What we’re about
Welcome to Mixers & Minglers Western & NW Suburbs!
Ready to make new friends and have some fun?
We're a warm, welcoming community of adults primarily in their 40s-60s who love getting out, trying new things, and building genuine friendships! Whether you're single, married, new to the area, or just looking to expand your social circle, you'll find your place here.
What We Love to Do Together Our members enjoy an amazing variety of activities! From happy hours and wine tastings to comedy shows and live music, we keep things exciting. You'll find us at trivia nights, bowling alleys, golf courses, and paint-and-sip studios. We love our Sunday Fundays, Bears viewing parties, and seasonal adventures like water tubing in summer and cozy brunches in winter. Plus, we organize special outings to Cubs games, Ravinia concerts, and even pontoon trips to Wisconsin!
Where You'll Find Us Most of our events take place within the Rosemont, Geneva/Elgin, Schaumburg, Naperville, and Oak Brook area, with occasional adventures to downtown Chicago, Wisconsin, and the northern suburbs for those special experiences.
Our Community Values We're built on friendship, kindness, and respect. To keep everyone safe and ensure great experiences for all:
- Safety First: Members connect only after meeting in person at our events - this isn't a dating app, and we take everyone's comfort seriously
- Be Reliable: Please update your RSVP if plans change, as venues often require headcounts and deposits
- Respect Our Hosts: Many locations accommodate us with separate checks - let's show appreciation for their extra effort
- Keep It Social: We're here for friendship and fun, not business networking
Getting Started is Easy! To join us, you'll need a clear, recent photo so we can spot you at events, and please use your real first name. Feeling nervous about your first event? Just let the host know - we'll make sure you feel extra welcome!
First Time Jitters? We've Got You! We know walking into your first meetup can feel intimidating, but our members are genuinely friendly and always happy to include newcomers. Many of our closest friendships started with someone taking that brave first step to join us.
Ready to start your adventure with some amazing new friends? We can't wait to meet you!
