A truly magical wedding :)

This was by far the best venue we could've picked! The food was delicious, the entertainment was hilarious, and the festival grounds were gorgeous. Very little decorating was required on our part! Our coordinator Katie was extremely helpful through every step of the planning process. Thanks to her, our wedding went smoothly and everyone enjoyed themselves! We highly recommend this venue- whether you're having a traditional wedding, or a renaissance themed one. (We might be biased, but we'd also recommend going all out in medieval costumes! The venue really helps you and your guests get into the spirit of the renaissance!)

Super great full and very lively

Throughout the whole day when I, the groom, was stressing over everything and anything our wedding coordinator was able to help me keep calm. The bar tending staff was amazing cause not only did they serve the drinks but they were also getting in the groove as well. The food was excellent and served on time with precision and excellence. Thank you Minnesota Renaissance Festival for the best day ever
