About us
We host a variety of fun and thoughtfully planned events designed to help singles connect in genuine ways think cozy wine tastings, scenic nature hikes, small group dinner nights, and creative workshops like pottery or cooking classes. These aren’t your typical crowded mixers; instead, we focus on low pressure settings where real conversation can happen and connections can grow naturally.
When someone finds love or hits a meaningful milestone like going on their first date with someone from the group or celebrating a six month anniversary we make it a point to celebrate together. Members often share their stories in the group, and we’ll sometimes organize little surprise get togethers or honor them at an event with a toast, because nothing warms our hearts more than seeing real connections blossom.
Most of our meetups happen on weekends Friday evenings or Saturday afternoons so you can enjoy them without the stress of the weekday grind. We plan events every two to three weeks, giving you plenty of time to rest, reflect, and get excited for the next one, all while keeping the momentum of connection going.
We encourage members to come to at least one event every couple of months to stay engaged and build familiarity with others. You don’t have to be at every gathering, but showing up consistently helps create a sense of trust and community it’s amazing how a familiar face can turn into a lifelong friend or partner over time.
If you’re tired of swiping and ready for real conversations, meaningful chemistry, and the kind of connections that can lead to something lasting, then you’re exactly who we’ve built this for. Velvettide Quite Romance Network is more than just events it’s a community of locals who believe love is worth slowing down for. Come as you are, and let’s create something beautiful together.
