Speed Friending in The Garden

New to the city? Looking to expand your social circle, meet new people, or connect with other women in a fun, low-pressure setting? This event is for you!

Join us for a Speed Friending experience—think speed dating, but for making new friends. You’ll be paired in short, one-on-one conversations with other attendees, rotating every few minutes. Each round gives you the chance to meet someone new, share a few laughs, and see if there’s a spark for friendship. It’s the perfect way to break the ice, step out of your comfort zone, and meet a variety of women in a short amount of time—without the awkwardness of small talk at a big party.

After the speed friending rounds, stick around for a casual mixer where you can keep the conversations going, follow up with your favorite connections, and mingle freely without the clock ticking. Whether you’re new in town, starting a new chapter in life, or just want to connect with like-minded women, this is a welcoming space for genuine connections and good vibes.
