What's a Kissing Dinner?
A Kissing Dinner is a special event designed for 8-10 people to share delicious food, while also sharing meaningful stories that begin with a kiss. From the romantic and familial, to the social and political- each kissing story offers a chance to connect with fellow dinner guests.
The evening is hosted by Kissing Project's co-founders in partnership with a talented local chef. Together they create a fun, casual and intimate atmosphere where guests who entered the evening as strangers, leave with new friends and new stories of meaningful kisses.
