Dress Code & Masks

The evening is formal — black-tie optional. We invite you to dress in deep jewel tones: oxblood ruby, plum, emerald, sapphire, and antique gold.

More than anything, we value your comfort — so dress to the spirit of the masquerade at whatever level feels right to you.

We also invite every guest to wear a mask. Bring your own, or one will be waiting for you at the door. Masks will be used for the grand entrance and a few staged moments. Set yours aside whenever you like to eat, drink, and dance.
