Partner Material: A Sapphic Matchmaking Mixer

The best new alternative to meeting people on apps: curated matches and a community of intentional daters.

It’s like speed dating, but with a matchmaking twist. Instead of meeting a lot of people for a few minutes, we introduce you to the three people with whom you share the most compatibility* for twenty minutes each.
Compatibility: Meeting one another’s preferences and aligning on long-term goals. Think: age, height, gender identity, gender expression, relationship structure (monogamy, enm, poly), politics, religion, children, pets, core values, lifestyle, etc.
To participate in the event, you must purchase a ticket and complete a profile by Thursday, September 24, 2026 at 10pm. Please note: this event is for individuals aged 25-45 years old.
Tickets are $20 before September 14 and $30 thereafter.
Bonus: Completing a profile also enables you to be matched with Pride Matchmaking clients in the future.
