About this Event

Hosted by ENM Matchmaker Victoria and her husband Ryan, in collaboration with Birds of a Feather Matchmaking, we invite you to an intentionally curated evening of connection.

This experience is designed for individuals interested in ethical non-monogamy, offering a welcoming and elevated space for singles and solos to meet like-minded people. Whether you are new to ENM or well-versed, the evening is crafted to foster meaningful interactions, aligned values, and genuine chemistry.

Guests will enjoy a thoughtfully structured format that encourages engaging conversations, while maintaining a relaxed, respectful atmosphere. Our goal is to create an environment where connections—romantic, platonic, or social—can develop organically and comfortably.

We welcome all self-identified women and men and aim to cultivate a diverse and inclusive space. While this particular event follows a traditional format using binary gender structuring, we recognize that this may not fully reflect the breadth of our community. We deeply value our non-binary and LGBTQ+ community members and are actively exploring ways to create more inclusive event formats. We welcome your insight and invite you to connect with Victoria directly to share feedback or collaborate.
