Free admission on the Friday night. Cocktails on their own tab, a photographer, a toy box by the door.

Central Florida · since 2012
Gatherings, markets, photography, and sailing, built around people who dress for the occasion. Tell us what you are planning, and we will answer with the details.
The calendar
A free evening before the dapper weekend, two park days with the same crowd, and a sailing in the works.
Drinks, photographs and a toy box for Toys for Tots on the lakeside patio at The Edison. Free admission, no reservation, and everyone covers their own drinks.
Magic Kingdom on Saturday, Hollywood Studios on Sunday, in their 15th anniversary year. We coordinate the groups, the photographs and the meeting points.
A themed sailing out of Port Canaveral. Group space, one formal night, cabin matching for anyone travelling solo.
Vintage sellers, a milliner, a tailor and a photographer, set up inside a gathering. Table fees, no door fee.
What we do
No ticket window, no wristbands, no door staff. Admission is free at the door and guests pay for their own drinks.

The toy box
The Friday night started as a meetup at a bar and turned into a tradition. There is no admission charge. Guests bring an unwrapped toy for Toys for Tots instead, and everything they drink goes on their own tab.
No cash changes hands, nobody buys a ticket, and the room fills anyway. That model has held since 2012, and it is the reason venues keep saying yes.
