Most singles today are familiar with online dating fatigue – that all-too-common feeling of being overwhelmed with choice, but devoid of real connection. Luckily, Vancouver's Andrea Hill is working to combat this – plus find loving partners for her clients – with The Dinner Party, her company connecting groups of singles over a delicious meal in a fabulous local restaurant.
Founded on Valentine’s Day in 2015, The Dinner Party has already resulted in one marriage and one baby. “My company made a baby! I was so thrilled, that’s more than I could ever ask for,” says Andrea, who founded The Dinner Party, in part, in response to complaints from friends about their dating lives. “I knew I could help,” she says.
She certainly could. A former fashion publicist, and now dating mentor and love coach, Andrea has always been fascinated by relationships. While working in New York City for prestigious outlets including a PR firm that represented New York Fashion Week, she wrote a popular blog about dating and relationship dynamics. She counselled friends, led professional workshops in communication and researched and studied romance in her spare time. “The Dinner Party felt like a natural step in my career,” she says.
