What is the Texas Renaissance Festival?

At 40 acres, the Texas Renaissance Festival is one of the largest in the world. It is also a magical, wonderful, beautiful place that leaves you wanting to come back every year. Shannon grew up going to RenFest, and is excited to share the experience with all of her Non-Texan friends! For more info, please visit the website: https://www.texrenfest.com/

Is a ticket to the Texas Renaissance Festival included with my wedding invitation?

Abso-fucking-lutely! Both the ceremony and reception venues are inside the festival grounds :)

Do I HAVE to dress in costume?

No, you don't have to dress in costume, however, chances are very high that you will be the odd one out. ***The only thing we will discourage guests from wearing is high heeled shoes***

I don't have anything to wear! Where do I get a Renaissance Festival costume?

Please consult the "RenFest Costume" page on this site to see a compiled list of shops you can choose from, with all budgets in mind.

What are your wedding colors?

Deadly Nightshade Purple and Gold (the colors of this website) **Guests are not required to wear these specific colors...wear whatever colors you like**

What's the parking situation at the venue?

General Parking: Free~~~ Disability/Handicap Parking: Available and free~~~ Valet Parking: $40 and only available until 4pm (or when capacity is reached)~~~ Preferred Parking: $25 and only available until 4pm (or when capacity is reached) Rows 6 through 10~~~https://www.texrenfest.com/parking

What's the Traffic Situation at the venue?

If you get there before noon, there's going to be traffic. After noon, it's significantly less (I got there at 1pm, and there was no parking lot line).

Can I call an Uber/Lyft to and from the festival?

Unfortunately, there are no rideshare services in Todd Mission and surrounding areas. Please plan to drive or carpool, or book your room at one of the hotels with a free shuttle service to and from the festival. The Texas Renaissance Festival campgrounds are within walking distance, and provide a low cost shuttle service as well. Additionally, here is a list of car services available in the area: https://www.thewoodlandstx.com/taxi/

I don't live in Texas. Which airport is the closest to the wedding venue?

Houston Intercontinental Airport (IAH) is around a 45min to an hour drive (depending on traffic) directly to the venue. All major rental car companies operate out of the airport as well.

Help! I'm a New Yorker that doesn't drive! How do I get from the airport to my hotel?

Have no fear! Here is a link to car services in the area: https://www.thewoodlandstx.com/taxi/

Can I bring a plus one or my children?

The answer to this question is a solid MAYBE. We initially tried to include all plus one's that we know of. If we missed yours, let us know!

Are y'all going to be mad at me if I can't come?

Absolutely not, but please let us know so we can get an accurate guest count as soon as possible. We completely understand that life gets in the way for whatever reasons. We will always love you <3
