Your wedding day is here! It's party time!!!

Various entertainers from the faire will join you throughout your reception. You will not know the lineup in advance – it’ll be a sweet surprise on your wedding day! We will have a host for your event that will introduce each act as they arrive.

We can never guarantee requests, but we welcome them and will pass them along to our entertainment team. Our entertainers have a very busy day with stage shows, scheduled street interaction time, and a few well-deserved breaks. We try to accommodate requests where possible and also ensure that you have a nice mix of entertainment for your event. Please submit any requests to Brenna.

Of course! You will work with Brenna and your officiant to schedule a time for your 1-hour rehearsal.

All parking for your wedding is in the general admission faire parking lot. Please make guests aware that there may be traffic getting into the fairegrounds and they will be parked with all general faire guests. Guests with difficulty walking may be dropped off in front of the wine shop. There is no drop off zone adjacent to the feasting glen. The wine shop would be the closest drop off area.

The pavilion schedule is based on the following each weekend: final guest counts of all events scheduled for the weekend, their add-ons, etc. There will be signage posted at the entry of the Feasting Glen day-of to direct you and your guests to the designated pavilion.

The picnic tables have a surface area of 28in x 72in. We estimate 6 people per table and add 1-2 extras for comfort. The cake tables are approx. 2ftx2ft. Based on availability, we will utilize picnic tables or German-style outdoor seminar-length tables for additional gift/favor/etc. requests. Please share all requests in advance.

There are outlets in each pavilion and they are both equipped with lighting to illuminate the reception space as needed.

Please distribute this map to your guests in advance, especially if this will be their first time at The Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire. We will have signage posted at the entrance of the Feasting Glen with your names on it to let them know they’re in the right spot!

We will have a selection of our handcrafted beers, wines, and ciders available.

You can control your costs, but still cover some drinks by pre-purchasing drink tickets. This is a popular option and many couples will do 1-2 tickets per person. They are $10 each and only valid during the event at the Feasting Glen Bar/non-refundable if unused, so take those things into account if you decide to go this route. We do recommend that they be equally distributed to guests (having someone designated to hand them out at the end of the ceremony, set at place settings, etc). Guests are free to purchase additional drinks once they have used up their provided tickets (or, if not planning on drinking, may give their tickets to another guest).
