It is a part of the dancing where guests entertain the bride and groom through dancing, costumes, juggling, and silliness. It's also Sara and Shimmy’s favorite part of weddings, and we encourage lots of shtick! Feel free to bring things like inside jokes, funny things or short skits to perform. This is often a very fun and silly time.

We request that our guests come in cocktail attire.

After the ceremony, friends and family will dance the bride and groom to a special room called a Yichud room (literal translation is an "alone room") so that the couple will be able to spend a few private moments together during the busy night (and also eat!). During this time everyone is welcome to go sit to have appetizers at their tables.

If you have any allergies or dietary restrictions, please reach out to Shimmy or Sara before the wedding to make sure that this is accommodated.
