At the "Matched Events" (i.e. Dinners, Brunches, Lunches at all locations and Brisbane Picnics), you will fill out a few questions when you book your ticket which will help us match you with a group of friends who share similar interests. You'll sit with your curated group for the first round, and then we will swap halfway through the event so you get to meet another group of people in the second round where you get to choose your own group.

For "Casual Events" (i.e. Games Nights, Op Shop Crawls, House Parties, Wine + Connect, Create + Connect and social fitness events) we will rotate rounds throughout the event so you get to meet lots of different people. This is great if you love the idea of an in-person "vibe check" that gives you more freedom to move around and meet different people.

Book in for your desired event and simply turn up with an open heart and good vibes. We will make you feel so welcome from the get-go, and you know everyone is in the same boat and is there to make friends.

We will give you a fun name tag which will also serve as a conversation starter, and you’ll get to meet your new friends.

If you are at the Communal Dining or Picnic Events, you’ll sit down at your designated spot that has been selected specifically for you so you’re sitting with likeminded people.

At Games Nights you get to choose your own tables and get stuck into the games together!

We have conversation cards at all events to take the pressure off knowing what to talk about, and you can use them however you like! We swap tables throughout the event so you get to meet new people, and there are connection activities throughout to make it easier.

It’s a lot of fun!

Most people come alone - it’s the best way to get yourself out of your comfort zone and to meet new people. You are welcome to bring a friend if you like, though - however we will ask that you don’t sit next to each other so that you don’t unintentionally form a clique and exclude people.

Everyone is in the same boat and is there for the same reason: to make friends. We will make you feel SO welcome and once the initial nerves wear off it will be just like having dinner with old friends.

We have all kinds of amazing people who attend: introverts, extroverts, travellers who are new to the city, people who have lived in the same place their whole life but want to meet new friends, people who are recently single, couples who want to branch out and have more guy/girl friends…. regardless - the common theme is everyone is there because they are committed to making new friends and are kind, welcoming and lovely people!

The main age range for these events is roughly 25-35 years old, however we are now doing nights dedicated to different age brackets. That being said, age is just a number and you may resonate more with an older/younger age group than your actual age! You are more than welcome to come to whichever event you feel most comfortable in, so long as you are within 3 years of the upper or lower bracket.

Generally, I prefer to keep Conscious Connection Dinners low or no alcohol to encourage everyone to connect on a deeper level without the liquid confidence (or the hang-xiety the next day!). That being said, you are welcome to have a few drinks if you prefer. Just note that this is not a boozy event and we do not encourage getting drunk.

Totally understandable that you might feel nervous about meeting strangers! Rest assured, whilst there might be some initial nerves, we will create the most beautiful and welcoming space for you. We start off with introduction questions that help create connection and common ground, and I promise your nerves will wear off soon after!

I love tailoring menus to be inclusive of people with allergies, so don’t hesitate to let me know if you have any dietary requirements. When you book your ticket it will ask you to list any allergies/preferences you may have, or if you have something more complicated or specific just send an email to bookings@ccdinners.com with as much notice so I can happily accommodate you.

The location is listed on each event and we will provide all the details of how to get there via car, train, tram etc to make your life as easy as possible!

Please use the “Cancel Appointment” button in your booking email to cancel your appointment, then email bookings@ccdinners.com to reschedule or organise a refund.

Our Cancellation Policy is different for Matched Events and Casual Events.

MATCHED EVENTS (Communal Dining Dinners/Brunches/Lunches)

Cancellations made more than 72 hours in advance of your appointment can be refunded entirely.

Cancellations made within 48-72 hours of the event can be rescheduled or a credit code will be issued for you to rebook at a later date.

No-shows and cancellations within 48 hours of the event start time cannot be refunded or credited under any circumstances.

Due to the intimate nature of these events, it is important that you give as much notice as possible if you are cancelling. Your absence impacts the whole experience, and people miss out if you don’t show up. We pay the venue for your food and drinks in advance, so we cannot credit or refund your booking if made last minute.

CASUAL EVENTS (Games Nights, Op Shop Crawls, Fitness + Friends, Wine + Connect)

Cancellations made more than 2 days in advance of your appointment can be refunded or credited entirely.

Cancellations made within 24-48 hours of the event can be rescheduled or a credit code will be issued for you to rebook at a later date.

No-shows and cancellations within 24 hours of the event start time cannot be refunded or credited under any circumstances.

A gift certificate is a fantastic way to give someone the gift of connection. It’s not only a thoughtful gift, but you can feel good knowing you’re supporting a small business. The recipient can choose a night that works for them and book at their own leisure. Perfect!
