What is a masquerade theme?
A masquerade ball is all about mystery: masked living statues, elegant hosts, live music and dramatic costumes that make guests feel like they have stepped into Venice.
It suits gala dinners, charity balls, new year parties and black-tie events.

Tips from our team
- 1
Masks at the door
Hosts handing out masks gets everyone into the theme straight away.
- 2
Go dramatic with lighting
Low, warm lighting and candles make masked performers look their best.
- 3
Unmask at midnight
A timed unmasking with the performers is a great new year moment.
