The feeling we’re after
Real conversation, beautifully hosted.
No swiping, no endless messaging. Just a warm room, a friendly host and a handful of easy conversations with people who showed up for the same reason you did.
- Coming alone? Wonderful. Most guests do, and we make sure you feel at ease from the moment you arrive.
- We take care of the details. The timing, the flow, the quiet follow-up — so you can simply be present.
- Matches stay private. Contact details are only shared when the interest is mutual.
Questions
Good to know
Do I need to register?
Yes — every guest must register to take part. Create your profile on thelovelysociety.com with a selfie, your first name and phone number, using the same email as your Eventbrite ticket. It takes about two minutes. Need a hand? Arrive 30 minutes early and we’ll help you at the door.
Do I need an app?
No app needed — the whole evening runs on our website in your phone’s browser. Any recent smartphone works, iPhone ideally. Before the evening, please update your phone and your browser (Safari or Chrome), charge it fully, and bring it with you.
Can I come alone?
Yes — most guests do. Solo guests are warmly welcome, and our host will help you settle in.
Which ages can attend?
Each evening has its own age range, shown on the event. Women seeking men and men seeking women.
How does the evening work?
Your phone shows the photo and first name of each date. You have two minutes to find each other, then five minutes to talk. There are no assigned tables — sit wherever you like. Up to ten dates in an evening.
What if the numbers are uneven?
Sometimes a few more women or men arrive. When that happens, someone sits out a round — a short break, about seven minutes. Your phone shows a countdown to your next date, so it’s the perfect moment for a drink. You never meet the same person twice.
What if I’m running late?
Come anyway. Check in when you arrive and tap “I’m ready” — you’ll join from the next round.
How do matches work?
After each date you privately choose “Would meet again” or “Not this time”. If you both chose each other, we email you at 10 AM the next morning with their first name and phone number — and you’ll see them on your profile.
Is my information private?
Yes. Your choices are never shown to anyone. Only a mutual match receives your first name and phone number — your email and last name are never shared.
What if I don’t get a match?
It happens — chemistry often clicks on a second evening. We’ll send you a kind note with 15% off your next Lovely Society evening.
Are food and drinks included?
Inclusions vary by evening — check the event details.
What is the refund policy?
Full refund up to 7 days before the evening. Inside 7 days tickets are final — we can only move yours to another Lovely Society evening as credit. If we cancel or postpone, you're refunded in full.
