About this Event
This is our popular monthly speed dating event intended for likeminded professionals with the intent to marry within 2-5 years. Toronto Dating Hub is always innovating and we're excited to be the first in Toronto in 2025 to host dedicated mixers exclusively for singles who are in the same life stage: ready for marriage and looking to settle down.
These mixers were a hit since we introduced this in June 2025 so now we will host a speed dating version monthly for this audience to help you form meaningful connections. For once, the event is NOT dictating the age range - but our typical attendees tend to be ages 28-45.
This event is for working professionals who are dating with intention—no casual flings, no situationships - they are looking to get married within 2-5 years.
Come mix & mingle with like-minded GTA professional singles.
