From Medieval To Renaissance

The beauty and the romance of these ancient times have been a facination of people since the begining of the modern period. Our cloths, our music, even home decor consistantly show a nostolgia for all things we associciate with the Medieval and Renaissance. Allow us to create an event for you that will indulge this nostolgia.  From dancing, to feasting - from candle light to corsets. We will create an event to remember.

The Medieval period represents almost a thousand years of the music history of Europe.   Much of the music of this time has been lost.  This period is also called the Middle Ages and the Dark Ages.   Many people died of disease during this period.  It was a dark time in history because of ignorance, sickness, and death.  

After the Middle Ages ended, subsequent generations imagined, portrayed and interpreted the Middle Ages in very different ways. Every century has created its own vision of the Middle Ages; the 16th century view of the Middle Ages was entirely different from the 19th century which was different from the 20th century view. The different perceptions of the Middle Ages remain with us today in the form of literature, art, revival styles of architecture, film and popular conception.


As a cultural movement, The Renaissance encompassed a revival of learning based on classical sources, the development of linear perspective in painting, and gradual but widespread educational reform. Traditionally, this intellectual transformation has resulted in the Renaissance being viewed as a bridge between the Middle Ages and the Modern era. Although the Renaissance saw revolutions in many intellectual pursuits, as well as social and political upheaval, it is perhaps best known for its artistic developments and the contributions of such polymaths as Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo, who inspired the term "Renaissance men"
