Instead of texting your friend or the neighborhood chat, a new web tool called Where It’s At Now is offering a simple way for Chasunah guests to stay in the loop and know exactly where a wedding is holding.
Designed with convenience in mind, the platform gives guests a clear, easy-to-read snapshot of what stage the simcha has reached.
With a clean, mobile-friendly design, users can search for wedding halls and quickly see what’s going on — whether the oilam is still at the chuppah, enjoying the smorg, or already dancing. The site also allows guests to give a thumbs-up to events they’ve attended, adding a light, interactive touch to the experience.
To keep everything accurate and relevant, guests enable location sharing when using the interactive features. This helps the site confirm that users are actually at the venue, keeping the updates meaningful while maintaining privacy controls.
For many guests, weddings — especially larger ones — can sometimes bring a bit of uncertainty. Is the chuppah starting? Are they already holding by the seudah? Where It’s At Now aims to remove that guesswork by offering real-time awareness without the need for constant texts or phone calls.
While wedding planning tools have long helped couples organize invitations, seating, and schedules, this new platform focuses on something different: helping the oilam stay aligned throughout the day itself.
This would be very helpful if the chasunah halls in Lakewood ACTUALLY SHARED THE WIFI with the guests! Here you are, underground with barely any cell service, and we’re in the 21st century, when underground trains in NYC have internet and our Chasunah halls refuse to share their internet. I’m starting to think this was designed on purpose so your phone doesn’t go off during the Chuppah. But seriously! It will hamper this app if we can’t have a signal downstairs and then you have to climb the stairs just to let others know.
Just a thought.
But great idea, love it!
Am I reading correctly?
“underground trains in NYC”
At least once a week someone is shoved off the platform onto the tracks.
Please do not compare the wild jungle of NYC to a
מקום קדוש
like Lakewood.
What’s the difference between a שלום זכר & a Chasunah in Lakewood?
By a שלום זכר the guys are wearing Shabbos suits!
Super clever

”A picture is a thousand words.”
Generally, when an article is posted, the headline is accompanied by a picture that gives a snapshot of what the article is about, and between the headline and picture one can get an idea of what the article is going to he about. In this case, we are talking about a wedding – one of the holiest moments and experiences in Jewish life. What is the picture used to capture that idea? Confetti on the dance floor? Is that really what we’ve come to? Like there’s no other image that can capture our attention when discussing a wedding? I could go on and on, but maybe I should just be grateful that it was only confetti.
It’s time we set our priorities straight.
Smells like a security risk
I thought this was another Purim article lol
Finished the garlic bread and vegetable soup about two minutes ago. Eating the main course. Desert coming out in three and a half minutes. Tables to be cleared in 8 minutes and 27 seconds. Good luck.
