WHAT AWAITS BEHIND THE VEIL
A Closer Look at The Night’s Requiem
Not all invitations are written in ink. Some are carried by candlelight, tucked between dream and memory, waiting to find those brave enough to step into something unknown. This is your first glimpse inside.
THE SETTING | WHERE TIME STOPS
The Night’s Requiem will take place within the candlelit stone walls of Summerour Studio in Atlanta—an Italian-inspired villa nestled in the city’s heart. Once you pass through its wrought-iron gates and ivy-covered brick, the mundane world falls away.
The courtyard flickers with soft lights. The fog rolls in. Distant music hums. Shadows stretch long with promise. The House has been expecting you.
THE GATHERING | YOUR ARRIVAL
From the moment the doors open at 7:00 p.m., guests will enter into a fully immersive experience. The air will smell faintly of clove and smoke. Candles—hundreds of them—will line archways, staircases, and banquet tables.
A masked host greets you. The barkeep offering majestic Elixirs. The ballroom pulses with anticipation.
Here, you are not a spectator—you are part of the story.
What to expect upon entry:
VIP guests will be personally escorted—either to their private lounge with early access, soft candlelight, and signature drinks, or to the heart of the evening: the Grand Hall. There, you’ll be greeted not by fanfare, but by feeling.
The Reverie Market stretches before you, lined with flickering candles, velvet-draped tables, and creators offering everything from rare books to handcrafted talismans. The scent of incense mingles with perfume. Laughter echoes off stone.
The bar is open and flowing freely. Your first drink? A gift from the House: a signature welcome cocktail, crafted to awaken the senses and begin the descent into Reverie.
A live string quartet fills the air with melancholic beauty—classical, haunting, romantic.
THE FEAST | INDULGENCE BY DESIGN
This is not a sit-down dinner. It is an evening of movement, mystery, and delicious discovery.
Tables overflow with lavish hors d’oeuvres, artfully styled across antique platters and dark floral arrangements. Think:
Caramelized fig tartlets with whipped chèvre
Prosciutto-wrapped endive with balsamic glaze
Rosemary gougères, pomegranate arancini, and beet-cured salmon on rye
Later in the night, a dessert bar appears like a dream:
Flourless chocolate cake bites
Rosewater panna cotta in coupe glasses
Sugar-dusted meringues and gilded macarons
Tiny vials of cordials or after-dinner elixirs for those who linger late
Every dish is designed to feel decadent, fleeting, and just a bit otherworldly.
THE LIBATIONS | AN OPEN BAR OF SPELLS AND SPIRITS
A full open bar will offer craft cocktails inspired by the House and its lore. Behind the bar, you may find mixologists dressed as alchemists, apothecaries, or poets.
Signature cocktails include:
The Requiem — blackberry + violet + bourbon smoke
Ash & Echo — lavender gin, elderflower, black salt rim
The Gilded Flame — blood orange vodka, rosemary, prosecco
Plus a selection of wine, spirits, non-alcoholic cocktails, and sparkling options
THE MARKET | CRAFT, CURIOSITIES, AND SPELLBOUND PAGES
The Reverie Market is a curated experience within the event—a place to wander and collect stories.
You’ll find:
Authors of gothic fantasy and dark romance, signing books and offering exclusive editions
Artisans selling handmade goods, jewelry, ritual candles, and curiosities
A custom bookbinding station, where your journal or novel may be rebound in velvet or leather
Printmakers, mask crafters, calligraphers, and more
Every vendor was chosen for their ability to enchant, not just sell.
THE IMMERSION | A NIGHT ALIVE WITH ART
This is where House of Reverie sets itself apart: you won’t just see the magic—you’ll feel it.
Throughout the evening:
Live painting will unfold in real-time as a renowned artist captures the night on canvas
Ballroom performances will sweep across the floor—waltzes, contemporary duets, and unexpected moments of ritual
The tattoo parlor, tucked behind velvet curtains, offers flash tattoos for those who want to carry the House’s mark
Immersive actors move among the guests—whispering secrets, delivering riddles, or inviting you into unexpected encounters
Photographers, hidden in plain sight, capture editorial-style portraits so you’ll never forget how you looked beneath the mask
FOR THOSE WHO DARE TO GO DEEPER | THE VEILED INVITATION
Those who possess The Veiled Invitation—our limited VIP ticket—receive access to an even more intimate chapter.
The night prior, they’ll gather in secret:
A candlelit welcome reception with drinks and soft music
Exclusive early entry to the ball, one hour before the doors open
A curated gift bag, crafted to echo the night
Access to a private lounge within the ballroom—lush seating, signature bar, and curated bites just you for.
A FINAL WORD
This is not a convention. It is not a costume party. It is not a theme night.
It is a night suspended in time, a carefully orchestrated dream shared by strangers who long for something more.
If you're looking for an escape, a memory, or a spark—you’ve found it.
The veil lifts February 21st.
Will you be among the Chosen?
