How to choose

  • Guest count: capacities here run from 50 to 1,000, so start from your real list before you visit.
  • Indoor or outdoor: garden venues need a plan for cool Jerusalem evenings and for rain in winter.
  • Access: the forest and hilltop venues are a drive from the city; check parking and shuttles for your guests.
  • Photography: ask where the sun sets during the ceremony and pick a chuppah spot with a clean view of the hills or the walls.
