Question: Can I get married during the Days of Awe, between Rosh HaShana and Yom Kippur?

Answer: Generally speaking there is no prohibition against getting married during the Ten Days of Awe, between Rosh HaShana and Yom Kippur.

However, please speak with your rabbi for a final decision. Often synagogues are reluctant to have weddings during this busy period because the "set-up" for the High Holy Days affects almost every room of the building.
