Why verification exists

At this level of curation, the room is everything. Our verification process ensures every guest is aligned with the evening’s standard, maintaining a balanced, high-quality environment for all.

Quality: discourages low-intent attendance and protects the atmosphere.
Balance: ensures a strict ratio of 50 Ladies and 50 Gentlemen.
Discretion: ensures the Connection Gallery remains an exclusive, private space for verified attendees only.

FAQ

Is the Connection Gallery private?

Yes. The Connection Gallery is only viewable by guests who attended the Matchmaking Night. Access remains open for 14 days.

What does “verification” mean?

To protect the quality and discretion of the evening, all reservations undergo verification. This includes a secure identity check via Persona. If a reservation is not finalised, a full refund is guaranteed.

What is the Curation Profile and how is it used?

A brief pre‑event questionnaire using weighted 1–10 scales across foundations and lifestyle (e.g., faith alignment, family vision, ambition, social energy). We use it solely to seat you at the right tables during the hosted rotations. Sharing a social profile is optional for privacy.

Can you cater to dietary requirements?

Yes—common dietary requirements and allergies can be accommodated with notice. You’ll be able to provide details during purchase.

What is the dress code?

Black Tie Optional. Think elegant cocktail attire through to tuxedos and formal gowns—aim for polished and elevated.

What if I’m outside the suggested age range (25-49)?

Our age range is a strong guideline to keep the cohort balanced, not a hard cutoff. If you feel aligned with the experience and community we curate, please apply—exceptions are made for the right person. We review holistically and may prioritise those closest to the range.

What is the registration for the evening?

The all-inclusive registration for THE 100 is $400. This covers the gourmet three-course dinner, a premium open bar for the duration of the evening, identity verification via Persona, and 14-day access to the private Connection Gallery. We provide a fully hosted, seamless experience so you can focus entirely on meeting the right people.

Refunds / transfers

Reservations are non-refundable within 14 days of the event. However, if your application is not fulfilled due to capacity or balance, a 100% refund is issued automatically within 3–5 business days.
