Earlier this year, something truly special happened.

The First Spark Project was created with one simple goal: to bring people together in a genuine, meaningful way. In a world where dating often feels rushed, overwhelming, or driven by apps, we wanted to create an experience that encouraged real connection, authentic conversation, and a little bit of magic.

The response to the first round of The First Spark Project exceeded every expectation we had. It reminded us that it's never too late to put yourself out there and that meaningful relationships can begin with a single conversation.


This time, we're excited to announce The First Spark Project: Chapter Two.

For this second chapter, we're inviting singles aged 50 and over to join us for an unforgettable afternoon designed to celebrate connection in a beautiful, relaxed setting.


A Perfect FALL Afternoon

On Sunday, October 25, we'll be gathering at the stunning Privato Winery to enjoy everything fall has to offer. Picture yourself surrounded by vineyard views, a charming pumpkin patch, a glass of wine in hand, and the opportunity to meet someone new without any pressure.

The afternoon is being thoughtfully curated in collaboration with Ember & Oak, with Ashlee creating a beautiful picnic experience where conversations can unfold naturally. While everyone is enjoying the afternoon, I'll be documenting the event through photography, capturing the candid moments, genuine smiles, and unforgettable memories that make The First Spark Project so unique.


Who We're Looking For

If you're 50 or older, single, and open to meeting someone new, we'd love to hear from you. Whether you're looking for companionship, friendship, or the possibility of something more, The First Spark Project is about creating an environment where connections might grow.
