Deighton Cup 2014 at Hastings Park Vancouver

It has to be one of the most colourful and fashionable events in Vancouver. Add in the bow ties, fanciful hats, champagne VIP lounge, luxury cars and horse racing and it’s easy to see why it’s also one of the hottest parties of the summer. The Deighton Cup, produced by the good folks at The Social Concierge, was held last weekend at Hastings Park. Local celebs and socialites were easy to find as they placed their bets from luxury sky suites adjacent to the track. Live music, savoury snacks, cigars and mint juleps rounded out the experience. Congrats to everyone involved.

Global Glitterati at Bar None Vancouver

There was glitter everywhere. But then again, that’s the point behind the Global Glitterati party night at Bar None. Last week the Yaletown hot spot was decorated with mirror balls hanging from the ceiling and unicorns standing guard at the door. There was even a throne fit for the queen of the party – birthday girl and celebrity stylish Crystal Carson. As a driving force behind the Global Glitterati company, she has helped style and fashion some of this city’s best known personalities. Local celebs were also on hand to party as the club was turned into a pseudo-themed Studio 54 champagne popping eye-candy extravaganza.

Duelling Arts Swords and Rapier Gala Event

En Guarde! It was a night of cultural cocktailing at the Vancouver Club last week as the sounds of swords clanged and clashed in a night of competitive duelling. Vancouver based party planners The Social Concierge put together “The Duelling Arts” event – a series of Victorian era championship duels in a legitimate rapier tournament that delighted invited guests and revellers.
