So you want to explore the lifestyle, or an open relationship with someone you consider your peer. Someone who shares your education level and interests. Perhaps you also want them to share your appreciation for fitness, fine dining, wines on allotment, or a hotel concierge who is a member of Les Clefs dOr. And maybe, just maybe, you’d like them to be, attractive enough to at least look good in black-and-white photos. Face it, youre not picky. You are just self aware.
The Group is exclusively for professional couples and singles who are equally as selective. Who want to gather and enjoy the best a city has to offer, not just some random, anonymous, hook-up in a dark room.
Members of The Group demand quality over quantity in all things (and people). Sound like you?
I've been to multiple dinners from Dallas to West Palm and each dinner was as good or better than the last because we ran into people we met in prior dinners and had a fantastic time! If you haven't been to a dinner I/we suggest you do so, you won't regret it.

Customer service needs to be improved
We attended one of the "just for dinner" events hosted by this group and overall had a mixed experience.
On the positive side, the concept is wonderful. The intimate group setting with other couples made for an enjoyable evening, and the company was decent. The organizers also seem to put thought into curating the experience, which is what initially drew us in. Unfortunately, the particular restaurant chosen for our dinner did not live up to the price point. The food and overall dining experience felt underwhelming and did not match the expectations set by the group’s branding and some of the other restaurant selections we had been told about. Definitely nowhere close to award winning or Michelin level. It may simply have been an unlucky choice on this occasion though.
The more disappointing part was what happened afterward. After spending the evening getting to know everyone and expressing interest in continuing with the group, our follow-up inquiries about joining future events were met with complete silence. We were totally ghosted despite multiple messages, texts, and emails being sent as follow-up. We understand that not every couple may be the right fit for every group, and that is obviously in the owner's control. However, a simple response or courteous update would have been appreciated, especially after the time, money, and energy invested in attending the event.
Overall, the evening itself was somewhat pleasant because of the people, but the lack of communication afterward left a poor impression. Something to keep in mind for anyone considering spending a significant amount of energy and money on one of these dinners.

Thank you for sharing your perspective. The dinner you are referring to took place in November 2024, and we appreciate your having joined us at that time.
We are glad you found value in the concept and enjoyed aspects of the evening. Just For Dinner was never presented as a guarantee of future invitations or continued correspondence. It is a curated social event designed for professionals in the lifestyle to meet, and to allow both the guests and hosts alike to assess chemistry, comfort, and alignment for possible future inclusion.
As is often the case after these evenings, some guests are invited to continue and some are not. That decision is part of the curation itself and is not something we generally debate publicly or extend into a prolonged process afterward. Venue preferences may vary, and reasonable people can differ on a particular restaurant, but the broader purpose of the evening was to create an opportunity to meet and assess fit.
We wish you well.

Lowcountry Lifestyle Indulgence II :
As someone who holds discernment in high regard, I can wholeheartedly attest that THEGROUP isn't just another event organizer it's a haven for the truly selective. Their ethos, as outlined in their bio, resonates deeply with individuals who crave meaningful connections and exquisite experiences over superficial encounters.
Recently, I had the pleasure of attending an event hosted by THEGROUP in Charleston, and it was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment I stepped into the venue, I knew I was in for something extraordinary. The atmosphere exuded elegance, drawing in respectable, educated, and extraordinary guests who mirrored the exclusivity of THEGROUP's membership.
What truly impressed me was the seamless ution of the event. The professional organizers behind THEGROUP handled even the most complicated issues with grace and efficiency, ensuring that every detail was meticulously curated to perfection. It was evident that they shared the same dedication to quality that their members embody.
But the highlight of the evening wasn't just the ambiance or the impeccable organization it was the thoughtful touches that made it truly unforgettable. The hosts went above and beyond, gifting unique and memorable tokens that encapsulated the essence of Charleston, serving as cherished reminders of a remarkable evening.
Engaging in conversations at this event felt akin to attending a high-profile fashion show in a grand ballroom. Surrounded by like-minded individuals who value substance over the surface, I found myself immersed in captivating discussions that went beyond the superficial.
In conclusion, THEGROUP exceeded my already high expectations (I am owning it to be way self-aware lol), delivering an event that was not just a gathering but an experience to remember. If you're someone who demands the best life has to offer and seeks genuine connections in an exclusive setting, look no further than THEGROUP.

Great private event on The Group’s yacht

Very elegant and charming Hostess with a great pairing of quality wines and fine foods throughout the evening. The Wine Sommelier that addressed every wine pairing between plates was spectacular with a remarkable background that added significant value to the evening.
