Understanding Jewish Wedding Dates
Jewish law has specific periods when weddings cannot or should not take place
Shabbat & Yom Tov
Weddings cannot take place on Shabbat (Friday sunset to Saturday night) or most Jewish holidays. This is halacha — Jewish law.
Sefirat HaOmer
The 49 days between Passover and Shavuot are a semi-mourning period. Most Ashkenazi Jews don't marry during this time, except on Lag B'Omer and from Rosh Chodesh Sivan.
Three Weeks
From 17 Tammuz to 9 Av (Tisha B'Av), weddings are traditionally not held. This mourns the destruction of the Temple.
Rosh Chodesh
Some communities avoid weddings on Rosh Chodesh (new month). Consult your rabbi about your community's custom.
Chol HaMoed
The intermediate days of Passover and Sukkot. Weddings are generally not held during this period according to Ashkenazi custom.
Best Times to Marry
Summer (July-August), fall after Sukkot, winter (November-March) and spring before Passover are generally excellent times for Jewish weddings.
