Come get married by Elvis in Our Drive Thru Chapel o' Burning Love on August 8th (or 15th if it's awful)

Part of Visa Wellington on a Plate, A Wedding deal includes a pickup in a pink cadillac, drinks, a wedding brunch, photos, songs, a ceremony AND a cocktail! Pricing is for 2 people but if there's a different way you want to do things, let us know.

Note- We have a real proper Wedding Celebrant performing the ceremonies. If you want a Real Actual Legal Wedding, the ticket includes time for the celebrant to meet you and explain and go through the whole process. Youll still have to apply for the license yourself with the required timeframes, but The Celebrant will help you with that.

🐝 Attention, Hive! 🐝

The show is still going ahead tonight!

The forecast is looking a little wet and windy, so if you're joining us, be sure to dress accordingly. There's a short walk from the car park to Niblick Hall, and we'd hate for you to arrive looking a little... d-i-s-h-e-v-e-l-l-e-d. 🌧️☔

P.S. There is ONE ticket left for the entire season... you know what to do!
🎟️

Music and lyrics by William Finn, with a book written by Rachel Sheinkin, created by Rebecca Feldman with additional material by Jay Reiss.
