The Labor Day weekend was sizzling with love, music, and a whole lot of dancing, thanks to Ben Platt and Noah Galvin’s unforgettable wedding festivities across Brooklyn and Lower Manhattan.
This wasn’t just any wedding, though—this was the kind of ceremony where gay magic, Broadway charm, and family warmth all came together in perfect harmony.
Now, I know what some of you may be thinking: “Didn’t these two Broadway heartthrobs meet when Noah took over Ben’s iconic lead role in Dear Evan Hansen?”
It does make for a juicy rom-com premise, but let’s rewind for a moment.
Ben and Noah’s story actually started long before that—way back in 2014, when Noah was working on a web series and asked Ben to play a quirky cactus-loving roommate who had a soft spot for Josh Groban.
Little did they know, that tiny web series filmed in Noah’s mom’s apartment would be the first step toward one of the most talked-about gay weddings of 2024.
Fast forward to January 2020, when they finally started dating, followed by a proposal two years later that gave us serious Bachelorette vibes—complete with candlelight, an intimate dinner, and live music from Labi Siffre.
It was a quintessential Ben and Noah moment, all cozy, creative, and low-key extravagant.
They both ended up proposing to each other, because why settle for one swoon-worthy engagement when you can have two?
This past Labor Day weekend, after nearly 18 months of planning (and way too many Pinterest boards), Ben and Noah finally said “I do” in a stylish affair that was anything but traditional, Vogue reports.
The couple kicked off the weekend with a Shabbat dinner at the Angel Orensanz Foundation on the Lower East Side, easing into the celebrations with family and friends.
Shabbat may have delayed the actual ceremony to Sunday, but that didn’t stop them from throwing a Saturday night pizza party at Cellar Dog, complete with games and plenty of West Village charm.

Finally, on Sunday, the main event took place at the artsy Pioneer Works in Red Hook, Brooklyn.
While Noah joked about no one taking the IKEA ferry to get there, the mood was pure Brooklyn chic.
Under a marigold chuppah, surrounded by a crowd of friends and family (Ben and Noah nixed the idea of formal seating—this wedding was a hug from start to finish), the pair exchanged vows with the help of Ben’s longtime rabbi, David Wolpe.
And in a tear-jerking touch, the dance floor they later tore up was actually an abstract painting by Noah’s father, Austin Galvin, who passed away last year.
Both Ben and Noah’s families were deeply involved in the ceremony, with the siblings serenading everyone with the Bee Gees’ “To Love Somebody” and their moms surprising the grooms with a sweet duet of a traditional Jewish wedding song.
(Yes, there were many tears, and maybe even some sweat—Ben himself admitted they were both emotionally overheated from the sheer joy of it all!)
Fashion, of course, was a huge part of the weekend.
Ben and Noah made it clear they weren’t about to fall into the typical matching outfits trap.
On Friday, they opted for head-to-toe navy Thom Browne, with Ben leaning a little bridal in a kilt, while Noah played it cool with a cropped suit.
By Sunday’s ceremony, both were sporting custom cream-colored ensembles inspired by 1950s and 1970s aesthetics—because what’s a gay wedding without a nod to some serious style icons?
Jared Ellner, their close friend and stylist, made sure every look was flawless, from start to finish.
The night’s real showstopper? Muna took the stage for a surprise concert, and let’s just say, the crowd lost it when Noah’s brother Adrian joined them for a rendition of “Silk Chiffon.”
If that wasn’t enough, the party kept going with a DJ set, dancing, and of course, a post-reception stop at Sunny’s bar for Shake Shack and a Broadway-style singalong (cue Marie’s Crisis vibes!) that carried on until they were gently escorted out at 3 a.m.
Ben and Noah’s wedding was exactly what you’d expect from two theater darlings who’ve made their relationship a beautiful extension of the communities they’ve always celebrated.
It was personal, artistic, and above all, a joyful testament to their love. The weekend was filled with warmth, queer joy, and endless dancing—just as they’d hoped.
As Noah perfectly summed it up, “We’re still floating. And mostly we’re just happy we get to keep hanging out forever.”
Ben added, “Our greatest hope was to give everyone a low-stress, joyful weekend full of warmth and a window into our life—and we think all missions were accomplished!”
Couldn’t agree more. Mazel tov, boys!
