Toronto, get ready. Toronto Dating Hub is bringing together our best singles event ideas yet — combining last year’s popular open mingling mixer format + live dating auction format + our brand-new blind bio showcase, inspired by Love Is Blind and The Bachelor/ette AND match forms to confirm who's interested in you!


Kickstart 2026 with our signature singles mixer with a unique twist:
  • Open mingle with eligible professionals who fit the criteria our singles community values most
  • Preview curated singles through (no photos, no names) before you meet them IRL
  • Watch our live dating auction segment where featured bachelors and bachelorettes are revealed
  • Fill out match forms after the mixer — a first for our open mingling format — to indicate who you want to connect with


This hybrid format lets you enjoy the excitement of the auction while still having the freedom to meet all attendees, giving you more intentionality and a higher chance of meaningful connections.

  2. Purchase your ticket if you're interested in meeting any of the featured bachelor/ettes or the eligible singles attending who fit our criteria
  3. Attend the mixer and meet everyone in person — including the mystery singles from the showcase.
  4. Watch our Dating Auction segment, where featured bachelors/bachelorettes are revealed and highlighted
  5. Let the sparks fly - make genuine connections. 💫
  6. Fill in a digital match form to indicate who you want to know better.
