Elevator Speech Description
We are experienced creators of VIP-style events inspired by fandoms and themes ranging from cosplay to sci-fi to fantasy. Come get awkward with us.

All the Deets

We host VIP level geek-themed events in and around SE Wisconsin. We're known for the large scale Yule Ball event we hosted annually for 5 years.

Our events are geared toward adults - because you should never have to outgrow your desire to play and celebrate the things you love! We seek out unique spaces and put a lot of effort into the details so each event is a customized one of a kind experience.

It is a priority for us to create spaces for guests to feel comfortable and safe being themselves. We work with venues that are ADA compliant - let us know if you need special accommodations. For every event, we offer delicious cocktail as well as fancy mocktail options. Need an ASL interpreter? We got you - send us a message and we'll take care of it. Your positive experience is our priority.

Annual events include:

  • A large, themed Ball each January (currently The Goblin King Masquerade Ball)
  • Faire Folk Spring Revel (a Ren Faire themed soiree)
  • Made In Nerdwaukee - local makers event of exclusively geeky goods
  • The Awkward Nerd Book Fair - just like the book fair from the 90s, but for grownup nerds!

We believe: Love is Love, BIPOC Lives Matter, No Human is Illegal, Human Rights are for Everyone.

Your Host

Her visions are brought to life by a trusted support group of talented and passionate volunteers, affectionately known as The Nerd Herd.
