We recommend staying in Tel Aviv for the majority of/entire time. For families with kids, it may be more convenient to book a hotel or Airbnb near the venue in Caesarea or neighboring cities. We managed to get a rate of $180 for the night of the wedding at the Ramada Hotel in Hadera. If you're interested let us know ASAP so we can send your details to the hotel. Those who want to explore other major cities like Jerusalem a day trip will give you plenty of time to explore the main sights but if you wish to spend more time in these cities we recommend staying a night or two to get a full sweep of the region.
It's going to be pretty warm in Israel so we recommend bringing your summer wardrobe (shorts, t-shirts, summer dresses, bathing suits/costumes) and something light for the evenings and indoor places with heavy air conditioning (thin jacket, cardigan, scarf). For the wedding wear something comfortable and light in cocktail attire. Unless you want to suit up and go all out, there's no strict dress code; tuxedos, ties or gowns are totally optional, as long as you can party all night :) Ladies, the ceremony will be in the garden on the grass, so I would avoid thin heels.
We'll be organizing buses from Tel Aviv to the venue and back - these will leave and return at specific hours (TBD) so please plan ahead if this option isn't ideal for you. If you are planning to leave from and return to Tel Aviv, please let us know so we can accommodate sufficient transport for everyone.
Trains: Israel has a pretty good and reliable train system that is both in Hebrew and English. These are mostly used to travel between cities and to the airport. Buses: there are a ton of buses to get around within in city and between cities. Egged is one of the more popular and frequent lines. Taxis: There are cabs, Sheruts (large cabs/mini buses that follow a certain route and are treated as hop-on-hop-off) and apps such as Gett (like uber). If you're based in Tel Aviv, it's easy to walk everywhere and cab rides/busses are fairly short since it's a small city We recommend downloading any apps ahead of time.
