Reviews of Minnesota Renaissance Festival / Mid-America Festivals
Vow Renewal - Huzzah! An Excellent Experience
The rental fee had some parking passes and tickets included--all of that went really smoothly in the parking lot and at the gate. Our attendees had no problems and had a blast. Katie was present during the ceremony, which was lovely.
The Chapel Garden is not private. We had a few random festival goers cheering for us when we kissed. But that was completely fine with us. There was a wedding going on at the same time inside a private tent.
Our day was not the BIG day, but if it had been, I think it all would have gone just as smoothly. And Katie did not brush us off for any request even though we were renewing vows as opposed to getting married.
Of course, the festival itself was fantastic. The highlight for the kids was the Mermaid Cove. It rained on and off all day, but it was too much fun to care. Lots of great memories made.
A Dream Come True!
Super great full and very lively
