OUR MISSION

We seek to provide young professionals with consistent, inexpensive, high quality social events. We aim to provide a safe and exciting alternative to the norm, which drives otherwise lively socialites to stay at home. Participation is key, as we feel the guests are the ones that create the experience.

ABOUT US

BARMUVINJAM (BMVJ) is a word derived from melding our nationalities (Barbados , Bermuda, St.Vincent and Jamaica) into an all-encompassing identity which uniquely integrates the member's backgrounds and expresses the diversity of our patrons. At first, we were a small band of friends playing dominoes on a regular basis who decided that we wanted a place to party that was free of violence; a place where we could enjoy ourselves without having to worry about an ugly scene breaking out at any given moment. We decided to have a Barbecue and invite a few friends, who were mostly professionals and played dominoes, of course! Everyone enjoyed the function so much that we had another and another, until the 'events' became annual.

We quickly realized that there were lots of people, just like us, looking for the same thing. Rather than continue to complain about over-priced, stand around, pretentious parties, we decided to do something about it. We began to entertain ourselves the way we knew how, and figured whoever liked it would join. We knew if we continued to set a high standard, party promoters would raise their game, and the club scene would benefit. Don't be fooled by the shirts and ties; many of our members have diverse backgrounds and appreciate what a good party is supposed to be.

We are not profit driven, as witnessed by the reasonable prices of the parties. Thus far, more than half of the profits made have been donated to charity, and this is a commitment which will continue. We believe in providing value to our guests, and leaving them wanting more each time.

We will not be predictable, and each event must be a memorable one. We avoid competing with any other groups or promoters, and prefer to work together to remain creative. We didn't start out with the goal of having something of this magnitude, but we have taken on the social responsibility of seeing this through to the end.

"If you're coming to this party to watch, stay home!"
