Checked Mates, London launches in style this June, with our inaugural invitation-only event. Hosted in one of central London’s newest and most elegant private venues, this exclusive event has been carefully curated to create a warm, sophisticated atmosphere where introductions feel effortless.
Checked Mates, Boston launches later in June, hosted at The ‘Quin House, a private members club located in the heart of downtown Boston.
These early evenings set the tone to provide the perfect settings for first moves and memorable introductions.
Anita Gajdecki is the founder of Checked Mates, an invitation-only international social club for friends, redefining how modern human connection happens — in person, and with intention.
After observing that social interactions were becoming less meaningful and too random to create lasting friendships, she envisioned a more intentional yet still relaxed alternative to meeting new people. For friendship, or for romance.
She created Checked Mates to bring people back into thoughtfully curated in-person gatherings, where friends’ introductions are endorsed, conversations carry context, and chemistry unfolds in real time.
As Co-Host and Party Curator of Checked Mates, Heather embraces her title of Best Supporting Actor with style.
She has a talent for elevating the mood, reading the rhythm of a space, and adding just the right amount of glamour to every moment. The laughter is brighter, the pacing sharper, and the entrances slightly more cinematic when she’s involved.
Every leading role deserves a scene partner this good.
