There was a time when a wedding was one long, intense, and full evening. The couple ran between tables, trying to capture a moment with each guest, and the camera flash blinked at every moment. Then, before you could breathe – it was all over. But something has changed. More and more couples are realizing that it is possible differently. That you can slow down, extend, and produce not just an event – but an entire experience that lasts several days
Producing a luxury wedding is no longer measured only by the size of the hall or the number of guests, but by the quality of the experience, the quality time, and the ability to accumulate memories that are not compressed into a few hours. And when we talk about producing a wedding of several days, we are talking about a completely different philosophy – one where every day is a chapter in a story, every location is a new stage, and every moment is an opportunity to be truly present.
So many people, so many moments, and so little time to enjoy the experience: the reasons for switching to a multi-day event
So what actually makes couples go for a multi-day wedding production? Many couples have married in a standard wedding, and felt that the evening “flew” too quickly for them. There are so many people, so many moments, and so little time to truly feel and experience the event. In an ongoing event, time becomes an asset. You can breathe, talk, laugh, and spend time with the people who matter most to you – without running.
But there is also something deeper: producing a luxury wedding is not only about material wealth, but about the richness of time. The ability to devote each stage the attention it deserves. To separate the formal moments from the intimate moments. Allowing guests to be part of the experience, and not just spectators from the sidelines.
And that’s exactly what happens when you plan a wedding that lasts two or three days: each day takes on its own character, each location tells a different story, and each experience unfolds naturally – without pressure, without compression, without the feeling that something is gone before we have time to capture it.
An ideal schedule: from the first champagne to the last brunch
So what does it look like in practice? Here’s an example of an ideal schedule for producing a wedding that lasts several days, combining different locations and diverse experiences:
Day 1: Welcome party on the beach
The first day is often a soft and relaxed start. The beach that stretches the length of Israel is a winning location, with an incredible view and a unique romantic atmosphere. A welcome party on the beach – with live music, chilled drinks, and a setting sun – together create a relaxed and inviting atmosphere. This is not yet the official ceremony, it’s just the beginning. The couple and guests begin to get energized, laugh, and feel like they are getting oriented and establishing a presence.
Day 2: The Ceremony and Celebration in a Luxurious Garden
This is the main day – the ceremony itself, the canopy, the moving speeches, and the big party. This is where the wedding production reaches its peak: perfect design, dramatic lighting, chef-level food, and a feeling that every detail received the attention it deserves. But since the previous day the ice was already “broken,” the atmosphere here is more relaxed. The guests already know each other, the couple is no longer tense, and everything flows more naturally.
Day 3: Intimate Brunch in a Villa or Boutique Hotel
The third day is the closing – soft, intimate, and full of warmth and love. Brunch in a private villa, boutique hotel, or in the garden of the family home. A smaller number of guests (usually only close family and best friends), a Shabbat morning atmosphere, and a sense of home. This is the time to sit, talk, laugh about what happened yesterday, and feel that the experience is closing in a beautiful and complete way.
How to Maintain Design Coherence – Even if the Event Takes Place in Multiple Locations
One of the challenges in producing an event in multiple locations is maintaining a consistent design line. How do you make a wedding feel like one story, even if it spans a beach, a wedding venue, and a villa?
The answer: a strong design concept. When there is a clear concept – color palette, design style, recurring elements – you can change locations but maintain a cohesive and coherent feel.
For example: a boho-chic wedding can be expressed in simple and natural decoration on the beach, in a more luxurious but still organic design in the wedding venue, and in a relaxed and warm atmosphere at the brunch. Same language, three different expressions.
Professional production companies like Makers – a boutique team of dedicated professionals with a passion for creating unique, high-quality events – know exactly how to maintain this coherence while creating diversity and the right pace.
How to Balance Formality with Relaxation – and Keep Your Energy Up
One of the most important considerations in planning an extended luxury wedding is energy management – for the couple and for the guests. Three days of celebration can be exhausting if not planned properly.
The trick: leave room for breathing space. Sunday – light and free. Monday – intense and full. Tuesday – intimate and relaxed. Each day at a different pace, so that no one feels tired or overwhelmed.
It’s also important to give your guests autonomy and freedom of choice. Not everyone has to be in on everything. You can invite everyone to a party on the beach, expect most of them to show up for the ceremony, and invite only the closest circle to brunch. This way, everyone can choose their level of involvement and feel comfortable.
Why It’s Worth It – Beyond the Budget
Is hosting a multi-day wedding more expensive? The answer is: It depends. If you plan properly, you can invest the same budget – just spread it out differently. Fewer guests on the main day means savings that can be spent on the extra two days. Or decide to spend more – because it’s quality time that won’t come back.
But beyond the budget, there’s the real value: memories. An extended wedding is more than an extended event – it’s a completely different philosophy and a different perception of this class. When you don’t cram everything into a few hours, there’s room for emotions, real conversations, and the feeling that you really celebrated.
When the wedding becomes a journey
Producing a luxury wedding lasting several days is not just an extended event – it’s a journey. A journey where the couple and guests go through different moments, different locations, and different emotions together. From the first champagne on the beach to the last brunch at the villa – it’s a complete story, with a beginning, middle, and end. And it’s the kind of story that stays with us for a lifetime.
