What exactly is a Speed Dating event?
Speed Dating- an easy way to meet several singles in a particular age group in one night
History: The concept of "Speed Dating" has been around for 20+ years! Speed dating actually started in Los Angeles in 1998 when the first event was held by Rabbi Yaacov Devo, at Pete’s Café in Beverly Hills CA Speed Dating eventually crossed the Atlantic and is hot in the UK and many other parts of the world now!
Objective: The goal of these events is to help busy active singles, have a chance to meet with several singles in person; face-to-face, in a pleasant non-threatening, private environment. Its very organized and great way for shy introverted singles to meet.
7 in Heaven Speed Dating events are held in nice restaurants which serve excellent food, not loud bar room pubs.
We have 6 separate Age Groups for our events, starting at age 25 and up to 73+
How Speed Dating works: I like to say, it's a bit like musical chairs!
When you arrive for Speed Dating, you are greeted by the host and given your assigned table number. Everyone meets at the bar area to mingle before our event begins. Appetizers are also included in the price of our regular Speed-Dating Events and the first drink is on US! We then go to a separate private area with tables.
When we begin, the host will give you a brief overview and instructions before we get started.
Women stay at the same table all evening, while the men participants progress around the room to a different table meeting a new "date” every 7 minutes (hence the name "7 in Heaven")
We ring a “cowbell” at the end of each date, which signals the men to move to the next table to meet the next women. This continues until all participants have met each other.
We provide everything you will need.
Pens, and papers with everyone's name you will be meeting with; will be listed on the sheets provided. As you meet each person, you mark YES or NO if you would like to meet with that particular person again.
At the end of the evening, everyone turns in their sheet.
The following day, emails are sent to you with a complete report on your matches.
Even those that picked you (that you did NOT pick) sometimes referred to as "one way matches" are reported to you.
(Note: we can give you a phone call if you do not have email - please inform host)
In addition to those you meet one-on-one in your rotations, you'll have the opportunity to meet and mingle with the other participants before the event and after the event. At 7 in Heaven Speed Dating events, you do get one drink FREE and appetizers included in the price. Additional food and drinks are available for purchase through the venue and are at the participant's personal expense. *No additional minimum purchases required!
