The masked ball, produced
Masquerade Party San Francisco 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 Sausalito or staying upstairs in one of the city's historic ballrooms, the evening is staged, staffed and timed for you.
Every package includes masks for every guest, décor that turns a standard room into a candlelit ballroom, and live music. Larger nights add a mask bar, costumed characters, stilt walkers and a full New Orleans brass band leading a second line straight through the room.
