Let’s talk about SCHMOOZE!

The sun was out, the drinks were cold and there was plenty of vodka to go around thanks to the event sponsor, Belvedere Vodka. Thank you to everyone who came out to the kickoff party for this summer’s SCHMOOZE at Maison Mercer.
I arrived just before 5 pm, and there was already a lineup of people waiting to get inside! Once we were in, it was so nice. The Maison staff had set up all of the booths and the staff was all very pleasant and accommodating. As soon as it started it was pretty busy but after an hour there were so many people! It was great to see some familiar faces and so many new ones too.
The food, courtesy of Treeline Catering was unreal. I saw mini burgers and chicken skewers, which were delicious. People were lingering around the BBQ and it seemed just as the guy was done preparing the food, it was gone so I’m glad everyone enjoyed it!
The sun came out just in time for SCHMOOZE and people seemed to enjoy being able to relax after a long week of working. It must have been a long week judging by the amount of jagerbombs I saw being passed around! Maison’s patio is the best spot for a warm evening and the DJ was playing some classic summer tunes to really kick off patio season in Toronto.
My staff was able to snap a few pictures before it got dark. Check out the link below and see if you can spot yourself in any of them! And if you weren’t able to make it this time, don’t worry. SCHMOOZE is happening each and every Friday until the end of summer on Maison’s rooftop patio. However, if you want to see me and Shanny in the City (which I know you do) we’ll be there again June 26! Same deal as last time. We’ll be having drink specials (who can pass up $4 drinks??) and a complimentary BBQ before 630 pm. We’re so happy everyone came out and we can’t wait to see you again in June!

Have you been at Yonge and Gould lately? This stretch of Yonge street has lost the lights above the record stores but has gained a brand new student centre for Ryerson as well as a new event venue. Aperture Room is a stylish event space located on the third floor of The Thornton-Smith Building in the heart of downtown Toronto. The space features original exposed brick walls and three magnificent skylights. Aperture Room can be the perfect space to host an unforgettable event. The space caters to all types of social and corporate events and can accommodate 120 guests for a seated event and 180 guests for a standing reception.
The building was designed in 1922 by architect John M. Lyle, who is also credited with designing Toronto’s Union Station and The Royal Alexandra Theatre. There is a lot of history in The Thornton-Smith Building; Aperture Room was designed to keep that history, as well as the history of Yonge Street in mind. Despite all of the renovations, this building has stayed true to its award-winning original architecture. Aperture Room has become one of Toronto’s most popular venues and has already hosted a number of weddings.
Aperture Room is definitely a venue to consider when planning your next event. The atmosphere of the space alone will provide your guests with an exceptional experience and we haven’t even mentioned the food yet.
Oliver & Bonacini will be taking on the catering duties for the event space. The dishes they have discussed for Aperture Room vary from oyster shucking table to a poutine station. The bar menu is just as diverse with various champagnes and a mojito bar.
This stylish space has a loft-like interior and boasts exceptional service and attention to detail. The staff at O&B will help customize your menu to perfectly suit your taste and budget, ensuring that no detail is overlooked.
