Encounter Dating invites you to a Singles Dinner Party exclusively for ages 38-50 at The Oaks Hotel in Neutral Bay.

Join 20 singles at our Dinner Party in the trendy Alala's Bar at The Oaks Hotel.

Our dinner parties offer a relaxed, friendly and safe environment where you can mingle, connect, and potentially find a special someone. It's like coming over to a friends place for a dinner party, just with better food and where everyone happens to be single.

This is not a speed dating event, however we'll arrange for the men to swap seats once, so that you will sit next to four different people of the opposite sex during the dinner and you can match with everyone after the event using our matching platform.

Important info

* Welcome drink included

* All food will be paid for individually by guests on the night

* Guests will be provided with the booking name for the reservation after purchasing a ticket

Please be aware that places are limited and our events always sell out, so book early to avoid disappointment.
