Good Company, Great Chemistry & The Italian Greyhound

Our October Mixer for 20s, 30s & 40s

The best things happen in person. We can spend hours looking at profiles and scrolling through photographs, but there’s so much that simply doesn’t translate onto a screen: someone’s energy, their humour, the way they listen and, of course, that elusive thing called chemistry.

That’s what our October Mixer was all about.

We took our 20s, 30s and 40s crowd to The Italian Greyhound in Marylebone for an autumn evening of meeting new friends and potential partners. People who work hard, have busy lives and would quite like to meet someone properly, rather than spend another evening scrolling.

They say you can tell when a Greyhound loves you by the lean, the soft little noises and the relaxed body language. We certainly spotted plenty of very attractive guests leaning into conversations!

The Italian Greyhound made a rather lovely setting. Stylish without being stuffy, with striking art, excellent cocktails and a welcoming neighbourhood feel. There’s even a little outside terrace for anyone needing a gulp of autumn air before heading back into the party.

A little help getting the conversations started

Rather than simply leaving everyone to navigate the room, we introduced a series of tables of four, led by our lovely friend Jaspal. Guests had a few minutes to chat before the gentlemen moved along to meet the next group.

It wasn’t speed dating, just a little structure to help people meet more faces, find some common ground and get beyond the initial hello. Sometimes a little nudge is all that’s needed.

And it worked. Once everyone had met a few more people, conversations flowed and guests began mixing across the room.

A special mention to Hanna and the team at The Italian Greyhound. Nothing was too much trouble, and their hospitality made the evening all the more enjoyable.

At Rendezvous, we love creating the conditions for connections to happen naturally. Sometimes it’s over a drink, sometimes around a dinner table, and sometimes with a little help from a few introductions along the way.

You never quite know who you’ll meet, what you’ll discover or where a conversation might lead.

Until the next one.
