Santa Barbara Magazine: Key to Your Heart

Santa Barbara Magazine spotlighted our Lock & Key parties with 'Key to Your Heart' — a look at how matching hardware turns a room of strangers into a night of possibilities.

Key to Your Heart — Posted online: May 2013

Looking for love but haven't quite found the key? Santa Barbara Matchmaking's Lisa Darsonval can help. The go-to local matchmaker hosts regular Lock and Key parties that offer a space for matching that is as straightforward as it is creative. Upon arrival, women attendees get padlocks and men get keys. Each time their hardware matches, it's turned in for a new set of hardware and each person gets another raffle ticket for great prizes donated by local businesses…or maybe even a date? Judging from the popularity of the events (attendance has doubled at each new gathering) this formula for love seems to be working.

The next Lock and Key party takes place Sunday, May 26 from 12:30 to 3pm at the Santa Barbara Polo & Racquet Club and also launches Darsonval's Meet the Matchmaker series that will be held monthly, when the expert will be on hand to answer questions about dating in Santa Barbara and to connect singles during polo matches.

Purchase a ticket (from $22, lockandkeyevents.com) for your own shot at local love.
