“Love is the madness that makes the heart fearless and the soul eternal.”

​

Step into a world of fantasy, dark romance, and eternal love

​

The invitation came as a soft whisper, a gentle caress on the neck yet so intentional. The ball and its promises beckoned like a tender pull into a whirlwind of fantasy.

You knew what was to come, at least in part. The decadence of food and drink, the endless dancing, the secretive messages and grandeur of the ballroom, all were vows made already.

But the mystery of your destiny remained, how would you embrace the call of eternity? By yourself? With trusted companions? Or with an already loving hand in yours?

The choice is yours, dear one.

 

“Whatever our souls are made of, they remain bound together beyond life and death.”

 

This event is 21+

A Rose for Valentine’s

This ball is for everyone, whether you are single, ready to mingle, attending with a significant other, or neither!

You can pick a rose to indicate where you stand

 

Red - I have my love already

White - I am hoping to find love tonight

Black - I do not wish to participate, but I want a rose!

 

​

“Devotion is the heartbeat of eternity, flowing quietly yet endlessly.”

 

​

Dress code

 

While we understand that not everyone has a ballgown or 3 piece suit on hand, this is a fantasy formal event, and we insist on the dress code.

 

Black tie, fantasy, or formal attire required, as you will be turned away if only wearing jeans and a t-shirt

 

​

“The soul that loves never perishes, and devotion endures beyond all comprehension.”
