In-Person Speed Dating | How It Works

The best connections happen when you're relaxed, comfortable, and free of pressure. A Relish evening is designed to feel like a night worth having, not a process to manage. No bells, no whistles, no name-tags. Just a thoughtfully chosen venue, attentive staff, and an atmosphere where driven professionals can simply be themselves. We think that's exactly how it should be.

Upon registration, you'll receive an email inviting you to access your personal Relish Card, your discreet mobile selection tool for the evening. Simply select your city, browse the event listings, and reserve your place. All registrations must be made in advance. Payment is not accepted at the door.

Arrive a little early, settle in, and enjoy a drink. Our staff are there to ensure the evening remains effortless. Once the event begins, women remain seated while men move from table to table every six to seven minutes. As the evening unfolds, use your Relish Card to select who you'd like to see again and indicate your level of interest. Submit your final choices by midnight and return to the platform to discover your matches. Your Relish Card is accessible via mobile, tablet, or PC, no app download required, with anytime access directly from our website.

There's no pressure to determine if someone is the one. Think of it simply as the date before the date. You're here to enjoy the evening, meet ambitious people, and see what sparks. When two people choose each other, it's a match. You'll each receive a first name and email address. The rest is entirely up to you, and that's where the real fun begins.

In-Person Speed Dating | FAQ

How is Relish different from traditional speed dating? Relish takes a less is more approach that we believe makes for a far more enjoyable evening. No loud microphones, no whistles, no name-tags, no over-the-top trimmings. Just a well-chosen venue, a relaxed atmosphere, and the kind of environment where driven professionals can have a genuinely good time.

What type of people can I expect to meet? The fact that you're reading about us likely means they're just like you. Entrepreneurs, executives, and driven professionals who value their time, know what they want, and appreciate a refined evening over a chaotic one. The kind of room where ambition is understood and education is worn lightly. We are defined in part by our venues, and our crowd reflects that.

How do I reserve my place? Simply select your city, browse the event listings, and choose the event that works for you. Reserving your place takes just a few minutes. All registrations must be made in advance. Payment is not accepted at the door.

What time should I arrive? Published start times can be found in the event description. We do like to wait for all guests to arrive before beginning, so arriving a few minutes early is always a good idea. It's a perfect opportunity to settle in, enjoy a drink, and let the evening find its pace.

What is a Relish Match? A Relish Match means two people chose each other. Your Relish Card allows you to select who you'd like to see again and indicate your level of interest. Submit your final choices by midnight and return to the platform to see your matches. Your Relish Card is accessible via mobile, tablet, or PC with no app download required, anytime from our website.

How long will I spend with each person? Each conversation runs five to six minutes. For larger events, this may be adjusted slightly to accommodate all guests comfortably.

So little time, so much to say. Not to worry. Professionals tend to know within minutes whether there's a connection worth exploring. There's also intermission to continue a conversation, and plenty of time to mingle once the event wraps up.

How long does a Relish event last? Events typically run about two hours including intermission, though the length varies based on attendance.

What happens when the event is over? That's entirely up to you. Most guests find this is when the evening really opens up. Stay, mingle, and see where the night takes you.

How many people will I meet? Relish events typically welcome between 20 and 40 guests per evening.

What should I wear? Dress as you would for a first date. Polished and confident always works.

I am outside your listed age range. May I still attend? Of course. Our age ranges are suggestions, not restrictions.

 Most matchmaking services ask for your time, your patience, and a significant financial commitment before they've proven they can deliver. We do things differently.

Our introductions come from a crowd we already know. Every week, Relish welcomes accomplished professionals, entrepreneurs, and driven individuals to our events across 50+ cities. That gives us something most matchmakers simply don't have: direct, ongoing access to exactly the kind of person you're looking for. No bars, no cold outreach, no guesswork.

The result is a streamlined, personal experience built around you. Who you are, where you're headed, and who belongs beside you. We're honored to make that introduction.

How It Works | The Relish Introduction

The Relish approach to matchmaking is straightforward by design. We take the time to understand who you are, where you are headed, and who belongs beside you. That understanding is the foundation of every introduction we make.

To get started, simply reach out to us at info@dorelish.com with a little about yourself and your goals. If we believe we can make a meaningful introduction for you, we will send you details to select your preferred package.

Shortly after registration you will receive a confirmation along with an opportunity to share further details about your background, preferences, and what you are looking for. The more you share, the better we can match.

Our introductions are drawn from a carefully considered pool of professionals. Attendees of our Relish Speed Dating events, fellow matchmaking clients, and Relish Members. Every person you meet has chosen to be here, just as you have. Mutual compatibility is paramount and will guide the timing of your introductions.

As a package holder, you also enjoy complimentary admission to Relish Speed Dating events for the duration of your package. Attending events is a valuable part of the process. It gives our team the opportunity to observe who you connect with naturally, and gives you the chance to meet our broader community of professionals in a relaxed, social setting.

When your introduction is ready, we coordinate everything. Your Date Night details will include the venue, the time, and your date's first name. Nothing more. All communication prior to your Date Night runs entirely through us, keeping the experience clean, discreet, and pressure-free.

Your Date Night has arrived. You will know where to go, when to arrive, and who to look for. The venue is mutually agreed upon through us and can be one of our preferred locations or somewhere of your choosing. Whether it's coffee, drinks, or dinner, the format is entirely up to you.

If the connection is one you'd like to pursue, simply let us know and we will exchange email addresses on your behalf. If you're ready for your next introduction, just say the word.

Frequently Asked Questions | The Relish Introduction

What information is shared with my introduction prior to our Relish Evening? Prior to your Relish Evening, both parties are given only a first name, the venue, and the time of the meeting. Personal information such as email addresses, phone numbers, and last names are never exchanged by us prior to the evening. We encourage our clients to use the same discretion throughout the process.

Do you conduct employment, credit, or financial verification? The safety and comfort of our clients is our primary concern. Every person you meet through Relish is a registered participant in our speed dating, professional events, or matchmaking programs. We do not source individuals from bars, clubs, or unsolicited outreach. Our clients are accomplished, driven professionals at various stages of their journey. We believe in judging people on who they are today and the direction they are headed, not on a number.

Are Relish Speed Dating events included in my package? Yes. All package holders enjoy complimentary admission to Relish Speed Dating events for the duration of their package. Simply let us know when you see an event you'd like to attend and we will add you to the guest list. There is no limit to the number of events you may attend. Attending events is a valuable part of the process and gives our team a natural opportunity to get to know you better.

How are your prices so competitive? We do not need to spend resources recruiting clients. Relish is sought after for the caliber of professional it attracts, which means the right people find us. That efficiency is passed directly on to you.

What happens if I miss a scheduled Relish Evening without notice? No-shows forfeit the remainder of their package. We have a zero tolerance policy for unannounced cancellations out of respect for everyone's time. With advance notice, we are happy to work with you on rescheduling. We understand that life happens and simply ask that all clients extend the same consideration to others.

How do I attend a special or televised event? From time to time Relish is involved in special events and media opportunities. As a package holder, if you are interested in participating simply let us know and we will share details as they become available.

Can a friend join my matchmaking package? While a friend cannot join your individual Relish Evening, two friends are welcome to purchase their own packages and coordinate a shared experience together. Simply let us know and we will handle the details, matching each of you separately and arranging an evening for all four to enjoy.

How do I share my preferences? Following your registration you will receive a confirmation with a series of questions designed to help us understand you and what you are looking for. The more detail you provide, the more precisely we can match. Our team will review everything and get to work.

Do I have to use a venue chosen by Relish? Not at all. You are welcome to suggest any restaurant, bar, or venue you prefer for your Relish Evening. Simply let us know and we will pass the details along to your introduction.

Do my Relish Evenings expire? Your Relish Evenings are yours to use at your own pace. There is no expiration pressure.

What is the age range for matchmaking clients? Our matchmaking clients tend to range from their mid-twenties to mid-forties, though we welcome driven professionals of all ages.

What is your conduct policy? Relish has a zero tolerance policy for rudeness of any kind. Our clients are our community, and we go to considerable lengths to ensure every person you meet reflects the standard you would expect. Those who fall short of that standard are removed from the program. We make no apologies for that and find that our clients appreciate it.

How do I get started? Simply reach out to us at info@dorelish.com with a little about yourself and your goals. If we believe we can make a meaningful introduction for you, we will be in touch with next steps.
