FAQs:

Is there a dress code?

Dress to impress. More importantly, dress in whatever you feel represents you best.

Do I have to bring my ID to the event?

If you want to purchase drinks, yes.

What if I don't know what to say?

There will be plenty of question cards available for you on the tables so you never have to worry about running out of things to say.

Will there be food there?

Yes. There will be small bites (finger foods) available throughout the course of the night.

What if I am not enjoying my conversation?

If you're not feeling a spark with someone, that's totally fine! We just ask that you be kind, even if you don't have a romantic interest. You can have a bathroom break or grab another drink if you don't want to continue speaking with them. Good thing is- there's only a few minutes with each person and then you switch to the next!

What happens if I'm interested in someone?

When you arrive, you will be given a name tag and "match card". When you feel a connection with someone, you'll write their name on the card and at the end of the night, you'll drop it into an anonymous box and the matchmakers (host) will do the rest! Any mutual connects will be notified within 48 hours.
