Overseas Marriage


There are many destinations where a chuppah can be arranged but how to go about this will differ from place to place. In terms of the paperwork required, the process is similar to that for Israel. However, one should be careful to ensure the orthodox credentials of the Rabbi performing the marriage and the availability of kosher catering.

For all information on marrying overseas please refer to the FAQs section where you fill find numerous valuable questions and answers that will shape and guide your planned marriage overseas.
