The Meaning Behind High Tea
More than just an afternoon tea tradition, High Tea symbolizes togetherness and meaningful conversations. The stunning view of Lake Toba enhanced the moment, as if bringing fresh energy to inspire new creative ideas born from the gathering.
Exclusive Atmosphere at Escape Rooftop Bar
Held at Escape Rooftop Bar, Marianna Resort & Convention Tuktuk – Samosir, the event welcomed 15 selected guests, including Lake Toba influencers, content photographers, and pageant winners. This exclusive circle was more than just a social gathering—it became a space to share inspiration and explore collaboration opportunities.
The Bond of Togetherness
The event began with registration and a warm welcome, followed by an ice-breaking session called “Two Facts & One Dream” that set a friendly tone. Conversations soon expanded beyond digital trends, touching on the vital role creators play in showcasing Lake Toba to the world.
In his welcome speech, the General Manager of Marianna Resort expressed his pride in meeting the selected creators. He emphasized that the event was not just about enjoying tea and cuisine, but about sharing stories, exchanging inspiration, and opening new opportunities in the digital space.
“Marianna Resort was built in Tuktuk Samosir not just to be a five-star hotel, but to become part of Lake Toba’s story. You are the ones who can share that story with the world—through your cameras, your writing, and your creative ideas. One piece of content can change perspectives, one post can inspire someone to visit Lake Toba. Let’s make this afternoon the starting point for greater works that bring Lake Toba closer to the world.”
This message reinforced the belief that every creator plays a key role in bringing Lake Toba to the global stage through their craft.
During the welcoming session, Marianna Resort’s Marketing Communication team also introduced the larger vision of the event: to foster a creative circle that values quality over quantity.
