From the venue, to the vibe, to the production, and wondered who's behind all of it? In this episode, we sit down with Tak, the founder of Partytime.to., and over the past four years, they've built one of Toronto's most unique event brands, hosting unforgettable nights at spots like Lavalle Rooftop, Dragon City Mall, and Holy Trinity Church. What makes them different? With an invite-only concept. They grew solely through word of mouth, and never chased the typical promoter playbook. Oh!
