FAQ

Is this event for couples only? Haunted Lovers draws inspiration from the legend of the Fort Garry Hotel’s haunted bride and the dark, enduring passions of Gothic tales such as Wuthering Heights, Dracula, and Frankenstein. Their themes of longing, loss, obsession, and love beyond the grave set the atmosphere for an evening of haunting encounters and gothic romance.

“Lovers” is an invitation to everyone enchanted by that world. Come with a partner, gather your friends, or arrive solo. It is for singles, couples, and kindred spirits of all genders and orientations are welcome. No romantic plus one required.

Dress code:
Our dress code is Masquerade, Fantasy, Gothic, Romantic, and Dark Formal. Guests are encouraged to wear elevated, dramatic pieces such as gowns, corsets, tailored suits, lace, velvet, and rich textures in darker tones. Masks are strongly encouraged as part of the experience, allowing you to step into a more mysterious, expressive version of yourself for the night. Most importantly, choose something that feels intentional, immersive, and aligned with the atmosphere. This is a night to embody a mood, not just an outfit.

Dress your best! But be comfortable. If a dress or suit isn’t your thing you don’t need to wear one. But you do need to look your best. Check out our blog post on what to wear. The dress code is JUST a guideline but highly encouraged.

Weapons/props/security:
We will have a team of security checking bags, IDs and fake weapons/props. If anything might be offensive or dangerous we will hold onto it until the end of the night. Security will be there to protect us and make sure the night goes smoothly. We will have some Narcan/Naloxone kits just in case.

Scammers:
BEWARE scammers. The only place to get information is through our verified social media channels. Our website or by contacting hello@thewickedbazaar.com
