DMV Matchmaking: An Exclusive Affair by R & Co.

Tired of the swipe? We were too.

We’ve ditched the swiping culture to bring back the art of the human connection. At Events by R & Co., we believe love knows no bounds. If you’re looking for your last "first date" or a partner to share Sunday mornings with, apply now!

Curated for residents of the DC-Maryland-Virginia area—vibrant singles aged 25 to 85+ who are ready for long-term, values-aligned love. Whether you are straight, queer, or anywhere on the gender spectrum, if you are emotionally available, open-minded, and ready for a little magic, there is a seat for you.

This isn't your average, awkward mixer. We are hosting a fully facilitated, in-person Match Day experience at a secret DMV venue designed to foster real, heart-to-heart connections. We handle the heavy lifting of vetting and alignment so you can simply show up, be your most authentic self, and see if the sparks fly.

It starts with an intentional "yes." Secure your $75 Application Ticket to begin. This allows our team to spend dedicated time with your story. You’ll receive our in-depth questionnaire via email to share your goals, lifestyle, and "must-haves."

• Deadline to complete questionnaire: March 8, 2026.
• Note: An application does not guarantee a match. We prioritize quality to ensure the best experience for everyone.

This is where the magic happens. We don’t use cold algorithms; we use human intuition. Our team personally explores every response—from your core values and favorite memories to your communication style—ensuring we only move forward when we see a foundation worth building on.

If we identify a high-potential match for you, you’ll receive an exclusive invitation to join us on Saturday, May 16, 2026. To confirm your seat and unlock the secret location, a $150 Match Day Ticket covers:

• Your curated event experience & personal introductions.
• Open Bar to toast to new beginnings.
• Expert facilitation to keep the evening effortless.

Once invited, you’ll receive a private link to finalize your registration and secure your spot in the room.

4. The Big Reveal: Match Day Forget the "first date jitters." On Match Day, we do more than just point you toward each other. Our team personally introduces you and shares the "why" behind your pairings. We highlight your shared goals, giving you a structured and meaningful head start on a real connection.

The Clock is Ticking: To give our matching team enough time to work their magic, all questionnaires must be submitted by Sunday, March 8, 2026.
