FAQs

Question

What language(s) will be used during the ceremony and reception? Que idioma se utilizara para la ceremonia y la cena?

Answer

Both English and Spanish, as well as Hebrew. Tanto en inglés como en español, ademas del hebreo.

Question

I have never been to a Jewish ceremony. What can I expect?

Answer

Badeken: The groom, accompanied by his wedding party, approaches the bride following the signing of the Ketubah (Jewish marriage contract). He then places a veil over the bride's face and the bride is blessed. Chuppah: The groom walks to the chuppah first, accompanied by his escorts, followed by the bride, who upon reaching the chuppah, circles the groom seven times. Blessings are recited, and wine is given to both the groom and the bride to sip. The groom gives the bride a ring which he places on her right index finger and says (in Hebrew): "With this ring, you are consecrated to me according to the law of Moses and Israel." Following this, the Ketubah (Jewish marriage contract) is read aloud and then given to the groom who gives it to the bride. The Sheva Brachot (seven blessings) are recited and the groom steps on a glass, breaking it, signifying the conclusion of the ceremony.

Question

Wedding shmedding. Tell me about the food!

Answer

All food will be Kosher; that is to say, no mixing of milk & meat, no forbidden animals, etc... In fact, there will be no milk, or milk-derived, products at all. All meat will have been shocheted either on the mainland or locally. The cuisine will represent the finest culinary traditions of the Balearic Islands as well as elements of international cuisines and Sephardi cuisine of Spain.

Question

Will you be providing transportation to / from the wedding?

Answer

Yes, we will be providing a bus service from a central pick-up location in Palma to take guests to the wedding. There will also be a bus to bring people back to Palma

Question

How do I book a spot on the bus to / from the wedding?

Answer

Please make sure you RSVP for the bus so we have an idea of how many people / buses we need to book!

Question

Does Uber / Lyft / Cabify work on the island?

Answer

Alas no. The only vehicles for hire on the island are licensed taxis. Each municipality has their own taxi fleet. Taxis from one municipality can drop you off in another municipality, but taxis are only allowed to pick-up fares within their own municipalities. Taxis can be hailed, or called for pickup (a fee is charged for call-outs). Some phone numbers for taxi companies are 971 401 414, 971 201 212, and 651 178 961

Question

So I should rent a car then?

Answer

For anything related to the wedding, no, you don't really need a car. Taxis are cheap and plentiful in-and-around both Palma and the airport. The hotels we are recommending are all either walking distance or a short ride away from the synagogue for Friday night services and Kiddush, the Saturday night sundowners / welcome drinks venues we are looking at, and the pick-up/drop-off point for the buses to/from the wedding venue. However, if you decide to stay after the wedding to explore the island (and we encourage you to explore the beautiful scenery) having a car will be extremely useful

Question

Where should I stay?

Answer

We recommend you stay in, or close to, Palma. Not only is it easy to get to everywhere on the island from the capital, but the transportation to / from the wedding will leave from the centre of town. We are in the process of organising hotel discounts for the out-of-towners. The Travel section of this website will be updated with hotel suggestions and discounts.

Question

How do I get to Mallorca?

Answer

Short answer? Swim! Long answer? See the Travel section for more detailed information.

Question

I'm from Australia, and everything there is always trying to kill me. Do I need to worry about Spain?

Answer

Nope. In fact the only thing that might kill you is the fact that people can live an even more laid back and fun-filled life than the Aussies.

Question

Will Inigo Montoya be there?

Answer

Possibly. But unless you are the six-fingered Count Rugen who killed his father you will have nothing to fear.
