Washington Hebrew Congregation is delighted to bring back our Simcha Fair — a vibrant, one-stop celebration showcase designed to help you dream big, plan smart, and meet the very best in the event world. Mark your calendars for Sunday, January 25, when we once again open our doors to an exciting lineup of expert vendors ready to help you create an unforgettable milestone moment.
Whether you are planning a b’nei mitzvah, wedding, birthday party, anniversary celebration, or any meaningful gathering, the Simcha Fair offers a fun and efficient way to explore your options. This year’s event features an outstanding mix of event planners, caterers, DJs, entertainers, décor designers, photographers, videographers, and more — many of whom have extensive experience working with WHC families and hosting events in our own spaces (including the newly refreshed Edlavitch Hall at Temple). If you are considering a celebration at Washington Hebrew, this is the perfect opportunity to get a sense of what is possible.
The best part? You can make remarkable progress on your event in just one afternoon. Talk directly with seasoned professionals, ask questions, compare ideas, and collect materials to help guide you through next steps. The fair is designed to be welcoming and accessible for every member of your planning team — bring your children after Religious School, invite relatives or friends who are helping coordinate your wedding, or come on your own for an engaging and inspiring afternoon.
To make the experience even more fun, the Simcha Fair includes great food samples from our caterers, lively music, raffles, games, and a comfortable lounge where you can take a break and soak in the excitement. It’s a high-energy, family-friendly environment that makes planning feel less like a chore and more like the celebration it should be.
Pre-register and you will receive an extra raffle ticket — because planning your simcha should come with a few extra joys along the way. We can’t wait to help you start creating something wonderful!
