Couples Get Together: A Night to Connect and Grow Friendships

Couples Get Together Event Series

Life gets busy, and it's easy to cocoon up with your partner. But couples need friends too! Let's help you connect with other couples and grow your social circle.

Friday night, but make it friendship.

You know that feeling when you meet another couple and just click? When the conversation flows, the laughs come easy, and you're already planning the next hangout before the night ends

That's what we're creating this Friday at Couples Get Together.

This isn't speed dating for couples or some forced networking thing. It's a warm, welcoming space where couples who want more meaningful friendships can actually find them — with a little structure to skip past the "so... what do you do?" small talk and get to the good stuff.

Here's what happens: You'll meet other couples who, like you, are craving real connection. We'll guide the evening with conversation prompts and activities designed to help you discover who you genuinely vibe with — no awkwardness, no pressure. Just good people, good vibes, and the kind of conversations that make you lose track of time.

Plus, you'll be at Alley 51 — a lively Asian food hall in Pineville with amazing eats and drinks, so you can grab whatever sounds good and settle in.

The details:

• When: Friday, December 12 | 6:30 – 8:30 PM

• Where: OMB Ballantyne

• Who: Couples of all ages looking to expand their social circle

• What to bring: Just yourselves and an open heart

One small thing: We ask each couple to fill out a quick 3-question form about your friendship preferences — it helps us create better connections and makes the night even more meaningful.

Why this works: We've been bringing people together through our friend-matching events for a while now, and we've seen firsthand how powerful it is when people find their people. Now we're doing it for couples — because the best friendships are the ones you can share with your partner.

Spots are limited to keep the vibe intimate and intentional. Grab your tickets now, and get ready to meet the couples who might just become your new favorite people.

Save your spot now!

Come as you are. Leave with plans for next weekend.
