The Year-End Gathering.
A night to close the year together — and to look at what's coming, without anyone being sold anything.
What happens
A warm room in the darkest week of the year, dressed in greens and candlelight. Something good in your hand at the door, food worth staying for, music at a volume you can talk over. Partway through we sit, and there's a short toast — a thank you to the people who made the first year possible, and a first look at the 2027 calendar: the days, the weekends, the journeys, where each one goes and roughly when. Then the room goes back to being a party, and stays one.
Who it's for
Everyone. This is the evening our founder brings her own friends and family to, alongside guests, clients, and the makers, hosts and venues we've worked with this year. Bring someone. Bring your mother. There is no right way to belong in this room — if you're curious about Florelle, or you simply want a good night out in December, you're in the right place.
What's included
- A welcome drink and passed hors d'oeuvres through the evening
- Wine, and a considered non-alcoholic list — not an afterthought
- A seated moment and a shared toast
- Music, and enough room to actually hear each other
- The first look at the 2027 calendar, in the room before anywhere else
- Photographs from the evening, shared the next morning
The details
Dress festively — it's the one night of the year for it, but nothing is required beyond turning up. Come and go as your December allows; there's no seating chart holding you hostage. Dietary needs and accessibility notes are gathered when you reserve and handled without fuss. Parking and arrival notes are sent with your confirmation.
Reserving
Seats are released to the guest list first. A ticket holds your seat; it is transferable to another guest at any time, and refundable up to seven days before the evening — inside seven days it converts to credit toward a future gathering. Full detail in our Terms.
2027, shown to the room first.
Most of next year is already taking shape — three journeys, four weekends, three days, across Arizona, Italy, France, Japan, California and Minnesota. On the twentieth we walk through all of it: where, roughly when, and what each one costs. Guests in the room get the dates before the guest list does.
- i.The 2027 journeysScottsdale in the desert season, Tuscany in May, Japan in autumn — from $2,400.
- ii.Days and weekendsSeven of them, from $175 — including two that sit right beside a journey.
- iii.What's still being walkedThe trips we're vetting now and haven't announced. You'll hear them here first.
