| - This was my first time at this event center and I was excited to see the Joni & Gina Wedding Show. It doesn't look like it, but there is ample parking in the back.
When we arrived they looked at our tickets and escorted us to the "The Robin Roberts" table. Each table was organized by famous lesbians. I had never heard of Robin Roberts and the table next to us was Maria Bello (had no idea she was a lesbian) it was a cute idea.
We went to the bar to grab a drink, and it was a little slow going and unorganized, but once we had our drinks we felt better. Show 'guests' such as the family of the brides were mingling around and socializing in character. It was very funny. Right away I loved the wedding planner/event coordinator & the both mothers of the bride.
Soon after everyone walks outside & around the corner for the actual ceremony. We were escorted by Joni's family and they were great. They play the roles so effortlessly. There's has to be a fair amount of improv, because who knows what the non performers will say. I really like that aspect of the show.
The ceremony is hilarious. I just love the actress that plays the master of ceremonies. She was excellent in SST's Arcenic and Old Lace. This is also where we finally meet the brides. I just adore Joni. She is great! Her personality really shines through. Excellent acting.
After the ceremony they walk you back to the reception hall, we were lead by Gina's awkward and kind of inappropriate brother. The best thing about this is you get to deal with all the annoying people at a wedding, but without any of the personal attachment or embarrassment. Funny!
Once back at the reception, there's a small buffet including salad, vegetable lasagna, Mac and cheese and sliced beef. I don't think anyone is going for the food, but it was definitely Ok. There's also a champagne toast and wedding cake. I thought the cake was pretty good, but I so rarely eat cake... It was definitely a treat. There is also a very nice cocktail waitress that will bring out more drinks. Very organized and she split up our drinks without us asking, so it was very easy to pay at the end. I liked the Alamos Malbec, but it was the only one I tried. My girlfriend really seemed to like the house specialty (vodka, peach schnapps and various other juice)
Then the fun really starts... They encourage everyone to start dancing and even form a huge conga line. They really try to include everyone and get you dancing. This is definitely a show that you can have a lot of fun.
I felt like all the actors did a great job staying in character and really bringing it. Kudos to everyone at my table for having fun & making the night that much better! The show is about three hours if you arrive on time and totally worth the price.
