Rainbow Connections: Charlotte's Compatibility-Based Event for LGBTQ+ Singles

Saturday November 15 at 6:30pm - Check-in starts at 6:00pm

Hi-Wire Brewery

340 W Tremont Ave Suite 140, Charlotte, NC 28203

Refund Policy

Refunds up to 3 days before event - booking fees (Tixtree & Stripe) are non-refundable

IMPORTANT: Don’t skip the Compatibility Questionnaire when you grab your ticket

Vibe: Chill. No swiping. No awkward pressure. Just real people, real conversations, and maybe… real sparks?

Sick of wasting time on dating apps, tired of ghosting, dead-end IMs, and profiles that don’t match the energy IRL? Same. That’s why we created this event—to bring singles together in person for something a little more human and a lot more fun.

This isn’t a cattle call of small talk. It's a curated experience designed to help you connect quickly and meaningfully

What to expect:
  • Group placement tailored to key compatibility factors

  • The vibe is relaxed lounge, not speed-date panic room

  • You’ll mix and mingle through playful ice-breakers and conversation prompts that accelerate the "getting to know you" process

  • Fun games + a round of human bingo (trust us, it’s a hit)

  • Discount codes for future events (because your journey might take more than one night!)

Come solo, leave with new connections—friends, flirts, maybe even future +1s. This isn’t about putting on a show. Just bring your real self, an open mind, and maybe a cute outfit.

Limited spots available. Event runs 1 hour and 30 Ticket sales close 1 hours before we start. Must fill out the Compatibility Questionnaire

Co-hosted by Fernanda & Julian (proud member of LGBTQ+ community)

What past participants are saying about our singles events:

"I like the concept. The games made it easier to have conversations. It was a creative, inexpensive way to spend a Friday night and meet new people."

"I definitely appreciate your non-app, non-speed dating style of helping to break the ice among strangers."

Event Guidelines
  • Be on time – This is a connection experience, and we kick things off as a group

  • Be present – Your phone can wait

  • Be kind, always – Not feeling a spark? No biggie. Just be gracious

  • Dress to express – Look nice, feel nice. This isn’t a black-tie gala, but have your outfit say, “I made an effort"

  • Get curious – Ask creative questions, share your story, and really listen. You might be surprised what you learn

  • Have your intro game ready – Think about what you’d want someone to remember about you

  • Relax and have fun – Everyone’s here for the same reason: connection

Safety
  • Speak up – If someone says or does something off, let a host know.

  • No tolerance for offensive or inappropriate behavior

  • Don’t push for digits – If you want to stay in touch, offer your number. Let them decide if the feeling’s mutual. Consent is hot.

  4. Is this like speed-dating? No. This event is meant to be different from speed-dating. There are not frequent rotations, but we do encourage participants to move to another group if they want to, so they can meet more people. The groups get to know each other in a casual setup as they tackle activities and conversation prompts

  5. What if I'm not the age described in the event? We're planning on hosting other events in the future for different age ranges. Express your interest by clicking on "Notify me" above. In the meantime, please check out our friend-matching events.

  6. How is the compatibility matching done for these events? It's not an app, it's not a software. It's me, Fernanda, analyzing your responses on my nerdy spreadsheet. :) I use those answers to place people in the same groups based on their money attitudes, parenting, religion, and deal breakers among other factors.
