Couple Enjoys Four-Day Wedding Celebration

Amy Lynn Feinberg and Jason Michael Kayne fell in love at one of their friend’s destination weddings: and they knew from that moment on, they wanted the same type of vacation experience for their own wedding. Amy and Jason wanted four days instead of a four-hour celebration. Amy’s mother, Robyn, quickly got into action planning their dream wedding. Amy’s brother, Joel, was married just 15 months earlier, so the family was ready for another Feinberg simcha.

Jason and Amy’s love story started in January 2021, when their mutual friend and Atlantan, Daniel Weiss, introduced them. They quickly fell for each other with their similar interests, same morals, same taste in music, and love for all things pop culture. Jason proposed to Amy three years into dating at their first date spot, Amano, in Old Fourth Ward in January 2024.

Jason makes Amy a better person, while Amy brings both energy and excitement to their relationship. They both enjoy a good meal and lots of laughter.

The wedding plans began with the selection of Palladium Hotel’s TRS Resort in Costa Mujeres, Mexico. With a mother who is well-known throughout the wedding industry in Atlanta as owner of RSVP Atlanta (local invitation studio), Robyn became the de facto expert in planning and logistics for the couple. Amy was the opposite of a “Bridezilla,” and took on the role of a “Bride-Chilla,” allowing her mom to take care of all details.

The couple’s collection of family and friends, 125 strong, gathered with the couple over those four days to celebrate their love and have a bounty of fun doing it. Custom bucket hats, beach bags, and koozies were provided so that everyone could spot the wedding party at the pool, as well as plenty of sunscreen. The bride celebrated her bachelorette party with a private dinner at one of the hotel’s restaurants, and the groom was celebrated on his birthday two days before the wedding with a private boat party for the happy couple and many of their friends.

The night before the wedding, the groom’s parents, Tina and Joe Kayne of Evanston, Ill., hosted a festive poolside welcome party for all of the guests complete with a roving Mariachi band and an authentic Mexican wedding cake piñata.

The wedding ceremony was officiated by Amy’s uncle, Doug Bartel, who incorporated Jewish traditions and made the ceremony personal to both Amy and Jason. The procession began with Amy’s cousins, Brooke and Jordan Bartel, leading the way with tequila shots for all of the guests in true Mexico fashion.

The couple exchanged custom-written vows under the chuppah, wearing a tallis purchased by Amy’s late aunt, Beth Feinberg-Oettinger. Sentimental items used for the ceremony were a ring worn by Amy’s late grandfather, Bernard, and a watch worn by Jason from his grandfather, Bernard. The kiddush cup was from Amy’s bat mitzvah.

Amy’s wedding gown was by Paloma Blanca, purchased at Wedding Angels in Roswell. Shoes were by Vince Camuto. Wedding jewelry was from both Privee (Jonathan Paz) and Worthmore Jewelers (Decatur). Invitations were lovingly made by Amy’s mother, Robyn.

After the service and cocktail hour, the real party began led by a 12-member band and a lighted dance floor making the night one to remember for all the guests. The couple’s honeymoon was close by with an additional few days tacked on to their stay at the TRS Resort that included a day at the spa and taking advantage of the resort’s nighttime entertainment options.

Amy and Jason have now purchased a home in the Kirkwood neighborhood in Atlanta and are happy parents to their adorable dog, Loki.

The groom, a Chicago native, is a 2016 graduate of Tufts University, where he played on the NCAA National Championship soccer team. He now works for U.S. Soccer. Amy was a 2012 graduate of The Galloway School and attended Indiana University. She later received her Master of Occupational Therapy from New York University and now works as pelvic floor therapist at a private practice in Atlanta.
