In-Person Bumble Event Draws Fun Loving Singles Looking for Love and Friends

A Lifestyle Story: Santa Monica, CA. Élephante Beach House was hopping during an in-person meet and greet for Bumble users on September 15th. Sarah Yoho, Brooke Docherty, Mandie Meier, Nicole Mattox, and Jennifer Meseck were on hand to enjoy the sunset. Bumble in-person events are just now starting back up after a pandemic hiatus. All events meet local city CDC guidelines. The dating app partnered with a number of local businesses such as Fia, Élephante Beach House, and more to offer members access to curated date spots paired with complimentary food and beverages.

Jeff Nelson, Nathan Green mix and mingle at the event.

Sarah Yoho and Brooke Docherty used the Bumble BFF option designed to help women make new friends.

Sarah Yoho describes her experience with Bumble BFF, “We just moved to LA and we met on Bumble BFF. It’s amazing to find a friend that you really connect to.” Brooke Docherty added, “Bumble is more than a dating app. You can find friends and even make networking connections.”

Randa Nelson, Michelle Santizo, and Dana Lee

Michelle Santizo explains, “I’m trying to make positive connections. I’m open to dating through Bumble. I’d love to find the right guy!” The Bumble philosophy: On Bumble, women make the first move. We’re leveling the playing field and changing the dynamics of dating. We believe relationships should begin with respect and equality.
