About

Under NEW OWNERSHIP

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.

Perfect wedding venue for us

We recently hosted our wedding reception at My Kitchen Forest Hills with about fifty guests, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish.

From our first visit, my husband and I knew this was the perfect venue for us. The space is both elegant and inviting, and we were confident that Chef Yvan’s cuisine would impress our guests — and it absolutely did.

A heartfelt thank you to Rebecca, Chef Yvan and the team — the food was outstanding, and the service was superb. The cocktail hour menu was a hit with our guests and dinner selections (we went with the buffet) were tasty and memorable. Guests still rave about how good the drinks were also.

The entire team was professional, attentive, and made us feel truly valued. Their seamless coordination allowed us to relax and enjoy every moment with our loved ones, which meant so much to us.

What stood out most was the venue’s flexibility and willingness to accommodate our requests. They collaborated with us to ensure every detail reflected our vision, creating a truly personalized celebration.

Overall, we could not be happier with our experience at My Kitchen. We highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for an intimate, budget-friendly, and elegant wedding venue. It exceeded our expectations for our special day.

Thank you, My Kitchen! - from a very happy couple

We celebrated our October 2024 wedding at My Kitchen, and they exceeded all our expectations! My Kitchen offers both indoor and outdoor spaces, making it perfect for any season. The food was absolutely delicious, and the staff was incredibly attentive. The owners, Rebecca and Yvan, and their team were so helpful and accommodating from start to finish.
It can be hard to choose the perfect wedding venue and at first, we weren’t sure what to expect. But after our tour, we knew this was the place for us. The outdoor patio area was intimate, warm, and beautiful! We rented space heaters in case, but we didn’t end up needing a tent - though My Kitchen can rent a tent if needed. We had the reception outside, with string lights hanging above. It created such a magical atmosphere as the sun set, and the lights added the perfect touch.
We had about 40 guests and there was definitely enough space for all of us. Even though parking was limited, guests were able to easily find street parking in the surrounding residential area even on a Saturday night.
Overall, we highly recommend this venue - beautiful space, exceptional professionals, and amazing service!

We would book them again in a heart beat!

We held my sisters bridal shower here and we couldn't have been happier! Rebecca and Yvan were there every step of the way, making the entire process so easy. Day of, the staff was so incredible, attentive, and professional (even with our tensions running high decorating before the bride arrived haha). The food was delicious and the space itself is gorgeous. I'd highly recommend them!!

The BEST venue ever!!!

I cannot speak highly enough of Rebecca, Yvan and everyone at My Kitchen. My husband and I had our long overdue wedding celebration here on Saturday and it was absolutely a dream. Rebecca is an all star and was amazing from start to finish. The communication and attention to detail was 10/10 and I felt super safe in her hands. Yvan smashed it out of the park with the food, I have never heard so many rave reviews from our friends and family in my life. Most importantly, they are so kind. Everyone was unbelievably impressed, I would host another event with them in a heartbeat and hope someone else does so I can go back!!!

Yomara and Jeffrey Wedding

Rebecca and Yvon exceeded all our expectations and left us in awe! When we embarked on the journey of finding the perfect wedding venue, we encountered numerous overpriced options with owners who seemed indifferent to our needs. However, with Rebecca and Yvon, this was not the case. From the very beginning, Rebecca displayed a genuine investment in making our special day truly magical. As for Yvon, he took on the role of a master chef, pouring his heart and soul into creating a culinary experience that felt like a once-in-a-lifetime event.

The venue they provided left all our guests amazed, and the food Yvon crafted left everyone's taste buds in ecstasy. We will forever cherish the memories of our extraordinary day, and it wouldn't have been possible without the incredible service we received from these wonderful hosts. Rebecca's attentiveness and dedication matched our own, making us feel valued and cared for every step of the way. And Yvon's culinary expertise was nothing short of exceptional; his passion for cooking shone through in every delicious bite.

Our wedding became an unforgettable event, thanks to Rebecca and Yvon's unwavering commitment and personalized approach. We are eternally grateful to them for making our dream wedding a reality. If you want a truly remarkable wedding experience filled with heartfelt care, attention to detail, and mouthwatering delicacies, we wholeheartedly recommend Rebecca and Yvon as the perfect duo to turn your special day into an enchanting and memorable affair.

Baby Shower

We celebrated my daughter’s baby shower at My Kitchen yesterday. The event was wonderful from beginning to end! Rebecca met with us to plan the event and Yvan worked with us to plan a Vegan menu. The food was delicious and the staff attended to our every need! A big shout out to David for being there to help me carry heavy gifts, move tables and find solutions to last minute issues. The entire staff was very professional. I highly recommend My Kitchen for your next event!

Our Reception at My Kitchen was amazing!

My Kitchen restaurant when above and beyond to make our wedding reception a beautiful stress free time ❤️. To this day all of our 30 guests rave about the food and how great the service was. We're so glad we went with my kitchen for our reception. Definitely memories to last a lifetime. (Plus they even took photos and videos of our evening without even asking. 🥲🥲) Rebecca and Ivan truly are the kindest people and will go above and beyond for you on your special day ❤️ Thank you again Rebecca, Ivan and the rest of the My Kitchen team ☺️

Absolutely Perfect for our Wedding Day!

From start to finish, My Kitchen was the BEST decision we made for our wedding day. With only about 2 months to plan, both Rebecca and Yvan were awesome. Between Rebecca’s detailed event planning skills and Yvan’s outstanding cooking, our wedding was an absolute hit! We had about 90 people and had our ceremony in the backyard area and dinner in the main dining space. We enjoy the fluidity of the space where our guests could enjoy the inside bar or come outside under the tent for dancing. Throughout the night, Rebecca continually checked in with us, asking us if there was anything we needed. The staff was attentive, the food was great, and ultimately My Kitchen ensured our day was perfect. We cannot thank them enough for the attention and care they put into our wedding day. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for an intimate space for your special day. Thank you so much Rebecca, Yvan, and the rest of the My Kitchen team!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
