We love that in the Filipino culture the weddings are considered a huge deal – the biggest event in one’s life, and are surrounded by many traditions and rituals. Kasalan is the Filipino (or Tagalog) word for “wedding”, and its root word – kasal – means “marriage”. Wikipedia does a great job explaing various aspects of the wedding culture in the Philippines and of the Filipinos living abroad.

The time-honored customs of Jewish wedding celebration require special skill to create a wedding video that is modern and at the same time reflects traditional values and specific community customs. Our cinematic documentary style is perfectly fit for this sort of work, so we put on our kippahs (also known as Yarmulke in Yiddish, or a Skull Cap in English), geared up with some state of the art video equipment, and went to the cool and stylish Foundry in Queens, New York to film this traditional Sephardic wedding.
With a hundred plus guests who flocked in from Montreal it turned out to be one of the most stylish and voguish events of the year, with a stunning bride, great ambiance, wonderful Jewish marriage ceremony peppered with traditional Jewish Moroccan wedding customs, and deep and heartfelt words of wisdom by the rabbi. Afterwards the party rocked on to the tunes of DJ Yo C whom the bride and groom brought in from Montreal. It was a really unforgettable night in NY.

Built in that classic New England style the Tappan Hill Mansion is one of Abigail Kirsch’s most exclusive venues in New York, located on the former estate of Mark Twain in the scenic Hudson Valley, just 45 minutes from midtown Manhattan. Abigail Kirsch being the largest operator of exclusive event venues in the greater New York City area whereas each of their locations offers something very unique – from the quintessential country mansion, Tappan Hill, to The Lighthouse, a city loft on the Hudson, to the Botanical Garden in the Bronx, to Stage 6 at Steiner Studios in Brooklyn, to many others.
For many years now we were of the opinion that Hudson’s Valley historic setting is the perfect backdrop for the most special events, combined with the catering professionals that have developed wedding catering into an art form. Whether it be at one of the exclusive venues or at one of many select venues in the tri-state area, Abigail Kirsch planners create a unique celebration, menu, lighting, presentation and many other details.
This was a great Jewish wedding with an unusual story: the couple has already enjoyed 3 separate wedding festivities before this one. This is what happened. The bride is an American of Italian and Jewish heritage and the groom is Israeli of Iranian-Yemenite heritage. The first and biggest wedding took place in Israel with hundreds of guests. Also a traditional Sephardi Henna Ceremony common to most Middle-Eastern cultures was held a few days prior to the wedding, which was just as big as the wedding itself. The third celebration came some weeks after the main wedding, this time in Italy, for all the Italian relatives that could not make it to the main event in Israel. And finally, the last celebration happened on American soil, at the Tappan Hill Mansion, and we were there to capture the final stage in this extravagant chain of nuptial festivities.

Sometime ago we received an email request from a Canadian couple from Toronto who were planning a getaway wedding in New York, at 60 Thompson – an elegant boutique hotel in SoHo.
The weather was not in our favor that day, but Aubrey & Krysta braved through the brief Jewish wedding ceremony on the rooftop A60, and delicious dinner at Kittichai and a wild party at Thom Bar ensued. Guests who mostly came all the way from Canada put on their dancing shoes and rocked the house in style.
As a nice extra touch the bride and groom hired a pizza truck to feed the late night partiers right on the street just outside of the hotel.
