MAISON AFTER WORK SCHMOOZE – We started the weekend off with a kick start.

On Friday, July 11th, the famous After Work Schmooze returned to one of Toronto´s greatest rooftop patios in Entertainment District hosted by CityEvents and Shanny in the City.
The After Work Schmooze was presented by Remy Martin and takes place every Friday on the patio. And the best was the location: The event occurred at Mercer´s rooftop terrace, which provides an amazing view on Toronto´s skyline. If that is not a suitable way to start the weekend on a great summer day!
The event was co-hosted by CityEvents Toronto so many people from their network learned about the event via Social Media. Thus, the location filled up quickly and the terrace matched perfectly – it was crowded but not packed. The night was accompanied by happy hour drinks and a complimentary BBQ.
So if you were not there, just imagine the sunshine in your face, sitting on a cozy sofa, talking to your colleague while having a good wine and a snack from the tasty BBQ! Being surrounded by other people relaxing and listening to good music. Let´s hear from Manon and Annie who are currently at CityEvents how they liked the event Manon: “It was the first time that I went to Maison Mercer and I really enjoyed it, it’s a fancy venue where it’s nice to relax after work!” Annie: “The atmosphere of the venue was great and it is a good opportunity to meet new people and have interesting conversations!
Some other guests told me they just heard about the event from friends and that they will definitely come again as the relaxed atmosphere was a perfect start for a Friday night!
So now you basically know what you missed at Schmooze. But no worries, your next chance is Friday, July 25th– so don´t miss that one!
