Pick Your Vibe, Pop the Bubbles — ‘Ladies Night In’ Is Back and Better Than Ever

Okay, ladies, clear your Saturday, July 11th — because this year’s Ladies Night In is not just an event, it is a full-blown choose your own adventure, and I am obsessed with the concept. 🥂

Here is the twist: this year, the party does not start in one place. It starts in three. You pick your vibe, you show up to an intimate pre-event in a private luxury residence, and then — plot twist — a limousine whisks you away to the real main event: LNI ~ A Garden Party, set on a mansion property in Maple Ridge from 3:00 to 7:00 PM. One destination, three completely different journeys to get there. I love a good build-up.

Pick Your Path – The Elevated Experiences

Authentic Empowerment in the Country | Langley is giving grounded, soulful, sun-through-the-trees energy. Hosted by Tamara Baltic at a 66.3 acre Legacy Equestrian Estate. (FYI: This event will be in a chic rustic glam setting – a big, beautiful barn!). This is where you will find keynote speaker Natasha Raey-Soo, a serial entrepreneur, philanthropist, and social impact leader who built her whole platform on one idea: the life you were taught to chase might not be the life you are meant to live. If you need a permission slip to pivot, she is handing them out.

Creating Inspiring Change in the City | Vancouver is your polished, plugged-in, get-things-done energy, hosted by Michelle Raymond at the stunning Geary House, 993 Broughton Street. Speaker Rebecca Bligh headlines this one, and if her name rings a bell, it should — she shows up in rooms where real change gets made.

Creating Miracles by the Ocean | Port Moody is dreamy, coastal, a little bit magic, hosted by Tobi Dobranski at a residence on 580 Ioco Road. Speaker Susan Turner, the heart behind Wild Heart Spirit Hearts, brings the kind of presence that makes a room lean in.

Each of the three Elevated Experiences runs 12:00 to 2:00 PM and includes the keynote, bubbles poured by the city’s finest sommelier’s, non-alcoholic refreshments courtesy of Aelo, light bites, meaningful connection and conversation, a tour of the residence, admission to the Garden Party, and — this is the part I keep replaying — limousine transportation there and back. You are not driving yourself to this one. You are being delivered.

Then, The Garden Party

By 3:00 PM, all three roads lead to the same golden hour: arrival and welcome at LNI ~ A Garden Party, 12055 265A St, Maple Ridge, running through 7:00 PM. Think flowing florals, a mansion backdrop, and a guest list of women who are done networking the boring way. Everyone who arrives via an Elevated Experience will receive a swag bag curated by Lux Skin Lab, sips something bubbly (hello, Revelry Imports and Hester Creek), and — for the ultimate glam-up — can pre-order a curated caviar experience because apparently the standard for garden parties has officially been raised.

And yes, there is a prize. Elevated Experience guests are automatically entered to win a helicopter adventure for two, complete with a scenic flight and a top-notch tasting on top of a mountain, generously donated by Michelle Raymond, the creator behind The Elevated Experience. I do not make the rules, I just report them, and the rules say this event might end with you in a helicopter.

A Little Love for the People Behind It

None of this comes together on its own, and this is the part where I hand the mic to the women who made it happen with a special acknowledgement to Andrea Jauck, the amazing founder of Ladies Night In and the organizing committee — Jessica Prasad, Danielle Jones, Janice Amoruso, and Michelle Raymond — for pulling off three simultaneous experiences and one flawless finale without missing a beat. A warm shout-out to key sponsors Egami Creative, Meme Brooks Design, and Q Living Furniture, Afsaneh Reihanifard & Reihani Design, for helping set the scenes so beautifully, and to the dozens of additional sponsors and partners behind the scenes whose generosity made this whole afternoon possible — there are simply too many incredible names to list, and every single one of you is felt in the details. Every gorgeous moment of the day will be captured onsite by Anita Alberto Photography and Brooke Redelle — so smile, ladies, you are on camera. 😊

Why It Matters

Underneath all the bubbles and the caviar and the limousines is a genuinely good cause: every Ladies Night In supports Dress for Success Vancouver, an organization helping women step into economic independence with confidence, one interview outfit and one support network at a time. So this is not just a beautiful afternoon — it is a beautiful afternoon with a purpose, and that combination is exactly why this event sells out the way it does.

Whether you are drawn to the Country, the City, or the Ocean, all three roads end in the same place: a garden, a glass of something sparkling, and a room full of women showing up for each other. That is the whole point (and to sip, shop, and celebrate!).
