In an era dominated by digital dating, Curated Connections offers a one-of-a-kind, non-app-based matchmaking experience.
Its founders, Marlé Venter and Julia Stephen, are reinventing the world of modern dating by facilitating genuine, in-person experiences – and you’re invited to join the movement.
Exclusive membership benefits
Individuals can join Curated Connections’ event community for a one-time fee of R400.
This membership not only avails an R150 discount for each event but also ensures early updates on upcoming events through WhatsApp before public announcements on social media.
A space for real connections
Curated Connections specialises in hosting bespoke singles events in Cape Town and Johannesburg.
These gatherings are designed for like-minded individuals looking for an authentic and organic connection, something that has been overshadowed in the digital age.
The service distinguishes itself by countering the impersonal nature of app-based dating. The digital world often leads to superficial interactions and a lack of genuine human connection.
Common frustrations with dating apps – like endless small talk, ghosting and a pervasive hookup culture – are what Curated Connections aims to eliminate.
Its events provide a safe and authentic environment, encouraging natural interactions among attendees.
Personalised matchmaking beyond the crowds
Curated Connections understands that large gatherings are not everyone’s preference and also offers personalised matchmaking services.
Through a detailed application process, clients are set up on blind dates tailored to their preferences and expectations.
Building relationships in a safe environment
Safety is paramount at Curated Connections. The team conducts thorough checks on all clients and maintains a presence at each event, ensuring a secure environment.
Building lasting relationships with event attendees is a key focus, as is fostering a community where connections can flourish.
The success of Curated Connections lies in its ability to bring back the magic of in-person interactions.
The service has shown that meaningful relationships can be forged without the mediation of a screen, offering hope and a refreshing alternative to those tired of the conventional dating app scene.
