🔥 Skip the swiping—come meet real, local singles in person! 🔥

If you’re tired of the same old routine, this is your chance to mix things up, meet new people, and have fun putting yourself out there! Our speed dating events make it easy and natural to spark connections—without the pressure of a full date.

🍸 The night starts with a casual mingle & mixer—grab yourself a drink to loosen up those nerves (no longer included, but still encouraged) and chat before the dating rounds begin.

💬 Not great at starting conversations? No worries! Because we’ve got you covered with icebreaker questions to kick off each round. Plus, there’s a lovely, high-energy host there to hype you up, keep the energy high, and ease any nerves!

✨ As the night progresses, remember the room might be buzzing with loud and exciting chats! So while it might be a bit hard to hear your date... Embrace the noise! Because it's part of the fun and lively atmosphere that Sips & Sparks fosters at each event.

And as the bell rings to signal the end of each round, you’ll rotate to meet someone new in an atmosphere filled with positive energy and excitement. You’ll get to meet everyone in the room in a fun, relaxed way.

⏳ Arrive 15–30 minutes early to settle in! We start right on time, and late arrivals may not be accommodated.

💖 How it works:

✔️ After each speed date round, you’ll select friend, date, or none on a simple matching system.

✔️ If there’s a mutual match, we’ll send you each other’s contact info the next day!

✔️ No smartphone? No problem—we’ve got paper match forms too.

✨ Remember: This event is all about active listening, learning, and exploring connections. While many people do meet someone special, the key to enjoying this experience is letting go of expectations and focusing on meeting new people, discovering common interests, and seeing where things go.

It’s about building confidence, sharpening your social skills, and being open to the possibility of a new friendship or even a romantic connection—but don’t go in expecting one.

What you can expect is to take actionable steps toward meeting new people, because you definitely won’t find your match staying home alone. 💪

Similarly to most other dating platforms, it is your responsibility to perform your own due diligence on any individuals you choose to meet with. Our primary goal is to create an inclusive, comfortable, and enjoyable environment for all attendees.

Within 1 week of the event, we will only issue a refund if we are able to fill your spot. (Note that Eventbrite processing fees are always non-refundable!)
