For close-knit groups, alumni circles, and community gatherings that want a properly structured, safely facilitated social experience — without the open registration of a public event. Small groups only. Public venues only. Always facilitated by a verified Stranger Mingle host.
Private Group Events Are for Personal Social Groups — Not Companies or Organisations
Stranger Mingle does not offer corporate team-building, employee engagement, or any event for companies, startups, NGOs, or institutions. Private Group Events are strictly for personal, non-commercial social groups. Events cannot be used for business networking, product promotion, professional lead generation, or romantic matchmaking. These conditions are absolute and governed by our Terms of Service. Bookings made under false premises will be cancelled without refund.
A Private Group Event is a closed, curated gathering designed exclusively for a specific group of people who already have a pre-existing connection — whether that is a shared building, a college batch, a hobby circle, or a long-standing group of friends. Unlike our public events, which are open to any verified member, a private event is accessible only to the people you invite.
The experience is the same as a public Stranger Mingle event in every way that matters: a verified host, a structured format, a safe and inclusive environment, and the same zero-tolerance policy for harassment. What changes is the guest list — which is entirely your own.
Private Group Events are ideal when you want a genuinely well-run social experience for a specific group of people, without managing the logistics yourself — and without the event being open to the general public.
Private bookings are open to personal, non-commercial social groups that align with Stranger Mingle's values. Below are the kinds of groups we work with.
You live 10 feet from your neighbours and still don't know their names. A private Stranger Mingle event for your building or society changes that — one structured evening at a time. We design sessions where residents actually meet each other in a relaxed, facilitated setting.
Example Formats
Your batch is scattered across five cities and the WhatsApp group is the only evidence you were ever friends. A private event brings together whoever is in the same city now — for a real, unhurried afternoon of catching up without the chaos of a large reunion.
Example Formats
A group of friends who want a structured, properly organised social experience without doing all the planning themselves. You bring the people — we bring the format, the facilitation, and the energy that makes a gathering actually feel like an event.
Example Formats
Book clubs that want a single well-organised session. Volunteer circles that want to combine service with genuine bonding. Hobby communities — cycling groups, photography enthusiasts, readers — who want a facilitated gathering rather than a casual meetup.
Example Formats
Every private group event booking comes with the following as standard. There are no stripped-down tiers or upsells.
We design a session format suited to your group size, the nature of your gathering, and the outcome you want. Every private event follows a Stranger Mingle-approved format with structured ice-breakers, facilitated activities, and a clear flow.
Every private event is conducted by a trained, verified Stranger Mingle host. Your group gets the same standard of facilitation and safety oversight as any public Stranger Mingle event — without exception.
Our host conducts a standard safety briefing at the start of every event. Our zero-harassment policy and community guidelines apply fully to private events. These are non-negotiable conditions of every booking.
We help you identify suitable public venues in your city that fit your group size and activity. All private Stranger Mingle events must be held in public, accessible locations — not private residences.
We manage pre-event communication, logistics, and registration for your group members. You do not have to chase RSVPs or manage headcounts — we handle the operational side so you can focus on showing up.
After your event, our team follows up with a short feedback survey and, where appropriate, resources to help your group stay connected independently going forward.
Stranger Mingle's platform policies apply in full to every private event. The following are absolute boundaries — not suggestions — and are enforced without exception.
No corporate team-building or company events
Private Group Events are not available for organisations, companies, startups, or HR departments. We do not conduct corporate team-building, employee engagement, or company social events. Our platform is for personal, non-commercial community building only.
No business networking or lead generation
Private events cannot be used to network professionally, generate leads, promote services, or advance any commercial agenda. Any attempt to use a private event for business purposes will result in immediate cancellation without refund.
No private residences
All Stranger Mingle private group events must take place at public, accessible venues. Homes, private offices, farmhouses, or any non-public space are not permitted under any circumstances.
No romantic or dating facilitation
Private events cannot be framed, positioned, or used as singles meetups, speed dating events, or romantic matchmaking gatherings. Stranger Mingle is a platonic friendship community. This applies to private events in exactly the same way it applies to our public events.
No events for more than 30 participants
Our maximum group size for any single Stranger Mingle event — private or public — is 30 people. This is a quality and safety standard, not a logistical preference. Events above this threshold are not bookable.
No bypassing the verified host requirement
You cannot self-facilitate a private event under the Stranger Mingle name. Every private event must have a verified Stranger Mingle host present for its full duration. If you want to facilitate your own event, apply to become a verified host first.
Bookings found to be in violation of these conditions will be cancelled immediately, without refund, and the booking party may be permanently banned from the platform. Refer to our Terms of Service and Safety Guidelines for the full policy framework.
The process is straightforward. From initial enquiry to your event date, here is exactly what to expect.
Write to us at strangermingleteam@gmail.com with the subject line "Private Group Event Enquiry". Tell us your city, the nature of your group, approximate headcount, preferred dates, and the kind of experience you are looking for.
Our team reviews your enquiry to confirm that your group and event purpose align with our values and policies. We may ask a few clarifying questions. If the event is not a fit for our platform, we will tell you honestly and promptly.
For confirmed enquiries, we propose a session format, suggest suitable public venues in your city, and share pricing and availability. You are under no obligation until you confirm the booking.
Once you approve the format and logistics, a booking confirmation is issued. Payment is required to secure your date. All bookings are subject to our Terms of Service and Refund Policy.
Our team handles member registration, sends event reminders, and ensures your group has everything they need before the day. Your assigned verified host connects with you 48 hours before the event.
Your verified host arrives early, sets up the space, conducts a brief safety briefing, and facilitates the session from start to finish. You show up as a participant — not an organiser. We take care of the rest.
Lead time:We require a minimum of 10 working days between your booking confirmation and the event date to ensure proper host assignment, venue coordination, and participant onboarding. Enquiries with less than 10 days' notice cannot be guaranteed.
Private Group Events are available in cities where Stranger Mingle has verified hosts. Currently, we can facilitate private events in:
Don't see your city? Write to us anyway — we are expanding our verified host network actively and may be able to accommodate your location.
No. Private Group Events are for personal, non-commercial social groups only — not companies, startups, NGOs, or any organisation. We do not provide corporate team-building or employee engagement events. If you are enquiring on behalf of a company or employer, this programme is not available to you.
The minimum is 10 participants and the maximum is 30. Below 10, a private booking is typically not the right format — we would suggest attending one of our public events together instead.
Yes, subject to approval. The venue must be a public, accessible location in your city — a café, park, community space, or similar. Private residences, offices, and closed commercial spaces are not permitted. If you are unsure whether a venue qualifies, share it with us during the enquiry stage and we will confirm.
No. Every private event conducted under the Stranger Mingle name must be facilitated by a trained, verified Stranger Mingle host. This is a non-negotiable quality and safety standard. If you would like to facilitate your own events, you can apply to become a verified host through our host application process.
The same zero-tolerance policy that applies to all Stranger Mingle events applies here. The host has full authority to remove any participant immediately. Depending on the severity, the individual may be permanently banned from the platform. Salty Media Production (opc) Pvt Ltd reserves the right to take further action in accordance with our Terms of Service.
Pricing is determined based on the event format, duration, city, and group size. A detailed proposal with transparent pricing is shared after the initial enquiry review. There are no hidden charges. All fees go towards host facilitation, venue support, and platform operations.
Yes. We offer a range of approved formats including chai circles, board game evenings, heritage walks, casual social meetups, and facilitated conversation sessions. Format availability varies by city. Share your preferences during the enquiry stage and we will design a session that fits.
Private event bookings follow our standard refund terms with some modifications for custom bookings. Full details are provided at the time of booking confirmation. Broadly: cancellations with more than 72 hours notice are eligible for full refund or credit. Cancellations under 72 hours are non-refundable. No-show groups receive no refund.
Write to us with your group's details and we will respond within 48–72 hours. Please include your city, group type, approximate headcount, and any preferred dates or activity formats.
Enquiries that do not meet our eligibility criteria — including corporate bookings, groups exceeding 30 people, or events intended for business or promotional purposes — will not be accepted.
