For Venues · NJ First Dates

Bring a lively crowd through your doors.

Own or manage a bar, lounge, or restaurant in New Jersey? Partner with NJ First Dates to host fun, well-run speed dating events and singles mixers that fill your room with good energy.

Why partner with us

A natural fit for a great local spot.

NJ First Dates brings New Jersey singles together in person for speed dating and singles events all across the Garden State. We’re always looking for welcoming, well-located venues to host them — places with a warm, easygoing atmosphere where conversation comes naturally.

Hosting is simple and low-effort on your end. We handle the sign-ups, the guest list, and running the event; you provide the space and a friendly bar or table service. It’s a great way to bring new faces through your doors on a quieter night and turn first-time visitors into regulars.

What makes a great venue

We look for spots that feel comfortable and safe, with room for guests to chat and mingle. Ideal partners tend to have:

  • A relaxed lounge, bar, or restaurant setting
  • Space for a comfortable speed dating layout or mixer
  • A convenient New Jersey location with nearby parking or transit
  • Friendly staff and a good bar or drinks menu

How it works

Once we connect, we’ll talk through your space, your typical crowd, and the nights that work best for you. We promote each event through our channels, manage every registration, and send a host to run the evening — so you can simply enjoy the extra business.
