Frequently asked questions

Is this event like speed dating?

Not at all. Come to the Table is a thoughtfully hosted gathering for singles (40+) who are serious about faith-based connection. Think relaxed yet structured conversation with intentional introductions & mix/mingle time in a warm atmosphere with live music, hors d'oeuvres & signature cocktails.

What should I wear?

Date-Night Smart – polished, put-together, and ready to connect. Think stylish but comfortable—not overly casual, not overly formal. Come as the best version of your everyday self. Men's suit coats & women's dresses/pantsuits welcomed. Additional suggestions available @thetablecollective.com

What if I’m more interested in friendship or networking than dating?

You’re in good company. While Come to the Table is a romantic-minded event, many Tablemates come hoping to meet people for friendship, business connections, and faith-based community. Our conversation prompts make space for all of that.

What if I don’t drink alcohol?

No problem at all. Your ticket includes one drink (with a two-alcohol drink max), and we’ll have delicious mocktail versions of our signature cocktail as well.

Do I need to complete the background check before purchasing a ticket?

YES. The $25 non-refundable fee is paid directly to SafeScreener, an accredited, BBB A+ rated third-party provider trusted by faith-based organizations nationwide. The process is secure and takes just a few minutes. ? TTC will never receive your Social Security number as part of this report.

Is this event LGBTQ+ inclusive?

Come to the Table holds deep respect for all individuals, but our events are uniquely designed for faith-based men and women seeking heterosexual connection.

Organized by

Our flagship event—Come to the Table—offers an elegant, curated alternative to online dating: think live music, meaningful prompts, and a setting that feels more like a modern-day meet-cute (in a mansion no less!) than a singles mixer (or the dreaded speed dating)!

Whether you're stepping back into the world of dating or simply looking to meet people of substance, you’ll find a seat waiting for you!
