A 'Bridgerton' fail unworthy of the ton
Eeek, this was certainly not the best ball of the season...
Fans of the hit Netflix series 'Bridgerton' were left disheartened last month when they arrived at a paid 'Bridgerton'-themed gala only to find it 'less-than'.
Organisers promised ticket holders a sophisticated and graceful experience with historical charm, but they delivered a sparsely decorated venue that hosted one violinist and a pole dancer (we're not sure where that fits into 'Bridgerton').
The decor could have been better, leaving attendees upset over what they paid for. A couple who attended after eloping were severely disappointed and shared a video of how terrible everything was. Kimberley Pineda, the new bride, said there wasn't enough seating for everyone, the food was raw, cups were being reused, and the food ran out.
Check out Kimberley's video from TikTok.
@kiimberyly Dearesr gentle readers, Enjoy my POV on unclenme bridgerton ball… YIKES #bridgertonball #unclenme #scammers #detroitbridgerton ♬ BIRDS OF A FEATHER sped up - Lilly 🎃
Kimberley also mentioned that the pole dancer was hired three hours before the event and offered an aerial performance, but the organisers requested pole dancing.
People are demanding a refund from the event organisers, who were nowhere to be found on the event day. Uncle & Me LLC, the event organisers, have yet to say anything about the event, but an event planner who worked with them did release an apology on her Instagram.

Another attendee described everything as a "Hot Mess" and said she did not anticipate what the event had in store until getting there.
One thing needs to be said about all the footage we have seen thus far, the event organisers may have messed everything up, but the attendees showed up in the most incredible outfits fitting with the 'Bridgerton' theme.

@gourmay I went to the Bridgerton theme ball and it was a complete scam. The service we received was not what they advertised.. I demand a refund, but I know I’ll never get it. #gourmay #queentea #ladyoflaughs ♬ original sound - GourMay Brice
