Speed Dating (ages 30-35)

Ready to meet local singles face-to-face? Join Sips & Sparks for a fun, low-pressure evening of meaningful connections!

Get tickets

Ditch the swiping and come meet real, local singles in person!

If you're tired of the same old routine, this is your chance to mix things up, meet new people, and have fun putting yourself out there! Our speed dating events make it easy and natural to spark connections—without the pressure of a full date.

Note on Age Range: While this event is primarily focused on singles in the age range specified in the title, this is only a suggestion—not a strict requirement. If you're slightly outside this range but feel you'd connect well with this group, you're welcome to join! Our goal is to create well-balanced events where everyone can meet compatible matches.

How the Evening Unfolds

Casual Mixer Kickoff: The night starts with a relaxed mingle where you can grab a drink (not included, but encouraged) and ease into the atmosphere before the dating rounds begin.

Guided Conversations: Not great at starting conversations? No worries! We provide an icebreaker question each round, and our high-energy host keeps things flowing smoothly.

Perfect-Length Connections: You'll have just enough time with each person to feel out their vibe before moving on to meet someone new—all in a positive, supportive, lighthearted, pressure-free atmosphere.

Simple Matching System: After each round, simply mark "friend," "date," or "none" on our easy matching system. Mutual matches receive contact info the next day!

Important Details

⏰ Arrive 15–30 minutes early to settle in! We start promptly, and late arrivals may not be accommodated.

💡 Remember: This event is all about active listening, learning, and exploring connections. While many attendees do meet someone special, the key to enjoying the experience is focusing on meeting new people without specific expectations.

Space is limited to ensure quality interactions and a balanced group. Reserve your spot now!
