At Flare, we understand how difficult and stressful dating can be. Our events are designed to remove the tension and make dating easier with fun activities and icebreakers.
Our events are designed for people who are swipe fatigued and tired of the games. Our attendees are serious about dating. Our daters have a sense of adventure and are searching for a bold new way to meet other singles in their area—while also having a good time.
Right now we currently run events in Toronto, Ottawa, Montréal, Québec City, Winnipeg, Calgary, Edmonton, and Vancouver. We hope to one day be able to run events in every major Canadian city.
Vetting is not something we practice as we strongly believe everyone deserves an opportunity. Our events are run in inclusive safe spaces with a zero tolerance for any negative behavior.
We have zero tolerance for any behavior that is upsetting or discomforting to our daters or staff. If you experience troubling behavior from a fellow dater, please notify the event host so they can deal with the situation accordingly.
Should an event need to be postponed or rescheduled as a result of circumstances beyond our control (such as inclement weather, a quick succession of last minute cancellations, etc) a new event date will be put in place and your ticket will automatically be transferred over.
Should you be unavailable on the new event date we will be more than happy to transfer your ticket to another date or keep your ticket on file for another event at a later date. There are no refunds.
We do our very best to make it clear beforehand that we are unable to offer full refunds on tickets once they are purchased. If you are no longer able to attend an event we can transfer the ticket to another date or keep it on file for the future, however we require at least 48 hour notice. Any requests made after the 48 hour mark we will not be able to accommodate.
If you need to cancel or reschedule, you can reach out to our team via email.
Speed Dating Events
Our events are designed to cut the tension and stress dating brings, and make dating fun! Each of our events has a unique ice breaker portion and activity, something that only Flare events offers.
Activity events are something entirely unique to Flare events. Where most speed dating events just focus on the mixing & mingling and then the actual speed dating, these special events offer an actual hands on activity to warm you up and break the ice with your fellow daters.
It’s simple! Check out the events listed on our website’s Event page, social media, or on our Eventbrite page. Find a date and location that works for you and purchase a ticket. You will receive a confirmation email with all the information you need. Happy dating!
We certainly wish we could host events with unlimited singles, however, every event has a limited number of seats available to ensure the best experience for everyone in attendance. If you wish to be added to a waitlist for an event, please email us for a spot on our waitlist. Our team is here to accommodate.
While we can’t guarantee you’ll get a match, we can promise that you’re always welcome to come to another one of our events! In the event you don’t receive a match, we send a discount code so you can come back and meet a whole new pool of daters!
Our events are designed so people can meet within their respective age groups, but we have a leeway of 2 years above and below the mentioned age range. For anything beyond that we ask you to consider attending another event. If you don’t see an age range that is suitable for you, please check back or let us know.
While we do our very best to ensure an exactly even number, last minute ticket purchases, cancellations, and no shows are beyond our control which can result in slightly off balanced ratios.
When it happens, it simply means that either the men or women have brief moment to take a breather during the event. This is the perfect opportunity to grab another drink, visit the bathroom or prepare some talking points for the next date.
Mixers General Questions
Our mixers cater to individuals who are seeking genuine connections beyond swiping and casual encounters. Attendees are those with a sincere interest in expanding their social circle and finding potential partners. These events attract adventurous spirits who are looking for an exciting and fresh way to connect with other local singles while having a blast.
Our inclusive philosophy drives us to welcome all individuals, embracing the diversity of backgrounds and personalities. We foster a safe and accepting environment with zero tolerance for negative behavior.
We uphold a standard of respectful and enjoyable interactions. Should you encounter behavior that contradicts this standard, please promptly inform the event host. We prioritize the comfort and well-being of all attendees and will address any issues appropriately.
If unforeseen circumstances necessitate rescheduling a mixer—due to factors like inclement weather or unexpected cancellations—a new date will be arranged. Your ticket will automatically be transferred to the rescheduled event. If the new date is inconvenient, we offer the flexibility to transfer your ticket to another event or hold it for a future gathering. Refunds are not provided in such cases.
While we understand plans can change, please note that tickets are non-refundable once purchased. If you need to cancel, we can transfer your ticket to a different event date or retain it for a future occasion. To accommodate this, we require at least 48 hours’ notice. Feel free to reach out to our team via email for assistance.
Mixers Events
Speed dating involves participants rotating through a series of brief one-on-one conversations with fellow daters, providing a quick way to interact. On the other hand, a Flare Mixer offers a more relaxed atmosphere where individuals can mingle and socialize in a less structured environment.
Securing your spot is a breeze. Simply visit our Event page on the website, follow us on social media, or browse through our Eventbrite listings to discover an event and location that aligns with your preferences. Upon purchasing a ticket, a confirmation email will be sent to you, containing all the necessary details. Prepare to embark on an exciting dating adventure!
To ensure balanced gender ratios and streamline the check-in process, we regret to inform you that we will not be able to accommodate walk-in registrations at the door. However, unless the event is already sold out, tickets can be purchased up until the final hour before the event starts.
Our mixers offer greater flexibility and encompass a wider age range compared to our speed dating events. If you believe the mixer aligns with your current life stage, you are more than welcome to join. However, if your age falls beyond the specified range and you feel that you are not in the same life stage, we suggest considering participation in a different event. If you are unable to find an appropriate age range, please stay tuned for updates or kindly inform us of your preferences.
Our goal is to achieve a balanced gender ratio at our events. However, please note that last-minute changes can impact the final ratio. To help us maintain this balance, we offer a limited number of tickets for each gender, which will be sold out once the maximum capacity is reached. We encourage you to purchase your ticket early to secure your spot.
