The Fountain, The Living Garden.

Check out these great event ideas:

“Human Nature” Blooms Large
A beautiful statue of a woman slowly animates into a living fountain. A nine-foot tall vine comes alive with balletic grace. A large, magnificently cut rock formation embodies power and strength in its movements. The delicacy of an orchid sways to music. These are but a few of the visually enchanting garden elements that come to life in The Living Garden, an innovative entertainment experience that combines talented performers, stunning costumes, movement, music and live interaction.

Having engaged event audiences in the U.S. for several years, this unique entertainment troupe is actively growing its availability northward to Canada. Build an event around full-set performances that celebrate nature's beauty, or use the individual characters for meet and greets or to embellish a theme and décor. Other characters include a Geisha, Lady of the Lake and Mercury.

JS Bonbons offers chocolate tastings and goodies.

Chocolate Please!
Since introducing the nation five years ago to chocolates filled with lavender, thyme, chai and coriander, Toronto chocolatier js bonbons has become a fast favourite for decadent event treats, corporate gifts and hands-on chocolate-making classes (teambuilding over cacao!).

New to the offering: The chocolate tasting experience that guides groups in the history and flavour comparison of 10 single-origin chocolates from various countries. Similar to a wine tasting, the one-hour session is available in js bonbons' chocolate school studio at its Dupont Street location (22 people) or at off-site venues (up to 500 people). For a sinfully delicious cold-weather event treat try the confectioner's unique chocolate bar, now available as a moveable feast with six made-to-order hot chocolate drinks based on the flavours of the company's best-selling truffles.

Circus Orange's Tricycle uses powerful Cryo Jet "smoke" effects.

Wow With New Non-pyrotechnic
Where there's smoke, doesn't necessarily mean there's fire. The tech guys at Circus Orange recently acquired Cryo Jets, a non-pyro special effect that shoots out powerful columns of CO2 20-ft in any direction with an attention-getting bang. The “smoke” disperses immediately making the effect ideal for big introductions and reveals.

The jets can be used in conjunction with confetti or are adaptable to create wide instant “fog” walls and screens. Create a real on-stage spectacle with a sequenced launch of multiple jets enhanced with lighting and music (as seen in Circus Orange's new touring show Tricycle). Available for indoor and outdoor use. No pyrotechnic permitting or licensing required.
