- So, when and where are you getting married?
- At the Ohio Renaissance Festival on Sunday October 20th, 2024. The address is 10542 Ohio 73, Waynesville, Ohio 45068.
- Wait, so how does this work?!
- Our guests (that's you!) get free entry into the festival. You'll enter towards the right side of the festival entrance and say you're here for our wedding. We'll walk together to the chapel for the ceremony, and then to a covered banquet area for dinner.
- Can I bring a plus one?
- Due to space and financial constraints, only those mentioned in the invite are allowed to attend. Thank you for understanding!
- What time should I get there?
- The festival is a busy place, but you can actually come in as early as 10:30am. Please plan for traffic and slow entry into the parking area. We'll start our parade to the chapel at 2pm sharp!
- So, if this is a Renaissance festival, do I have to dress up?
- We encourage all of our guests to dress up as much as they feel comfortable. Will and I are both dressing Renaissance style, and so will our closest friends and family. You can shop your closet for whatever feels right, or hit up a local maker or a costume shop: the world is your oyster! Here are some vibes that you'll see represented at the festival: fantasy, Renaissance, jester, Viking, pirate, medieval, witch, princess, fairy, druid, Celtic, wench, etc.
- I have no ideas!!!
- Don't fret! I made this Pinterest board to get your creative juices flowing.
- Okay, maybe I have some ideas. Where should I shop for my outfit?
- If you want to purchase online, Etsy has lots of great options! We've had luck with these shops:
Pearson's Renaissance Shoppe
Holy Clothing
Chicken Vicious
Armstreet
Mytholon
Artemisia Designs
Costurero Real
If you would rather shop in person, you can always shop at our festival! The season starts on Labor Day weekend and continues until the last weekend of October. You might even have a faire near you!
- What else do I need to know about the Renaissance festival?
- Cell service is nearly non-existant. The ground will either be gravel or grass, so plan your footwear accordingly. You're free to enjoy the festival at your leisure after the ceremony and dinner.
The festival closes at 7pm. This is the festival website.
