🎭 How Groove DJs Transformed the Costumiers’ Masquerade Ball into a Visual and Musical Wonderland

When fantasy meets rhythm, and lasers meet lace, magic happens — and nowhere was that more evident than at the 2024 Costumiers’ Masquerade Ball Weekend at Rotorua’s Millennium Hotel. Over three dazzling nights of themed entertainment, Groove DJs brought the audio-visual alchemy that turned each event into a spectacle of light, sound, and unforgettable energy.

This wasn’t just another gig. This was a full-scale transformation — and Groove DJs were at the heart of it all.

🌀 Three Nights of Fantasy, Powered by Sound & Light

The event kicked off with Iconic Movie Night, a singalong celebration featuring classics like Mamma Mia and The Greatest Showman. Groove DJs set the tone with immersive sound reinforcement and lighting cues that mirrored key cinematic moments, making the audience feel like part of the action.

The next night dove deep into the “Creatures of Atlantis” Underwater Party, where band Pow Wow curated a hypnotic mix of classic dance and sing-a-long tracks, Groove DJs created an atmosphere full of marine-inspired projections, and atmospheric lighting that shimmered like waves. Add in a custom-built photobooth and guests were lining up to capture their costumes in full sea-glam glory.

Then came the crown jewel: the Costumiers’ Fantasy Masquerade Ball — the fifth anniversary of this now-iconic event. With a Labyrinth-inspired theme and hundreds of intricately dressed guests swirling across the dancefloor, Groove DJs took the energy to another level. From opening waltzes to peak-hour bangers, every song was perfectly timed. Custom laser effects and dry-ice “cloud” machines elevated the visual impact, making each moment feel like a scene from a fantasy film.

🌟 Beyond Music: Experience Creation

Groove DJs didn’t just provide a soundtrack — they engineered an experience. Working closely with organisers, they managed all AV for the weekend, including:

  • Professional sound and wireless microphones for presentations and awards
  • Themed lighting design for each evening’s decor and vibe
  • High-energy photobooth with instant printing and digital sharing
  • Special effects like laser shows, bubble haze, and dry-ice clouds

As the sponsor of the Costume Competition, Groove DJs also brought extra sparkle to the judging ceremony, ensuring every finalist had their moment in the spotlight — literally.

💬 What Organisers Said

“They didn’t just DJ — they elevated the entire weekend. Every light, every beat, every transition was spot on. Guests haven’t stopped raving about it.”
— Rozanne de Wild - Event Co-Organiser

The feedback from attendees mirrored the sentiment. People danced until they couldn’t anymore, posed for photobooth after photobooth, and left with photos, memories, and a sense that they’d been part of something extraordinary.
