Justin Bieber, Mercedes-Benz, Grey Goose, Guerlain, Angelina Jolie. These are just some of the luxurious brands and names The Concierge Group has worked with in planning events arlund the world.
Founded by Monica Gomez, the group just celebrated its fifth anniversary in Toronto. Ringing-in the invite-only affair were BFF Duo Alec Monopoly (Alec Andon) and Reality TV Star (Keeping Up with The Kardashians) and Entrepreneur Scott Disick. The former, a Celebrity Graffiti Artist whose trademark includes fusing Pop Culture symbols like the Monopoly Man into his work, created a live piece before the crowd of Toronto’s elite influencers. He donned his signature mask, maintaining that air of mystery.
Buddy Disick showed his support, fully present the whole evening for Monopoly. Despite it being declared he was finished photos for the evening shortly after the party began, he made a quick exception for a Snap. It is said multiple interviews were scheduled with him but alas Entertainment Tonight Canada would be the one lucky outlet to score facetime with the handsome star, who arrived in a no fuss black sweater and jeans sans Sofia Richie. He will be making appearances in Niagara Falls and Toronto this weekend including Saturday night at Rebel.

Synopsis:
Marina and Orlando are in love and planning for the future. Marina is a young waitress and aspiring singer. Orlando is 30 years older than her, and owns a printing company. After celebrating Marina’s birthday one evening, Orlando falls seriously ill. Marina rushes him to the emergency room, but he passes away just after arriving at the hospital. Instead of being able to mourn her lover, suddenly Marina is treated with suspicion. The doctors and Orlando‘s family don’t trust her. A woman detective investigates Marina to see if she was involved in his death. Orlando’s ex-wife forbids her from attending the funeral. And to make matters worse, Orlando’s son threatens to throw Marina out of the flat she shared with Orlando. Marina is a trans woman and for most of Orlando’s family, her gender identity is an aberration, a perversion. So Marina struggles for the right to be herself. She battles the very same forces that she has spent a lifetime fighting just to become the woman she is now – a complex, strong, forthright and fantastic woman.
