What we are all about
For couples, by couples
While date nights alone with your partner are wonderful, we’re convinced that sharing a table with other couples can transform a simple dinner into a cherished social encounter. The same magic happens when we’re hiking, cooking, or learning a new skill together. It’s all about building deeper bonds with your partner while connecting with others.
Adventure is best shared
New York City and the Hudson Valley brim with unique experiences waiting to be unveiled. While some gems might be elusive solo, together as a group, doors open. We can book that private room, secure exclusive tours, and engage directly with the chefs, artists, and visionaries who make the city pulse.
Real connections
While old friendships are treasures built over time, we believe it’s always the right moment for new connections. Willow Social is not about networking, dating, or breaking into an industry. It’s about genuine interactions and diving into meaningful conversations.
FAQs
How do we become members?
Membership is by invitation only (most common will be for existing members to invite you). However, if you're interested in joining us, you can express your interest here.
Do you have a physical space?
No. The gatherings we organize are all in-person, but they take place at different locations, which could be a restaurant, a gallery, or out in nature.
Are there membership fees?
Not at the moment. In the future, we may introduce membership fees to help us curate top-notch experiences for our members.
Are all events held in NYC?
While many of our gatherings are in NYC, we also host gatherings in the scenic Hudson Valley and occasionally in other unique locations.
Why does Willow Social focus exclusively on couples?
We believe a couples-only environment offers a unique atmosphere for connection and intimacy. In the future, we may change the way we program our offerings and open up for individual memberships and participation.
What if only one of us is able to join a gathering?
If one partner cannot attend we recommend selecting a gathering that works for both of you. Individual attendance exceptions may be considered, but are not guaranteed.
If my partner can not join can I invite someone else?
Some gatherings may allow for a substitute guest, but this is the exception rather than the rule.
Are you trying to attract members from certain industries?
No. We hope to attract people who are curious and open to make new connections with others regardless of their profession.
What's the age range of members?
Our members come from diverse age groups, but all share a common interest in authentic experiences and connections.
How often are gatherings held?
Our goal is to give our members the opportunity to attend at least one gathering every month. We will email/text you or post upcoming gatherings on the site for you to RSVP.
Can we suggest an event or experience?
We welcome suggestions! Feel free to send us your ideas and hopefully, we can make some of them happen.
