🌺 Partner Up Hawai‘i: 2025 in Review

2025 was the year Partner Up Hawai‘i really found its rhythm. We filled coffee shops, restaurants, and lounges with people willing to put their phones down and meet each other in real life. There were speed dating nights that turned strangers into familiar faces, mixers that felt more like house parties, and pop-ups where folks just came to talk story with our matchmakers and see what we were all about.

From cozy evenings at HiCo Coffee in Kona and Waikoloa, to playful nights in West and South Maui at Choice Health Bar and Tikehau Lounge, to thoughtful gatherings on O‘ahu at spots like Koko Head Cafe and Tradition Coffee Roasters, we got to watch connection happen in so many different ways. Some people came looking for romance, some for new friends, and some just for something different to do on a weeknight. All of it counted.

The best part was seeing the same faces come back, bringing coworkers, roommates, and best friends along for the ride. Every event reminded us that Hawai‘i is full of amazing humans who just need the right room to meet each other.

We are so grateful for everything 2025 brought. Grateful to the venues that opened their doors, to the brave souls who showed up solo, and to the community that turned Partner Up Hawai‘i from an idea into something real.

We got to do some really special things in 2025, and we cannot wait to keep the momentum going in 2026. More events, more islands, more creative ways to connect, and more chances to meet someone who might change your story.

Here is to more hellos, more laughs, and more stories that starts with a decision to come as you are. Whatever you are looking for, a spark, a friendship, or just a fun night out, we hope you will take a chance and join us in 2026.
