Speed Dating Long Island Format and Protocols for Safety
Event Format (slightly different from our pre-covid in person speed dating events)
(Proof of full vaccination or negative covid test required- See full safety protocols below)
(You must bring something to sit on to the event. If it rains, we will rescheudle the event).
Just like with regular speed dating, you will be paired up with participants of the opposite gender for a specified amount of time (e.g. 5 minutes).
At the end of the round, it is up to participants to take notes about the people that they met. You can either bring your own pen and paper to write on OR take notes on your phone. We will NOT be providing pens or paper at the event.
Guys will then rotate stations, bringing their chairs or whatever else they brought to sit on, with them to the next date.
Participants will be able to email the host after the event with the names of anyone they would be interested in keeping in touch with and match results will be sent the next day. We will provide both mutual matches and one way matches.
No Alcohol is permitted at the park and this rule will be enforced for our event.
SAFETY PROTOCOLS
We take safety very seriously and the following protocols are being implemented.
ENTRY
In order to enter the event, guests will be responsible for obtaining and displaying proof of one of the following:
Full vaccination, which means 2 doses of either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine or one dose of the Johnson and Johnson vaccine. These doses must be received at least 14 days prior to the day of the event.
A negative test result from a PCR COVID-19 test taken within 72 hours of the day of the event.
A negative test result from a COVID-19 Antigen test taken within six (6) hours of the events scheduled start time (i.e. 12:00 p.m. for a 6:00 p.m. event).
If you show up without these, you will not be permitted to participate in the event.
Many places may either do the test for free or take insurance.
FACE MASKS
Masks must be worn at all times except if you are eating or drinking at your seats. Both your nose and mouth must be covered.
Gaiters, bandanas and face coverings with an exhalation valve are not permitted.
