We recently designed an interesting and offbeat after party at the Marriott Marquis that took haunted to a new level. This Macabre Victorian Carnival was a sexy and whimsical period-styled affair that amazed attendees. Circus-style sideshow entertainment, elegant and mysterious vignettes, and energetic dance music transported the guests to another world.
After rocking through dinner with the Temptations, guests exited the dining room and were greeted by a ghoulish Tree Man. Victorian entertainers led attendees downstairs to the after party’s chilling entrance way- complete with fountains, fog, and gothic garden statuary.
Inside, multiple residential furniture groupings and tall communal tables offered guests the chance to mix and mingle. The Austrian and fiber optic drapes were book-ended by two 14′ Magnolia trees and set behind an eerie sculpture garden. Innovative activities like digital silhouette artists and fortune tellers were tucked away in sheer fabric alcoves, while a Zoltar machine, interactive candy bars, and two stylized photo booths were scattered throughout. Guests could also try their hand at vintage carnival games and root for the winner at the hermit crab races.
