Page 16a.jpg

Hosted by the Court of the Dragon: Realm of Asgard
 

This year's Magical Ball is hosted by the Court of the Dragon, courtiers of the Most High Faery Queen, queen of all the magical realms. The fantasy ball is a truly extraordinary event that unites the mystical beings from all realms across space and time in a celebration of magic, wonder, and unity.

In the weeks leading up to the ball, whispers of the event spread throughout the magical realms, carried by mystical winds and whispered by ancient spirits.

The Most High Faery Queen sends out invitations to select individuals whose presence she desires at the ball, drawing them into the enchantment of the event. Ticket purchase required to attend.

Will you receive your invitation?

Faery Ball Founder Suzanne Stafford - the Faery Queen
 

I have always loved books filled with magical realms, faeries, and dragons and would imagine myself living in those fantastical worlds. As an adult, even though I loved my design profession, I found working in the corporate world soul-sucking.  For my creative outlet, I started making costumes and dressing up for Halloween, Renaissance festivals, costume parties, any chance I could find.

Moving to this region opened up the amazing world of Mardi Gras. There are so many costumed activities here but still nothing to live out my dream of attending a fantasy ball from a fairytale storybook or movie.

 

One of my favorite movies is Titantic. I love that Rose lived an amazing life of experiences because of Jack’s encouragement. At the time, I didn’t have many friends gone too soon. Then I watched the towers fall with so many lives cut short. Since then, many more names have been added to my list of beloved dead. Some of my dear friends loved to attend fun costumed events.
 

So I created the Faery Court Ball on the MS Gulf Coast as a chance to bring dreams of magical realms to life for one night. Walk the red carpet. Shine your light. Live your dream. Immerse into the magic. Have fun and re-energize your life.  Come play with us.

I do it for the ones that ran out of time.

 

I do it for me – to make the most of my one sweet life.

 

I do it for the younger generations watching.

 

What others will see my example of living life to the fullest and be inspired to live their dreams?

Thank You 2025 Sponsors!

What Previous Guests Say About the Faery Court Ball

Keshia B., Long Beach

The Faery Ball was an absolutely magical experience for me! It has been one of the few events that I’ve attended since moving to the coast where I felt entirely free to be myself and interact with others who had similar interests! Everyone I met was so sweet and open to talking. The costumes were phenomenal and the vendors who came out had some of the most gorgeous items! I could rave for hours about the amount of fun I had last year and with the location change this year I can only imagine that it will be even more spectacular! I love that the Faery Court supports the local non profits.

Skye W., Gulfport

The Faery Ball, for my family, is more than just a dress-up-themed ball. My oldest child has been volunteering with Suzanne, the creator since she was 15. Fast forward five years and at 20 is now in college for Coding and Programming and the Faery Court Princess and Volunteer Coordinator.
  I brought my then 14-year-old son into the Faery Court family two years ago. He appeared as Tim the Enchanter from The Holy Grail at the 3rd Ball. His very first assignment was to be the volunteer assigned to the entertainment. He was just as popular as the people hired to entertain the guests. He has Aspergers and ADHD, so understanding social cues among his peers is difficult for him. At the Faery Ball, he discovered that grown-ups are much more forgiving than his peers and grown-ups understand his references to pop culture and movie quotes. He looks forward to the annual Faery Ball.

Jesse B., Daphne, AL

This was fun! Lots of great people run the thing and show up to it!
Jesse was so much fun at the Christmas dance. He wowed us with his dancing. They left saying it was the best night ever!
Kaleb S.  I bartended this a couple of years ago!!! The costumes/gowns are phenomenal!!! I would LOVE to go!
