Recently, our founder Amenah had the pleasure of sitting down with Marco and Jessy, the brilliant minds behind Cazador Events, as the very first guest on episode two of their brand-new podcast, The After Party.
From TMU to Toronto’s Top Events The synergy between Picnics Toronto and Cazador Events goes way back to our university days. We met at the Ted Rogers School of Management at Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly known as Ryerson University), where we grew our wings organizing student conferences and 'Week of Welcome' activities. That foundational period taught us how to reverse-engineer event gaps, customize details, and curate seamless guest experiences. Today, we use that same shared brainpower to bring massive corporate and luxury events to life across the city.
Macro: Logistics Meets Micro-Luxury While Picnics Toronto specializes in micro-luxury and boutique, Pinterest-worthy event styling, Cazador Events is a powerhouse for large-scale, corporate and wedding events. When clients come to us looking for massive corporate events but refuse to compromise on high-end aesthetic details, this partnership is the ultimate solution.
Together, we’ve executed some of Toronto's most unforgettable recent events:
"Solid Red Disco" Drag Brunch during Pride: On the hottest day of the summer, we brought "Miami Heat" to Toronto. Inspired by Trixie Mattel’s summer DJ tour, we styled a vibrant, red-hot outdoor brunch featuring Denim from Canada’s Drag Race, Miss Flash 2026 Adrianna Exposée, and interactive brand activations like Kiehl's skin pros.
The "Traveling Circus" Corporate Holiday Party: For a massive corporate client looking to bring a "Big Top" theme to life, we collaborated to deliver an elevated, modern circus experience. We incorporated unique touches like 3D printing and animal illusions—providing a highly thematic, safe, and wildly fun atmosphere without relying on live animals.
The Upcoming "Western Chic" Derby & FIFA World Cup Corporate Watch Party: We are currently curating a high-end "Western Chic" corporate derby event along with world cup soccer themed events, proving that we can take any theme and elevate it for the professional space whether be an office space, restaurant or public outdoor space!
What is the Toronto Event Scene Missing? During the podcast, we dove into the future of the local event industry. The biggest missing piece in Toronto right now is curated, resort-style luxury hospitality. While cities like Miami, LA, and Dubai have mastered premium, experiential hospitality spaces, Toronto's large-scale events sometimes struggle to compress that elevated feeling down to the individual guest.
That is exactly the gap Picnics Toronto is filling. Whether it is through our exclusive "Picnic Club" which gives everyday clients the same premium gifting-suite experience usually reserved for influencers or our collaborative corporate lounges, we are proving that you can achieve anything when you put in the work and build the right partnerships.
