Friday, August 14 | 6-9pm | Lake Pointe Hall | The Secret Garden Soiree

Friday evening is the heart of the weekend: an immersive, candlelit dinner experience designed to bring together the elegance of a fantasy ball and the warmth of a dinner party. Guests will enjoy:
* A multiple-course meal cooked by a private chef
* Indoor, air-conditioned venue with garden and lakeside sunset views
* Bottomless beer and wine
* Live music
* Immersive performances
* Build your own flower crowns
* Lush florals and garden-inspired ambiance
* Portraits along the lake
* Creative crafts and whimsical touches
* Space to sit, linger, and build real connections
Come dressed in your garden fantasy best—flowing gowns, romantic silhouettes, floral details, soft magic, and whatever makes you feel most enchanted!
Saturday, August 15 | 7-10 pm | The Barn at Levi Oaks | Magic Hour Movie Night
Included in VIP Admission ONLY
For those who want the full weekend experience, Saturday night continues the story in a more relaxed and dreamy way. Think the perfect summer night, twinkling lights, popcorn, wine, laughter, and a little movie magic! Guests will enjoy:
* Outdoor garden cinema experience!
* Movie-inspired snacks
* Bottomless beer and wine
* Floral crafts
* Local authors and vendors
* A relaxed indoor (and air conditioned!) atmosphere for deeper connection
Saturday is designed to feel easy, cozy, and magical—the perfect second chapter after Friday’s candlelit soirée!
