Summer is in full swing, and it’s the perfect time to refresh your social circle! Whether you’re looking to expand your professional network, find a new beach buddy, or spark a summer romance, the Pop, Fizz & Speed Mingle at Mere Bulles is where it all happens.
Skip the awkward small talk and endless swiping. We’re bringing back the art of real, face-to-face conversation in a fun, high-energy environment—complete with the elegant backdrop of Brentwood’s favorite historic estate.
How It Works:
- The Clock is Ticking: You’ll engage in dynamic, fast-paced 10 to 15-minute connections with other local singles and professionals.
- Skip the “What do you do?”: We’re using the 52+2 Conversation Starter Card Game to skip the boring stuff and dive straight into fun, meaningful, and hilarious talking points.
- You Call the Shots: At the end of each connection, you get to decide exactly how you want to stay in touch. No pressure, no awkwardness—just pure chemistry control.
4 Ways to Connect:
You aren’t locked into just one vibe. For every person you meet, you can choose one (or more!) of four connection paths:
- Networking: Build your professional circle and collaborate with local talent.
- Friendship: Find your next trivia partner, gym buddy, or happy hour friend.
- Casual Fun: Keep it light, low-stakes, and see where the summer takes you.
- A Date: Spark some chemistry and plan a proper one-on-one night out.
Grab your ticket, grab a glass of something bubbly, and get ready to make some real connections this summer! Space is limited to ensure equal mixing, so don’t wait.
Please note that the Speed Mingle is an IRL social networking event, not a traditional Speed Dating function. Our mission is to foster connections of all kinds—whether you are seeking new friendships, professional mentorship, business partnerships, or romantic sparks. We take pride in hosting a diverse, inclusive space that welcomes individuals of all genders, ages, and backgrounds.
Privacy Matters: Unlike Speed Dating events, we never share your personal information without your consent. After the event, choose how you want to connect with people and send them a message through the Speed Mingle web app.
What to Expect: Sophistication Meets Low-Pressure Fun
We’ve completely overhauled the stiff, awkward structure of traditional speed dating. Our “Speed Mingle” is designed to feel like a relaxed, sophisticated social gathering, eliminating the pressure of high-stakes interviews and the need for the “perfect line.”
- Innovative Icebreaker: Awkward silences are eliminated thanks to our unique conversation catalyst: 52+2: The Card Game. This social tool bypasses superficial small talk, jumping straight into fun, meaningful, and thought-provoking questions that reveal a person’s authentic personality, passions, and perspective.
- Structured Mini-Connections: You will rotate through a series of timed mini-dates, ensuring you meet a diverse group of people in a clear, organized format.
- Exceptional Refreshments: Savor the renowned selection of craft beers, boutique wines, and small-plate pairings while you mingle.
- Open-Ended Connection: Whether you are looking for a romantic partner, new friends, or professional allies, this event supports all possibilities for genuine connection.
