First night
Can I come alone?+
Yes, please do. 80% of our attendees come alone. It's the norm, not the exception, so you won't be the only one walking in on your own.
Is it safe?+
Yes. Every guest books directly, so there are no walk-ins. The ratio is balanced and capped, and a host is there all night. Nothing about your attendance is ever posted publicly.
General
Who attends JSD events?+
Working professionals across Dubai, 21 and up, genuinely looking to meet someone in real life instead of another app match.
What's the age range?+
It varies by event — some nights skew earlier 20s, others are more 30s and up. Every event page lists its exact range so you know what to expect before booking.
Booking
Can I bring a friend?+
Yes — most events have a Duo ticket so you can book together. We still keep the overall ratio equal across the room.
What's the refund policy?+
Full details are on our Refund Policy page. In short: cancellations made with enough notice are refundable; last-minute cancellations and no-shows generally aren't, since spots are limited and held for you.
Matchmaking
How does the pre-matching work?+
After you book, you'll get a short intake covering what you're looking for. We use it to suggest a few singles worth meeting first at the event: a starting point, not a limit.
What if I don't get matched with anyone?+
Pre-matching is a bonus, not the whole event. You're still in a room of equal-ratio, curated singles with a host guiding introductions all night.
Events
What's included in a ticket?+
It depends on the night, and every event page lists it before you book. Your ticket always covers the hosted night itself: check-in, your Connection Deck card, the introductions and a host from start to finish. Food and drinks are listed per event. Some nights include a welcome drink, and dinners are usually a set menu paid at the venue.
What if I don't drink?+
Totally fine. Every event has non-alcoholic options, and nobody will ask why you're not drinking. The focus is meeting someone, not the bar.
