Noce - Jazz Cabaret Reviews

It was an absolute thrill to have our wedding reception (~75 guests; 07/08/2023) at Backstage at Noce. From our first impressions on the tour all the way til clean-up the night of our wedding, the service we received was impeccable, genuine, and classy.

We booked our reception ~6 months in advance of our event and had no problem with availability, even though it was during the busy months of July/August. To be safe, I’d advise booking at least 6-9 months in advance for a large event. Their event coordinator/manager, Napoleon Douglas, was so, so, so good to us. He helped us get many details sorted ahead of time which really helped put us and our families at ease.

Leading up to the event, there were some unfortunate timing/booking conflicts and we weren’t able to rent out the venue the night before to decorate. Fortunately, Napoleon and the staff at Noce more than compensated for the inconvenience by allowing our family members/helpers to come in and decorate in the morning.

The A/V system, which we used for our “special dances” and toasts, worked perfectly and Noce set it all up for us. They simply asked for the Spotify playlist, gave us a mic, and then they made sure the rest worked perfectly.

All the tables, table cloths, chairs, and lights Noce provided were high-quality and extremely classy. The greenery and candles we brought in complimented their décor perfectly, creating a surreal, classy, and formal atmosphere. Noce has a beautiful black grand piano in the backstage that they tuned for us and allowed us to use free of charge. We hired a jazz pianist to play for the whole night, Nate Sparks—who was absolutely incredible. The ambiance was literally perfect; we felt like were in a movie the whole night.

Napoleon, the bar tender, and all the staff at Noce were so professional and extraordinarily helpful. Throughout the night it seemed like if you needed a staff member, they were there, but if you didn’t, they were no where in sight. We’ve rarely felt so well attended to. There were a number of times during the evening where an announcement needed to be made and Napoleon immediately stepped up to make the announcement and direct our guests as needed. Even at the end of the night, when Noce’s bar needed to be paid, and my wife and I were running very low on energy and patience, Noce’s staff remained professional, kind, understanding, and patient.

My wife and I are both engineers and we definitely plan things meticulously. But even the best planners get things wrongs and something will go wrong on your big day. Do yourself a favor and let Noce host your event so when things inevitably go awry, Noce’s professionalism and class will ensure your guests have no idea anything’s wrong. Honestly, you’d be hard-pressed to find a classier venue with more genuinely loving and professional staff than Noce.

Can I give Noce 10 out of 5 stars? Kristen, Noce's event coordinator, is organized, gracious and boundlessly hospitable. She quite literally *saved* our wedding. I can't recommend her, and Noce, enough.

This venue was perfect for our wedding. We used the backstage for the ceremony and dinner, and the front/main room for cocktail hour. Kristen was great to work with, and the day went off without a hitch.

The only thing to plan for if you choose this venue for your ceremony is that there is not a good getting ready space— so you have to get ready elsewhere and then hang out in the green room (which was a bit tight) before the ceremony.

We had our wedding and reception here in October. We did reduce our guest list to be in compliance with the governor's 50% capacity but it worked out perfectly. The backroom was so romantic and the bartender was amazing! Kristen was a dream to work with even when we switched up things closer to the day. She was so sweet and even scheduled extra meetings so we could walk through all our questions regarding the pandemic and how to proceed. Even brought me orange juice right before I walked down the aisle cause I was feeling faint,seriously she's the best! If you are looking for a smaller, more intimate location for a wedding, I would HIGHLY recommend you check out Noce. We had our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception all there and it was wonderful! Wouldn't change a thing... Except I myself would communicate more with my set up people lol sort of forgot to do that so that is my bad but I had no idea until after the fact!

We recently had our wedding at Noce on 5/6/23 and had a magical day! We loved Noce for it’s unique decor and urban look and rented out both the mainstage and backstage areas for our event. The staff was amazing and helped our wedding go off without a hitch! Several of our guests remarked about how cool the venue was and how great the staff was.
They were super accommodating in letting us make the event our own and were available for walk-throughs and questions throughout our wedding planning process. We would definitely recommend Noce as a wedding location!

Napoleon was our "go to" guy and he was EXCELLENT. He worked so hard and was so kind! Everything was handled perfectly and I was planning from South Carolina! I would definitely recommend this venue for a wedding and rehearsal dinner, and ceremony.
