A dating themed cocktail party, where everyone arrives single... and everyone gets matched with a date.
About this Event

đź’Ś Join us for a dating-themed cocktail party, where everyone arrives single and everyone gets a match... no swiping necessary! Hosted by the Love Doctor and Noir Events, your home for Seattle's most charming, intimate, and thoughtful events.
Matching will be powered by Matchbox. It’s a software that uses relationship science to find you your most compatible match at the party. It’s also the same technology behind the Marriage Pact, tradition at 100+ universities that's matched more than half a million people to date.
Now Introducing... PLATONIC MATCHES
Look, I hear you. For one reason or another, a romantic match doesn't sound right for you at the moment. Join the platonic matches and find a friend with the same Matchbox science. But you must be single: it's going to get flirty! đź’‹
Sincerely,
The Love Doctor
đź’Ś ALL GUESTS MUST RSVP BY SUNDAY @ 11AM.


TICKET INCLUDES:
- Admission to attendance at the Velvet Elk
- Choice of romantic or platonic matchmaking
- A thoughtful and intimate evening with friends
- Dating games to play (the good kind)
- A chance to win a $50 date night voucher!

HOW IT WORKS:
Upon arrival, you’ll take a matching questionnaire built by Matchbox's team of relationship scientists.
The Matchbox algorithm will identify your optimal match at the party, based on relationship science, AI, and Nobel Prize-winning economics.
After an evening of mixing, mingling, and a few charming dating games with other singles, your matches are revealed. Who will you meet?


WHO IT'S FOR:
The matching process is highly intentional—come with an open mind!
If your match isn’t love at first sight, that’s okay! The algorithm is designed for long-term compatibility, so at baseline, you’ll be values-aligned.
At the end of the day, this will be a great group of single people. Enjoy meeting everyone, keep an open mind, and remember to be kind.


EVENT STRUCTURE:
Please be on time! The mixer isn't complete without you.
7:00pm—the event begins, surveys open
8:00pm—doors close, dating games
8:30pm—clues revealed about your match
9:00pm—matches revealed, love letter mad libs
