Simply Ball

Ball Theme

The theme for the Simply ball in 2024 is Villains! Every story told since the beginning of time has included a villain, and they are some of the most interesting people in the story. Choose someone that you would like to portray, and go for it! We do ask that you keep it classy, and we reserve the right to refuse entry to anyone dressed in rags, ripped jeans or similarly attired. For example if you intend to come as Harley Quinn – then think of red ballgown, not stained shirt, shorts, fishnets and baseball bat.

Sunday 27th October 2024

7:00pm-12:30am

The Ball at Simply Wellington is the main event – lose yourself in a night of sheer bliss.

Te Papa is one of New Zealand’s most spectacular venues and we are privileged to be having our Ball there again this year. The Ball will be held in the same room as last year owing to the fantastic feedback received last year and the beautiful dance floor. With spectacular surroundings, views over Wellington harbour and lots of parking, this a wonderful venue to be at.

It all kicks off with professional photos as you arrive, a couple of waltzes, followed by a three course meal. Enjoy fabulous music and dance all night in an atmosphere second to none.

Included this year is a complementary high quality digital photo from our professional photographer.  Make sure you arrive in time to have your photo taken!

Doors open at 7:00pm and dinner starts at 7:30pm, so we suggest that you don’t need to be at Te Papa before 7:00pm. Seating is unallocated, you simply choose which table you want to sit at when you get there. Tables seat 10 people. A bar is available so please do not BYO drinks. The bar will have EFT-POS available.

Dress in smart attire, either in theme or in standard ball outfits. For standard ball outfits we suggest that ladies dress in their finest – men, a tie is preferred and black tie is optional. Anyone wearing jeans, t-shirts or trainers will be refused entry. If in doubt, please check with the event organisers by emailing simply@idance.co.nz.

All tickets are sold in advance and bookings close 14 days before the event. Please let us know if you have any dietary requirements when you register. We must be made aware of any dietary requirements by the 11th October. AFTER the 11th NO dietary adjustments will be available.
