Tipples, canapés, and mingling—we give you a peek inside the Tatler Ball 2023 anteroom

We held a splendid prelude in the foyer before dinner began. Guests happily sipped on expertly crafted drinks courtesy of Moët Hennessy and Bacchus Epicerie and savoured delectable canapés by Shangri-La The Fort, Manila’s expert culinary team.

Amidst this ornately decorated venue accented by moody lighting and delicate flora exuding Moroccan aesthetics as inspiration, the air was much like it was on the red carpet: filled with excitement and wonder, with the addition of unhurried conversation. The anteroom echoed with laughter and camera flashes as old friends reunited and new connections were forged. Adding a melodic touch to the atmosphere, an instrumental ensemble serenaded the crowd through these pre-dinner cocktails.

Attendees also got their first look at the charity auction lots for this year’s Tatler Ball in support of beneficiary Project Inclusion Network.

With glasses clinked, smiles exchanged, and the gentle hum of music in the background, the magic of the ball began to unfurl. This enchanting reception was merely a glimpse of what awaited them within the grand ballroom, where the rest of the memorable evening ensued.
