Unlucky in love? A pair of matchmakers has been taking on the islands’ dating scene, old-school style.
Natalie Gonder and Ashley Davis launched Partner Up last year to offer private matchmaking services in Hawaiʻi. Ashley and Natalie have a bit of a meet-cute story, too. The duo met on Maui and came up with the idea for Partner Up in a sauna.
They’ve expanded from Maui and the Hawaiʻi Island to Oʻahu. The group is hosting speed dating after dark at Koko Head Cafe in Kaimukī tonight at 6:30 p.m. Click here for tickets.
