How it works

A plan, a few verified people, and a place to be at seven.

Every Valentree event is capped at five people, and each of them chose to join — the person who created it too, if they are going. Small enough that nobody is left on the edge of the conversation, and clear enough that you know what you are walking into.

01 Everyone

Create or discover a plan

Any verified member can post the time, the neighborhood, the group size, and what the evening is actually for. Everyone browses plans that are specific enough to say yes to — no endless swiping, no vague "let's hang sometime".

Example plan Saturday market walk
Sat 9:30 AM · 90 minutes Ballard, Seattle · meet at the north entrance 4 spots · coffee after, optional
02 Joining

Join

Tap Join while a spot is open — there is nothing to send and nobody to approve it. Creating a plan doesn't put its creator in the group either; they join like anyone else. Once you join, the event chat opens and the exact address is shared with you.

Joining stays open until the event starts

You see who else is going once you join; some people choose to be shown before

Group chat is for the people who joined

03 Everyone

Meet and build trust

Show up, keep the plan, and rate the experience afterward.

Why five

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 everyone at the table a real reason to be there.

It is also small enough to be practical: one booking, one table, and everyone knows everyone's name by the end.
