✦ Love, Lore & Lifelong Adventure ✦

Carnegie Hall · Newport, Kentucky
Becca grew up in Bremerton, Washington — where she spent her years crafting stories, bowling competitively, cooking up (sometimes questionable) concoctions, and going on wild road trips with her family. After following her parents to Kentucky, she pursued her culinary dream at Cincinnati State. Ultimately forging a career in the kitchens at the Great American Ballpark; rising through the ranks to Kitchen Lead. She ended her last season running the Press Box, feeding all the media people that covered the games. That led her to Funky's Catering, now Delightmore. There, her keen eye for detail and commitment to excellency shines as she packs all outgoing food orders. Among the busy years of her life in Cincinnati, she found a love of tabletop gaming that paired with her love of writing.
Whether she's at work, at home orchestrating a multicourse dinner for friends and family, or constructing entire worlds for D&D, Becca brings the same meticulous creativity to everything she touches.
Eric grew up a local boy on Cincinnati's West Side. Spending weekends on the soccer field, paddling down rivers, hiking trails, and rolling dice at the game table. A stint in Michigan living in Flint, then Detroit for co-ops gave him a deep love for cars and driving that later grew into track days and performance driving.
Returning to Cincinnati in 2016, he joined a scrappy digital marketing startup and has grown alongside it ever since. Surrounded by friends who share his love of storytelling, D&D campaigns, and a well-painted miniature, he found his people.
Two adventurers were separately invited by mutual friends to a D&D campaign. They descended into a basement and into kobold-infested ruins, fighting to protect townsfolk and perhaps less gloriously, being conscripted into the gladiator pits. Eric as part of a centaur and minotaur fighter duo, and Becca as an unlucky melee styled half-elf ranger. Several sessions, some incredible meals, a handful of character deaths, and too many dice rolls later, something clicked.
Eric invited Becca over with the most on-brand proposition possible: an evening of making dinner and rolling up new characters together. They hit it off, and what started as a party of two at the table became a party of two in life.
Through a pandemic, four moves (to Becca's eternal exasperation), travels across the country, including Eric's first look at Becca's beloved Washington and Becca's first trip to King's Island; they built a life together. Nieces and a nephew were added to the mix. Game nights multiplied. Campaigns ran in parallel. One cat turned into three. Miniatures got painted. Gardens grew. The bookshelf bowed under new adventures.
Every adventurer has a moment that defines their story. Among thousands of twinkling lights at the Cincinnati Zoo's Festival of Lights, Eric presented the most meaningful quest of his life: Marriage. Becca said yes. And so begins their next great campaign.

What was once Newport's grand Carnegie Library now stands as one of the region's most distinctive event spaces. The building's Art Deco bones — all geometric precision, soaring ceilings, and architectural detail — make it the perfect canvas for our vision.
We're weaving the building's geometric language into something more fantastical: the clean angles lean into a dwarven craftsmanship, while living greenery softens the stone with an elven touch. Gold and candlelight will do the rest.
