This wedding was a perfect blend of love, tradition, and deeply personal touches, uniquely designed to reflect the couple’s shared values and passions. Having met on a dating app and bonded over their love for nature, the couple chose Callicoon Hills in the Catskills as the ideal setting for a four-day celebration surrounded by their family.
They made the wedding truly their own, starting the day by getting ready together—a heartfelt departure from tradition. Incorporating traditional Jewish customs such as the ketubah signing and the hora, they added modern twists to create what they lovingly called a “traditional Jewish wedding with a modern twist.”
The weekend was rich with meaningful details: three generations of wedding dresses were present, connecting past and present in a tangible way, and two playful figurines—”Ariella and Dan”—traveled around the property, adding an element of whimsy as guests discovered their adventures throughout the celebration.
The festivities were elevated by a vibrant four-piece klezmer and Eastern European folk band and a mesmerizing aerial and circle art performance that left everyone in awe. With all their loved ones staying together on the property, the weekend was filled with intentional quality time, laughter, and cherished memories. Every detail reflected the couple’s deep connection to nature, their love for family, and their desire to create a one-of-a-kind celebration that truly felt like them.
