Eligible Singles in Toronto Enjoyed TIFF Bachelor Party at COVE on Friday 6 Sept 2013

TIFF Bachelor Party was Friday Sept 6th 2013 at COVE rooftop patio.

TIFF Bachelor Party 2013 party was  designed and executed by Eligible Magazine and was the pet project of its illustrious Founder and our special friend Gary Wilson.

Lots of beautiful ladies enjoyed free drinks while mingling with Michael Stagliano, Arie Luyendyk Jr., Kiptyn Locke and Ed Swiderski who are all former hosts from ABC’s The Bachelor series.  Between the hours of 8 to 10pm on Sept 6th 2013, over one hundred single ladies and some men gathered at COVE night club to enjoy complimentary cocktails and light hors d’oeuvres.  When anyone offered, all of the ladies accepted the opportunity to pose for pictures with these real life TV stars.  Its kind of remarkable to see all four men together at one event. and they all had fun partying with each other that hot Friday night, and so did the VIP guests in special boxes and booths upstairs at COVE on the rooftop patio.

Emerald Topaz Brady of Big Brother Canada and her sisters were spotted on the COVE patio.

Emerald Topaz Brady was at #TIFF2013 with her two sisters and did several events prior to relaxing at #TheBachelors party COVE 6Sept2013

Lots of single ladies enjoyed the scenery and conversation with celebrities as they sipped free cocktails from 8 to 10pm.  After attending this uniquely glamorous evening, I wrote a opinion piece for Digital Journal, Eligible Magazine hosts The TIFF Bachelor Party

A Real Bachelors’ Party Started after Ten PM and was ‘Extreme Glam’

At 10pm the party started as hundreds of lonely single men showed up with tickets for which they paid $25 in advance, or $30 at the door to get into the venue and meet the ladies already inside, primed with free drinks and looking for fun.

When the music was loud, and the hungry crowd moved to the dance floor. In this picture, a folding table is carried across the crowded space as the scene upstairs changed quickly to accommodate more fans of the TV series, and more drinking and dancing on the crowded COVE rooftop patio with the lights of the city in the background.

Everyone was eager to prove themselves physically in dance, verbally in stories and song.  My favorite part of the evening was the high energy cocktail banter and boasting, the most dynamic people in Toronto partied on the dance floor.  Extreme sports enthusiasts around the bachelors discussed new exercise using old fashioned kites and body mounted wings helping or even propelling yourself forward using the wind and a flimsy nylon kitewing which you hang onto while skating on either roller blades or ice skates.  A certified powered paragliding instructor offered to give one bachelors rides all weekend which he politely declined.  Many of the ladies were enthusiastic about new water board trends, SUP paddle boarding and Moonlight Water Yoga.

Back in Feb 2013, Michael Stagliano proposed to his girlfriend, Emily Tuchscherer, recently and she said yes! Michael shared the news on Feb. 6 via his Instagram. Fans will remember that after “Bachelor Pad 3,” Michael admitted that there was a gal in his life.  The two got engaged on January 25th and Stagliano broke a thousand hearts when he shared a picture of the proposal in Us Weekly, and he also shared a photo of Emily wearing her new engagement ring. Many fans later said that Michael did an amazing job picking out the ring, and Emily is truly beaming.

Congratulations Eligible Magazine for hosting a world class celebrity packed event.

TSX Venue in the Heart of Downtown Toronto

If you are looking for a Toronto event venue downtown to hold your next event, here is maybe a space you haven’t thought about yet.

The Toronto Stock Exchange offers event facilities for rental within the heart of Toronto’s financial district with accessibility to PATH, and Toronto public transit.

You will have the possibility to rent the Gallery and/or the Studio which is more for intimate events such as small luncheons.  These spaces are popular for listed companies or other business to business events.

The TMX Broadcast Centre Gallery has a capacity of 100 theatre style, 72 in full rounds, 64 classroom or 200 reception.  The room rental rate has all-inclusive technology which means you will enjoy in-house screens, projectors, mics, risers, podium, audio recording and more available at no additional charge. A technician from the TSX will work with your company throughout the event and a security guard is mandatory for event rentals.  Many use the space as a perfect location for broadcasting.

Besides, the upper level mezzanine is also available for use at no extra cost, and this can be set up as a satellite kitchen, if the caterers are doing hot passed hors d’oeuvres, or as a lounge, with a bar and furniture.
