Some love stories begin at a bar. Others start online. Eva Noblezada and Reeve Carney’s began exactly where you would expect two Broadway stars to meet: in a rehearsal room, under strange lighting, singing about love long before they ever named it for themselves.
Years later, that same love story found its final act not on a stage, but in New Orleans, a city that understands music, drama, and celebration better than almost anywhere else. With newly released wedding photos capturing the full mood of the day, Eva and Reeve’s October 27, 2025 wedding feels less like a celebrity event and more like a carefully composed love letter to art, family, and the city that helped shape their relationship.
Eva Noblezada and Reeve Carney are not just theater people, they are theater theater people.
Eva is best known for originating the role of Eurydice in Hadestown, earning multiple Tony nominations and becoming one of Broadway’s most celebrated leading ladies. Reeve, a musician and actor, originated the role of Orpheus in the same production, anchoring the show’s emotional core. Their onstage chemistry famously translated into real life, making them one of Broadway’s most quietly beloved couples.
Their relationship unfolded alongside international theater runs, long rehearsals, and shared creative lives, which made their wedding feel like a natural continuation rather than a dramatic pivot.
New Orleans was not a trendy destination pick. It was deeply personal.
Reeve had spent years performing in the city and had long wanted to show Eva the version of New Orleans he knew best. When they finally visited together in 2021, the timing coincidentally aligned with the anniversary of the day they met. Within hours of arriving, the couple felt something click. This was not just a place they loved, it was a place that felt symbolic of their journey.
Even before they were officially engaged, they were already referring to their future wedding as a “celebration,” and New Orleans became shorthand for that vision. By the time the proposal happened in London years later, the city had already claimed its role in their story.
They chose Hotel Peter & Paul in the Marigny district, a restored 19th-century church and schoolhouse turned boutique hotel. The venue perfectly balanced old-world romance with New Orleans soul, making it feel dramatic without being stiff.
The appeal was not just aesthetic. The idea of hosting their loved ones in a space where the ceremony, party, and hotel rooms existed within steps of each other fit the couple’s vision of a wedding that felt communal, immersive, and joy-forward rather than overly formal.
Reeve’s wedding look was not newly commissioned. It was destiny, stored in a garment bag.
Years earlier, while working on Penny Dreadful, he wore an ivory Italian tuxedo designed by Gabriella Pescucci. He loved it so much that he kept it, half-joking that he would wear it to his wedding someday. Eva knew about the tuxedo early in their relationship and actively encouraged him to wear it, even choosing her gown with it in mind.
Eva’s bridal look leaned vintage, ethereal, and Southern Gothic. She selected a Saint Bridal Couture gown with a dramatic train and soft, romantic structure that matched the chapel’s interiors and the mood of the city. Rather than over-styling, she grounded the look with thoughtful, personal touches, many sourced through secondhand platforms and unexpected finds.
The result was fashion that felt intentional rather than performative, theatrical without trying too hard.
Music was never going to be an afterthought.
The ceremony and reception were scored by New Orleans musicians and string ensembles, blending classical arrangements, Broadway nods, and deeply personal selections. Eva surprised Reeve by walking down the aisle to a song he wrote, performed live by his brother, a moment that reportedly left few dry eyes in the room.
Their officiant was a close friend from the theater world, reinforcing the idea that this wedding was built on chosen family as much as tradition.
No New Orleans wedding is complete without a second-line parade.
Following the ceremony, Eva and Reeve led their guests through the streets with a brass band, champagne, and parasols in hand. It was celebratory without being chaotic, theatrical without being staged, and undeniably New Orleans.
The night unfolded with Louisiana-forward food, candlelit tables, dancing that stretched late into the evening, and a cake that leaned vintage rather than flashy. Every element pointed back to the same idea: this was not about spectacle, it was about joy.
Eva Noblezada and Reeve Carney’s wedding did not feel like a performance for the internet. It felt like two artists choosing a setting that could hold the full weight of their story.
In a city built on music, memory, and celebration, they found a place that understood them. And in doing so, they reminded us that the best weddings are not about trends or timelines, but about choosing a location, a mood, and a moment that feels unmistakably yours.
