HOSTING:
GUYS WILL BE HOSTING and are asked to prepare a 3-course meal.
GIRLS WILL BE GUESTS and are asked to bring the wine for dinner.
TICKETS:
The ticket price ($80 plus booking fee pp) covers:
- Matchmaking
- HOST/GUESTS logistics
- Travel between courses for GUESTS
- Travel to and entry into the VIP after party for all participants
Note: Ticket sales close 10 days prior to event!
HOW IT WORKS FOR HOSTING GROUPS (GUYS):
Step 1 - Gather a group of 4 Guy friends and choose one of your houses to host.
Step 2 - On the evening, prepare a 3 course meal at the chosen house. A different group of girls will arrive for each course. Your first group of guests will supply the alcohol for the dinner party.
Step 3 - Once dessert is finished all head to an exclusive after party to reconnect with everyone you met at your dinner party plus all the other Soirée groups from all the other dinner parties happening concurrently.
HOW IT WORKS FOR GUEST GROUPS (GIRLS):
Step 1 - Gather a group of 4 Girl friends.
Step 2 - Think of an ice breaker game that you can play during your first course. Hmm....
Step 3 - On the evening you will need to provide the alcohol (see drink recommendations below) and coordinate your own travel between 3 HOST locations for Starter, Main and Dessert (see the travel section below).
Step 4 - Once dessert is done all head to an exclusive after party to reconnect with everyone you met at your dinner party plus all the other Soirée groups from all the other dinner parties happening concurrently.
MATCHMAKING:
The criteria for our matchmaking is based on a number of factors including age, profession, location, Facebook profiles and nationality. All of which you can enter when you book in.
HOSTING LOCATIONS:
Due to the fact that we need to get GUESTS to and from HOSTS within a set time-frame, the hosting locations are obviously very important. We request that the HOST HOUSES be based in or close to the following locations: CBD, Eastern Suburbs, Inner West, North Sydney, Mosman and Manly.
SELECTION POLICY:
Unfortunately, not everyone will be able to take part. We are very much restricted by the number of groups that book in and coupled with the matchmaking criteria, this sometimes means that we can’t approve everyone. Your booking reserves your place in the overall selection process, however, we will notify your group 10 days prior if you have been selected or not, providing a full refund for those that have not been matched this time round.
GUEST DRINK REQUIREMENTS:
GUESTS are asked to bring 12 bottles of wine/bubbles to the first HOST location. We recommend bringing a variety of red, white and sparkling. Please note you will leave them at the first venue.
TRAVEL POLICY:
Sydney Soirée covers the travel between courses for the GUESTS and travel to the after party for all participants. Travel to the first course and travel home is not refundable. All receipts for Uber (or similar rideshare companies) are to be sent through as either JPGs or PDFs in one batch per group with one persons account details. We endeavour to process all refunds within 2 week of the event. Please email receipt within 4 days of the event to getinvolved@sydneysoiree.com.au
OUR VALUES:
Whilst our event appeals mostly to singles (having just had our first Sydney Soirée marriage!), we are not an exclusively singles event. Many people take part to do something different and have a great evening with mates, meeting new people. So, whatever the motive, get the crew together and get involved!
