The blind dating gala.

Ditto New York City March 28, 2026

The idea was theirs. The night was ours.

Ditto is an AI matchmaking platform built to get college students off the apps and into the room. No swiping, no profiles, no endless chat. Users tell an AI their type, and once a week it sends back a single match, made by algorithm and meant to be met in person.

They came to us with a premise: a blind dating gala in New York City, for one hundred couples who had never met. We took that premise and built the evening around it. Strategy, space, production, and operations, from the first idea to the last guest out the door.

The concept

No first texts. Just the reveal.

Two hundred students. One hundred couples. Each pair matched on a relationship-science questionnaire run through Ditto's algorithm, and kept secret until the moment they stepped inside.

We set the night inside a penthouse above the Manhattan skyline. Sunset, champagne and mocktails, and a room engineered so the only thing left to do was meet. No phones to hide behind, no opening line to overthink. You walked in, and your match was already there.

Everything an attendee felt that night, the arrival, the pacing, the reveal, the ease of it, was designed and run by our team. Ditto brought the vision for how their community should meet. We made it a place you could walk into.
