Event Structure

1. Check-In & Mingle (30 mins): Get checked in with staff, grab your nametag, fill out a raffle card, get a drink, get some snacks, and go to your assigned seat when it's time to start.
2. Instructions (5 mins): Staff will welcome you and provide you with instructions on how the rounds will move.
3. Speed Dating Rounds with Breaks (60-90 mins - depending on # of daters): Women stay seated while the men rotate to the next highest numbered table at the end of each 5-minute date. Organizers time the dates and give instructions for everyone to move to their next date. Every 4-5 dates, there is a break for snacks, bathroom, stretching your legs, etc.
4. Closing (5 mins): Draw the winner of the raffle, and give instructions for how to submit your connection card after the event.
5. Post-Event (until midnight): Daters submit their connection cards digitally for who they'd like to connect with for a second date. Within 48 hours, BVSD will email you with your connection(s) or to let you know if you did not connect with anyone at this event. We encourage everyone to submit a form even if they don't want to connect with anyone they met for a second date, as we still want your feedback and thoughts!

Need a little bit more convincing? Take a look at our stats!

• 100% of past participants would recommend our speed dating events to other singles
• 100% of past participants reported they were "comfortable" or "very comfortable" at our events
• 33-72% of past participants have matched with someone they "dated" at the event (for comparison, dating apps are between 1-10% just for a mutual match - not even a text or in-person conversation yet!).
• We have facilitated 631 first dates since we got started in August 2025.

Disclaimer: We cannot guarantee a minimum number of dates since we have no control over how many pre-registered participants physically show up to the event.

We know that being single, working for the public, and paying for a speed dating event can be difficult. That is why we've created $10 discounts for a range of public servants! Please send us an email at [email protected], with your information and the discount you qualify for, and we'll send you the promo code to use to get $10 off your ticket.
