Will there be activities? Is there a speed dating type of structure?

No. The majority of these gatherings are meant to be relaxed and encourage the type of mingling and conversation that typically accompanies a Happy Hour.

How do you decide who gets invited to which event?

We sort through our singles database and work to assemble an invite list of individuals who share similar romantic aspirations. For example, one invite list may consist solely of individuals who have stated that they intend to be married sooner rather than later, desire children, spend much of their free time outdoors, and don’t have strong preferences regarding religion or political leanings. Another event, as an additional example, may have an invite list consisting of those who have children and do not desire more, are open to marriage, and share similar religious and/or political views. We take in to consideration other factors as well, such as desired age range of a partner or how close a person lives to the venue in which the gathering is being held. The overarching goal is to get you in the same room as others who stated they have similar romantic goals when they went through the screening process to be added to our singles database.

Can I receive invitations to these events if I’m not in your singles database?

No. We curate the guest lists based off of the information in the database profiles. Everyone who attends these events went through the same screening process; to join the singles database we simply ask that you participate in a thirty minute phone call during which we get to know a bit about you and what you’re seeking in a romantic partner in order to create a confidential profile. There is no cost associated with being added to the database or maintaining a profile in it. You may learn more and schedule your screening call here.

What if I need to arrive late?

We understand that attending our gatherings, especially those taking place on weeknights, can be difficult due to work or family obligations and that you may need to arrive later than the appointed start time.

What is the dress code?

There’s no dress code; wear whatever you feel best in, or, if you’re coming straight from work, that attire is perfectly fine, too.

Is there a cost to attend this event?

No. You are, however, of course responsible for whatever expenses related to any food or beverage purchases you incur while attending. Organizing these gatherings demands a significant amount of time and labor investment from our team and we don’t ask for anything in return. Please keep this in mind before you cancel last minute (which, for example, can throw off our man to woman ratio for heterosexual events) or provide constructive criticism.

Can I bring a friend?

Since we are meeting in a public space, we can’t tell you to refrain from bringing someone along. However, we ask that you remember that these events are solely intended for those who are in our database and have all gone through the same screening process. Please respect the structure and intention behind the gathering.

What if I need to cancel?

Again, organizing these gatherings demands a significant amount of time and labor investment from our team and we don’t ask for anything in return. Since we work diligently to curate these invite lists, we very much hope you can commit to attending after you RSVP yes. However, we understand that things happen. We ask that you give us as much warning as possible so that we may offer your spot to another individual in our database. We appreciate your assistance in this. If you’re feeling anxious about attending for whatever reason, please reach out to us and let us know how we can best support you before and during the event. We want you to feel welcome, relaxed and enjoy meeting our team and database members.

How will I know where to meet if it’s a large space?

The venue will know ahead of time that we are holding a singles gathering for anywhere from 25 to 45 individuals somewhere within their restaurant or space. They should be able to direct you to the bar or area of the venue in which we have gathered. You may also reach out to Kate Woodward, who will be at every event, via text message; Kate’s contact information may be found in the signature portion of your email invitation.
