A Candlelit Masquerade 💌
🕯️ Whispers in the Dark: A Candlelit Masquerade 💌
A night of masked mystery, live music, and over a thousand candles glowing with possibility.
To Lovers, Dreamers, and Disguised Desires—
There are nights that whisper instead of shout. That glow instead of dazzle. Where the world quiets… and connection blooms in the hush between heartbeats.
Welcome to Whispers in the Dark: A Candlelit Masquerade — a one-night-only gathering for the romantically inclined and curiously enchanted.
Inside an intimate, dimly lit room bathed in the glow of over 1,000 candles, you'll be swept into a living dream of shadow and flame. A live string quartet fills the space with hauntingly beautiful renditions of modern love songs, while masked guests exchange glances, letters, and maybe something more.
This isn’t a party.
It’s a mood.
It’s a secret.
It’s what happens when desire decides to dress up.
🔥 WHAT TO EXPECT:
🎭 A True Masquerade
Every guest arrives masked — not optional, required (until 10:30pm). Mystery is powerful. When you don’t know someone’s name, you pay attention to their presence.
🕯️ Over 1,000 Candles
We’re not being poetic. There will be literally 1,000 candles casting shadows across velvet walls and whispered corners.
No overhead lights. Just firelight and desire.
🎻 A Live String Quartet
Forget background music. This is a performance that pulls you under — modern love songs reimagined as haunting, heart-tugging chamber music. (Think: Frank Ocean on a cello.)
🍸 An Open Bar All Evening
Let the cocktails flow as freely as the conversations.
Mixed drinks, seltzers, etc. —all included. Whether you're sipping something strong or slow, this is your night to indulge.
👗 ATTIRE: Decadent Noir
Dress like your reflection stopped you in your tracks.
Dark elegance, rich fabrics, sensual silhouettes.
Deep reds, midnight blacks, gold, ivory.
Masks can be ornate, minimalist, playful, or mysterious — just make it you… enhanced.

To slow glances and flickering courage.
To masked hearts and candlelit invitations.
Let the shadows dance. Let the music stir.
Let someone find you.
Yours softly,
The Spice King of Zanzibar 🕯️🎭🎻
Footnote: I do not make money from these events and I do it as a passionate hobby and a community building exercise. Your ticket helps pay for staff, decorations, the freaking String Quartet, alcohol, etc. I don't want to turn away anyone who cannot afford a ticket so if that is you, just shoot a message and we can discuss.
