Real Estate Broker Arneé Harrison (The Owner Suite Group) teamed up with High-End Matchmaker Kimberly Erinkitola (The Date Better Network) and a host of eligible single men and women in Atlanta for a holiday singles mixer and Christmas party called “Unmatched.” This event took place at the newest black-owned luxury dining experience, Lock & Key by The Beverly in The Interlock on December 14th from 8pm – 12am. Music was provided by DJ Mars (Usher’s Official DJ), and the evening was hosted by some love and relationship reality TV alums like Shatava Lindsey (Ready to Love on OWN/Real Estate Investor), Renaldo “Puff’ Wilson (Queens Court on Peacock/Image Consultant), and Michael Williams (Queens Court on Peacock/Architect).
The “Unmatched” Christmas party was a heartfelt initiative that marked a significant step in Arneé Harrison’s (The Owner Suite Group) mission to rebuild community from the “ground up.” Sponsors included Roxi Perkins Insurance, The Original Loan Rangers, James Green and J. Luxe Candles. The event brought together mature, like-minded professionals in hopes of sparking the real molecular makeup of community – marriages. It created a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere, allowing attendees to form genuine connections. This unique approach aimed not just to entertain but also to set the stage for changing relationship statuses by next year’s holiday season.
The “UnMatched” component of the event included multiple stations to create opportunities for different types of interactions. The (5) stations were the following:
- Lyrically Correct – At this station male and female singles were asked to finish classic song lyrics to get to know each other’s musical palettes and tastes. ie: Would you be a great person to bring along to a concert to see my favorite artist.
- Wine Tasting featuring HER Wines – Wine tastings are a great 1st date idea; we made it a station at the event featuring the delicious wines sponsored by breast cancer survivor Nicole Anderson and the exclusive portfolio of HER Wines.
- Yes or No Game – At this station male and female singles stood up in a line and were prompted to cross over a rope via the word “Yes” or “No.” This game was designed to identify the great listeners and the ones who will quickly jump to conclusions.
- Whiskey Tasting featuring Greenwood Whiskey – Similar to the wine tasting, at this station singles were educated on whiskey and guided through a tasting experience from the black-owned whiskey inspired by the legendary Greenwood Street from Tulsa’s Black Wall Street.
- The Date Better Network – At this station, male and female singles sat down with high-end matchmaker Kimberly Erinkitola and were guided through a conversation designed to share and learn via conversation what an ideal partner is and for her to identify ideal partners throughout the small groups.
Partial proceeds from the event benefited Solomon’s Temple Foundation, this organization is a 130-residential-unit facility for homeless women and their children. The amenities include a playground, basketball court, gazebo and walking trails designed to offer families in transition a peaceful setting to find stability. The core programs at Solomon’s Temple are designed to guide homeless families toward lives of independence. This organization is near and dear to Arneé Harrison and The Owner Suite Group family.
