Grand Hyatt BerlinUrban wedding in a 5-star hotel – the Grand Hyatt Berlin

In the foyer of the elegant Grand Hyatt Hotel in Berlin, guests are welcomed by two charming hostesses with exclusive champagne and finger food. A band from Monaco accompanies the festive reception with classical piano and violin tunes. The groom is being congratulated from all sides, but the bride is nowhere to be seen.

The hostesses escort the guests into the ballroom, where the tables are decorated with impressive floral arrangements of white and pink hydrangeas. The wedding party is chatting animatedly with their respective table neighbors, laughing and dancing to the music. Suddenly, the band stops playing—there is a breathless tension in the air as the spotlights suddenly turn toward a large curtain at the other end of the room.

This one opens, and the trumpet trio starts playing. What a grand entrance! The bride and groom emerge from behind the curtain and are cheered from all sides. In a sparkling light show and followed by the guests, they walk not to the bridal table, but, according to Jewish tradition, straight onto the dance floor. Here, the bride and groom are lifted into the air on chairs and danced around with beaming faces song after song.

Following this active dance performance, the guests return to their seats and continue their conversation. The accompaniment of additional artists provides lively variety between the individual courses of the sophisticated menu.

Yet the highlight of the evening is not the touching speeches and the artists on stage. No, it is a choreographed bridal dance that 30 intensive hours of practice were invested in. The dance is started by the bride and groom and rounded off by the legendary dance crew Flying Steps.

At midnight, the chef spoils the guests with traditional treats as well as the gorgeous, 7-tiered wedding cake. A dreamlike wedding full of surprises.
