Schmooze Grand Opening 2016

To say Friday’s Schmooze grand opening at Maison Mercer was a success, would be an understatement. Attendees enjoyed delicious food, masterly crafted cocktails and the beautifully renovated rooftop patio. As guests arrived to the patio, the amazing energy of the event grew and grew.

The beverage sponsor, Belvedere, graciously served complimentary drinks until 7 p.m. to go along with the other foods and treats provided by Maison Mercer and Treeline Catering. Along with sliders, skewers and other barbecue, there were rounds of sorbet and freshly popped popcorn up for grabs.

On behalf of everyone at CityEvents, we would like to thank all of those who attended the Maison Mercer After Work Schmooze Grand Opening event. It was an amazing evening enjoyed by all and we can’t wait to see you on the patio again!
