Thursday at The Bridge Hotel: Over 30s AI Matching Event 🤖💘

📍 The Bridge Hotel – 642 Bridge Rd, Richmond
📅 Thursday 18th December
🕖 7:00 PM – late
🎯 Ages 30-50

We’re levelling up dating IRL — with a little help from AI.

Join us at The Bridge Hotel, Richmond’s most iconic multi-level bar, for a Thursday night where technology meets real connection. When you arrive, you’ll answer a few quick (and spicy) questions, then our AI does the rest — matching you with people who actually fit your vibe.

Forget endless swiping and small talk. This night is about effortless intros, flirty chemistry, and finding your match across the bar — not across an app.

Expect great drinks, playful energy, and a crowd of Melbourne’s most eligible singles ready to meet face-to-face.

💘 Smart matches. Real people. One unforgettable Thursday.

Matching will be powered by Matchbox.
It’s a software that uses relationship science to find you your most compatible match at the party. It’s also the same technology behind the Marriage Pact, a tradition at 100+ universities that’s matched more than half a million people to date.
How it works:
Upon arrival, you’ll take a matching questionnaire built by Matchbox’s team of relationship scientists and curated by your host. The Matchbox algorithm will identify your optimal match at the party, based on relationship science, AI, and Nobel Prize-winning economics.

After mingling with the whole group, matches are revealed!

MUST ARRIVE BEFORE 8.00pm TO JOIN AI MATCHING

Who it’s for: The matching process is highly intentional come with an open mind!
If your match isn’t love at first sight, that’s okay! The algorithm is designed for long-term compatibility, so at baseline, you’ll be values-aligned. At the end of the day, this will be a great group of single people. Enjoy meeting everyone, and remember to be kind.

First time? We’ve got you.
