Pictures on social media are going viral for an event on Sunday which organizers billed as a chance for fans to “step into the enchanting world of the Regency-era … for an evening of sophistication, grace and historical charm.” Tickets were priced from $150 to $1,000.
The reality, say some attendees, was a disorganized and bare-bones event that left costumed attendees sitting on the floor amid vendors selling Kit Kats and watching a stripper who was hired as the evening’s entertainment. The event is drawing comparisons to the infamous (and unofficial) Willy Wonka Experience that earned global headlines back in March.
The event organizer Uncle N Me LLC on Tuesday released this statement to WXYZ: “We understand that not everyone had the experience they hoped for at our most recent event Sunday night at The Harmonie Club, and for that, we sincerely apologize. Our intention was to provide a magical evening, but we recognize that organizational challenges affected the enjoyment of some guests. We take full responsibility and accountability for these shortcomings. Please know that we are working diligently to address all concerns to ensure that all guests have the enjoyable experience they deserve …we are committed to doing everything in our power to make this right.”
