How it started
We're just two girls who wanted to dress up and go to a ball. This company was born out of a shared love of fantasy novels and a desire to bring readers together.

Our Mission
At House of Flame and Revelry, our roots run deep in the spirit of community, creativity, and connection. We founded this company out of a shared dream to create immersive experiences where people could step into the magical worlds they love and build lasting memories with others who share their passions. From the beginning, our mission has been to celebrate and uplift everyone in this vibrant and diverse community. For us, this is not just a business it's a labor of love.
As avid readers ourselves, we understand how isolating it can feel sometimes. Getting lost in the pages of a book is magical, but it's often a solitary journey. We've felt that longing for connection, and we know others have, too. That's why we've worked to create a space where readers and dreamers can come together, forge lasting friendships, and feel free to be their truest selves. At our events, we aim to turn those solitary stories into shared experiences that bring people closer.
We are committed to building an inclusive, respectful, and supportive environment for everyone involved in our events, from cosplayers and performers to guests and collaborators.
We believe in fair compensation, transparent communication, and fostering a culture where creativity and individuality are celebrated. We want everyone who works with us and supports us to feel valued, respected, and appreciated
We also want to see others succeed. We support and celebrate other companies and creators who align with these values, knowing that the growth of this community is a shared effort.
There is room for all of us to thrive and bring magic to life.
To those who have joined us on this journey: thank you for trusting us and believing in the vision of House of Flame and Revelry. Together, let's continue to create events that inspire wonder, honor individuality, and build a stronger, kinder fantasy community.
