Phone check and a real profile. Hosts are reviewed before their first plan goes live.
For hosts
Host the kind of gathering you wish existed.
You set the plan, describe the tone, and approve every guest. Four people, one evening, no production required — a walk, a table, a board game, a market trip.
What a host decides
The plan and the hour
The neighborhood and the place
The tone — quiet, chatty, walking, seated
Group size, up to four guests
Who gets a seat
Four steps from idea to Saturday.
Post the plan
Time, neighborhood, group size, and one honest line about what the evening is for.
Approve the group
Read requests, pick the four, and the event chat opens with the exact address.
Show up and host
Arrive first, make the introductions, keep the plan you posted. That is the whole job.
Host standards
What we ask of every host.
Hosting on Valentree is a small commitment taken seriously. Break these and you lose hosting access.
Keep the plan you posted, or cancel early enough to matter
Public places for first gatherings
Share the exact address only with confirmed guests
No selling, recruiting, or pitching at your table
Treat a declined request like a decline — no follow-up messages
Plans that work
The best first plans are cheap, short, and specific.
Ninety minutes, somewhere public, nothing that needs booking. If it works, host it again next month — regulars are how a small table becomes a small circle.
Coffee walk
Board-game table
Farmers market trip
Gallery afternoon
Picnic in the park
Bakery breakfast
