A Night to Remember: Inside a Private HRPA Dinner & Custom Fitting Experience at King & Bay

Posted Jun 10th, 2025 in Corporate Events, Events, Private Events

A Private Dinner Elevated Above the City

On June 5th, King & Bay welcomed 20 guests from the Human Resources Professionals Association (HRPA) for a women-led networking event sponsored by KPMG. Set in our luxurious corporate event venue, this intimate evening delivered something truly unique in Toronto: a six-course tasting menu, personalized gifting through custom clothing, and an unforgettable skyline view.

The evening began with a warm welcome. Guests checked in with our hostess, enjoyed coat and bag service, and settled into our lounge for casual networking. HR leaders shared insights, challenges, and strategies in an open knowledge exchange—setting the tone for the night ahead.

1:1 Shirt Fittings: The Ultimate Custom Gifting Experience


Before dinner, each guest received a private consultation with our master clothiers to design their own custom dress shirt. From collar styles and cuff options to luxury fabrics, monograms, and fit preferences, this personalized gifting moment turned into a core memory. Unlike typical swag bags, our custom tailored gift creates a guaranteed second touchpoint when guests return to pick up their finished shirt—keeping your brand top of mind.

A Culinary Performance Paired with Exceptional Wines

Guests were then seated for a six-course culinary journey prepared by the head chef of Chotto Matte, a top-tier restaurant blending Japanese and Peruvian cuisine. Highlights included steak, lamb chops, sushi, and torched shishito peppers—expertly plated in front of guests for a live chef’s table experience.

Each course was paired with a selection of Pearl Morissette wines, thoughtfully curated to complement the flavours. Alongside the exceptional food and beverage was a premium open bar, staffed by expert bartenders crafting cocktails throughout the evening.
