How it started
Sparks Social Club is a female-founded, Berlin-based business that emerged from a desire to reimagine the city's ephemeral dating landscape. While Berlin offers a tapestry of cultural and social opportunities, making genuine connections – especially in the fast-paced media, arts and culture scene – can be difficult. So we set out to create an alternative to endless swiping and superficial encounters.
We know that meeting a new potential love interest can feel daunting which is why we focus on the aspect of creativity first, romance second. Through collaborative activities, we connect like-minded individuals in a space that values creativity, authenticity and real interaction, all the while keeping the encounters playful and engaging.
To offer our guests the most memorable experiences, we partner with brands and venues that share our vision for creativity and connection. For our partners, this offers a unique opportunity to engage with a vibrant community of of forward-thinking creatives and cultural catalysts, leaving an impression that last well beyond the events.
