It was a traditional Jewish ceremony under a chuppah, the officiant was Cantor Mark from Santa Barbara.
Elana entered and circled the groom seven times. Later they shared wine and Mike stomped the wineglass.

The music for the ceremony was provided by the talented John Evans from http://www.socalweddingguitar.com
The guests then moved towards the cocktail hour , where John Evans continued to play beautiful melodies for our couple and their guests.
There were guests in attendance from Israel, Brazil, Canada & 10 different US States!
The guests proceeded into a Ballroom bathed in colored light, with a huge dance floor in the center
Ryan welcomed the guests and introduced the Wedding Party, and implored the guests to make some noise as Mike and Elana made their Grand Entrance. They responded with enthusiasm, and the newlyweds moved straight to a 15 minutes Hora, followed by the Mayim!

Joyous dancing at Jewish weddings is a tradition as old as Jewish weddings themselves, and is certainly one of the things I love most about a W-Day. So Much fun!

After the toasts, we visioned a beautiful slide show incorporating childhood memories and family members, it was a very touching moment!
Then we launched the dancing part of the wedding, and our bride and groom didn't stop dancing till the very end.
The wedding was orchestrated by the fabulous Petr Trebin from the The Abbey Catering and Events Design Co.
It was a fantastic wedding, and it definitely set the tone for 2015.
Mazeltov Mike and Elana!
L'Chaim!
