How do MyCheekyDate speed dating events work in Oakland?

Our Oakland events follow our boutique, host-led format. You’ll rotate through a series of 5–7 minute mini-dates with curated local singles, recording your yes, no, and friend preferences on our Smart-Card. After the event, we process mutual yes–yes matches and email you your results within the stated time frame.

Where are MyCheekyDate events held in Oakland?

We currently host Oakland speed dating events at Iron & Oak Restaurant and Bar in Downtown Oakland. Venues are selected for atmosphere, sound level, and overall guest experience so you can actually hear each other and relax into the evening.

How many people will I meet at an Oakland speed dating night?

Numbers vary by date, but each Oakland event is curated to give you a strong run of mini-dates without feeling rushed or overcrowded. We aim for a well-balanced room and adjust rounds and seating on the night to keep things flowing smoothly.

What should I wear to an Oakland speed dating event?

Smart-casual or date-night attire is ideal — think polished but comfortable, whether you’re coming from Uptown, Downtown, or across the bridge. Wear something that feels like your best self and lets you stay relaxed in Oakland’s laid-back, creative vibe.

When will I get my matches after an Oakland event?

Once you’ve submitted your Smart-Card selections, we cross-check for mutual interest and send your matches, typically that night or shortly after. You’ll only be connected with people where there is a mutual yes, and we never share your details with guests you did not select.
