(Closed) I can't do the hora chair lift in my venue?!?!?!

posted 8 years ago in Jewish
  • poll: The ceilings of my venue are too low to do the hora... should I:

    have it outside (which won't work if it rains, but all the guests will fit)

    have it in the tall-ceiling foyer (which not all the guests will fit in)

    have it on the farmer's porch (not all guests will fit, but see through windows or stand outside)

    don't do the hora (I don't think I can stand this option)

    ( show poll results )

    I recently realized that my venue has low ceilings and I don’t think we’ll be able to do the chair lift in there during the hora… what should I do? I love the venue. I don’t want to go somewhere else. Put a deposit down last fall! 

     

    I’m thinking either go outside for it… (the ceremony will be held right outside the reception venue and there are no other weddings that day)… or go into the entrance foyer, which has taller ceilings but probably won’t fit all of my guests. They might have to stand on the porch and watch us through the window. Or maybe they could even lift us on the large farmer’s porch outside, which is covered. 

     

    What do you think I should do about this? We have to do the hora/chairlift! It’s one of the best traditions ever!

    Have you asked the venue about this?  Maybe they can share what other couples did for the hora.  If you’ve already talked with them, I think going outside would be better so you can include everyone.

    I’d go with outside unless it rains. If it rains use the foyer as a plan B. (Unless the venue has a better idea)

    So… spoke with the venue, we can do the hora in the venue but they’ll need to be careful not to go too far and hit our heads on the ceiling!
