Ben PlattandNoah Galvinhave tied the knot.

The actors, who have both played the lead inDear Evan Hansenon Broadway, married on Sunday, Sept. 1, at Pioneer Works in Red Hook, Brooklyn, according toVogue. The couple’s celebration kicked off on Friday night with a Shabbat welcome dinner at the Angel Orensanz Foundation on the Lower East Side.

“Since some of Ben’s family are observant Jews, we couldn’t get married until Sunday when Shabbat was over, so to keep the party going we had a bar hang with some games and Lombardi’s pizza on Saturday night at Cellar Dog in the West Village,” Galvin toldVogue.

“Our greatest hope was to give everyone a joyful, low-stress weekend full of warmth and a window into our relationship and the life that we are building,” Platt toldVogue. “And we wanted the dancing to go off. We feel that all missions were accomplished!”

Platt toldVogue, “We were overwhelmed with love, sweaty, and sobbing most of the time. We took our coats off halfway through — we were emotionally overheated.”
