FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing is not complicated. For weddings we have a set price for our basic five person presentation. If additional talent is added, that is an additional price. For birthday parties price depends on selected talent and distance; for Medieval Banquet events a plan is created and price is appropriate to talent, time and distance. I have standard prices for sewing that are less than those charged by dry cleaners.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have two degrees in English (specifically Renaissance literature), and have been in the Renaissance program and event business for over 20 years. As for sewing, I have been sewing clothing, home furnishings, and costumes since I was 13 years old. I am an accomplished seamstress.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I taught English literature and received a National Endowment for the Humanities Fellowship in King Arthur Legend and started school assemblies. I was called by the Bristol Renaissance Faire to be their bookseller, and there I met magnificent talent. I was asked by a faire patron if I could do a Renaissance wedding, and thus the entertainment division of my company began.
