The first step in planning any wedding is deciding on the all-important date. As a planner of Jewish weddings who is also Jewish, I know the importance of choosing a date that doesn’t coincide with certain holidays and days of the week. No matter the level of observance of my couples, we always spend time considering the right time to hold their simcha and this often involves a lot of calendar-scrutiny!
