WHAT TO EXPECT |
This is an immersive and interactive event. You're invited to play lawn games, eat, drink, make a toast, have a dance...in fact you're encouraged to fully take part in the entire evening. Don't know anyone at the wedding? Don't worry about it! Everyone is a plus one at this event and it's an opportunity to mingle and make some new friends. You don't have to do anything that makes you uncomfortable, but you're welcome to get into character if you'd like. The wedding party will seek consent before bringing you out on the dance floor, or pulling you into a family photoshoot. With that said, please respect the personal space and requests of all the other guests and the wedding party.

Wear what makes you feel fabulous. This is your chance to wear those heels that are too tall, or that ascot that is always too lavish. It's a summer wedding in upstate NY, so it could be warm and it could be wet, check the weather! |
ACTIVITIES |
We'll have all your favorite wedding games, a photo booth with silly props, and of course lots of dancing. Take part in some of our favorite wedding traditions and introduce your own! Make speech during the ceremony or share some words of wisdom with the couple during the reception. Try to identify the Wedding Crasher(s) by uncovering clues presented throughout the evening and questioning your fellow guests and the wedding party.
Get down on the dance floor to a DJ set by dj tuggle and do some back up vocal stylings with the Wedding Singer. |

HONEY MOON FUND |
The Wedding Show is a community theatre production and we work hard to pay the actors, crew and service providers for their talents. Many community theatre shows are all volunteer based, but we recognize that the cast and crew are sometimes forgoing paid work to be a part of this show. So, in the spirit of The Wedding, we invite you to contribute to "the honeymoon fund." The honeymoon fund is what allows us to keep the ticket prices low and prioritize paying our performers. You're welcome to make donations anytime by clicking the link below. Or you can toss some bills in the honeymoon fund jar at The Wedding!

ZERO-WASTE |
Our primary objective is to put on an event that is nearly zero-waste! As a result, we ask our guests to do their part to make this possible. All food waste will be donated to the sweet pigs at Saoirse Pastures. All plates and utensils will be composted. All bottles and cans will be recycled.
In addition, all of the decorations are from re-used/up-cycled materials or biodegradable materials! Big thanks to B&W Supply, Ames Linen, and the Ithaca Buy-Nothing Community for making this possible! |
