iCandy Lifestyle Events
Also called: iCandy
A lifestyle takeover brand based in Florida, running themed weekends primarily at Secrets Hideaway and similar lifestyle-friendly properties. iCandy events are oriented around music, dance-floor production, and themed dress codes, drawing a younger-skewing US East Coast crowd.
i.Candy Parties launched in 2019 and built its identity around the adults-only EDM crowd, treating each weekend more like a touring club night than a traditional swingers meet. The flagship Florida dates are full resort takeovers at Secrets Hideaway in Kissimmee, with recurring fixtures including a June anniversary weekend, an August First Friday School's Back party, and a December Holiday Bash. Past themes such as Tape It Up (black-tape body art) and Day of the Dead (sugar-skull spray art) have brought in traveling body-art crews to dress attendees on-site rather than relying on conventional costuming.
Outside Florida, iCandy has built a touring footprint that reaches Tampa, Miami, Houston, Austin, Dallas, San Antonio, New Orleans, and Tennessee, and the brand runs a co-branded room block inside Naughty N'Awlins each July in New Orleans. The roster leans on resident DJs (notably DJ Mike Drop) and visiting EDM acts, with SDC listed among the brand's standing partners.
Community impressions consistently flag iCandy as one of the younger-skewing US lifestyle brands, attracting attendees who treat the dance floor and theme execution as the main draw rather than as backdrop. The brand also operates iCandy Clothing Co., a small apparel line aimed at the same EDM-festival aesthetic that defines its parties.

Popular for US East Coast couples wanting a domestic lifestyle weekend without flying internationally.
