Are pets allowed?

Unfortunately, there are no pets allowed at the retreat center. If you need to bring a pet along, you must arrange your own accommodations. There are other campsites at Millersylvania State Park that do allow pets for tent and RV camping, and Olympia is only 15 minutes away.

Do I have to dress up?

We would love to look out into the crowd and see everyone dressed up in renaissance faire costumes, but we also understand it can be intimidating! If you choose not to dress up in costume, we request that you wear earth tones.

Where can I find ren faire themed costumes?

On the “Attire” tab, you’ll find a list of businesses from local ren faires that have online shops with clothing and accessories to help you put together a costume. However, if you feel inspired to go out this season, please utilize https://www.therenlist.com/ to locate a ren faire near you! Great ren faire outfits can also be found at thrift stores. Please try to support local and shop small for the occasion. We would rather you put something together from your closet than shop an entire wardrobe through Amazon. :)

Do I get a plus one?

While we would love to operate under a “the more the merrier” mentality, there is a maximum capacity for the venue. We will reach out if we’re not able to accommodate a plus one request. If there are any questions please reach out to the brides directly.

Is the event family friendly/are kids allowed?

There will be children present as we have family and friends’ children coming, however, if you haven’t made arrangements with us already, and your little ones aren’t included on your invite, then we respectfully request that they stay home. A note for parents who will have children present: there will be alcohol present during the reception, so please make proper arrangements to ensure their safety. (There will be non-alcoholic options available as well!)

What should I know if I want to stay the weekend?

If you would like to stay the weekend or night with us, then you do not need to do anything other than RSVP as such on the form! There are enough beds for every guest to stay the night free of charge to you!

Each cabin houses 4-8 people. We will do our best to make sure groups are together, but if there’s a large number of people choosing to stay the weekend, there is the chance for someone to be in your cabin you don’t know (As of January 2026, there aren’t as many people choosing to stay the entire weekend, so chances are you will be with your family and friends you know well! We will do our best to accommodate everyone in a way that they are comfortable with!) The cabins are rustic, summer camp style cabins with twin-sized bunk beds. You will need to provide your own sleeping bags/sheets/towels (unless you’ve made arrangements with us*) The bathrooms are communal bathrooms. This includes the showers if you choose to shower while there.

There will be food present, but currently, the only meal we are guaranteeing we will supply for the weekend is dinner the day of the wedding. You will have access to a full kitchen with a walk in fridge and Olympia is 15 minutes away, so you’re welcome to go grocery shopping and store everything you want to eat at the Retreat Center.

*This will likely only apply to those flying in from out of state. You know who you are.

Where do I park? Do I need a parking pass?

There will be 1-2 parking lots available for guests to use. You do not need to buy/provide a Discover Pass for parking while you’re parked at the retreat center. If you choose to drive out and explore the rest of the state park, a Discover Pass would be required. We recommend hiking out from the Retreat Center to save on parking fees.

What time should I arrive?

• Camping: Please arrive at 4:00 PM or later on Thursday 4/30, as this is our earliest check in time.

• Wedding day: Ceremony is at 2pm. Please arrive at least 30 minutes before the ceremony begins so you have time to settle and sit. If you arrive late, you will be asked to remain outside the ceremony until the reception.
