Here’s How the Fun Unfolds:
✨ Casual Caffeine Kickoff – Grab your favorite latte, coffee or iced brew (not included but highly recommended!) and enjoy a relaxed pre-event mingle to warm up.
✨ Guided Conversations – No need to stress about conversation starters! Each round includes a playful icebreaker question to keep things flowing. Plus, our upbeat host ensures you’ll feel comfortable and confident.
✨ Perfect-Length Mini-Dates – Enjoy just the right amount of time to connect with each person, keeping things light, lively, and memorable.
✨ Simple, Sweet Matching – After each round, just mark your match card with "friend," "date," or "pass." If there’s a mutual spark, we’ll send you both the contact info the next day!
