FAQCommon
Common
questions.
Only if you want to. There are three formats: a soirée with light bites, a home-cooked dinner where you cook what you actually love to cook, or an experience built around something to do together, at your place or a space nearby. You pick.
Doesn't matter. Hosts have run events in 400-square-foot studios and lofts that fit twenty-five. The format and the headcount get matched to your space, not the other way around. We figure it out with you when you apply.
There isn't one. Closer covers the budget. The trade is your space, your time, and the people you bring.
Closer covers the budget. The host runs the event. Members pay an annual platform fee to book, and it includes the trust and safety screening, curation, programming, and the concierge.
Members. Every member passes a trust and safety screening before they can book, and re-verifies each year. Hosts can bring their own friends, who go through the same screening. You won't host or sit with strangers off the street.
