Friday Noon Events

Celebrate Friday in daylight, before the start of Shabbat

An event that starts at noon and ends on time to get home for Shabbat: beach atmosphere, natural light, kosher chef menu and20 to 250 guests at the cliff beach in Tel Aviv.

Friday afternoon is one of the most pleasant dates for an event in Israel, and it is actually the least utilized. Guests arrive relaxed after a week of work, the light is natural, there is no need to return to the office, and the event ends early enough to settle in for a relaxing Shabbat. In Mandarin, whose compound is closed on Saturday, Friday afternoon became a particularly sought-after date. The hall is located on Tzuk Beach in north Tel Aviv, minutes from Herzliya and Ramat Hasharon, and is suitable for an event of 20 to 250 guests - a boutique wedding, brit, brit, bar and bat mitzvah, a round birthday or a family event.

Why Friday Noon

This time saves guests the entire evening: they come, celebrate a few good hours, and get home before Shabbat. Families with small children especially like it, as there is no event that ends at midnight. Guests who travel remotely also earn - a day trip, not a night trip. In practice, we see that the arrival rate in Friday afternoon events is higher than in midweek events in the evening, which is exactly why this is a great time for anyone who cares about having all the guests arrive.

A schedule that ends on time for Shabbat

We have the usual framework: a reception around 12: 00-12: 30, a main meal or buffet chef, a ceremony or speeches in the middle, and an early termination adapted to the time of entry of Shabbat in the season. Winter is early, summer can take longer-we build the exact schedule with you by the date. Staff start work early in the morning, so even an event that starts at noon gets an active kitchen, ready-made design, and deliberate amplification before the first guest enters.

Friday Noon Wedding and Ceremonial Events

A Friday noon wedding is a growing option: a daylight canopy, photoshoot in natural light off the coastline, and a celebration that ends before Shabbat. We produce a canopy inside the hall or on the balcony, regardless of rain or heat, and coordinate the ceremony with the rabbi and the photographer. The brit, the brit, the zebed of the daughter and the redemption of the sixth son at noon is also a natural time - the guests are available, the children are awake, and the event is short and focused.

Kosher day event chef menu

For an afternoon event, we build easier menus: mezets, salads, fish, personal dishes and chef's stations, in a meat or dairy version, all in a kosher kitchen under supervision. Those who prefer a full seating meal are given a neat menu in the middle of the table. Vegetarians, vegans, and guests with allergies prepare separate dishes in advance, and the children have their own menu.

Beach vibe, free parking, and business license

The complex sits on the cliff beach and brings with it a real beach atmosphere - light, air and a sense of freedom. It is important to be precise: there is no sea view from within the hall itself, but the proximity to the beach is noticeable from the moment of arrival. The parking lot is adjacent to the entrance, large and free of charge. The hall has a valid business license, safety certificates and access to trolleys and wheelchairs, and the hall itself is defined as a protected space.

Location

The heart of north Tel Aviv — Tzuk Beach

The venue is located at 21 Yonichman St., inside the Mandarin Hotel complex on Tzuk Beach — a location that makes an impression from the very first moment. Easy access from all of Gush Dan and the Sharon, a large private parking lot free for all guests, and proximity to the beach that creates an unforgettable atmosphere.

Frequently asked questions

What time does the Friday afternoon event start?

Usually between 12:00 and 12:30, but we adjust the start time to the Shabbat entry time of the season and the nature of the event.

When does the event end?

The ending was set so that guests would have a comfortable time to get home before Shabbat begins-winter earlier and summer later.

Can we have a wedding on Friday afternoon?

Absolutely, and this is one of our most requested dates. A canopy in daylight inside the hall or on the balcony, photographs in natural light and a celebration that ends before Shabbat.

Is the place closed on Shabbat?

Yes. The complex does not operate on Shabbat, so Friday afternoon and Saturday night events are the main dates on the weekend.

How many guests can we invite?

Between 20 and 250 guests. Both spaces allow for a small intimate event or a larger celebration in the same venue.

Is the menu kosher?

Yes, a kosher kitchen under supervision with the option of rabbinic or Mehadrin kashrut, with a meat or dairy menu of your choice.

What about the alliance or its alliance on Friday?

Great time. Kitchen is active from early morning, there is a private room for mother and baby, Elijah chair and a ceremonial table.

Is there parking for guests?

Yes, a large parking lot is adjacent to the entrance and free of charge, so guests arriving at Friday rush hour are also quick to enter.

Can you see the sea from inside the hall?

No. The hall is located on the cliff beach and the beach atmosphere is felt on arrival and outside, but there is no sea view out of the hall space.

Is the event also suitable for companies?

Yes. A year-end dinner, appreciation event, or team meeting on Friday afternoon is a convenient format that doesn't take up employees' evenings.
