The theme for this event is “Garden of the Divine” and we ask for attire that is inspired by ancient gods and goddesses, but interpreted in your own personal mythos. This can include gowns, formal wear, fetish wear, and costuming that evokes elegance, grace, and beauty while incorporating elements of fantasy and mythology as fits your personal style.
Wicked Eden is located 12 minutes south of downtown Columbus (address provided to members only). We recommend Hotel Leveque, Le Meridien, and the Hilton Downtown Columbus. There are ample Airbnb accommodations throughout German Village as well.
This evening’s event will include live performances, dancing, curated cocktails/mocktails, charity raffle, and more in the spacious event space.
You will also have full access to all five themed rooms for play and revelry. Our community space is also available for those who prefer a a quieter atmosphere.
This event is a charity fundraiser and your donations are welcomed in support of our mission. As a 501c3 non-profit, all your donations are tax deductible, but please note that event tickets are not.
One of the things that makes this venue so unique is that we OWN it. Alexandra Snow purchased this building in 2022 and undertook a massive construction project whose price tag is totaling over a million dollars. We are still in the final stages of construction, so check back for photos of the finished space. In the meantime, you can get a feel for the layout and amenities of our new space.
Our new space features 6 fully themed and designed playrooms with custom soundproofing, an overnight suite for guests, two full baths with gorgeous showers, and custom furniture and equipment in each room. Here’s just a small taste of what you’ll find inside:
Our community lounge has tons of comfortable seating, tables for snacking and relaxing, open kitchen, and a full view of our Hall of Fame. Our community lounge serves as a classroom, chill space, gaming area, and much more.
There will be a curated menu of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, light snacks, and bottled drinks available for purchase. We are also partnering with local food trucks to have food options available outside.
There will be ample parking available on site. Our facility is located approximately 12 minutes from downtown Columbus and is easily accessible by all rideshare services.
Due to the nature of this fundraising event, no refunds will be issued for tickets or memberships.
In accordance with our nonprofit liquor license, this event is 21 and up. IDs are required and must be shown at the door.
No, tickets must be purchased in advance and ticket sales are limited. Ticket sales will end 48 hours prior to the event if they are not sold out. We accept cash for drinks, snacks, and merchandise only.
Yes! Our space is fully ADA accessible. It is a former public library, which is single story, with all accommodations made to bathrooms, hallways, and entrances.
Of course it is! As a queer operated space, we welcome and encourage everyone across the gender and sexuality spectrum!
We have a special lineup of entertainers spread throughout the evening, including dance, comedy, rope, and burlesque. The music will be EDM flavored with a focus on sexy House/Deep House in the dance areas and Downtempo in various playspaces.
Photos and videos are permitted, with the consent of everyone appearing in the photos. There will be a dedicated photobooth and red carpet areas with proper lighting. We will have wristbands at the door for those who do not wish to appear in photos and will be militantly upholding the privacy of these guests. We require that everyone’s safety and confidentiality be held to the highest regard.
Yes! We are an enthusiastic consent and sex-positive space, and play is encouraged inside the five large play rooms only. The other areas of the event will be available for dancing, mingling, and entertainment only. As a body-positive space, we do encourage personal expression at whatever level of dress or undress you desire.
Yes! Our space features 3 bathrooms and 2 full showers. (Bring your own towels if you intend to use the showers for any reason.) Please note that our coat check and belongings storage is first come, first serve. VIP ticket holders and gold/silver members receive dedicated storage for their belongings.
To honor those who have supported us on this journey, we will be unveiling our Hall of Fame! This display will feature beautifully framed photos of our supporters in the adult industry, to be enshrined on our walls forever. There will also be a dedicated space on our new website (launching in April) with your website links and you’ll receive social media mentions leading up to the event.
As a 501c3 nonprofit charity, all donations are fully tax deductible!
These are only a few of the special performances we have lined up for this event.
