Steampunk Meets Kosher Club

The 'Steampunk Meets Kosher Club,' located on the grounds of a camp the bride loved as a girl. The event required a strictly kosher menu, and all foodstuffs had to be trucked, requiring a 10-hour drive.

Carnival vibe

The event team mixed themes to create a steampunk-burlesque-carnival look.

Steampunk ceiling

Here, the steampunk ceiling. Steampunk design elements included Edison wire pieces, distressed wood planks, vintage clocks and lanterns, metal tool boxes, oil cans and metal tubing.

Burlesque Boutique

Thanks to design direction from the bride and groom, the event team created a sexy burlesque area featuring mirrored platforms, mirrored candelabra, art deco serving pieces, Mae West memorabilia, boas and top hats.

At the rustic Latin Station, guests dined on a kosher version of sliced "tenderloin"--actually, the center of a prime rib roast.
