In a statement to WXYZ Detroit, the event organizer, Uncle & Me LLC, apologized to attendees and said they are “working diligently to address all concerns to ensure that all guests have the enjoyable experience they deserve,” including working on “resolution options, which will be communicated shortly.”

“We understand that not everyone had the experience they hoped for at our most recent event Sunday night at The Harmonie Club, and for that, we sincerely apologize,” they said in the statement. “Our intention was to provide a magical evening, but we recognize that organizational challenges affected the enjoyment of some guests. We take full responsibility and accountability for these shortcomings.” 

The Harmonie Club provided a separate statement to WXYZ, addressing that they are “in no way affiliated with the promoters and/or organizations that rent our venue for events such as the Bridgerton Ball.”
