Question

What should I wear?

Answer

The vibe is Regency to Victorian era, semi-formal to formal or opera attire. Still fit in that snazzy suit in your closet? Let's see it! Got some Victorian-period costumes? You'll fit right in! We want to be inclusive so we will not be enforcing a strict dress code, but whether it's a tux, bespoke pantsuit, or ballgown... there aren't many reasons to get fancy these days, so have fun with it and express yourself! Just watch out for stragglers of the color run that has been coincidentally scheduled for earlier that day on C Street.

Question

What time should we arrive?

Answer

Aim for being at the venue at 3:00 or 3:15 PM. The ceremony will start at 4:00 PM, regardless of whether all our guests have arrived yet.

Question

Is the wedding adults-only?

Answer

Yes. While it would be wonderful to celebrate our love with the world, this is an evening event in a historical venue with strict capacity rules, so we respectfully request no children under the age of 18. We apologize if this causes any inconvenience and sincerely hope you can still join us. If you are traveling from out of town with the little ones, we could help by offering suggestions for child care options!

Question

How accessible is Piper's Opera House?

Answer

Although the main theatre is on the second floor, there is an elevator for guests to use.

Question

What about parking?

Answer

There are several paid parking lots throughout Virginia City, and the courthouse parking lot on B St. is free on Saturdays - see the map insert with your invitation (drawn by the groom!). We will be offering complimentary "comstock carriage" rides from the Silver Terrace Cemetery for those with mobility restrictions... contact Cal Dillon at 775-297-5510 if you think you will need this. Go Go Gadget Golf Cart also offers shuttle rides all around Virginia City and Gold Hill - call or text 775-484-0686. Carpooling is a good idea and please plan on getting to VC early!

Question

Will there be alcohol?

Answer

You betcha! Although the bride and groom are sober, there will be a cash-only bar (plus NA options), and we greatly encourage merriment of all sorts. Geiger Grade is a winding, dark road so please be safe, plan ahead, and book ASAP if you want to stay the night in VC.

Question

I missed the RSVP date! Can I still come?

Answer

Your timely RSVP is required for us to know how many places to set and people to feed. Additionally, Piper's has a strictly limited capacity and a specific number of seats available, to which we must adhere. Don't be "that guy;" RSVP as soon as you can and if you miss the date or are otherwise unclear on who can attend, please contact one of us. There might be a last-minute opening, but no promises.

Question

Will we be fed?

Answer

Yes! We will have a catered buffet, plus dessert (obviously). Your prompt RSVP ensures we'll have enough food for everyone, and please let us know of any dietary restrictions.
