Question 1

What should I wear?

Accepted Answer

Whatever makes you feel like your best self. Think first date: something cute but casual.

Question 2

I've never been to a singles event before and I'm feeling nervous - any tips?

Accepted Answer

As more and more people are looking to ditch the apps, most of our attendees are also trying this for the first time — you're not alone!  Just remember that everyone’s here to meet new people.  And yes, most people come solo :)

Question 3

I'm not in the advertised age range, can I still attend?

Accepted Answer

We’re flexible by a year or two, but if you're more than two years outside the range, please join us at another event. Other guests are expecting to meet people in the listed age group, and we want to respect that.

Question 4

What time should I get there?

Accepted Answer

Please arrive during the arrival window between 6:30 and 6:45. The timing of this event is important—if you arrive later than 6:45pm, we cannot guarantee that you'll be able to participate, and refunds will not be given.
