Event Description
For one enchanting afternoon, society gathers.
Step into a world of elegance, romance, and timeless charm at The Garden Party, an immersive high-society garden affair inspired by the grandeur of a bygone era. Leave the modern world behind as you enter a beautifully curated afternoon filled with music, florals, dancing, delightful refreshments, and interactive experiences designed to make you feel as though you've stepped into the pages of your favorite romance novel.
Upon your arrival, you will be welcomed into society with your own personalized dance card and formal introduction after ascending the grand staircase to begin your afternoon among fellow guests. Throughout the event, enjoy a curated tea party menu featuring savory tea sandwiches, pastries, macarons, charcuterie cups, fruit displays, and more, accompanied by lavender lemonade, specialty teas, and infused waters.
Wander through the gardens of society as you create your own take-home bouquet from J & S Gardens, embroider a keepsake handkerchief with help from the Green Bay Area Embroiders' Guild of America, paint a decorative fan, learn elegant dance steps from Ballroom by Jay, browse a curated romance bookshop and specialty vendor market, and capture memories at stunning photo moments throughout the event.
As the afternoon unfolds, guests will become part of the story itself through our Garden Party Society Papers, featuring playful submissions and whispers gathered from attendees before the event. With live music filling the air and surprises waiting around every corner, The Garden Party offers more than an event, it is an experience.
Whether you arrive with your closest friends, your book club, or simply a love for beautiful things, prepare to spend an unforgettable afternoon immersed in fantasy, friendship, and the magic of society's most anticipated gathering.
