What information do you provide about these events?
We track down the essential coordinates for your journey, including the event name, location, dates, and direct links to organizer updates. This intel comes from public announcements by local guilds and associations. Schedules change at the whim of the organizers, so double check their official pages before packing your kit. Verillas is an independent gear smith and is not responsible for event changes.
What happens at an SCA event?
The Society for Creative Anachronism focuses on pre-17th-century historical reenactment, spanning everything from Viking assemblies to Renaissance courts. Participants strive for high accuracy in clothing, armor, and crafts. Events feature armored combat, rapier tournaments, and arts workshops. Contact your local Virginia chapter to learn their weapon and newcomer guidelines before attending.
What can I do at a Renaissance Faire in Virginia?
A Ren Faire is the ultimate playground to test your favorite fantasy or historical kit. Expect artisan merchant lanes, themed food, live bardic music, jousting tournaments, and street performers. It is a judgment free zone for self expression. Whether you dress as a medieval knight, high fantasy elf, or rugged pirate, you will fit right in.
What happens at a LARP event?
Live Action Role Playing combines collaborative storytelling with physical action. You create and inhabit a unique character within a specific fictional setting. Many events feature active combat using safety tested, padded foam weapons. While mechanics vary between game systems, the core rules focus on player safety and deep story immersion.
What if I don’t see a Ren Faire or LARP event near me in Virginia?
Scout across state borders. Neighboring territories like Maryland, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina host massive annual events just a short drive away. Many regional LARP and SCA networks cross state lines, meaning their largest weekend wars are designed for travelers from all over.
What if I know of a Renaissance Faire, LARP, or SCA event that isn't listed?
Help us expand the map! If your local guild is hosting a gathering or you notice a missing festival, please reach out to the Verillas team. We want to ensure our community has the best intel to get out and use their gear. Contact our team here to submit an event.
Wouldn’t it be magical to get married in fantasy outfits?
To be wed in Renfaire Garb? Imagine the wedding photos with a party of groomsmen, sword in hand, and a bridal party of faire maidens? Tavern wench brides maids? Or perhaps shield maidens come to rescue the men?
Whatever your vibe, whatever your medieval fantasy, we are ready to make your special day not only memorable, but legendary. Imagine the framed photos. And wedding outfits that you might actually re-wear time and time again to your favorite Larp or Renaissance Festival.
Pirate
Channel high-seas romance with layered tunics, structured vests, and rugged leather accents crafted for an unforgettable nautical union.
Romantasy
Step into a dark fairytale with flowing silhouettes, ethereal drapery, and enchanting details designed for a truly otherworldly celebration.
Viking
Honor tradition and strength with bold cut-and-sew outerwear, heavy leather hardware, and warrior-inspired garments built for the modern clan.
Medieval
Bring timeless nobility to the altar with regal doublets, dramatic coats, and historic tailoring forged for your courtly vows.
What we do best:
Using our original designs, we offer custom color and a wide range of sizing to accommodate large parties of adventurers. For the bride and groom, while we don’t do custom patterns (sorry we can’t take your Pinterest dream photo and copy it!), we DO offer some extra regal versions of our existing garb selection.
We can make your favorite Verillas styles in upgraded satin, damask patterned fabrics, leather, or rugged canvas in all too many possible color combinations. We can provide consultation through our discord [link] or email: Info@verillas.com to make sure your garb arrives better than you hoped for and on time. Please allow 4-6 months advance notice for custom order, whereas our standard color selection items ship next business day. Just reach out with your idea and we will give you a quote!
Here are a few sample style concepts for a wedding based on things we already have patterns for:
Groom: A Mirage Long-Vest, matching patterned Landsknecht Pants, a medieval tunic, and Ares Knee High Leather Boots. Add a belt based on our ever-rotating stock, a few leather pouches, and a circlet from one of our fellow vendors at the VA Renaissance Faire.
Bride: A Bramblewood Battledress re-imagined in all-white damask satin with a white satin lining and ivory leather trim. A bright white Bramblecourt chemise – or a white renaissance tunic and matching Landskenecht pants. Bright white Bramblewood Knee High Boots with Ivory Piping.
Groomsmen: Bramblewood Long Vests in the colors of your choice. Tradesman Pants, Sleeveless Renaissance Tunics, Ares Knee High Boots, and Belts to tie the looks together.
Bride’s Maids: Bramblewood Crop Vests and Tassets sets made in a softer color to compliment the bride. Warrior Shorts in contrasting hand dyed colors with ivory sleeveless renaissance tunics, Ares Knee High Boots, and belts from our rotating stock.
We can even make something extra fierce to match for a ring bearer!
This is the perfect time to go all out, and we can promise a full kit of Verillas is a better investment than modern formal wear that you’ll only ever enjoy for about 5 hours.
