What to expect

• Our arrival window is 6.30-6.45pm to get settled (we'll have a fun ice breaker going during this time!). the event will start promptly at 7pm, with a short break built in to give time to take a breather & grab drinks. Please help us run a smooth event by arriving no later than 6.45pm!
• Once we get going, you'll chat with other attendees one-on-one, with conversation cards as optional prompts to keep the conversation fun and flowing. Hosts will be on hand to let you know when its time to move on!
• Drinks from Consignment Lounge's awesome menu will be available to purchase throughout the evening. Food isn't available at the venue, so we recommend eating beforehand.
• After the event we encourage you to stick around, continue any fun conversations, and hang out with us at the bar! We end the structured part of the event around 8.15pm, so there's chance to follow up the evening with more mingling.

Access Notes:

• Consignment Lounge has one small step leading into the venue. For our speed friending/dating events, we use a mixture of high-top and low-top tables: we encourage guests to let us know on arrival whether they have a preference to move or stay sat throughout the event.
• The nature of our social events, particularly those indoors, is that they can become loud due to many people talking at the same time. At this specific event we may have the ability to assign a quieter seat. Please arrive early and let us know on arrival if this would be helpful to you so that we can try to accommodate.
• Optional masks are available on the door.
• We offer sliding scale tickets at all of our events. Please email us at [email protected] if you need to make use of this option.
• Please email us at [email protected] if you have any specific accessibility needs or questions, and we'll do our very best to accommodate.
