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!

Toronto’s Finest Auction

Auctioning off eligible bachelors and bachelorettes for a charitable cause has always been a popular past time. Maison Mercer was the scene for yet another great fundraising event on Thursday night in support of the Canadian Cancer Society. Created by IntriKate, this is the sixth annual auction that has seen nothing but great faces and success since its creation.

All of the women in the office got a chance to check out this year’s auction, and I can honestly say that we it was a perfect night out.

This year’s hosts, Wes Hayden and Jessie Sulidis, brought a higher level of entertainment to the event, offering quirky and hilarious commentary. And they were further complemented by the beautiful list of bachelors and bachelorettes, who ranged from professional athletes to models to corporate leaders to world travelers. When each bachelor or bachelorette came on stage, it was exciting to hear about each one’s story and what kind of date they had planned for the lucky winner. This was the first auction that I had been to which featured high-profile bachelors and bachelorettes, so to gain even a little insight into the life each one was great!

And what’s an event without a silent auction and a gift bag? Guests saw no disappointment in this area. Sponsors for the silent auction and ‘swag bag’ included MAC Cosmetics, Politica, Notable, Luxe Travel Company, CMC Entertainment, Dell, Danier, Elle Canada and Steamwhistle.

Overall, the auction raised quite a bit of money (with some eligible singles going for literally thousands of dollars!) for the Canadian Cancer Society. And it truly was an event with fabulous entertainment, incredible date packages, and great food at the perfect venue.

And as I mentioned before, the swag bag brought no disappointment. Complete with MAC make-up (which I love!), discounts on spa packages, and chocolates, the bag was perfect.

This auction was unlike any other bachelor/bachelorette auction I’ve ever seen. Congratulations IntriKate on a fabulous event!
