Their ceremony was in the round at the foot of the grand staircase. We love ceremonies held in the round because it feels like the bride and groom are receiving a big hug from all of the guests! <\/p>\n<p>When guests arrived they were greeted by champagne and latkes and after delighting in these festive treats, a shofar blew to signal guests to their ceremony seats. The bride&#8217;s reveal was dramatic and romantic. First, Rachel&#8217;s parents appeared as the processed down the aisle and then a light came on at the top of the stairs, spotlighting the bride as she took the steps down toward her parents to the song &#8220;I Am That I Am&#8221; from The Ten Commandments.<\/p>\n<p>The wedding reception continued in a bold and celebratory fashion with a night of dancing, candelight, and fabulous decor.
