๐๐ฐ๐จ ๐ ๐ข๐ซ๐ฅ๐ฌ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐ ๐ฏ๐ข๐ฌ๐ข๐จ๐ง โจ Hey all itโs Rand and Pareena ๐
Earlier this year we launched .to to bring people together and redefine the way we connect in big cities.
We believe in inclusive spaces that not only serve as playgrounds for music, art, and dance - but spaces that foster social connection, conversation, and community, all while showcasing local artists and talent in the city.
From Utopia to Bloom and everything coming next, this is just the beginning.
We started The Velvet Hour because we were tired of surface-level interactions and the same old party scenes. We wanted a space where people actually connectโwhere the music, the vibe, and the energy pull you in and make you feel something real.
No awkwardness. No cliques. Just good people, good music, and nights that turn into stories.
If youโre about it- pull up on April 19th and join us as we BLOOM into spring energy๐ pre-sale tickets in bio. Weโre beyond grateful for all the love & support youโve shown us and we cant wait to keep building this community with you.
