"It doesn't !! That's why we are looking for the right party for us ! However we like the idea of a masquerade ball in a mansion or castle .... Loads of people organise fancy dress parties x" been an idea we've kick around for a while but the logistics and costings could be a nightmare. We were shocked at the amount of people who believed entry to a Dutch club was to much for UK market!! | |||

"Since when does stickin a tux and a mask on suddenly make a group of people 'high class' ? Who's up for a fancy dress shagfest ? could be an alternative title " My thoughts exactly. High class people don't mix with hoi polloi such as us I might just scrape into a Middle class event if I keep my mouth shut and they don't have a strict weight code | |||

"There's no such thing as high class, or so called exclusive events. KK and others just promote themselves in this way to entice people in - any idiot can go as long as you pay. They're not high class or exclusive in any way. I've been to most of the so called high-brow events in London and there's nothing classy about them I can assure you. It's false advertising." Have to totally agree with above just a way of charging a lot but not delivering, having tried a couple of such events. | |||

"It's not about the money - it's about the people / atmosphere / etc .... Clearly this is more difficult than anticipated. Perhaps such events are more private on a word of mouth basis ?? " After spending quite some time looking in the past, we think the truth is that there really aren't that many events of this type in this country. Or at least, not ones that come close to the EWS scenes we're all familiar with. | |||

"Anyone know of any very classy black tie or masquerade swingers events - eyes wide shut type ?? " There are events in the UK and Europe that provide these type of parties. They are usually invite only or you have to know the right people to get to know about them. You wont find them via free swing websites thats for sure. | |||

"Anyone any ideas ? " Stand for parliament ? Get a top job in broadcasting ? Win lots of money and become a socialite ? Move to London ? Or Sandbanks ? Get yourself seen in Hello or Cheshire Life ? Organise one yourself with a few select friends ? Every couple brings another couple not known to the others. Start off small and work at making it bigger over time | |||

"Okay question! How much would you be prepared to pay for an exclusive masquerade ball for a couple and or a single? Hi end event, in country house with own pool etc. One off, summer time sort for thing " I would think you've got to be looking at around 100 quid a couple without hotel costs to get something really good going, Then it's all a matter of what people want, do people want a party that is just themed, or do they want the whole 9 yards ball room and orchestra type party | |||

"And the other major issue is payment, nobody is going To have the money to shell out for the outlay of the event, and then how do you recoupe the money, because nobody is going to want to send a stranger of a swingers site 100 quid " If a secure payment and holding site was used like a few of the festivals and parties we have been to people would feel a lot more comfortable. | |||

"So if I looked in to it would there be interest, also would people prefer a buffet or sit down meal? I just think sitting down for a meal with masks would be a bit weird" That's a big YES from us (depending on preliminary location and date). Nice idea if it takes off . Judging by the posts so far there's definitely interest A finger buffet would work well. | |||

"There is a couple from North who arranges special "parties" all based on "Eyes Wide Shut" in a large estate house. However sadly it's invite only and then they "check" you out. Been once, missed out 2nd time and since then no more invites... but was very classy and nice " You see this smacks of elitism to me, I would rather it would just be like a social but in a nice hotel and with the theme 6 glam it up a bit, rather than it been out of reach for people | |||

"I kind of agree, as long as people can conduct themselves appropriately no problem. It's more down to the venue. Opulent venue, yes please! industrial unit....not so much..." See, to me, that is the challenge. Effectively, the venue risks being tarred with the wrong brush if it is found supporting such events. Ideally places like a wedding venue which offers limited sleeping accommodation but has a decent function space would be ideal. BUT how is this managed ? It only takes 1 catering assistant with a gob on them to ruin the venues reputation in the eyes of many. Hence why, I suspect, many are held in private venues. | |||

If I had to make a call on it and it was my livelihood that could suffer at the expense of supporting someone elses lifestyle, I am afraid I would act on the side of caution. That said, I hope you find somewhere supportive, as there does seem to be a lot of support for such a venture. | |||

A Scottish social was going go be held in such a place, word got out and it was in the papers, and the event had to be cancelled | |||

"Once the couples are decided on, maybe get take applications from 4/6 tasty single men to 'wait' on the guests too ? The ladies get to short list and choose No touching of the guests allowed : at least until later in the evening I know that's awfully chauvanistic of me towards single guys, but am sure there must be applicants out there, somewhere, willing to wear a tux and a mask whilst serving canapes and champers " I'd interview these - i'm very selfless! xx | |||
