About this Event
↪️ The event will begin with a brief introduction from your host, Fern Connections.
↪️ Following the introduction, we will explain the order of events, rules for how to pitch, pitching best practices, and then we’ll begin!
What Is A Pitch-For-A-Date Event?
Pitch-For-A-Date is a take on the popular Pitch-For-A-Friend trend where instead of having your friend pitch YOU for a date, you’ll be pitching yourself to an audience of eligible daters about why they should go on a date with you!
💭 Don’t know how to pitch? No worries! Our Certified Dating Coach and Matchmaker, Daphney Poyser, will be there with you to help guide you through what to say (and what not to say 👀), and to help direct any questions from the audience!
🎤 Not sure if you want to pitch? Also not a problem! Purchasing a ticket doesn’t mean you have to pitch! When you arrive you’ll put your name on the “pitch list” and we'll use that list to randomly decide who goes first.
✨ So grab your wing women, or your hype men, or just bring your beautiful self out to Mayer’s Garden on Thursday, May 21st, for an amazing evening of unique, flirty, fun! 😉
