A Very British Wedding

We were really proud to be invited to take part in the making of a major Documentary Series for BBC Television called ‘A Very British Wedding’.

Three one hour films which are being transmitted in March 2013 on BBC2. ‘A Very British Wedding’ is an observational series looking to explore the subject of weddings among different religions and cultures. Our contribution to the series was our performance at a Jewish Wedding (episode 3), showing the first dance and Israeli music discussions with the happy couple Ben and Natalie.

As one of the leading Jewish wedding bands in the UK (see our Jewish Wedding page)  it really was an honour to be asked to take part in the TV series. The focus is going to be on our Israeli dance sets which is such a big part of a Jewish wedding.

‘A Very British Wedding’ is an observational Series looking to explore the subject of weddings among different Religions and Cultures in the UK today, through their planning, whether this is organized through more formal Planners, family members or the couple themselves.

It has been commissioned by Religion And Ethics at the BBC. Within the Series, they aim to give an intelligent understanding and insight into the practices, customs and traditions which each Culture and Religion approach weddings and in turn allow an insight into contemporary multi-cultural British life. They follow, in detail, the planning of weddings and the events themselves.
