At The Group, exclusivity and discretion are the hallmarks of our community. We are a private collective of like-minded professionals who value privacy, quality, and meaningful connections. For those who aspire to join The Group, there’s a unique path to membership that begins with our one-night events: Just For Dinner, Jackets Required, and Stiletto Social. These events are more than just gatherings; they are the gateway to membership and offer a glimpse into the world of The Group.
The Gateway Events
The Group’s one-night events are carefully curated experiences designed to introduce potential members to our community. While these events are selective, they are open by invitation to non-members, guests of members, and Group members offering a rare opportunity to meet current members and experience the culture and ethos of The Group firsthand. Each event has its unique theme and style, but all serve a common purpose: to provide an intimate setting where potential members can be gently evaluated for compatibility with The Group’s values and community standards.
Just For Dinner
As the name suggests, Just For Dinner is a refined evening focused on conversation, connection, and culinary excellence. Hosted in the private dining room at one of the better restaurants in each city, this event brings together a select group of individuals to share a gourmet meal. The ambiance is elegant yet relaxed, encouraging open dialogue and allowing guests to engage with each other on a deeper level. For potential members, Just For Dinner is an opportunity to demonstrate social finesse and connect with other potential members in a sophisticated, intimate setting.
Jackets Required
Jackets Required is an event that embodies the classic charm and tradition of an elegant cocktail party. Guests are invited to don a jacket or cocktail dress and join us for an evening of cocktails, conversation, and culture. This event is less structured than Just For Dinner, focusing on the art of conversation. Jackets Required has also been known to devolve into an on-premises party in the wee hours of the morning.
Stiletto Social
Stiletto Social is the perfect blend of fashion, fun, and sophistication for women who prefer the company of other women on occasion. This event is centered around empowering women and providing a safe space to experience sapphic intimacy, regardless of the guests’ relationship status or orientation. Stiletto Social is a vibrant, dynamic evening that highlights the importance of individuality and personal expression within The Group.It is probably the most balanced of the three events, as typically half the women attending are members of The Group.
From One-Night Party to Membership
Participation in one of these gateway events is often the first step towards a deeper involvement with The Group. Those who are an excellent fit socially at these one-night events may be invited to join us for more intimate experiences, such as weekend retreats, international expeditions, or private gatherings at our members-only resort. These extended events allow for further evaluation and provide potential members with a more immersive experience of The Group’s lifestyle and community.
Successful participation in our events and alignment with our values and culture may eventually lead to an invitation to join The Group as a Full Member. Membership at The Group is not just about access to exclusive events and luxurious amenities; it’s about becoming part of a community that values privacy, discretion, and meaningful connections.
