Last Season
How the Spring Gala Looked
Saturday, September 26 · The Grand Ballroom, Downtown Toronto · Doors 18:00, carriages at half past midnight
The Gilded Autumn Ball is the crown of our season — one night when The Grand Ballroom turns to candlelight, brass and gold. Three hundred and twenty guests, a champagne reception under the chandeliers, a five-course autumn menu, and a twelve-piece orchestra that does not believe in empty dance floors.
Come as a couple, bring a table of friends, or let us seat you with wonderful strangers — the Ball has a long tradition of introductions that outlast the season. Dress code is black tie; the doorman has seen every excuse and accepted none.
Welcome coupe under the chandeliers, string quartet, photography salon.
Five courses of autumn fare; wine pairings poured at the table.
Twelve pieces, from waltz to swing to songs everyone pretends not to know the words to.
A raised glass to the season — and one last encore.
Coat check, favours and farewells.
