Noodles & Company Says "I Do" to Weddings with New Catering Offerings, a $10K Honeymoon Giveaway, and a Real-Life Creator Love Story

Fast-casual favorite expands into the wedding space with catering designed for every celebration, from engagement parties to late-night bites

BROOMFIELD, Colo., June 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Noodles & Company (NASDAQ: NDLS), the fast-casual favorite known for globally inspired noodle bowls, craveable mac & cheese, and comfort food classics, is officially entering the wedding chat. Today, the brand announced the launch of new wedding catering offerings, a limited-time catering promotion, and a chance for one lucky couple to win a $10,000 honeymoon giveaway.

As couples continue to rethink traditional weddings in favor of celebrations that feel more personal, relaxed, and true to who they are, Noodles & Company is stepping in with an unexpected option for every wedding moment, from engagement parties and bridal showers to rehearsal dinners, receptions, and late-night bites after the dance floor clears.

To celebrate the launch, guests who place a qualifying wedding-related catering order of $1,000 or more using promo code ENGAGED15 between June 9 and July 15, 2026, will receive 15% off their catering order and be entered for a chance to win a $10,000 honeymoon giveaway.*

"We're seeing couples move away from one-size-fits-all celebrations and create experiences that feel more personal to them," said Danielle Moore, Director of Communications at Noodles & Company. "Food is a huge part of that. Whether it's a backyard engagement party, a rehearsal dinner, or a reception filled with comfort food favorites, we believe catering should feel easy, memorable, and genuinely enjoyable for guests."

Noodles' wedding catering menu is designed to serve celebrations big and small with customizable pasta trays, mac & cheese bars, salads, sides, desserts, and beverages. Every order also includes serving utensils, plates, napkins, and cutlery, making it easy for couples to spend less time worrying about logistics and more time enjoying the moment.

The launch also reflects a broader shift happening across wedding culture. Today's couples are increasingly embracing casual dining experiences, comfort food, and personality-driven celebrations that prioritize connection and guest experience over tradition.

To bring the campaign to life, Noodles is partnering with real-life creator couple Brayden DeGarmo and Nicole Ludwig (@BraydenNicoleEats) and following their journey from engagement all the way to "I do."

Dubbed The Noodley Weds, the creator-led series follows foodies Brayden and Nicole through the moments leading up to their wedding, showcasing how Noodles can play a role throughout every celebration along the way. New episodes will roll out across Noodles' social channels through late October, culminating with their wedding day.

"This has been such a meaningful experience for us because it combines two things we've always loved: food and sharing our story," said creator Nicole Ludwig. "Brayden and I bonded over food from the very beginning, so having Noodles be part of this journey feels really authentic to who we are as a couple."

"Comfort food naturally brings people together," Moore added. "At the end of the day, weddings are about creating moments people remember. Sometimes that looks like a seated dinner, and sometimes it looks like a mac and cheese bar and noodles shared with your favorite people."
