The hora needs more room than you think

Jewish weddings

The moment the chairs go up, the dance floor becomes the most important square footage in the building. Jewish weddings run on structure — bedeken, chuppah, cocktail hour during the yichud, then a reception whose energy peaks in the first twenty minutes — and on a seating chart balancing two families, a head table, and kosher counts the caterer must trust.

How Mezze handles it

The Jewish wedding template oversizes the dance floor for the hora, sets a head table plus rounds of ten, and names tables after constellations. Kosher answers flow from RSVP to per-table kitchen counts. The schedule pins the chuppah (some things cannot cascade) and warns when speeches threaten the band’s first set.
