It was a night of Fire, with the warmth of comradery between guests; and a night of Ice with the glitter of beautiful outfits worn by all. Fire and Ice - a stunning combination of colour and glitter.
The décor for the evening was absolutely perfect as guests were greeted with the Red Carpet Model. The room was dressed with stunning table settings of orange, gold and red set off with dramatic candelabras which complemented the burning fireplaces in the after party room. Showmakers Inc. did an amazing job with attention to every detail creating a spectacular setting. The Special Events Committee was thrilled with how Showmakers and AVW-TELAV Audio Visual Solutions took the ideas expressed at our meetings and changed the room into the exact replica of our thoughts and dreams.
The International Centre was the perfect host for this special evening. This venue is every planner’s dream, with a staff that looks out for every last minute detail ensuring the event runs smoothly. Guests enjoyed an exquisite meal with every course offering mouth-watering selections.
All night there was an amazing and upbeat buzz throughout the building as old and new friends converged around the silent auction tables and milled within the reception area. The Silent Auction tables were abundant with spectacular prizes and MPI Toronto Chapter was provided the opportunity to donate a generous amount to the Breakfast With Santa Foundation. Thank you to all that brought an unwrapped gift for the Foundation.
