“A Dream Wedding at Margeaux Supper Parlor We hosted our engagement party turned wedding at Margeaux Supper Parlor, and it was pure magic. From the moment we stepped inside, we were blown away by the beauty of the space - especially the bar, which created the most stunning backdrop for photos we’ll cherish forever. Rebekah, the owner, and her incredible team thought of everything. From a custom, dairy-free menu (which was so important to me) to specialty passed cocktails and thoughtful service throughout, not a single detail was missed. The private oasis room was the perfect retreat for a quiet moment together during the celebration and added such a personal touch to the evening. And yes, we even sabered champagne! Whether it’s a bridal shower, engagement party, or wedding, we can’t recommend Margeaux enough. It’s a truly special place run by truly special people.”

“Joseph and Erika played a huge part in how special our wedding day was. We genuinely enjoyed every single part of working with them, from the beginning stages including them hearing our vision and vibe for the wedding, during the planning and using the app which made outlining our event and plans so easy, to the event itself where they really engaged all of our guests and got the party going. Even though we had a brunch wedding, Joseph and Erika helped it feel like we were "dancing the night away!" We had so many of our guests immediately after the wedding and for weeks after comment on what talented and amazing musicians Joseph and Erika are and how fun they helped to make our reception. We loved that they included both live renditions of all of our favorite songs as well as had a killer DJ playlist. Definitely don't miss out on the sing along songs. This duo is so easy to work with and they were so gracious when we fumbled a little on the timing of our event and added an additional hour only to their set only weeks before the wedding. All to say, we are just so grateful we found Joseph and Erika! They are gems.”

He read the room perfectly, keeping the vibe fun and upbeat early in the evening, and then seamlessly transitioning into a full-blown club experience just like we asked. What really sets this company apart is how well they prepare. Their website asks thoughtful, detailed questions ahead of time, which made the day-of experience completely stress-free.

Cookie cutter weddings are OUT, friends. Time for big feelings, small weddings and a celebration that’s uniquely yours.

With world-class vocals and a 3-piece horn section, we deliver a wall-to-wall rallying cry to the dance floor that won't be ignored.

“PK and the Mighty Seven was THEE best band for our wedding. We had initially seen them play at porchfest and have gone back to see them each year since. They always draw a massive crowd and they kill it every time. For our wedding we considered getting a DJ for a second but boy are we glad we didn’t. PK brought the heat and they worth every penny. Leading up to the wedding, Matt was great to work with. We had a few calls prior to the wedding to plan songs, and we were able to give some definite YESs and NOs based on their extensive song list. They have great Motown, funk, and pop classics on their list, but they also did fantastic renditions of our pop-punk and ska requests. Matt was super responsive and coordinated with the venue about their logistics. During the wedding itself they brought fantastic energy, and know how to read a room. As (amateur) musicians, they even let us come up to play a song with them which was the most special moment and topped everything off. All around, 11 out of 10. Great to work with, professional, and absolutely rock!”

“Maeghan was so helpful and patient with us not knowing what we were doing and changing our minds throughout the planning phases. When I had questions I could always count on her getting back to me within a day, often the same day. The staff that were on site the day of the wedding were phenomenal; professional, kind, and EFFICIENT. I didn't get a chance to interact with them too much as I was losing my mind most of the day. We arrived late to the venue and they were already there; had tidied up the things we'd left out from setup the night before and were setting tables for us. They kept things running smoothly the whole day and went well beyond what I expected for clean up. I was too wound up and anxious to eat at all, but the guests all said the food was excellent. The only complaint I have is that clean-up may have been TOO efficient, we had to go hunting for boxes afterwards! :)”

She crafts meaningful, personalized wedding ceremonies for couples of all backgrounds - Jewish, interfaith, non-religious, queer, poly, and beyond. Whether you want something simple or symbolic, she will collaborate with you to make it feel deeply “you.” She brings care, clarity, and joy to every celebration and believes your love deserves to be honored with intention.

Awarded Best of Zola
“Rabbi Noyo is the best! Hire her now. More context: We hired Rabbi Noyo to officiate our interfaith wedding in September 2024. We wanted to add some jewish elements to our wedding but did not know what our options were beyond breaking the glass and the Chuppah. Rabbi Noyo was understanding and patient with us - she took the time to really get to know me and now husband, our history, what we love about one another, etc. She also encouraged us to have important, difficult conversations leading up to the wedding, which she cleverly coined as 'pillow talk'. This helped strengthen our bond and us feel completely secure and ready for our upcoming nuptials. In additional to these sessions, Rabbi Noyo also took the time to explain the various elements that could be incorporated leading up to and during the ceremony, the significance behind them, and even provided information on where to learn more/buy items. She never pressured us or made us feel badly for skipping ceremony components and even provided alternative language for blessings that felt more like us. She also provided input on our program, reviewed our vows, and even had printed copies ready for us during the ceremony. Rabbi Noyo made our wedding ceremony truly perfect. Her words during the ceremony were BEAUTIFUL, heartfelt, and funny. She knew the little things that mattered (including setting expectations ahead of the ceremony, moving to the side for the kiss, etc.) and helped everyone feel so comfortable. She gave clear instructions to the guests and helped make sure that the special moments worked seamlessly. She encouraged our love to shine through and facilitated an absolutely gorgeous ceremony. Our guests are even still talking about how amazing the Rabbi was and asking where to find her. Rabbi Noyo made our wedding exactly the way we wanted it to be, and I know she will do the same for you. Hire her! You will not regret it :)”

“We had such a great experience working with Sugar Sparks Bakery for our wedding cake. From our first conversation, the team was responsive and genuinely excited to help us bring our vision to life. They nailed the design by coordinating with our florist to decorate the cake with fresh florals that matched our inspiration photo perfectly. What really impressed us was how thoughtful they were about my gluten sensitivity they made me two separate tasting boxes so I could sample their regular and gluten-free options, which made me feel so included in the planning process. The cake itself was delicious and looked stunning in our photos. We'd definitely recommend Sugar Sparks Bakery to any couple looking for a baker who listens, cares, and delivers beautiful, tasty results.”

“Having been to many ATOC parties, I knew they would be the perfect entertainment fit for our wedding. They were our first call after we locked down a venue and ATOC did not disappoint. Throughout the planning process, Ken was so helpful and responsive. My expectations were high and ATOC smashed it out of the park. Our dance floor was packed ALL night (thank you, TJ!!) , the uplighting was gorgeous, and the Photo Booth, manned by Heather, was such a hit — we have more than 400 images. We can’t wait to see our “speed photo” results — be sure to ask Ken about it for your wedding! We have received so many compliments about our wedding — it was so much fun and our guests are raving. Thank you, ATOC, for helping us plan the party of the year!”

I have not had so much fun dancing since my own wedding. And Irene made it all happen with great communication and thorough organization. Such a pleasure to work with.”

“My wife and I chose to elope prior to the administration change, on January 18, 2025. We were amazed at the number of venders offering free or discounted elopement services prior to January 20th for couples in our position, and Julian was an immediate favorite. Their flower arrangements are absolutely gorgeous and they are just a genuinely delightful human being! We didn't need much - just a bouquet and boutonniere and a request for some loose baby's breath for my hair, and Julian delivered more than we hoped for! We loved the colors and the arrangement, but more importantly, given the complex emotions around why we upped our wedding date to elope prior to 1/20, it was Julian's infectious joy, support, and celebratory sentiments shared with us that truly made the experience perfect! Highly recommend and will definitely be using Julian again for any and all of our flower needs!! Thank you!!”
