As you guests enter the Eden Regal Ballroom, they will be greeted with a long, plush red Carpet. As they make their way down the carpet they will stop at the lobby area for their photo opportunity- complete with a Sweet 15/ 16 banner as the backdrop. Our staff is on hand to greet your guests with non-alcoholic champagne and pass assorted Hors d’oeuvre before being escorted into the main ballroom. Meanwhile, the Guest of Honor and her court are relaxing in our spacious private suite, getting ready to make their grand entrance. The crowd is soon on their feet, ready to welcome the birthday girl and her court into the ballroom! After cheers and applause, our Guest of Honor is then seated in an elegant chair underneath our Bohemian Crystal Chandelier, and awaits the traditional crowning and shoe changing ceremony. After the diamante crown is placed on her head, and shoes changed from ballet slippers to high heels, we are ready for food service and party time!Later on in the evening, we present the special occasion cake to the Guest of Honor, and await her candle dedication ceremony. She dedicates each of her 15 or 16 candles to a special person in her life, and they light the candle together. Have your cameras ready! Once all the candles are lit, a group photo is taken by the crowd to commemorate the ceremony.

Madeline and Daniel say “I DO!”

Madeline and Daniel hosted their wedding on Sunday, July1, 2012. They held both their wedding ceremony and reception at The Eden Regal Ballroom & Catering. One of the most emotional and beautiful ritual to take place during a wedding is a traditional Jewish bedeken. During this ceremony, the groom is escorted by his father and the bride’s father, the rabbis and his friends, to his bride who is waiting for him on her “throne”. The men leading the groom’s procession to his bride dance and sing in front of him. Once the groom is near his bride, the men split to the sides so that the groom and bride are facing each other. Traditionally, this is the first time the groom see his bride. Imagine the anticipation of the bride and the women when they hear the men singing. In it also traditional for the couple not to see one another for a few days leading up to this moment. In Madeline and Daniel’s case, it was seven days. The energy and emotion that takes place during this ceremony is unreal! People laugh, cry, sing, and dance – all the wonderful things that we as humans do to celebrate. Madeline and Daniel’s event did not slow down from there.

Madeline worked with the colors purple and ivory- which worked so well together and complimented the ballroom well. We saw these two colors everywhere from the bridesmaid’s dresses, to the linens and even the Candy Bar. The bride and groom chose a cupcake cake in place of the traditional wedding cake. We are seeing more and more cupcake cakes pop up this year- they are just so much fun! The great thing about the cupcake cakes, is that you get a few more flavors with this option versus the tiered wedding cake. Yumm!
The bride and groom had a beautiful day for photos! Emily Harris Photography did a great job at capturing these breathtaking images! Take a look at these stunning photos below!

It was a pleasure for me to work with such a fun couple. I wish you both the best and thank you for letting Eden Regal Ballroom & Catering share in your special day! Congratulations to you both!

Rosh Hashanah Seder

On both nights of Rosh Hashanah, a number of foods are eaten to symbolize our prayers and hopes for a sweet new year. Many of these foods were specifically chosen because their Hebrew names are related to other Hebrew words. An accompanying prayer is recited, expressing our wishes inherent in these words and foods.

For a traditional seder, before Rosh Hashanah, gather the following items:

• Dates – Related to the word תם—”to end”; for the end of evil
• Small light colored beans – Related to the words, רב—many, and לב—heart; that our many good deeds should hearten G-d to us
• Leeks – Related to the word כרת—”to cut”; to cut down evil in this world
• Beets – Related to the word סלק—”to depart”; that evil should depart from this world
• Gourd/Squash – Related to the word קרע—to rip apart, and also קרא—to announce; that the evil verdicts be ripped and our merits be announced instead
• Pomegranate – that we be filled with mitzvot like a pomegranate [is filled with seeds]
• Apple and honey – renew for us a year good and sweet like honey
• Head of a ram or a kosher fish head – that we be a head and not a tail

Let us cater your Rosh Hashanah meal! We’ll do all the work… You receive all the compliments!

Eden Catering would like to wish you a Shana Tova Umetukah – a sweet and happy New Year. May your year ahead be filled with good health, happiness, and serenity, and may all your heart’s desires be fulfilled.

Ten Commandments of Wedding Planning

When it comes to wedding planning nothing is etched in stone: every couple is unique, every couple sets its own priorities. Here are ten very general dos and don’ts for you to keep in mind.

 

1. “I am engaged to be wed to my wonderful fiancé who has taken me out of the land of Singledom” – Recite verse at least twice daily: morning and evening

The first and the primary commandment of wedding planning is to focus on the marriage more than the wedding. Your wedding is the birth of your marriage and your goal is to start your blissful marriage on the right foot. Your wedding should lift off your marriage and send it into an ever-growing spiral of love and happiness. So make sure to focus on your partner and your partner’s ideas during the wedding preparations.

2. You shall not have any other priorities above getting married

Life doesn’t stop because you decided to get married. However, you must put your efforts and concentration above all on getting married and setting up your new family. This is really huge, so do it right.

3. You shall not stress in vain

Do not get carried away and work yourself up over insignificant little things. Attention to detail is important but attention to your well-being is even more important.

4. You must take an occasional rest

Take a break every now and then from working on putting together the most perfect wedding and do something completely unrelated, fun, and relaxing. Go out with your fiancé and do not discuss wedding planning issues.  

5. Honor your future father-in-law and mother-in-law

Parents (both sets) play a huge role in your wedding and your marriage. Honor their concerns and listen to their advice with patience and respect. Watch the way you verbalize your opinions so that your words don’t entirely disregard someone else’s point of view.

6. Do not kill your wedding planner

If you can afford it, hire a wedding coordinator to help you stay on top of the wedding planning process. A wedding planner may not be as expensive as you think and may save you a few dollars on some of your wedding purchases, thus partially paying for itself. An experienced planner will make sure that your event is well coordinated and that the many design elements of your wedding don’t clash with each other.

7.Do not steal from your self, your fiancé, and your family

Do not spend on your wedding more than you can afford. At the start of wedding planning ask around regarding the cost of things you’ll need for your wedding and make a budget based on your financial abilities.

8. Do not commit frugality

Even though overspending is a grave sin, underspending is a sin as well. You might save a hundred bucks here and there, but the memories will stay with you forever. When you cut corners, you usually end up paying for them with mounds of additional frustration.  When it comes to your photography and video remember: they remain with you for years to come and will bring to life wonderful memories of the day your marriage was born.

9. Do not bear false wedding

It’s not advisable to imitate celebrity weddings. Do not try to make your affair over-the-top and unnaturally glamorous. Your wedding is about you. When it comes to thebride’s make-up, stay true to tried techniques. Radical and edgy techniques more often than not end up looking ridiculous. Same goes for attire and other décor.

10. You shall not covet what others had at their wedding

Your wedding will always be unique because it will bring together your unique circle of friends and family. So when it comes down to it forget about what you may have seen somewhere else and let yourself fully enjoy the moment; bring joy to yourself and to your new spouse.
