The Gavriel Experience
Twenty-two dunams and three venues that can be linked together. Each part of the evening gets the setting that suits it, and your guests move from one world to the next.
The idea
The usual way is to choose a hall and fit the event to it. At Gavriel you can start from the evening you want, then decide where each part of it will take place.
The three venues share one complex. An event can take place in one of them, combine two, or use all 22 dunams.
An example evening
This is how an evening can move between the venues. It is one possibility among many, not a fixed route.
01
Guests arrive at the Bustan: open greenery, fruit trees and a pool, with places to sit and the light of late afternoon.
02
From the garden, everyone moves on to the chuppah, standing on the water. A few quiet minutes before the evening changes pace.
03
The doors open onto the Hangar: 1,400 sq m beneath an 11-metre ceiling, in a design built for this one evening. This is where everyone sits down to dinner.
04
After dinner the lighting shifts and the hall becomes a dance floor. The same place, an entirely different mood.
Large weddings
Gavriel is particularly well suited to large events. Rather than keeping every guest in one space from start to finish, the evening can be divided between several settings: each move brings fresh energy, and each space is designed to the scale of what happens in it.
All three venues are equipped with sound and lighting systems, and the team is beside you every step of the way.
Inspiration
Three albums set across the whole complex rather than in a single venue. This is what an evening looks like when it uses the entire place.
Venues: Hangar · Shulhan · Bustan
Mirrored spheres on the water, tablecloths in green velvet and in linen, and woven chairs among the greenery. The aisle to the chuppah is paved with mirrors and lined with white flowers; the pergola is wrapped in greenery. Also in the gallery: tables in blue and white beneath oversized lampshades.
Venues: Hangar · Shulhan · Bustan
A concept that spans the whole complex: a welcome reception in daylight with tall cocktail tables dressed in sage, a candlelit chuppah on the water beneath a green arch, and dinner in black and white under crystal chandeliers and hanging wreaths of gypsophila. Refined classicism, in the form of a ball.
Venues: Hangar · Shulhan · Bustan
A welcome reception on the lawn towards sunset, with white furniture, fringed sofas and white anthuriums. Then a flower-covered chuppah on the water by candlelight, and a hall in black and white beneath a ring of crystal chandeliers. A European-style gala that stays romantic.
Real events
A bar mitzvah that spread across all three venues, and a wedding that moved from the chuppah to dinner in the Hangar. Both were covered in the press.
A day-long bar mitzvah across all three venues: a Torah reading before a carved wooden backdrop, and a party in a blue space beneath glowing cloud sculptures.
A wedding spread across several spaces: a flower-covered chuppah between two pools, a lounge in the courtyard, and dinner in the Hangar, turned into a garden with a tree at its centre.
Cuisine
Even at a large event, the food remains a chef's cooking. Gavriel's kitchen is led by Chef David (Dudu) Elmakayes; in the Shulhan the kitchens are open and guests watch the cooking up close; and the menu is built in advance around the season and the event.
The next step
How many guests, what kind of celebration and when. We will check the date and suggest how to divide the evening between the venues.
