Ticket prices increase once the first 20 tickets have been sold.Our events are intentionally kept at a comfortable size to ensure everyone has enough time to meet each participant. As events fill up, ticket prices increase, so we recommend reserving your spot early to lock in the best price.Don’t wait. Secure your ticket before the first 20 spots are gone!⸻How the Night WorksStart with a Social MixerKick things off with a relaxed mingle. Grab a drink (not included, but highly encouraged), settle in, and get comfortable before the rounds begin.Easy, Guided ConversationsWe keep things flowing so you don’t have to overthink it. Each round includes a fun icebreaker, and our host guides the room so everything feels smooth, upbeat, and never awkward.Quick, Real ConnectionsYou’ll spend a few minutes with each person, just enough time to catch a vibe before rotating. It’s light, fun, and way more natural than sitting through a full date.Match the Ones You’re IntoAfter each round, you’ll mark “friend,” “date,” or “none” on our simple matching system. If it’s mutual, we’ll send you each other’s info the next day.⸻A Few Things to Know⏰ Please arrive 15–30 minutes early to check in and get settled. We start on time, and late arrivals may not be accommodated.💡 This is meant to be fun! The best way to enjoy it is to stay open, be present, and focus on meeting new people. Some people leave with a match, others leave with new connections—either way, it’s a great night.⸻Spots are limited to keep the experience smooth and the ratios balanced. Once we’re full, we’re full.Follow us @sipsandsparks for upcoming events, behind-the-scenes, and occasional promo codes 🎉https://youtube.com/shorts/wUlW-4V7eDIEvent Terms & PoliciesImportant Safety NoticePlease read carefully: Sips and Sparks does NOT conduct background checks, verify identities, or screen participants in any way.
