THE GARDEN OF EARTHLY DELIGHTS GALA - All Inclusive
A little French Quarter decadence. A little Detroit darkness.
Step beyond the ordinary and into an evening of beautiful darkness, exquisite indulgence and forbidden pleasures.
For one extraordinary night, our historic house, secluded grounds and studio become a world of their own.
Sip handcrafted cocktails by CVRSES beneath the gazebo bar, indulge in wine and absinthe, wander through candlelit parlors and discover captivating performances within the house. Gather around an extravagant feast of savory delights and decadent sweets. Lose yourself in live music and burlesque, and surrender to an evening of mystery, ritual and revelry.
Three distinct environments. One unforgettable night beginning at 9PM.
THE HOUSE
The Absinthe Den
A little French Quarter decadence with absinthe, antique records and intimate conversation. Settle into the parlor and let the evening unfold.
The Listening Room
Explore the mysteries of the house through a self-guided spirit-box experience. Gather with a few friends, listen closely and discover what the night might reveal.
The Inner Sanctum
The heart of the house. Gather by the candlelit hearth, surrounded by autumnal decadence, and discover the pentacle beneath your feet—a place some believe to be a portal between worlds.
The Marquis’s Chamber
Enter the intimate world of the Marquis de la Mort for optional ritual experiences. Availability is limited.
The Surrender
An intimate exploration of ritual, power and surrender. A darker, adults-only performance for those who choose to witness it.
The house begins as an elegant setting for conversation and exploration. As the night deepens, its darker performances awaken after 11:30 PM.
THE SECLUDED GROUNDS
Firelight, cocktails and conversation beneath the night sky.
Wander between the house and studio, where our secluded outdoor gathering spaces offer a little escape from the ordinary.
Enjoy handcrafted cocktails by CVRSES beneath the gazebo bar, gather around the firelight and discover our private, hedge-enclosed gathering area.
A place to linger, mingle and lose track of time.
THE GRAND REVELRY
Music, decadence and beautiful excess.
Enter the studio, where the evening unfolds in a celebration of live entertainment, extravagant feasting and unexpected delights.
Lonesome Skeleton Band
Live music to set the mood and build the night's revelry.
CRUNE
Our featured musical headliner, bringing the evening to its dramatic peak.
Burlesque & Beautiful Mischief
A captivating burlesque performance with a touch of French Quarter cabaret. Keep an eye out for a mysterious strolling character mingling among the revelers throughout the evening.
The Feast of Mortimer
Gather around an extravagant banquet of charcuterie, savory delights and decadent sweets, presided over by Mortimer himself.
A lavish feast designed for indulgence, grazing and lingering throughout the evening.
The Velvet Boudoir
A sumptuous, intimate retreat for those who wish to slip away from the revelry and enjoy a little conversation.
THE AFTERGLOW

When the spirits stop flowing, the evening doesn't have to end quite yet.
Stay awhile. Enjoy water, unwind, share a final conversation and take your time returning to the ordinary world.
