Dusk & Velvet: A Garden Soirée

Friday, March 27th | 6:30 – 8:30 PM | The Phoenix Courtyard

There is a specific kind of stillness that happens in a garden at golden hour. As the sun dips low and the string lights flicker on, we’re gathering in the Phoenix Courtyard for an evening of slow dining and artistry.

This isn't just a dinner; it’s an invitation to exhale and spend a few hours immersed in a setting designed for the senses. The heart of the night is an abundant spread of elevated garden fare, savory bites, and signature hot tea, followed by a selection of sweets and petit fours. Between courses, enjoy live acoustic music as you visit our Bloom Bar to design a custom bouquet and join Susan from Paper Arts for a fine painting session to create your own hand-painted fan.

The Evening Includes:

• An abundant spread of elevated garden fare and signature hot tea
• A seasonal selection of sweets and petit fours
• Fine painting class with Susan from Paper Arts
• The Bloom Bar experience to design your own special bouquet
• Live acoustic music to set the mood

Dress Code: We invite you to dress for the mood in flowing fabrics, whimsical silhouettes, and romantic florals—think deep mauves, dusty pinks, and rich textures. Finish the look with a garden hat.
