Because Israel is a small country you can enjoy variations of weather within a two-hour drive.

In winter, the northern region of the country is usually covered in snow so if you wish to create a winter wonderland wedding in Israel.
Friendly Vendors

Vendors in Israel are known as ‘caring people’ who will run the extra mile for their clients. They are famous for their creativity, courage and passion, which will create events that will never be forgotten. Tell a Jewish Israeli you want to experience a Shabbat dinner but don’t have anywhere to go, and you will be invited before finishing your sentence.
How Isreal Is Prepping To Attract Couples Post Pandemic
After a challenging year of COVID-19 with minimal celebrations, Israel will be one of the first green countries! Within a week, Israel vaccinated over a million citizens and in the next phase, even more. According to the government’s plan, until March 2021, everything should open in Israel safely and without restrictions.
In addition, in order to encourage wedding tourism in Israel, the wedding industry is working very hard in conjunction with their government to open special locations for destination weddings that previously were unavailable. If these locations will serve as venues, couples will get a large selection of locations to choose from.
Imagine a romantic wedding in natural white stone caves on the beach hearing the waves with candlelight, or a winter wedding in a transparent structure on the banks of hot spring… The possibilities that will open up to the international wedding world will make Israel the number one destination in the world for destination weddings.
Shavua tov! (have a good week)
