FAQs
Question
How do we get to the wedding?
Answer
The address can be found in the schedule. Any satellite navigation should be able to get you there. You'll be parking in the Haven parking area. 1. Make sure you have a parking pass taped high inside your windshield. 2. As you approach seasonal parking personnel, confirm with them that they see your parking pass and you are to receive access to the Haven parking area. 3. Follow the staff's instructions from the attendants. You should be directed to a large fenced off area with a green shed and a large green tent behind it. 4. If you get lost, call the Festival's main line: 704-896-5555

Question
Do I need to buy a ticket for the Renfaire?
Answer
No, you don't need to pay - we've covered the cost of all the tickets. If you'd like to, though, there will be an option in the registry to help cover those costs!
Question
What if it rains?
Answer
The show must go on! For any event less than a natural disaster, the wedding will still be outdoors, just moved under the reception tent. Keep an eye on the weather and pack umbrellas in your car! And maybe a spare set of shoes for muddy festival grounds.
Question
Do I have to come in costume?
Answer
No! Not everyone gets along with costumes. You may come in SEMI-FORMAL wear, and make sure you're wearing shoes that can take a few dirt paths!
Question
What are the rules for costumes?
Answer
Fantasy or historic theme! Anything from ancient greek to baroque pirate. No industrial, no steampunk, no sci-fi, nothing later than pirate.
