The masked ball, produced

A night worth dressing up for

Masquerade Party Dallas produces masked balls the way New Orleans throws a parade: with real brass, real ceremony and room for everyone to join in. Whether your guests are driving in from Frisco or staying upstairs in one of the city's Arts District ballrooms, the evening is staged, staffed and timed for you.

We bring the masks, the candles, the gold-and-black florals and the band. You bring the guest list. From luxury hotels for sixty to grand ballrooms for a thousand, the format scales without losing the hush-then-roar rhythm a masquerade needs.

FAQ

Before you mask up

How far in advance should we book a masquerade in Dallas?

For Saturdays, holiday season and Mardi Gras season (January through March), three to six months gives you the best choice of band and date. Weeknight and smaller soirées can often be produced in a few weeks — ask and we will tell you honestly what is open.

Do you bring the masks?

Yes. Every package includes a mask for every guest, and the Grand Gala and above add a mask bar where guests decorate their own or choose a premium Venetian mask.

Is the band really New Orleans–style?

Yes — traditional jazz and brass band instrumentation: trumpet, trombone, clarinet or sax, tuba, snare and bass drum. Expect the standards, brass band favorites and a few party anthems, plus a live second line parade on larger packages.

Can you work in our venue in Richardson or Frisco?

Absolutely. We produce in private country clubs, Arts District ballrooms and luxury hotels across Dallas and the surrounding area. Tell us the venue on the quote form and we will plan around its load-in rules and room shape.

How quickly will I get a price?

Custom quotes go out within 24 hours of your request, built around your guest count, date, venue and the experiences you want.
