Best Speed Dating company Vancouver has. Organizers really do care and help at events. It's hard to find such a good speed dating company in Vancouver. They've been going strong since 2002. read more

I am happy to change this review if the event organizer follows some of the suggestions. the free date guarantee is indeed a benefit that not many speed dating organizers offer. However I think I would attend these more and encourage my family and friends to attend if 1) It would be nice if they had a more stricter criteria then age for their event audience. I attend speed dating events in the US precisely because they have this sort of vetting criteria (Singles with degree, Singles with graduate degrees, Singles who are vegan etc..). I have already connected with a few people here. 2) I don't drink and attending events at bars makes me uncomfortable because I won buy anything at the venue and I also worry if the person I am talking to is blabbering under the influence or really interested in conversing. There are plenty of restaurants and rven WeWork locations where this sort of event can be hosted. The atmosphere is suitable to all attendees. Please consider this as a constructive feedback. I am not the only reviewer vocalizing these cons. I have also acknowledged your pro. There are many different organizations who do speed dating events nowadays and just like you offer the free return date benefit, it might just be a matter of time before one addresses the above pain points and becomes the go to place for singles. read more

In a burst of insanity I attended five speed dating events...I walked out of three of them before talking to a single woman...the quality of people who goes to these events is poor...attractive people with options have moved online...the other two events that I stayed for were mediocre and led to no connections...obviously there are no guarantees but the return on investment here is just terrible...you're better off doing pretty much anything else. - Responding to the nonsense below...obviously they are going to do the PR nonsense of how lauded they are or what have to spin their garbage business as being fab (in their best interest of course). So let's address the silliness...ok...I left 6/9...what does that tell you? Does it tell you that I walked into a room with a bunch of attractive women or that I walked into a room and the people there were so beyond UGH that my best course of action was to leave? Do you honestly think that having spent like $50 for an evening I would walk out if there was literally anyone that was worth meeting? Also, how does walking out mean I somehow can't scan a room? If the event starts at 7:30 and I walk out at 7:30, I am pretty sure I saw what the options were and decided to bail. I am puzzled how my staying and meeting women I 100000% know are going to be a "no" is of any benefit to the ladies attending. The bottom line is that Ragna is trying to lawyer herself into a response with nonsense semantics. Yes, beauty if subjective. Fine. I found that in 9 events the women maybe averaged a 2/10. Maybe the woman with the water stained shirt and patchy hair who looked like she crawled out of a gutter is a fabulous catch. You do you world. And here's the thing...offering a guarantee of coming back is like being fed a rancid burger then being offered a replacement rancid burger when you toss your cookies. Not much of a benefit is it there Ragna? read more

The CEO and the hostesses here are the loveliest people. They went above and beyond anything I expected to help me with an issue I had, and in the most warm and friendliest way. They were so quick to respond, even though it was regarding an event I had attended two months prior (a long while ago) I felt totally valued as a customer and person. The event in Toronto I attended was well organized. They were quick to inform of a change of venue and subsequent followed-up. I should mention that even though I did not have a match, I thoroughly enjoyed it! I had a lot of fun, when one of my dates went over the time limit, the hostess was quick to step in to keep things moving, and was very friendly about it! At times it may take a bit of effort to hear or talk over others at the venue (with everyone talking) but that is just a minor issue and something I believe can't be helped. All in all, it was a wonderful experience - I have signed up for the next one and will definitely be attending more events in the future if needed! read more

I went to my speed dating event the other night in Toronto (25-35 yr age group), and thought I'd share with everyone how disappointed I was. When I called 25dates on the 14th, the person I spoke to confirmed that the event I was going to was sold out for the men (so there would be 25 of them at the event). On their website, it said there were only a few remaining spots for the women - which is why I decided to sign my friend and I up. By a few, I was sure they just meant 3, maybe 4 spots left to fill at the max. When we arrived to the event at Marche, the ladies told me that the number was lowered down to 18 guys - in order to have an even guy/girl ratio. So basically it sounded as if they turned 7 guys away from going, because only 18 girls signed up. When I sat down and was ready to begin the first speed dating session, one of the organizers announced that each date would be extended in length as several men didn't show up - so in the end I only met 14 men of the 25 I was expecting to meet. I did not eat any of the food, and I had to pay an additional 11 dollars out of my own pocket for one drink. I was surprised they wouldn't at least cover 1 drink for this type of event. I felt very misled after my phone conversation, with high hopes that I was going to actually be meeting 25 men. Not 14. I did not make any matches (did not think much of the men there), and am unlikely to return due to this experience. Just a warning to anyone else considering trying speed dating through this company. read more

Never again! Complete waste of money, spam your email inbox. I have no idea why I ever did this. I did this two nights ago in Toronto. Each date last approx 3 minutes. 1. The website claimed that the women were sold out and that there were 3 spots available for men. Upon showing up there were more men than women. Interesting marketing on their part? 2. Event was held in the backend of a restaurant with the summer sun beating on your back/face. I felt bad for some of the women. They could barely keep their eyes open 3. 3 minute dates. This includes the movement between tables. Last person hasn't moved? Just stand there for a minute and waste more of your time. Think about what how much talking/listening you can do in three minutes. 4. One, or more, girls left less than halfway through the event. Too bad I didn't take their cue While we're at it ... the remarks by the owner "Ragna S." on this review page should be taken with a grain of salt. I highly doubt they have the technical or business acumen to survey people and differentiate between what people say they want and what they respond to. Judging by the low reviews on Yelp by people with something substantial to say I think the evidence is pretty clear. The odds are stacked against you so save yourself some money. read more

I'll explain how this service deserves its score after recently attending an event: The cons: - When a person arrives at an event, valid ID should be checked to prove a person's name and age are correct. This never occurred. - Extra criteria should be available when choosing an event. Instead of filtering by age only, There should be extra filters because I'll always put a "no" to the divorced. - The "Hors d-oeuvres" seemed to be small portions at best, although I didn't have any. - The event locations are currently limited mostly to bars. I don't drink alcohol. Other types of venues should be used to create interest. The pros: - It's better than online dating. - You're guaranteed to meet someone at least once. - They allow you to come to another event if there is no match. - They answer as many questions as possible (have good customer service). - Procedure is straight forward. 3 minutes a person then switch. What they can do to improve: - Add events outside of the GTA - Add events in places other than bars - Add more filtering to events other than just age (such as marital status: Divorced or single, etc) - Add option to pay quickly in person (for those without credit cards) - Provide drinks (even if it's a pitcher of water IN the event). I had to ask the arcade for water. read more

Update: So I was offered to try again as I was told my experience was not the norm. To their credit this event was much more organized and overall a better experience. The organizer was better prepared and the night went off without any issues... It is something I think singles should try at least once. Personally it did not work for me but I am a single father and most of the women there were looking to start families, this however, is my issue not the events fault at all. If I had another suggestion it would be to organize an event like this in Barrhaven or Kanata aimed at single parents.. there are a lot of us! read more

25Dates is the biggest scam in going on in Toronto, Canada and the across the country. They may say they have 12 girls going to an event, and there may only be 5 or 6. They do not give you any of your matches. They lie, lie, lie about everything. There is no way of knowing if they give you your matches or not. I went with a girl friend to 4 different events and we picked each other each time. Every time we got our matches, I never got matched with her, even though we said yes to each other. They are a complete scam and waste of time and money. I have never seen such a rip-off in my entire life!! Buyer beware! Save your money! Fake company, all lies to steal your money. read more

I'll start of saying the venue was upscale and located in Toronto. The hostess was wearing jeans and didn't smile once when people were asking questions. I would think that that the person who is the point of contact would be more professional. The issue I had us that that I didn't meet 25 people for dates. There were only 9 men at the event. The people from 25 dates are not good at communicating how their events are run. The hostess who was at the event appeared that she was uncomfortable being there. I would say beware of paying money and then not get what is promised. read more

I signed up to do speed dating with 25 Dates.com. Did not find anybody suitable and as per their promise/agreement they scheduled me onto another speed date session months in the future as that's all that was available according to them. I had to cancel 2 days in advance and when I asked to reschedule they refused. Considering they are as oversubscribed as they say especially with women candidates rescheduling me should not have been an issue with 48 plus hours notice cancellation. The event was a waste of time for women. Definitely would not pay to do this again as it was a waste of time and money. read more
