While the SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism) is not a performance organization and does not provide entertainment for weddings, many times advice can be garnered from members of your local SCA group.
In the Kansas City metro
area there are currently three chapters:
the Barony
of Forgotten Sea, the Canton of Aston Tor and the
Shire of Cúm an Iolair.

Like other clubs, the local chapters of the SCA has various meetings and activities. These are held "in garb", meaning that members wear clothes made like those from the Middle Ages. The larger activities or "events" that are held, focus on re-creating a day at a medieval faire, royal tournament or special feast day.
