Christel WintherWedding & Events

Jewish weddings

Tradition at the centre. Production at the highest level.

Large American Jewish weddings are among the most demanding celebrations to produce abroad — deep tradition, large guest counts and expectations shaped by the finest celebrations at home. Christel has planned and produced them in Europe, an experience few Danish planners hold.

01The celebrations

Every tradition honoured, at full scale.

From the ketubah signing and the chuppah to the hora and a grand multi-course celebration, a Jewish wedding carries a structure and a meaning that must be understood — not merely accommodated. When the celebration travels to Europe, every element must be rebuilt with local suppliers who can meet the standard.

Christel works closely with the couple, the families and the officiating rabbi to understand which traditions matter most, and builds the production around them — so the celebration feels entirely true, in a setting entirely new.

02The setting

Why Denmark and Northern Europe.

For American families, Denmark offers a setting of rare beauty and calm — historic castles, waterfront palaces and private estates — within a safe, compact and easily navigable country, well connected to New York and the major US hubs.

Denmark's legal marriage process is among the most straightforward in Europe for international couples, and the religious ceremony can be held entirely separately, in whatever form the family and rabbi choose.
