My fiance and I purchased this book as we are planning a medieval wedding. The title and description of this book implied that we would find lots of valuable information on that topic. Well, we found lots of valuable information for feast planning, or putting on a re-enactment (a la Society for Creative Anachronism), and very little concerning period wedding traditions. The most interesting parts were the recipes/redactions and the instructions for medieval dance steps. There are also several pages that contain sheet music for period songs. If you are looking to put on a reenactment or feast, this is the book for you. If you are looking for anything else, I suggest you look elsewhere.

This book is full of great ideas, recipes, clothing, dances and more.I used this as a guide to plan a medieval birthday party and it was fantastic! I would highly recommend this book.

If you are planning a Medieval Celebration of any kind this is a great book to buy. My Fiancee and I have been looking for medieval books to plan our wedding by and I stumbled across this one its been very helpful and I'm sure it will get alot of use. It has many tradations recipes and lots of fun games a must have.

A nice little book covering a multitude of subjects. Was more interested in recipes and costumes, but found the other information fascinating. the costume side of things was good.

Pity its so hard to order from overseas

Just a week before my Medieval Celebration was to take place I got a hold of this book and boy am I glad I did! The parts about tablemanners and customs were invaluable as were the recipes! I made the Wassail drink as a hot welcomedrink and it was very popular amongst the guests with several asking for the recipe. We danced and played games and it was just a blast! I recommend this book for anyone seeking to put some authenticity into their feast and I assure you everything went down like a homesick mole in a hole! Wass Hail

I have found this book to be very useful with the planning of our Medieval Wedding in September Next year. Its great to have a physical resource instead of an e-book for information. I especially like the dances section and the ideas for decorations. Overall I am very satisfied with the purchase of this book. For anyone else planning a Medieval Wedding the key to your Wedding Day being successful is all in the research and the planning!

This is a fantastic resource for learning about medieval celebrations. It gives information such as costumes, decorations, recipes (which are quite yummy!), and even music of the times.
