We were in the room first
The kit was born at a party, not in a template shop.
It started in 2007 at an Elevated Events cocktail and fashion show. The singles were pulled from the crowd. The venue asked for it again. Then it became monthly, then Latte Dates in a boutique coffee shoppe in Toledo, Ohio, and Match in Six was born.
The kit ran more than 100 of our own events before it was ever for sale. When it launched, the first order came in within a week. Since then it has shipped from New York to LA and everywhere in between, and on to Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, South America, Europe and Africa.

Questions, answered.
What is speed dating, exactly?
Guests rotate through short one-on-one conversations, usually six minutes each. Everyone marks who they would like to see again. Only mutual matches are shared after the event, so nobody is put on the spot.
Can I run an event myself?
Yes. The Complete Host System includes everything we use: printables, the Match Desk app, a full host guide and marketing playbooks. It is an instant download on Etsy.
Do you host events for companies?
Yes. Speed networking uses the same structure for team building, conferences, intern cohorts and member mixers. See corporate formats.
Will you host our event in person?
Lala hosts select events each year, in Atlanta and on the road. Send your date and we will confirm availability.
