Walking into\u00a0the space, a palpable sense of passion and\u00a0creativity emanates from\u00a0every surrounding detail. Warehouse aisles transformed into a\u00a0vibrant “Streets of Toronto” theme with each “district” represented through creative use of lighting,\u00a0food stations, entertainment and of course, stunning decor!<\/p>

A warm farewell: the\u00a0evening’s celebration\u00a0served also\u00a0as surprise retirement celebration\u00a0for founder Leslee Bell. With the help of the entire\u00a0D&M staff, this\u00a0event was kept completely\u00a0under wraps. Pictured\u00a0below, Leslee’s son\u00a0Bryan informs\u00a0the audience\u00a0of Leslee’s momentary arrival.<\/p>
