Modern Music-Inspired Jewish Wedding at Private Estate

Adin & Arielle’s wedding was designed to encompass modern interpretations of traditional Jewish wedding rituals and traditions. Music was central to the overall aesthetic of the wedding, as a reflection of the bride’s professional background as a Cantor. From the string trio that greeted arriving guests to the strolling violinist who led guests to the chuppah, music uplifted and amplified the joy felt by all who witnessed this union.

The couple hosted their wedding weekend at an early 19th-century private estate restored by designer Steven Gambrel, allowing them the flexibility to build an event without any constraints. Upon arrival, guests were invited into talmud and tisch cocktail receptions inside the Manor House before transitioning outside to the ketubah signing and bdeken ceremony. String musicians then led guests to their seats around the huppah on the upper lawn, after which they celebrated the couple with dinner, dancing, and song on the lower lawn.
