Feasting and merriment abound at any event or party with a renaissance theme!

Ideal for holiday parties, bar mitzvahs, company parties and school events! ARFJFU offers  many services to make your banquet perfect! Large or small, each party is meticulously planned and executed. Our experienced staff can provide catering, decoration, costuming and entertainment.

As your guests enter the hall, the smells of roasting meats, exotic spices and special dishes permeate the air; the sight of long tables lit by dozens of candles, laden with succulent fruits and fresh breads, the walls covered in heraldic banners and flags meet their eyes; the festive sounds of a small group of musicians playing softly in the background meets their ears; they are greeted by a loud trumpeted announcement.. Let the rejoicing begin!

Decoration: We can turn your reception hall into a romantic feast hall with wooden and metal platters, bowls and goblets for the guests, candelabras, banners in vibrant colors, tapestries, and more..

Costuming: We can make beautiful renaissance or medieval clothing for the hosts of the party itself, or rental costumes for your guests, fantasy to authentic historical clothing.

Entertainment: Court Jesters, musicians, acting troupes and storytellers are but a part of the entertainment. We can also include a herald, pages and serving wenches to enhance the experience of your feast.

Feasting: Menus planning ranges from light summer fare to full seven-course meals - all served feasting style to your guests by our serving wenches and knaves.

Picnic in high style or enjoy the fruits of the earth in a 'peasants meal'.

For parties of two to twenty, we offer this special service; cozy and secluded picnics for small parties.

 As you walk through the woods or a lovely park guided along by a peasant villager; you suddenly come into a shady meadow glade and see a sumptuous repast spread for your pleasure on a cloth on the ground. As you and your companions dine, a musician softly plays in the background. Later, enjoy a medieval game of rounders or dicing or perhaps bocce before the end of the day.
