Thursday 5th October 2017 Sandton’s newest venue, Onyx, opened its doors to the who’s who of Johannesburg with an all-black theme night highlighted throughout the venue, dress code & menu.
An exquisite venue set within Sandton’s luxury mall, Michelangelo Towers, Onyx is part of the well known Taboo Group, owned by the successful nightclub mogul, Chris Coutroulis.
The launch hosted an array of celebrities, socialites, influencers and sponsors who enjoyed Cîroc cocktails on arrival, as well as a perfectly themed menu consisting of Black spaghetti with salmon pieces, alongside delicious black sushi and tasty black burgers to name a few delights on offer.
Jo Bodiba representing The Taboo Group on the night, explained the choice of name for the venue, “A gem is usually found rough and unfinished, it never appears in its most natural state completely perfect, so we wanted to polish this phenomenal location to perfection and release our gem to the World”
Guests were brought to their feet with an exciting and vibrant performance from singer, Shekinah, who thrilled guests with material from her debut album as well as previous chart toppers, like ‘Back to the Beach’.
Guests participated in naming Onyx’s signature cocktail, formulated by Cîroc & the winner received a hamper to the value of R5000, filled with 3 Cîroc variants, Cîroc merchandise as well as caps and pullovers from Cîroc Ambassador, Cassper Nyovest.
Ciroc’s newest ambassador Thando Thabethe, MC’d the night brilliantly, entertaining guests with her quick wit and charm, as well as a surprise DJ set from the lady herself.
The main sponsor for the night Cîroc, will be holding Cîroc nights every Thursday going forward. Other sponsors on the night included, Sorbet Group, Freddy Jeans, Castello Shoes, YSL Make up and Forbes Magazine, who contributed to a divine goody bag given to guests after festivities were concluded on the night.
