In honor of Tu B'Av (the Hebrew holiday of love), we're bringing together real deal matchmakers and professionals to let you in on the art, science and magic of making matches! Whether you just love the Netflix shows and want to meet some pros in real life, you wouldn't mind some help getting fixed up or you're interested in making some matches yourself, this event is for you! Our panel will give you a glimpse into the work that they do, answer questions and be available to chat after the discussion while we enjoy some cocktails and dinner at Belle's Lounge by Valentine Distilling Co.. And if you like what you hear and are interested in working with one of our matchmaker panelists, you'll have the opportunity to fill and submit a resume to become a client.
$30 per person includes your first drink, dinner, meet-and-greet and the opportunity to submit a resume to one of our matchmakers.
Wear white in honor of the Tu B'Av tradition!
Dietary laws observed.
This event is intended for young adults ages 21 to 39.
