About this event

• Event lasts 2 hours

Get in the holiday spirit!!! **Ugly Christmas sweaters are optional but STRONGLY ENCOURAGED! **

Get ready for a fun night of real connections! Our in-person speed dating events are the perfect way to meet local singles and see who you might want to get to know better, without the pressure of a full date. The evening will kick off with a free mingle/mixer session, giving you a chance to chat casually and meet others before the speed dating rounds begin. Plus, your ticket includes a free drink to kick things off!

Be sure to arrive 15-30 minutes early to settle in and grab your drink. We’ll start the first round of speed dating right on time and if you’re late we might not be able to fit you in, so please plan ahead!

During the event, you’ll use our simple online matching system on your phone to select your preferences. If it’s a mutual match, we’ll send you each other's contact info the next day! No smartphone? No worries! We have paper match forms available too.
