About this Event

Have you got a mate who’s too shy to put themselves out there but definitely ready to meet the love of their life?


Or maybe… that mate is you?


Welcome to Date My Mate, a two-hour event where confidence is optional and friendship is mandatory. Instead of awkward small talk, we’re handing you the clicker.

Participants will have up to five minutes to present a PowerPoint pitching their friend to a room full of potential suiters. Think: green flags, red flags, fun facts, embarrassing photos (used lovingly), and why this person is an absolute catch.


How it works:

  • Purchase a ticket to attend the event
  • You’ll receive a form to nominate yourself or a friend
  • If selected to present, your ticket fee will be fully refunded
  • You’ll get five glorious minutes to sell the dream


No pressure. No swiping. Just slides, laughs, and maybe… love.

Ready to pitch perfection? 💘📈


Come alone to meet somebody new, or bring a friend!


What should my presentation include?

Show off your friend in the best light possible. Some pictures, their hobbies, what they think is the perfect date. Maybe even some of their unusal habits. Keep it fun and lighthearted and love will follow...!


Can I come alone?

Absolutely! Come alone and meet the love of your life or bring a friend to help them meet theirs.


Do I have to pitch?

Nope, not everybody needs to pitch somebody. We will be selecting a few people to pitch their friends and everybody else can enjoy the presentations!


My friend can't make it, can I still pitch them?

We want everybody that is being pitched to attend the event so that they can meet their potential suiters on the night, so yes they must be in attendance.


What is the age range?

This particular event is for those aged 22 - 35.
