Robin did a fine job throwing a party so soon after the last gala event! I don't know where she finds the energy!
I got there early and scored a pretty pink booth for my fabulous friends to hang with me. The cocktails were flowing freely and the music…More »
Well I'm totally late to write my review but I can only echo all the other rave reviews ahead of me. My +1 got sick but sweetly walked me over. Once there I was solo no more: wow - so many of my friends have joined yelp since I started! I met 4 of…More »

Crystal H. and Yelp really know how to throw an event. The Wallflower provided the perfect back drop to this intimate and sassy event. The swag/shwag was perfect! Buttons, lipbalm, emery boards were all over the tables. Five jello-shots were…More »
Crystal is certainly good at what she does! It was great to see so many people turn out for this event and many of them in theme. I really enjoyed the nibbles and cocktails. I will definitely buy a bottle of UV Vodka and I've been known to buy Don…More »

I didn't stay for the full 2 hours but what I did catch was enjoyable. We loved the raspberry/sparkling wine cocktail and were very impressed with the creative Guinness/sparkling wine combo. Who woulda thunk?? We admired each painting around the…More »

Eeeeeeeeeep! I have the coolest lunch box possible! So yeah, like Nadine said "How could you go wrong...?" YUMMY hot chocolate, more chocolate, Earl Grey infused vodka (brilliant I say, bloody brilliant), battered prawns, holiday card giving,…More »
Kudos to Mis Trucos' owner/chef Kris for DJing at this event. Nicely played tunes!
We were many packed into a small space which made for a lively gathering. Sangria was flowing but I stuck to beer. My favourite was the blueberry ale. Was this a…More »

Another lovely event - thanks Crystal! The Makers Mark cocktails were delicious and seemed quite complicated to make. They went down a bit too easily so I switched to the Tinhorn Chardonnay which wasn't bad. The canapes were tasty although I would…More »
What a fun party! So many people had really good costumes with great props! Jessica O made her own suicide oven (Sylvia Plath) and Kat S had just finished knitting Hermione's scarf before she got there. I even saw someone lugging around a…More »
So my husband joined facebook last weekend. Seriously. Getting him to come to a yelp event was, well, challenging. I almost felt like I tricked him into coming to this one. No offense to previous events.
On the cab ride home I'm pretty sure I…More »
What a fun event!! We were thrilled when we headed upstairs to find our friends at a booth with room for us. So comfy and chill! They were all busy decorating gingerbread men with the glee of little kids.
