About this event
A night made for you, with people who feel like home.
Ditch the swiping. Come meet real, local singles in person. This is a warm and intentionally inclusive speed dating night for LGBTQIA+ singles who are ready to connect face to face. No more endless texting and never meeting in person, no more guessing. Just a fun, social singles event where you can show up exactly as you are and simply enjoy getting to know people in a space that genuinely welcomes you.
Our speed dating events are designed to feel natural and effortless. It is everything you wish dating apps felt like, but in real life and in a space that feels like community from the moment you walk in.
Note on Age Range: While this event is geared toward LGBTQIA+ singles ages 30 to 49, it is not a strict rule. If you feel like you would connect well with this crowd, you are welcome to join. Our goal is always to create a well-balanced group where connections actually make sense.
🎟️ Ticket Pricing
Reserve your spot early! Ticket prices increase once the first 20 tickets have been sold.
Our events are intentionally kept at a comfortable size to ensure everyone has enough time to meet each participant. As events fill up, ticket prices increase, so we recommend reserving your spot early to lock in the best price.
Don’t wait. Secure your ticket before the first 20 spots are gone!

How the Night Works
Start with a Social Mixer Kick things off with a relaxed mingle. Grab a drink (not included, but highly encouraged), settle in, and get comfortable before the rounds begin.
Easy, Guided Conversations We keep things flowing so you don’t have to overthink it. Each round includes a fun icebreaker, and our host guides the room so everything feels smooth, upbeat, and never awkward.
Quick, Real Connections You’ll spend a few minutes with each person, just enough time to catch a vibe before rotating. It’s light, fun, and way more natural than sitting through a full date.
Match the Ones You’re Into After each round, you’ll mark “friend,” “date,” or “none” on our simple matching system. If it’s mutual, we’ll send you each other’s info the next day.

A Few Things to Know
⏰ Please arrive 15–30 minutes early to check in and get settled. We start on time, and late arrivals may not be accommodated.
💡 This is meant to be fun! The best way to enjoy it is to stay open, be present, and focus on meeting new people. Some people leave with a match, others leave with new connections—either way, it’s a great night.

Spots are limited to keep the experience smooth and the ratios balanced. Once we’re full, we’re full.
