Which is why we're love partnering with one of our sponsors, Scarborough Renaissance Festival in Waxahachie, Texas, who basically provide the ultimate destination wedding — all the way to the 16th Century! (Okay, really it's just 30 minutes south of downtown Dallas.) Yup, Scarborough offers all-inclusive weddings and receptions during their festival in April and May of each year! Let's talk about the five reasons you should totally consider a Renaissance festival wedding… Photo by Pink Light Images 1. An immersive historical venue Period music, a reserved wedding garden and private pavilion, a gorgeous bouquet, flower garlands — it's ambiance city here, folks. Scarborough Renaissance Festival offers Renaissance weddings that can be themed in many different ways: Knights in shining armor, ladies of the court, English villagers (or even wenches!), Celtics, pirates, fairies and many, many others options. Costuming is available to rent or you can wear your own chosen garb. You're not likely to easily find such an awesomely-themed 16th century world with dragons, castles, and ambient extras for your historical wedding. Add in the Renaissance-themed music — harps, dulcimers, and minstrels. They'll totally create your world, complete with photo ops a plenty! 2. Your Renaissance-themed menu is already taken care of. Huzzah! Scarborough Renaissance Festival provides a Renaissance feast including big ol' turkey legs, rogue sandwiches, chicken-on-a-stake, breads, and other yummies for your hulking post-battle guests. You can also snag a pair of limited edition Scarborough goblets presented by a member of the Royal Court and a special bottle of Scarborough Mead with which to toast. Photo by Pink Light Images 3. Your reception can include shows, games, and shopping This goes without saying, but you're at a Ren fest!
