Steampunk Savannah

Savannah has so many wonderful places for events with  Steampunk or Victorian themes.  

This post is inspired by a Steampunk wedding held recently in Bonaventure Cemetery.  

Steve Shulte and Raven Clark did what they do so well......officiate and oversee!

So inspired by the pictures of the wedding was I, that I hied (yes, I did look it up) 
myself thither. (had to look that one up too) 
I expected to feel the ghostly presence of a time long, long ago. 
 Instead, my fingers channeled Elvis. 

Of course I got to daydreaming about what I would wear if I got married in Bonaventure Cemetery...


.....just daydreaming in a beautiful, peaceful place.   

Gotta Love the Love Songs!

Don't Forget the Music!

You've got the rings ........

You've got the bling   

You've got the dress

You remembered the shoes

Don't forget the MUSIC!

Music can lighten a mood, underscore the solemnity of an event, or just make everyone feel good. The music for your ceremony provides the mood for the event so, because music is such an important contributor to the atmosphere of your wedding, you want to make sure that the music you choose is appropriate for both you and your guests.  

Are you a lover of all things traditional or are you a trend setter?  

Your wedding music should reflect what you love!

Prelude music is meant to entertain your guests as they anticipate your arrival.  

Do you want a specific genre of music such as Classical, Celtic or Country? 

Perhaps an entertaining 'mash-up' of popular love songs and oldies is more your style.

The 'Oldies' are guaranteed to bring back memories for your older guests. 

  

What kind of music do you love? 

I'm looking for new music to learn.......give me some ideas!

They've opened the new North Garden now and it is SPECTACULAR!

Not sure who took this picture in 2011 but thank you to the bride for sending me a copy.   

Bonaventure Cemetery

Good place for Steampunk weddings or just to sit and contemplate......

Wormsloe Ruins 

Savannah Railroad Roundhouse

Great wedding or event venue.  Love playing here!

Bonna Bella Marina

I take family to Bonna Bella whenever they're in town, 

but never thought of it as a wedding venue till I saw 

Greg Ceo's pictures of a wedding held here recently. 

   I almost forgot the Fragrant Garden in Forsyth Park!  

The wedding I played for at the Fragrant Garden was quiet, intimate and perfect!
