We’ve all heard the rumours that Cape Town tends to be a cliquey city. While we can neither confirm nor deny that, we can all agree that meeting new people in the Mother City is not always the easiest task.
But being single and meeting new people in Cape Town (without the use of dating apps) is an entirely different level of tricky. This is where Curated Connections comes in.
If the idea of speed dating makes you squirm but you’re still looking to get out there, try Curated Connections’ enchanting masquerade-themed date night event this June.

So what can you expect? A series of multiple mini-dates with other fun-loving people, a welcoming drink (alcoholic or non-alcoholic), dinner and tonnes of opportunities to strike up conversations and make new friends, new flames (or both) with no pressure.
Geared towards grown-up folk in the 27 to 49 years age bracket, the dress code is masquerade-themed, and guests are required to wear a costume mask.
It’s the ultimate excuse to pop on a costume and bring out your most confident self under the guise of mystery and flair.
‘Who is Curated Connections?’ you might ask. It’s a new social concept that centres around making new meaningful connections by providing a safe and authentic platform for singles to connect with other like-minded singles in real life as opposed to the cyber jungle.
Following a modern approach to dating, Curated Connections was founded by Julia and Marle. A dynamic duo who say they have loads of dating experience and an understanding of the struggles that come with modern dating.
On offer are monthly memberships for matchmaking services and specially curated regular singles events (such as cocktail evenings, quiz nights, picnics, sunset cruises, walks or hikes) held across Cape Town.
Membership is open to anyone over the age of 26. The team maintains a high standard for candidates; therefore, a screening process is in place if you wish to be part of the Curated Connections community.
Events are exclusive, which means that everyone who attends will need to complete their application form and go through the screening process regardless of whether they become members or not.
Members receive a special discount on all event tickets.
