Date Lights

…Finding Love at First Light!

Real People. Authentic Connections. No Swiping.

Date Lights is a refreshing event experience designed for singles and their supportive friends. We’re all about moving away from endless online swiping and bringing people back together — in person, with laughter, energy, and authentic connection.

At each Date Lights event, we create a relaxed, social atmosphere where everyone can meet new people naturally, whether it’s through curated icebreakers, fun games, or simply sharing good conversation, there’s no pressure!

Singles come to spark genuine chemistry, and their friends can come along to cheer them on, join the fun, and maybe even help make a match or two.

💬 How It Works

1. Arrive and Shine Check in, grab a drink, and get comfortable. You’ll meet a mix of singles including those with friends there to support them — all ready to mingle in a relaxed setting.
2. Connect Through Experience Enjoy guided icebreakers, small group activities icluding optional speed dating, and moments designed to spark authentic conversation. Nothing forced, nothing cringey — just good vibes and shared laughs.
3. Stay for the Glow After the main event, stick around to chat, dance, or just enjoy the social atmosphere. Many say this is where the best connections happen.

Who It’s For

• Singles who are tired of the swipe scene and want to meet people in real life again.
• Friends who love being part of the experience — your presence brings warmth, support, and great energy to the night.
• Anyone who believes connection can be fun and meaningful.

💚The Heart of It

At Date Lights, we believe dating shouldn’t feel like a job — it should feel like a night out filled with possibility. Whether you leave with a new match, a new friend, or just a big smile, you’ll leave feeling more connected than when you arrived.

Let’s make dating human again. Let’s make it light up!

This event is for persons aged 25 -45 (We ask you attend only if you fall into this age bracket).
