The Art of Matchmaking: A Conversation and Dinner with the Pros

24 NXG NXG Tu BAv Matchmaking Digital Banners 960x600 JLive 1 UXNjfu.tmp NgIefi.tmp

In honor of Tu B’Av (the Hebrew holiday of love), we’re bringing together
three real deal matchmakers 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
of matchmakers 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.
