A&H
May 7th – 10th, 2026 | Israel
Dear Family and Friends,
We are so grateful to celebrate our wedding with you in Israel, a place that is deeply special to us. The weekend will begin with a welcome party and traditional Yemenite henna, continue with a Shabbat by the sea, and conclude with a wedding in the desert beneath the stars.
Thank you for making the journey.
Celebration
The weekend will begin with a welcome party and traditional Yemenite henna - where the night sets the tone for the days ahead. Expect live food stations inspired by Yemenite, Turkish and Iranian flavors, followed by music and dancing. Buses will be provided to and from the Hilton.
Please join us for Shabbat dinner at 8:00pm on the Ballroom Terrace. For those who wish, candle lighting and synagogue services will be held at 7:00pm.
Saturday is yours to enjoy at your own pace with optional Shabbat services and kiddush brunch for those who wish to attend. Arianna and Henry will have a private area at the Hilton beach on Saturday afternoon for friends to join as they please.
We will celebrate our wedding in one of the most unique landscapes in the world, surrounded by family and friends. A place chosen for its Beauty, Depth, and History.
Round-trip transportation will be provided for all guests between Tel Aviv and the wedding location, which is near The Dead Sea.
Coaches will depart from the Hilton, Tel Aviv on Sunday afternoon. Return coaches will run every 30 minutes throughout the night.

You’ll need:
The application takes about 10 minutes, and approval is typically instant (or within up to 72 hours). The cost is 25 NIS (under $8 USD) - if you see a higher fee, you may be on the wrong website.
Yes! We’ve arranged transportation for the key events so you can relax and enjoy the celebrations:
The wedding will take place in one of the most extraordinary locations in Israel, approximately 1.5–2 hours from Tel Aviv depending on traffic. Guests can choose between two options:
Option 1: Stay in Tel Aviv on Sunday night
Buses will depart from The Hilton Tel Aviv at approximately 3:00 PM to the wedding venue, with timing to be confirmed closer to the wedding weekend.
Return buses to Tel Aviv will run every 30 minutes throughout the night.
Option 2: Stay near the wedding venue (Dead Sea area)
We have rooms reserved at two sister hotels near the Dead Sea, located about 20–30 minutes from the wedding venue.
Transportation will depart from The Hilton Tel Aviv between 12:00PM - 12:30 PM to the Dead Sea hotels, with timing to be confirmed closer to the wedding weekend.
Additional transportation will take guests from the hotels to the wedding venue later that afternoon.
Buses will return guests from the Dead Sea area back to Tel Aviv late Monday morning (exact timing to follow).
If you plan to use a hairdresser or makeup artist, we recommend arranging those services in Tel Aviv, as options near the Dead Sea are limited.
Hotel rooms at the Dead Sea will be available from approximately 3:00 PM, with a possibility of early check-in. This should allow about two hours to get ready before departing for the wedding. If you prefer to stay longer at the Dead Sea, Abby is happy to assist with booking your own transportation (abby@collettstravel.co.uk or +44 7808 148451).
The wedding is black tie, and we’re so excited for an elegant evening under the desert sky. Although the setting is outdoors, the venue will have full flooring throughout, so feel free to wear whatever shoes make you feel your best.
