What is in a masquerade package?
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.
Frequently asked questions
Do you supply masks for guests?
We can arrange hosts to hand out masks. Tell us your numbers and style when you enquire.
Is masquerade only for black tie?
No. It works for black tie, but also for themed parties and birthdays with a more relaxed dress code.
How much do masquerade performers cost in the UK?
There is no one fixed price. Every event is different. Prices depend on the acts, the number of performers, timings, travel and location, so we quote each booking individually. Send us your date, venue and timings and we will come back with a clear quote, usually the same day.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can. Friday and Saturday dates in December and the summer months go first, often months ahead. Short notice is sometimes possible, so it is always worth asking.
Can the performers match our theme or brand colours?
Usually, yes. Tell us your theme, colours or brand guidelines and we will suggest the costumes and acts that fit best.
Do you work with our venue and event team?
Yes. We agree access, changing space, timings and any venue rules before the day, and work to your run of show.
