Join us in New Jersey for this immersive luxury fantasy ball experience!
Throne of Starlight Ball
The grandest night of the year has arrived—the Throne of Starlight Ball, where the realms of Fae gather in a celebration of opulence, power, and hidden desires. Each year, the ball marks the peak of the Fae Queen’s reign over the Night Court, a magical domain where starlight and shadows intertwine, where light and dark share their secret dance. This is a night where the delicate threads of fate are woven, alliances forged, and rivalries simmer beneath the elegant facades.
The Fae Queen, renowned for her mystique and beauty, has summoned the greatest of the Fae to her court. But there is a twist: this year, only those who can master the power of their Fae type—be it Starlight, Shadow, Moonbeam, or Midnight—will be permitted to sit at her side. With the fate of the Night Court hanging in the balance, every attendee must decide where their loyalties lie and what they are willing to risk for power, glory, and love.
As you enter the ball, the air hums with an otherworldly energy. The chandeliers glimmer with stars themselves, casting radiant beams across the ballroom. Fae of every kind swirl in delicate, regal dances, their laughter and whispers echoing in the moonlit space. But beneath the beauty, tensions rise, and the true nature of the night becomes clear.
The Queen’s throne is unclaimed, its starlight flickering. The throne holds not just power, but the heart of the realm itself, and only the strongest of Fae can hope to sit upon it. As the night deepens, the Queen’s power begins to wane. The throne grows colder, and only one Fae can claim it before dawn.
Will you become the next ruler of the Night Court, or will your dreams of power be dashed by those who play the game better? The ball begins. The fate of the Night Court rests in your hands. Choose your path ✨
