We finally had the Tatler Ball! After a three-year break (the last Ball was in November 2019), it was exhilarating to host this 2022 Ball.
We were a smaller group that gathered at the Shangri-La Fort’s Grand Ballroom. We had 280 guests this time instead of the 450 to 480 people in previous years. This was in the interest of safety, and to carry this a step further, we sent antigen test kits to all our guests and tested the wait staff at the Ball.
t felt right to have the Tatler Ball this year as we slowly emerge from the pandemic. The Ball is our anniversary celebration, but it has always been our way of giving back, of using our influence for the greater good. Since 2002, we have selected a very deserving cause to raise funds for, focusing on having 100 per cent of the amount donated go to the beneficiary. With all the challenges of the past years, helping a vital cause carried more significance.
We wanted a night of relevance and purpose, a celebration that would result in many other joyful events in people’s lives. Judging from the results of that evening, we hit our mark for U-Go Philippines of John Wood and Mariana Zobel de Ayala.
All of these would not be possible without the trust and support of our valued partners. In the Lead partner role were the iconic Tiffany & Co and the top residence to have, The Estate. Then we had Belo Beauty, HSBC Premier and Mercedes Benz as Supporting partners. We thank these iconic brands for trusting us to deliver a delightful and socially relevant night.
