Question

I have a food allergy, can I make a special request?

At this time we are asking you to please limit yourself to only those printed on the invitations. We have a large number of out of town family coming in.

I want to request music for the reception.

Answer

Please send in up to three tracks you’d like to hear to (email) no less than three months before the wedding. Our DJ will be using synchronized lights and therefore cannot take any requests the day of. Please don’t be upset if one or more of your songs aren’t played - I’m sure it’s a bop, but there are only so many hours in the reception!

Question

Do we have to wear costumes for the wedding?

Answer

No! While the bride and groom and many of their friends are wonderfully dramatic and theatrical folks, no one should be in costume. This is a wedding, after all.

Question

Is the wedding themed?

Answer

The theme is “dark fantasy” and possibly “enchanted forest” ish. But by no means do you have to come dressed for said theme!

Question

Okay what is a LARP?

Answer

LARP, or Live Action Roleplay is an immersive theatre experience in which someone takes on a character and becomes them for a weekend. It’s improv, Tabletop RPGs, video gaming, and exercise all rolled into one event. They come in different genres, like fantasy or wild west, or apocalyptic dystopia. See if you can guess which wedding guests are LARPers - it may surprise you to find out who still plays on occasion!

Question

What is a “storyteller” at a LARP?

Answer

A storyteller is kind of like a screenplay writer/director if the director had to do whatever the actors and audience wanted while still telling their original story. Usually they come up with a sort of basic story for a weekend, a plot if you will, and work with a team of people or the director of the game to come up with it and execute it. It’s not an easy job (except for Gene, who is a natural) - it requires someone highly creative and adaptable who is able to improvise on their feet depending on how the players interact with their plot and characters! It’s a fun job for sure, and often is paid!
