Dear Kadie,

Thank you for considering The Blind Cafe - Team Building, Dinner In The Dark event for your companies executive dinner party. The Blind Cafe has taken over 10,000 people through the dark since 2010 and we are excited to share this life-changing event with you.

Event Description:

Our private corporate Blind Cafe events typically are held at an off-site location such as a conference room or an alternative rental space, specifically chosen for it’s ability to be blackened out and accommodate the number of guests desired. The event usually lasts around 3 - 4 hours.

First, there is a reception in the lighted lobby area where the guests enjoy wine and endeavors before they enter the darkness. Then the guests are lead into the pitch dark by our professionally trained legally blind staff, where the food has already been served family style 6 - 8 person tables. The guests enjoy navigating and working together to literally break bread together. Our blind staff then facilitates a group experience in the dark challenging the guests to listen and participate in a group discussion, followed by a music performance.

After about 1 1/2 - 2 hours of being in the complete pitch dark, we light candles for the guests to ‘see’ again and experience coming back to the light. Next we facilitate a debrief, in the candle lit dining room or lobby area, where the guests share their experiences with one another and as a group.

Our Blind Cafe event can be tailored specifically for companies needs and desires. The sky is the limit with what we can explore in the dark so welcome your creative ideas and support you in creating one of the most memorable company events ever.

  • Planning and coordinating with your companies event planner to assure a great event, prepping.
