After The Night’s Requiem, something within it shifted.
Subtle at first, then impossible to ignore.
What was once familiar no longer moves the same.
The air lingers differently.
Certain doors no longer open when expected.
Rumors followed.
Of velvet corridors. Of flickering light. Of a spectacle that does not announce itself.
only reveals itself to those already inside.
The Midnight Menagerie is the House’s second chapter.
A nocturnal ball where performance, indulgence, and quiet spectacle intertwine.
What began as a requiem has given way to something more curious.
More theatrical. Less easily understood.
Guests will find themselves drawn into a series of encounters.
some fleeting, some impossible to ignore.
Not everything will be revealed at once. And not everything is meant to be understood.a hoUse of sPectacLe
From the moment you arrive, the evening begins to unfold slowly, deliberately.
Candlelight flickers against velvet and shadow.
Florals feel less like decoration, more like something placed with intention.
Figures appear, disappear, and reappear when least expected.
The Midnight Menagerie is not designed to be followed. It is meant to be wandered.
01 / Revelries & Libations
Indulgence reveals itself in quiet, intentional ways.
Throughout the evening, elevated bites and late-night offerings move seamlessly through the room. never announced, always arriving at just the right moment.
At the bar, signature cocktails and spirit-free pours are crafted to mirror the mood of the night: rich, layered, and just a touch unexpected.
02 / Curious Encounters
Not everything reveals itself at once.
Throughout the evening, figures move quietly through the room. appearing, disappearing, and returning when least expected. Moments unfold without announcement. Some are fleeting. Others linger.
You may find yourself drawn into them… or simply observing from a distance.
03 /The Reverie Market
A gathering of authors, artisans, and beautifully unusual finds.
Curated for those drawn to pieces with a story. a little darker, a little stranger, and all the more exquisite for it.
The VenuepUritan Mill
Set within one of Atlanta’s most atmospheric industrial spaces, Puritan Mill offers the perfect backdrop for the House’s next chapter. Historic brick, soaring interiors, and old-world character make it an ideal canvas for a night of theatrical elegance and beautifully controlled chaos.
For The Midnight Menagerie, the space will be transformed into a world of candlelight, shadow, spectacle, and revelry.
