Here’s all you need to know about our in-person speed dating events in Ottawa: Start by purchasing a ticket from the list of speed dating events below. Once your ticket is processed, you’ll receive a confirmation email from our team. Keep an eye on your inbox! On the day of the event, make sure to dress your best and prepare some talking points (remember, first impressions count). Arrive at the venue 15 minutes before the event begins, and our friendly host will be there to check you in and provide you with a scorecard.
Feel free to enjoy the first quarter of the event by sitting back, relaxing, and mingling with the other guests. We also encourage you to head to the bar and grab a drink during this time (a little liquid confidence never hurts).
So… how does speed dating work?
Once everyone is in attendance and settled in, we like to kick off our Ottawa speed dating events with an ice breaker game to warm everyone up. Whether it’s a bit of trivia or a game of two truths and a lie, our goal is to ensure each event is unique as our team constantly introduces new games and ice-breakers.
As you begin each date, remember to write down your dater’s name and, at the end, mark off if you felt it was a good match or not. Once you’ve spoken to everyone, you’re all set—great job! Make sure your scorecard is filled out correctly, hand it back to our host, and leave the rest to us.
Don’t forget to jot down your dater’s name at the beginning of each date and mark if it felt like a good match at the end. Once you’ve spoken to everyone, you’re all set—fantastic job! Ensure your scorecard is correctly filled out, hand it back to our host, and leave the rest to us.
However, just because the event concludes, it doesn’t mean your night has to end! Feel free to stick around for a drink (or two). Unwind, relax, and maybe continue chatting with some of the other daters from our speed dating event. Within 48 hours, expect an email from us with exciting news about your potential matches from the speed dating event.
