Hey Lowell, Excited for Yule Ball but not sure who to ask? Well, look no further–The Lowell Matchmaker is back! After wild success at Bacchanalia last spring, the Matchmaker is determined to help you find a Lowell Lover of your own for Yule Ball. Fill out the form below by noon (12pm) on Friday, December 3, and the Matchmaker will do his/her best to find you a date by Sunday morning. Don’t wait, Yule Ball is on Saturday! Love, LoHo Matchmaker

Questions on the survey capture such characteristically Harvard romantic essentials as “Stein Club or Masters’ Tea?” and “Primal Scream or Widener Stacks?”.

Here’s to hoping for a rockin’ Saturday night, fellow Lowellians.

Fill out the matchmaking form and your Yule Ball can be like Hermione's!
