A plan, a few verified people, and a place to be at seven.
Every Valentree event is capped at five: one host and up to four guests. Small enough that nobody is left on the edge of the conversation, and clear enough that you know what you are walking into.
Create or discover a plan
Hosts post the time, the neighborhood, the group size, and what the evening is actually for. Guests browse plans that are specific enough to say yes to — no endless swiping, no vague "let's hang sometime".
Request to join
Send a short request with a line about yourself. The host approves the final group — they are building a table, not filling seats. Once you are confirmed, the event chat opens and the exact address is shared with the group.
Requests expire 24 hours before the event
You will always see who else is confirmed
No group chat before approval
Meet and build trust
Show up, keep the plan, and rate the experience afterward. Reliability travels with you: hosts can see whether people arrive when they say they will, and repeat no-shows lose access to plans.

Report anything that felt off
Five is the largest group that still has one conversation.
Above five, a table splits into two conversations and someone ends up out of it. Below three, one cancellation ends the evening. Five gives a host room to plan and every guest a real reason to be there.
It is also small enough to be practical: one booking, one table, one host who knows everyone's name by the end.
