From the moment we were in touch with Adi from Simcha Maker we knew we had made the right decision.
We completely trusted her from the beginning which made our job as a bride and groom easy! Adi said that she wanted us to feel like guests at our own wedding. She wanted us to give the stress to her and join in the excitement when we arrived at the venue. And we did! Your wedding is supposed to be the happiest day of your life and by letting Adi deal with all the stress it really really was!
She thought of absolutely EVERYTHING! Whilst we gave her our ideas we trusted her artistic skills and experience to turn our ideas into the perfect wedding and that it was! All our friends said it was the best wedding they had ever been too (including their own!) and we couldn’t agree more!
Every email that was sent (both from us and my mum!) was answered within minutes, at any time of day. Adi helped us with travel and accommodation for all our 200 guests from the UK, USA, Australia, Canada, Spain etc. Nothing we asked her was too much trouble and it was all the extra things that helped the whole weekend to run so smoothly!
Thank you Simcha Maker for making our dream wedding!

Dear future bride,


Your wedding is one of most important moments in your life….and I can tell you that Adi knows it very well and will help and organise your wedding as you dreamt, as she did for us.

From the excited couple:

It was really fun and amazing, and you were incredible all along (although we were stressed out sometimes ) The wedding was just amazing and fun!

What’s better than Mom’s recommendations?

When we started to prepare the wedding of my daughter, we had already had contacted several wedding planners.
None were satisfying, or were too “fanciful”, however, Adi, from SimchaMaker was the last wedding planner we met and the from the first contact, trust has been created. We felt we had found the right person to coordinate the wonderful event that we were about to have. Indeed, life, work and lots of other things did not leave time to prepare the event ourselves. I live abroad needed a trusted and able partner to play this role .

Adi has met these commitments seriously, persistently, with discipline and always available regardless of the problem or worry, nothing is left to chance.
Thank you, Adi for your work, your help and your availability that made ​​this beautiful wedding.
- A happy Mom

Lorsque nous préparions le mariage de ma fille, nous avions déjà eu des contacts avec plusieurs wedding planner. Aucun ne nous satifaisaient, trop fantaisistes, peu rigoureux,….. Adi est la dernière wedding planner que nous avons rencontrés et dès le premier contact, un climat de confiance s’est installé, nous avions le sentiment que nous avions trouvé la bonne personne pour coordonner le magnifique évènement que nous nous apprêtions à vivre. En effet, les futures mariés travaillent et n’ont donc pas le temps de bien préparer l’évènement, je vis à l’étranger donc je suis les préparatifs de loin, il nous fallait donc une personne de confiance et capable de jouer ce rôle. Adi a rempli ces engagements avec sérieux, obstination, rigueur, toujours disponible quel que soit le problème ou l’inquiétude, rien n’est laissé au hasard. Merci, Adi pour ton travail, ton aide et ta disponibilité qui nous ont permis de réaliser ce magnifique mariage. Une Maman ravie

“Adi is far more than a wedding planner to me. Her great sense of contacts and her genuine politeness make of her a subtle and motivating person to work with. Not only is she able to adapt her expertise to the tastes of her clients, but also is she quick at grasping the cultural differences that make her clients’ events so peculiar. Adi has a great habit of working with people from around the globe and is able to promote Israel through unforgettable events which stand in our memories as jewels of eternity”

Yes, we’re still blushing…Here are some photos from Paul and Karin’s wedding in Jerusalem, overlooking the Ancient City walls.

Dear Adi.

There are no words to describe our gratitude towards you!

Thank you for creating our beautiful simcha!

Everything was perfect and exactly as we imagined it would be.

Thank you for allowing us to put our minds at ease so we could really enjoy ourselves!

We look forward to working with you again for a bar/ bat-mitzvah

All the best

Batsheva and Roy Friedman.
