Marjie & Simon
Wedding Party
Colleen Hochberger
Matron of Honor
Colleen is Marjie's younger sister, so they met when Marjie was just shy of two years old. Initial adventures living in Japan, Hong Kong, and Australia gave way to them choosing to go to Skidmore College, then live in NYC, and they both currently reside in California. She's thrilled to have her built-in best friend by her side on her wedding day.
Kathy Hochberger
Maid of Honor
Kathy is Marjie's youngest sister and her other built-in lifelong best friend. Marjie has been thrilled to experience life's milestones with Kathy, as her thoughtfulness is unmatched, and her sense of humor has kept Marjie laughing for decades. Marjie is honored to have Kathy by her side for this special day!
Mackenzie Ginsburg
Bridesmaid
Marjie and Mackenzie met on day one at Skidmore College and became fast friends, bonding over their love of literary analysis as they both majored in English (ok, maybe their love of partying, too). Since then they've been roommates in multiple homes together from Saratoga Springs to Brooklyn.
Betsy Stavis
Bridesmaid
Marjie's cousin who was born a mere three months before her has often felt like her twin or older sister. From three-legged races on Massachusetts beaches in their youth to visiting each other's colleges, to many road trips between NY and MA as working professionals, they've been in lockstep through all of life's chapters.
Aly Singer
Bridesmaid
Although they didn't meet until she transferred to Skidmore College their sophomore year, Marjie often forgets she and Aly haven't been friends for all of their college years. Aly's empathy knows no bounds, and even after spending their 20s together in NY and Marjie moved to LA, Aly still finds the time to chat on the phone with her from across the country for up to three hours at a time.
Sydney Whalen
Bridesmaid
Through an introduction by a mutual friend, Sydney became Marjie's roommate for a few years while living in Brooklyn after college. They found themselves canceling weekend plans more than once to stay in, watch movies, and laugh endlessly. Forever bonding over their shared love of the film/television industry, she eventually joined Marjie in Los Angeles where their shenanigans have continued.
Katie Renner
Bridesmaid
Katie and Marjie have been friends since Marjie moved from Australia to MA and started at Weston Middle School. From pop-punk concerts during their Good Charlotte fandom to Katie's wedding in France, she's one of Marjie's oldest childhood friends. Marjie is so grateful that she and Katie have experienced life's many phases together - even the awkward teen skater/punk one.
Allison Ramsey
Bridesmaid
Marjie's coworker in NY who went to college with Allison in TX connected them on a group text encouraging them to hang out when Marjie moved to LA and the rest is history. Unsurprisingly, they've also bonded over working in the entertainment industry and swapping movie recommendations. Over the years they've cheered each other on and gossiped about their developing relationships as they each met their significant others on the dating app Hinge in LA.
Daniel Botero-Lopez
Best Man
Simon met Dan at the Salesforce office in Santa Monica, and the two instantly hit it off, building a fast and enduring friendship. Together, they’ve shared incredible adventures, from canoeing through the Black Canyon of the Colorado River to witnessing the magic of Dead and Company at the Sphere in Las Vegas. Dan’s energy and ability to make every experience unforgettable are just a few of the reasons Simon is proud to have him as his Co-Best Man on this special day.
Zac Cann
Best Man
Zac has been in Simon’s life since their days at Albert Street Middle School. Bonded by a shared love of rap music and football, they’ve created countless memories together, including an unforgettable trip to Saint John to see 50 Cent and G-Unit live in concert—a story that still brings them plenty of laughs. Though life keeps them from seeing each other as often as they’d like, every reunion feels as if no time has passed, a testament to their lifelong friendship.
Lucas Schulman
Groomsman
Lucas and Simon first became friends after being introduced at a mutual friend’s wedding, only to realize they were neighbors in Marina Del Rey. This connection sparked a strong friendship that has only grown over time. Lucas also attended Skidmore College with Marjie, adding another layer to their bond. One of their favorite pasttimes has been attending LAFC games together, enjoying the electric atmosphere of professional soccer in Los Angeles.
Ryan Barrie
Groomsman
Simon and Ryan have been friends since high school, building a bond over their shared love of music. Together, they’ve attended multiple Pearl Jam and Red Hot Chili Peppers concerts. Whenever they get together, their time is filled with constant laughter and great stories. Some of their most epic adventures include road trips to Quebec City. Barrie’s humor and unwavering friendship make him an integral part of Simon’s life and this special day.
Rohan Cass
Groomsman
Simon and Rohan first crossed paths at Salesforce in Santa Monica, where they quickly bonded over their shared experience of immigrating to the US for work. Both navigating similar experiences in a new country, their friendship grew strong from the start. Rohan’s generosity, insight, and sense of humor have made him a close friend and a trusted presence in Simon’s life.
Andy Hochberger
Groomsman
Andy is Marjie’s younger brother. Simon has loved getting to know Andy over the years, appreciating his humor, kindness, and the bond they’ve built through family gatherings. Having Andy by his side as a groomsman is incredibly meaningful, and Simon couldn’t imagine celebrating this special day without him.
