Closest Cities for LodgingWilbraham, Ludlow, Palmer, East Longmeadow, Belchertown, Springfield, Chicopee, and West Springfield. Nearest Airports &amp; Transit Airports: Bradley International Airport (Hartford, CT) or Boston Logan International (Boston, MA). Train Stations: Springfield Union Station or Worcester Union Station. Dress Code &amp; ColorsLet’s talk about attire. Renaissance Faire garb is absolutely where it’s at for this celebration! The One Hard Rule: Please do not wear silver, grey, or white per the bride's request Yes, the official wedding colors are blue, green, and silver, but we honestly don't care about perfect coordination. If you don't match the tablecloths, nobody is going to judge you. There will be absolutely zero pearl-clutching. Just dress up, be comfortable, and get ready to eat like you might enjoy a giant turkey leg! Not into dressing up? No problem at all! If you don’t want to wear full Renfaire gear, you won't be penalized. Business casual is perfectly acceptable. Just wear what you're comfortable in and come ready to celebrate. Exploring the Area: A New England GuideFor those traveling from out of town, welcome! If you want to spend some time exploring Massachusetts while you're here, here is your quick guide to the area. <a href="https://newenglandwanderlust.com/fall-in-massachusetts/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Fall in Massachusetts</a> Points of InterestSalem (The Witch City): If you're feeling adventurous, visit the witch capital. Pro-Tip: Take the bus if you can. Trying to park a car there is a literal nightmare. It’s highly historical, and if you like ghost tours, almost every building has a spooky story. Northborough: A great town to walk around, relax, and browse some local metaphysical shops. Old Sturbridge Village: A fantastic 19th-century living history museum, highly recommended by locals and travelers alike. Mandatory Local EatsLocal Pizza: You need to order a pie from a local spot. The water in this region makes the crust incredible. It's legit. Cider Donuts: A mandatory regional item. Eat them. Rice’s Fruit Farm: We will personally escort you here to get the good stuff, but it requires an early morning start. Be ready. Neighboring StatesWe are very close to the Connecticut border if you want to explore. New Hampshire is also only about a 3-hour drive away. You could visit Hampton Beach, but fair warning: it’s the off-season, so it will be chilly. Note for Landlocked Guests: If you live somewhere without an ocean, you are officially required to go look at the beach—even if it’s freezing. TJ promises that just looking at the Atlantic at least once is worth it. Need a Map? <a href="https://maps.app.goo.gl/KwEGbdst8Q8y8wUu7" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Click here for the Google Maps Location</a> The Hard Deadline: September 15, 2026September 15 is the official cutoff for RSVPs. We need to lock in our final headcount for the caterer. She is a culinary wizard, and we have a great relationship with her that we’d like to keep! Please let us know your status by the deadline so we can ensure there is a meal allocated for you. The Fine PrintAlcoholThere is a cash bar on-site. Feel free to indulge and have fun, but please know your tolerance levels so everyone stays safe and happy! Cannabis / WeedYes, we are technically in a state where this is legal. However, TJ, Melissa, and the venue have a strict ban on usage anywhere on the property. Please leave it at home or in your hotel room. ChildrenBring your mini-humans! We just need you to RSVP for them so the kitchen makes enough food. The only rule: if your little one has a crying meltdown during the ceremony, please temporarily step outside until they calm down. Wedding RegistryHonestly, our home is already fully stocked. Your presence is the best reward! But if you really want to give a gift, we are looking to fund a future vacation for next summer. (We are definitely not going to a beach boardwalk in November—Melissa wants to revisit Ocean City or explore Myrtle Beach). You can find our Cash Fund and travel gift cards on the registry.

Our Favorite CharityIf you’d rather send a gift toward a good cause, we have an organization that is incredibly near and dear to our hearts. As many of you know, our home is occupied by two rescue cats (our "Boys"). Twitchy: Rescued from the Emporia Animal Shelter. Titan: Rescued from the Street Cats Club in Emporia, KS. The Street Cats Club does incredible work for the local feline population. If you’d like to make a donation in our honor, it would mean the world to us! Please list it as a gift from "Titan and Twitch" and use the QR code provided above. Catering &amp; Dietary RestrictionsLook, the Bride has some incredibly specific, high-maintenance dietary restrictions. Because of this, she wants to ensure all her guests are fully fed and taken care of! If you leave this venue hungry, that is 100% your own fault. We’ve optimized the menu for everyone. We have options ready for our Lactose-Free, Gluten-Free, Diabetic, and Vegan friends. Just let us know your restrictions on your RSVP so we can assign the right meal to you. The DJ Policy (The Do-Not-Play List)Attention all guests: we gave the DJ rules. Please do not try to request anything involving chickens, cha-cha's, or Gasolina. Those specific songs are strictly forbidden. Even Tj's mom requested no Macarena. We have honored this. However, we are absolutely open to legitimate music requests! If you have a track that gets people on the dance floor, feel free to submit it to the DJ. Having Trouble RSVPing?If the online system is giving you trouble, do not panic. Search by your last name. Melissa took a bit of time to make sure all names are correct, so should be easy to find If in doubt, just text or email the Bride directly. She will manually add you to the guest list!

Colors and Dress code So, let's talk attire. Renaissance Faire garb is absolutely where it’s at for this shindig. We have exactly one hard server rule, courtesy of Melissa: Please do not wear silver, grey, or white. Yes, the official wedding colors are blue, green, and silver, but the bride and groom honestly have a cooldown timer on how much they care about coordination. If you don't match the tablecloths, nobody is going to roll for initiative. There will be absolutely zero pearl-clutching. Just dress like you're ready to eat a giant turkey leg and celebrate! No problem at all! If you don't want to equip a full set of Renfaire gear, you won't suffer any stat penalties. Business casual is a perfectly acceptable armor class for this event. No need to roll for initiative over your outfit—just wear what you're comfortable in and come ready to celebrate! The Side Quest Guide: Exploring the New England Map So, you’re traveling outside your usual spawn point and realized... we’re not in Kansas anymore. If you want to spend some time exploring the New England server while you're out here, here is your official adventurer's guide. First off, check out this lore book on<a href="https://newenglandwanderlust.com/fall-in-massachusetts/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> Fall in Massachusetts</a>. Basically... how do you feel about high-definition leaf textures? Because the foliage level here is maxed out. Points of Interest &amp; Local Dungeons Salem (The Witch City): If you're feeling brave, you can visit the metaphysical capital. Pro-Tip: Fast-travel via the bus. Trying to park your mount/car there is a literal nightmare. Haunted Lore: Pretty much every building around here has a "Haunted" debuff. If you like ghost tours, you're in luck. History Buffs: Tons of historical landmarks to unlock. Northborough: If you just want to walk around, relax, and browse some metaphysical shops, this is a great town zone. Old Sturbridge Village: A 19th-century living history museum. Highly rated by local NPCs and travelers alike. Consumables &amp; Buffs (Crucial Tips) Local Pizza: You need to order a pie from a local spot. The water in this region gives a passive +10 bonus to crust quality. It's LEGIT. Cider Donuts: A mandatory regional item. Eat them. Rice’s Fruit Farm: I will personally escort you on this quest line to get the good stuff, but it requires an early morning server reset. Be ready. Bordering Realms We are pretty close to the Connecticut border if you want to explore their quest lines. New Hampshire is only about a 3-hour fast-travel away. You could visit Hampton Beach, but fair warning: it’s currently the off-season, so the temperature stats will be low. Special Note for Landlocked Players If your home biome doesn't have an ocean, you are officially required to go look at the beach—even if it’s freezing. TJ promises that just looking at the Atlantic at least once gives a permanent wonder buff.

Where is it? Google maps is your friend... but I'm a good bean. <a href="https://maps.app.goo.gl/jreYgwzTpHfLvriL8" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://maps.app.goo.gl/jreYgwzTpHfLvriL8</a> So when do you gotta know by? The Hard Deadline (September 15, 2026) September 15 is the official server cutoff for RSVPs. We need to locked-in our final party count so we can pass the data over to the Caterer. She is a high-level Culinary Wizard, and we’re currently at Max Reputation with her—we’d really like to keep it that way! Please let us know your status by the deadline so we can make sure your character sheet has a meal allocated to it. The Minor Details (The Fine Print of the Campaign) Potion Selection (Alcohol) - There is a cash bar on-site. Feel free to indulge in some optimization for your Charisma stats, but please don't over-consume and trigger a chaotic-stupid alignment shift. Know your tolerance levels and we’re golden. Forbidden Herbs (Weed) - Yes, we are technically playing on a server where this is legal. However, TJ, Melissa, and the Venue Zone Admin have a strict localized ban on usage anywhere on the property. Leave your inventory at home or in your hotel room—just do not bring it here. Level 1 Companions (Child Care) - Bring your mini-humans! We just need you to RSVP for them so we can ensure the kitchen spawns enough food for everyone. The only rule: if your baby enters a "Crying Berserker" rage state during the ceremony, please temporary step outside the zone until their cooldown timer resets. The Loot Tables (Registry) - Honestly, our home base is already fully stocked with items. Your presence is the best reward. But if you really want to give us a quest reward, we’re looking to fund a future Vacation Expansion Pack. Note: This expansion will be launching next summer. We are not going to a beach boardwalk in November. I absolutely refuse to relive the frostbite debuff of Hampton Beach in March. Melissa wants to revisit the Ocean City map, or maybe explore Myrtle Beach—the final destination is still being debated in council. You can find our Cash Fund / Travel Gift Cards in the registry. Not a gift giver? Completely fine! We also have our favorite charity listed below if you'd rather send some gold their way instead.

The Feline Overlords - Lord Titan and The God-Emperor Twitch. (Our Favorite Charity) If you do want to send some gold toward a good cause, we have a faction that is incredibly near and dear to our hearts. As many of you know, our home base is occupied by two cats. We call them our Bubbas, the Boys, or—frequently, depending on their AI pathfinding failures—The Idiots. We love them to pieces. Our legendary familiars include: Twitchy: Sourced directly from the Emporia Animal Shelter guild. Titan Kitty: Spawned from the Street Cats Club in Emporia, KS. Titan is 100% Daddy’s boy. I swear that cat’s loyalty meter is maxed out for him. Twitch begrudgingly lets us live in his house. The Street Cats Club does incredible work for the local feline population in Lyon County Kansas, so if you're looking to complete a charitable side quest in our honor, dropping some loot into their inventory would mean the world to us! Feel free to donate to the cause. Please put it as a gift from Titan Kitty and Twitchy Boy. Use the QR code above. What’s the Deal with the Catering? Look, the Bride has some incredibly specific, high-maintenance dietary restrictions. But despite her own limited food inventory, she wants to ensure all her guests are fully buffed and fed. If you leave this venue with an empty hunger bar, that is 100% your own fault. Since we know plenty of our friends and family are running unique character builds with their own dietary restrictions, we did our best to optimize the menu for everyone. We've got options ready for our Lactose-Free, Gluten-Free, and Diabetic allies. We even have options for the Vegan faction! We have covered every single base we possibly could here. Just let us know your restrictions on your RSVP so we can assign the right consumables to your party slot! The Banned Spell List (Music DJ Policy) Attention all party members: The soundboard has been warded against dark magic. You villains had better not try to request anything involving chickens, cha-cha's, or Gasolina. Those specific audio scrolls have been permanently placed on the Forbidden Naughty List. Attempting to cast them may result in a swift alignment correction from the Bride and Groom! However, we are opening up the quest board for legitimate music requests! If you have a track that boosts your party's stamina and doesn't summon a flock of poultry or a mid-2000s reggaeton flashback, feel free to submit it to the DJ. Oh, Roleplayers, LARPers, gamers and the like, prepare for your summons to the dance floor. Error 404: Internet Not Found? (How to RSVP) If you are currently staring at your screen wondering what the internet even is, or if you're struggling to navigate the RSVP interface above, do not panic. Your quest line is not broken. If you’ve rolled a Natural 1 on your Technology check and still can't bypass the digital firewall, just manually ping the Bride via text or email. She will override the system and hardcode you onto the party roster! Text: 913.669.4533 Email: melissa.millett22@gmail.com
