Itinerary
Day 1
Meet host at venue (welcome)
Gather in the venue reception for a brief welcome and introduction to the experience.
Tips from local experts:
- Arrive 5 minutes before the booked start time at Calle de le Conterie 1345, Venezia to allow time to find the entrance on the narrow Calle.
- Bring a small ID or booking confirmation on your phone; staff will use it to confirm your reservation quickly.
- The venue is a short walk from the Canal Grande — if arriving by vaporetto, allow extra walking time across small bridges.
Costume selection & fitting
Choose from high-quality dresses and suits (sizes S–XL). The host will assist with sizing and recommend masks, hats and feathers to match your chosen look.
Tips from local experts:
- If you have preferred colors or a style (elegant, mysterious, commedia dell'arte), mention it early so the host can prepare options quickly.
- Wear thin layers underneath for faster changing; the venue provides privacy for costume changes.
- If you have long hair or accessories you'd like to keep, bring a small clip or bag to secure personal items during dressing.
Dressing, accessories & styling
Final dressing with masks, hats and feathers; simple styling and adjustments to ensure costume fits and photographs well.
Tips from local experts:
- Avoid large, stiff handbags or backpacks—store them at your hotel or keep them folded to avoid crowding the changing area.
- If you normally wear high heels, bring a pair of comfortable shoes to walk to/from the venue; you can change for photos if desired.
- Mention any mobility or comfort needs to the host so they can adapt costumes and fittings.
Professional photoshoot (special moment)
Studio-style photoshoot inside the venue. The host/photographer will direct poses and capture a selection of portraits while you enjoy your chosen disguise.
Tips from local experts:
- For flattering photos, relax your shoulders and try a few natural smiles; the photographer will guide poses, but a relaxed posture helps create romantic shots.
- If you prefer a specific shot (close-up mask detail, full-length romantic pose), tell the photographer at the start so time is allocated.
- Keep small personal props (a simple fan or pocket mirror) handy if you want them included in a portrait — the venue can help incorporate them.
Wrap-up, photos & memento
Finish with a brief review of selected images and receive the included memento; change back into your clothes and say goodbye to the host.
Tips from local experts:
- Allow a few minutes at the end to review photos so the host can note which image(s) to include in the printed memento.
- If you need extra time to change back or gather belongings, mention it—staff will assist when possible within the booked hour.
- Plan your next stop nearby; the venue is centrally located so you can stroll toward the Canal Grande or nearby cafés after the experience.
