Rustic-chic private farm venue in scenic Stonington, CT 

Deans Mill Farm 

Built in the mid-1700s as a functioning livestock farm, Deans Mill Farm has gone through an evolution in recent decades. A full renovation of the historic buildings and rejuvenation of the surrounding 70+ acres has made the property into the incredible venue it is today. Deans Mill Farm now operates primarily as a private event space and five-room bed and breakfast tucked down a private road in Stonington, Connecticut. It shares its property with Dragonfly Equestrian Center and is home to dozens of horses. On the property lies meadows, hiking trails, beautiful fields and Dragonfly Disc Golf. The property can be rented for weddings, birthday parties and other special events. Additionally, the bed and breakfast can be rented by the room or reserved in its entirety for complete privacy. The Farm has the ability to host small private indoor events for up to 50 guests in the Farmhouse. Outdoor tented events are our specialty, with numerous locations on-site that are picturesque for your celebration. Outdoor tented celebrations can accommodate up to 250 guests.

Ready to meet local singles face-to-face? Join us for a fun, low-pressure evening of meaningful connections!
Ditch the swiping. Come meet real, local singles in person. This is your excuse to get out, look good, grab a drink, and actually connect with people face to face. No more endless texting and never meeting in-person, no more guessing.. just a fun, social night where you can talk, laugh, flirt, and see what happens. Our speed dating events are designed to feel natural and effortless. It’s everything you wish dating apps felt like… but in real life. Note on Age Range: While this event is geared toward the age range listed in the title, it’s not a strict rule. If you feel like you’d vibe with this crowd, you’re welcome to join. Our goal is always to create a well-balanced group where connections actually make sense. ⸻ How the Night Works Start with a Social Mixer Kick things off with a relaxed mingle. Grab a drink (not included, but highly encouraged), settle in, and get comfortable before the rounds begin. Easy, Guided Conversations We keep things flowing so you don’t have to overthink it. Each round includes a fun icebreaker, and our host guides the room so everything feels smooth, upbeat, and never awkward. Quick, Real Connections You’ll spend a few minutes with each person, just enough time to catch a vibe before rotating. It’s light, fun, and way more natural than sitting through a full date. Match the Ones You’re Into After each round, you’ll mark “friend,” “date,” or “none” on our simple matching system. If it’s mutual, we’ll send you each other’s info the next day. ⸻ A Few Things to Know ⏰ Please arrive 15–30 minutes early to check in and get settled. We start on time, and late arrivals may not be accommodated. 💡 This is meant to be fun! The best way to enjoy it is to stay open, be present, and focus on meeting new people. Some people leave with a match, others leave with new connections—either way, it’s a great night. ⸻ Spots are limited to keep the experience smooth and the ratios balanced. Once we’re full, we’re full. Follow us @sipsandsparks for upcoming events, behind-the-scenes, and occasional promo codes 🎉
