Our Story Discover

My name is Rebecca Sussman and I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself, as there have recently been some changes in ownership at My Kitchen.

My husband, Yvan Lemoine, and I have both worked in the restaurant industry in different capacities for many years; Yvan as a chef and restaurant owner who has been on several Food Network Shows such as Chopped and Food Network Star, and I have managed different properties for Tao Group in Manhattan for over 10 years.

My Kitchen weddings are as intimate or as lively as you’d like them to be. We are at your Service and will help with every aspect. Our backyard is a perfect setting for Ceremonies or Cocktail.

Schedule an appointment with your other half and come in to see if we’ll be a perfect fit for you.

We ❤ Instagram! Follow our Instagram by jumping ahead to our Weddings searching hashtag #WeddingsinMyKitchen

Our heart breaks as we learned of the passing of our dear friend, wonderful human, and incredible DJ, Marlon Morris @dj23mm . Marlon has been the master of ceremonies for many events here at My Kitchen. From proms to weddings, he was always a ball of joy and laughter, bringing everyone together to dance and celebrate life. If you have an upcoming event where Marlon was your selected choice, please reach out to us and we will help to make other arrangements. We pray for his family during this very difficult time. 🙏 With Love, Yvan, Rebecca and the My Kitchen team💚
