Code of Conduct

All participants must be at least eighteen (18) years of age with government issued photo ID. No minors are allowed without express, written approval by The Church management.

NO harassment of others at the ball itself or on social media! The Arcane Vampire Ball is a diverse community that welcomes all genders, legal age groups, ethnicities, national origins, religions, sexual orientations, and more. Harassment of any patron in any form will not be tolerated and may result in banishment from the event or community without a refund at the discretion of management.

NO DRINKING OF BLOOD, bloodletting, or the exchange of bodily fluids allowed at the Arcane Vampire Ball! For the health and safety of everyone attending, all blood used must be fake/theatrical.

You are required to respect the personal space of others. There will be NO touching or photography without consent allowed.

A strict minimum dress code will be enforced at the door. Please refer to the dress code page to learn more or visit our Pinterest Board for inspiration.

NO ILLEGAL DRUGS PERMITTED! Any individual caught using or possessing illegal drugs will be ejected immediately and may be turned over to a law enforcement agency. This also includes marijuana, which by Colorado law is permitted for at-home use only.

Do NOT interrupt a performance by an artist while in progress. Be polite, quiet, and respectful. If you do not want to watch a performance, stand outside the crowd or navigate to a different area of the venue.

The Arcane Vampire Ball is NOT primarily a fetish or BDSM event. Some events may include performances or play spaces that involve some elements. All activities shall remain consensual, safe, tasteful, and will have designated spaces such as a “dungeon” overseen by an appointed Dungeon Master or Mistress acting as a safety monitor.

All patrons attend as individuals. Leave non-vampire ball titles and politics outside the event and the community.

This especially includes alcoholic beverages.

Professional photography or videography must be pre-approved in writing by AVB management, and we will issue you an official AVB media laminate. You may use your personal devices to take photographs or video for personal use only with permission from all individuals who are being photographed or filmed. Please use the hashtag #arcanevampireball when posting on social media.

The Arcane Vampire Ball is considered a public event. However, both management of the AVB and The Church reserve the right to refuse service to anyone.

The Arcane Vampire Ball strives to create a safe place to escape the world outside. Please refrain from discussing real world events and politics at the ball and within the community to help maintain the fantasy and atmosphere.

For the security of everyone attending, all patrons will be subject to pat downs upon entering the building. Patrons who feel unsafe or uncomfortable with the conduct of others are encouraged to immediately report the situation to a Church staff member or AVB personnel.

There will be no promoting, recruiting, or distribution of fliers for non-affiliated events or organizations without permission from both The Church and AVB management.

No weapons of any kind will be permitted! This includes costume weapons unless they are for use in performances and have been permitted in advance by The Church management.
