Questions

Good ones, asked often.

How small are the events?+

Between 10 and 14 guests. Small enough to actually meet everyone, big enough to find your people.

How do you balance the room?+

Tickets release in pairs by gender and within a tight age range, so every event keeps a balanced ratio without us hand-picking guests.

I'm 47, is this for me?+

Yes. Ember is built for adults 30 to 50. Each event has a tighter age range posted upfront so you know who you'll meet. We encourage anyone within +/- 2 years of an event's age range to sign up.

What if it feels awkward?+

It won't. Every seat has prompt cards designed by relationship therapists. A host opens the night and keeps the energy easy.
