Having A Gangster Wedding - Need Ideas

Hi guys - having a gangster themed wedding in March, 2005 - We have heaps of ideas so far but we are always looking for any other advice or info....Anyone know any great jazz/swing bands in the Brisbane area? Any ideas for decorations, the reception, etc...? Know of any good 1920/30`s rental car companies? By the way this is trying to be all done on a tight budget!!!

Hi,
Cool theme, theres a site under vendors/decorations that makes foam molds, u can paint/glitter them yourself. You can get saxophones, trumpets, musicnotes etc. Maybe hang em from the ceiling or make centerpices. I would also try to find some wooden barrel kegs like they had back in prohibition. Maybe some old cigar boxes & cigars around too. Also "stumps" is a prom company that has really cool theme decorations and ideas you might check out there site. They have old lamp posts etc. Good luck and have fun!

Do you mean Brisbane, Australia???
If so there`s a nice Jazz club at Kangaroo Point, and also one in the City near the Roma Street Station, not sure of prices though and they could be quite costly. When is your wedding? Of you`re looking for a band it might be worthwhile to put up a notice at the Griffith Conservatorium of Music as you would find heaps of excellent jazz bands that would love the chance to pick up some extra cash. Hope this helps (hope we`re talking about the same City)
