Question

What should I wear?

Answer

The vibe is Regency to Victorian era, semi-formal to formal or opera attire. Got a snazzy suit in your closet? Still fit in that prom dress? Let's see it! We want to be inclusive so we will not be enforcing a strict guest 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!

Question

I missed the RSVP date! Can I still come?

Answer

This is a large event so your timely RSVP is required for catering to know how many places to set and people need to be fed. Piper's also has 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

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. We will offer complimentary "comstock carriage" rides from parking areas - let us know ahead of time if you might need one!

Question

What about parking?

Answer

There are several parking lots (paid and free options) throughout Virginia City. There is also street parking, but carpooling from Reno might be a good idea given that Saturdays in October are generally bustling with other visitors to this historical landmark!

Question

Will there be alcohol?

Answer

You betcha! Although the bride and groom are sober, we'll have a bar (and NA options), and 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

Will we be fed?

Answer

Yes! We will have a catered buffet with options for various dietary restrictions, plus dessert (obviously). Your prompt RSVP ensures we'll have enough food for everyone.

Question

Can I bring the little ones?

Answer

While it would be wonderful to celebrate our love with the world, our venue is a delicate, historical landmark with strict capacity rules, so we respectfully request no children at this event. We apologize if this causes any inconvenience and hope you can still join us.
