Your hosts
Gretel Van Lane
I thrive on creating events where people can have fun, make meaningful connections, and feel comfortable coming solo. My mission is to ensure everyone can enjoy relaxed fun and be themselves.
With over 15 years of experience as a facilitator and communications specialist, I have collaborated with purpose-driven organisations to spark engagement around social issues. My expertise lies in fostering connections, nurturing relationships, and bridging communities.
Running singles events has become my latest passion project. I’m dedicated to crafting unique, engaging experiences where singles can mingle in a welcoming atmosphere and ignite genuine connections. Whether it's through intimate dialogues over dinner or relaxed gatherings with conversation cards and games.

As a professional MC, I've hosted events all over Dharawal Land in the last decade - including Enough Said Poetry Slam and the South Coast Writers Festival - and that's because my absolute favourite thing is to facilitate events that are fun, fulfilling and safe for my community.
As a solopoly woman, I'm a huge supporter of finding the joy in dating, and whether you're looking for casual connections or a lifelong lover, I'm here to help you on your romantic endeavours.
FAQs
Is this a speed dating event?
It’s better than speed dating! There will be 4-6 people at each table and you’ll have 15-20min to play a game, or answer a set of conversation cards. There will be 5-7 rounds over the 2 hours, so you’ll meet many people, but probably not everyone - unless you choose to sit at their table for the final round.
What should I expect at the event?
Expect a warm welcome, a relaxed atmosphere, and a series of facilitated activities designed to help you connect with others.
Is there a dress code?
No strict dress code. We recommend wearing something that makes your feel relaxed and confident.
What if I'm shy or nervous?
Our hosts are experienced in creating a supportive environment, and our activities are designed to make everyone feel comfortable. You'll be in good hands!
Where do you run these events?
All our events are run in Wollongong and the surrounding region.

More encouraging words
“There is something special, real and palpable about laughing together, catching the sparkle in another’s eyes and talking with people about things that resonate, that can’t be replicated in the online singles world. The Singles Night was a fun, light-hearted and safe way to meet new people. I highly recommend it.”
“Great way to meet new people that are in the same boat allowing you to become more comfortable. When going out it’s not easy to be able to go up to people. I attend a lot of business networks and it is the same manner in the start can be daunting but having ice breaks games and conversation cards allows to think outside the square plus drinks.”
“In the words of Wayne Gretzky: you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.”
“Take the risk. You never know what might come out of it.”
“Do it.”
“So refreshing to have a new format to meet new people. Consider it an easy icebreaker to get to know new people and at the very least make new friends.”
“Give it a go, it can’t hurt.”
“There is no pressure to be accepted just come and have fun.”
“The singles nights are loads of fun. Everybody starts out a bit nervous but once you realise everyone is in the same boat it gets easier to relax and enjoy.”
“Go, you never know.
Zero pressure, many laughs.”
