The corona vaccine is causing optimism among ballroom owners who have not yet returned to activity and among couples planning to get married soon.
These report that following the vaccination wedding invitations began, especially after the Omer count.
According to Noam Levy, Chairman of the Association of Owners of Halls and Ballrooms in Israel, "There is a good atmosphere and lively traffic in the offices of ballrooms.
Everyone believes that in May, after the beginning of the Omer count, everything will return to normal.
It started a little before the vaccines, and after the vaccines we got a good spirit and optimism that people want to move forward. "
However, Levy emphasizes, "Lag B'Omer goes out this year on April 30 and then the wedding season begins on May 1, but this has not been officially said.
It's a kind of thought from what we see to be okay by this date.
As mentioned, couples booked events for May, June and even September.
Some of them are waiting a year and a half for the wedding, but there are many new couples. "
Avi Ben-Hamo, the CEO and owner of the Troy Events Garden in Bnei Darom, also points to a slight awakening in orders.
Today we pay attention to the matter of advances.
People go back to doing events as usual.
"Whoever has a lot of friends must invite a lot of people, so the average remains the same and stands at 400 people."
David Gadz, the head chef and representative of the owner of the Gaia Events Garden at Beit Oved Junction, also talks about the demand these days.
"We now hold evening meetings twice a week and we reach 20-15 couples in the evening. Some come to impress and some close at the first meeting or ask to return immediately in the near future because they want to reserve the dates. There is finally light at the end of the tunnel."
Gadz also notes that prices could go up.
He said, "We are currently at a stage where we are maintaining our prices, but it's all a matter of supply and demand."
