karen Cinnamon

Rachel and Daniel, The Landmark, London, UK

Have we got a stunner of a Jewish wedding for you! Rachel, who’s in beauty PR, and Daniel, who works for a bank, had the most breathtakingly gorgeous London Jewish wedding you ever did see.

The duo worked with Smashing The Glass Recommended Vendor GEN Z Events to plan the day of their dreams, and, in Rachel’s words, “I wouldn’t have been able to do anything without them! Jay and the team bought my vision to life in ways I didn’t even know were possible. The theme of the wedding was fairytale, whimsical and to bring my dream of being a princess for a day come true, and it definitely did!”

Speaking of being a princess for the day – can we talk about Rachel’s gown? Rachel always dreamed of a gown by Smashing The Glass Recommended Vendor Galia Lahav, and true to plan she found the absolute perfect dress (and veil!) in the beloved Israeli designer’s Gia – with some added customization to make it totally, 100% her. Rachel can’t stop raving about her experience at Galia Lahav’s London flagship.

The Landmark London, with its glass ceiling and palm trees, provided the perfect outdoor-indoor atmosphere for the day, and we’re also obsessed with the couple’s divine floral chuppah! Don’t miss it all in the wonderful photos by Rachel Takes Pictures.  

Now over to Rachel…

How We Met

Rachel, the bride: We met at JFS secondary school in year 7! We were in the same year, had the same friends and officially got together in year 9!
