I love this so, so, so much! It's a thing for adults who love Renaissance faire and who realize they are also in love with Bridgerton, the Netflix series. I felt that it was well put together.
I can only speak from the VIP, since that's what my friends and I all decided on before the event. On that note, VIP means it includes a cocktail with a pin, tote bag, and early admission, whereas regular does not include any of those options and may be a longer wait. There's a coat check in case you would like to change from normal gear into fancy dress and vice versa. Also, there is a gift shop which has the most adorable stuff all Bridgerton related...like tea with the characters from the show, makeup, hoodies, cute Corgi stuffed animals, fans, mugs, necklaces, tiaras, etc. So much in terms of cute things!
Although it seems like a higher women-to-men ratio, I felt it had everything to make your heart melt into a happy puddle. Where do I start?
From the coordinated dancing routines, the wonderful announcements from the royal court, the studio portrait on the fancy royal sofa, and the cute photographable moments. There were other fun things offered like a chance to dance with a gentleman, the bowing to the Queen, also a portion of the time where there were professionals teaching a few dance steps to the very end where we had time to freestyle at the end to classics. There were alcoholic options like wine, cocktails, spirits, all in the Bridgerton themes, and also non-alcoholic options like seltzer and water. I saw food treat boxes labeled sweet, savory, vegan, that you could buy in single or as a pair. I didn't try it, so I can't tell you how it was. The event started at 2 PM, so I ate before I arrived.
How would I describe this experience who want to know if it is worth it?
It felt like a combination of a wedding+watching Bridgerton live+ bachelorette party. I loved the energy of the people who were attending. Ladies were dressed to the 9's in fully decked out in beautiful jewelry and hairstyle just stunning. Even if you don't feel like dressing up, that's okay as well. Do what works for you. It's just most did when I went to the experience yesterday. There were professionals dressed to the part with top hats, corsets, and realistic true to Bridgerton form with hoopskirts from the Regency era and also gorgeous gowns and adorned in frocks that were touching the floor! I recommend this experience, and I just would definitely go again! Tell me when you go so we can go! read more
