An inside look at this year's Pride Party at Vancouver Art Gallery in support of QMUNITY and their Capital Campaign.

The campaign will create a purpose-built community centre and affordable housing project, establishing a permanent home for 2SLGBTQIA+ programs and services in Vancouver.

We were honoured to help fuel an evening celebrating the community helping make it happen.

A meaningful night in support of Vancouver's 2SLGBTQIA+ community.

Some venues simply set the stage.

With its historic charm, beautiful grounds, and unforgettable views, University Women's Club of Vancouver is one of Vancouver's most iconic wedding settings.

From intimate gatherings to larger celebrations, it's a space that invites guests to slow down, connect, and celebrate life's most meaningful moments.

It's always a pleasure to be part of the story.

Meet Christy, our Catering and Events Manager.

Ask Christy what she loves most about her job, and she'll tell you it's the variety. No two events are the same, and that's exactly what keeps things exciting.

Whether she's helping plan a wedding, corporate gathering, or milestone celebration, her favourite part is seeing everything come together and watching guests enjoy the experience.

Current menu obsession? Our mini lobster rolls. They're always one of the first things to disappear.
