Holiday Break

DishCourse is officially on holiday break. Thank you for an amazing year. We are taking a little time to rest, reset, and get everything ready for a fresh start. We cannot wait to welcome you back in the new year.

​

Sneak Peek of New Events

We have already planned our lineup of upcoming events, and it is full of new, exciting ways to make new friends here in Charlotte.

​

What's coming in January:

  • Cake and Kudos: Celebrating Accomplishments: Part celebration, part intention setting, we'll share our accomplishments of 2025 and share what we hope to accomplish in 2026

  • Vision Board Night: A creative reset with good conversation and a little glue stick therapy

  • Goal Setting Craft Night: A crafty, low pressure night where we set goals and make cute goal punch cards together

  • DishCourse Open House: A casual, come as you are event with cocktail tables set up by theme and interest, so you can float table to table and meet people who are in a similar season of life

 

We’re Changing Things Up in 2026

Dinners are not going anywhere, but DishCourse is expanding beyond the classic dinner party. This coming year is all about more fun, unique ways to connect with light activities and guided prompts that make it easy to meet people without it feeling forced.

Hi, I'm Heather!

I moved from Milwaukee, Wisconsin to Charlotte, North Carolina in 2018. I was 25 years old, newly single, and as an adult, I had no idea how to make new friends. After some time (and trying everything) I found my community, but I wished there was an easier way to meet like-minded people in an intimate setting.

 

That's when I thought of DishCourse. My goal is to grow the social wealth of everyone in Charlotte by inviting you to join us at a table of 6 strangers for dinner, brunch, or drinks.

How DishCourse Works

We host dinner parties for strangers. DishCourse offers a wide selection of events, all based on common threads. Each event is professionally hosted, so you are guided through the experience from start to finish. Ready to join us at the table?
