I joined the group back in October, and I'm a fan! I've been living in the Dallas area for five months now as an Au Pair, and have a good group of Au Pair friends, but I realized I needed other variety in my life. After using other online sites to try and meet people, I just wasn't getting the results I was looking for. Joining E&A has been really great at providing me the opportunities to meet such a variety of people, and I have no regrets joining! It is on the pricier side, but they have such a wide range of available activities every single day of the month, that I really believe it's worth the money for the most part. There's really something for everyone. I've participated in a board games night, a day at one of the other members' farm (where we got to help with the animals and chores as well as play with them, followed by an awesome campfire!), bowling, etc. Not only is E&A great for making new friendships, but it's also great for just making connections in general! You never know when you may need a service that one of these people can provide, with the wide range of careers people are in. read more

Joining this club is one of the best decisions I've made. I don't know how they do it but they recruit such quality people. No more excuses to be bored. There's at least one activity every day. The quality of my life has improved so much that I'm seriously considering a lifetime membership. I don't understand why current reviews don't reflect how wonderful this membership club is. If you're single, join us!! read more

When I signed up for the service they had me take an interview. I'm 25 and I've never used a service like this one. In the interview, I asked whether or not there would be people around my age. They assured me that there would be plenty of people my age and it wouldn't be a problem. That was completely false. Most events I went to had a lot of older people, which isn't a problem, but it was hard for me to connect with them. They also said that most events would be free. They were not. Even if it was free in regards to Events & Adventure, it was not free upon arrival. When I tried to cancel the service after expressing my disappointment, they refused to let me cancel it. So I canceled it through my bank instead. Then I started receiving notices that they would send my account to collections unless I pay an exorbitant amount for the service that I cancelled and didn't use. I am currently trying to lower the settlement amount but they are refusing even though I have made them fully aware that I cannot afford the settlement amount. I was never made aware that this service would send me to collections. All in all, a terrible service and a terrible experience. DO NOT SIGN UP FOR THIS. read more

Please save your money. This is a scam. The events are the same every week. There is hardly anyone in these groups, and the younger people are hired by E & A to attend the events. I want to cancel my agreement, and they will not allow it. I understand I signed an agreement, so I will complete my agreement, but I will start leaving reviews about my experience everywhere. I should have done my research, but I did not.

First off, I didn't sign up for E&A so I can't speak to what its like once you're in. My issue is with the sales experience. You are told that you are interviewing for a "private club" by "invite only." They ask you a lot of questions about yourself and its a little like a first date. I don't think it's an accident that they paired me with an attractive woman who claimed she was also a member of the club for about a year. They keep asking leading questions like "what do you think you would get out of this" and "what are you looking for with E&E?" They ask what problems you have had with other dating avenues like apps. At the end its a high pressure sales pitch. They want you to sign up at that moment. They can only give you a discount if you sign up right then, putting pressure on you to not analyze the decision to drop $2400 on something you may or may not use. It penalizes people who want to think about a major purchase before they pull the trigger. You cannot try even one event before purchasing. You cannot cancel and get a partial refund back. Once you sign up, you are committed to the full $2400 whether you get something out of it or not, whether the events are available for you or not, whether the people are in your age range or vibe or not. If you have to lock people into spending that much cash (which for most people is significant investment) whether they are happy with your service or not, then your business model is flawed and dishonest. This whole experience is like getting a sales pitch to buy a timeshare, except you can't even see what you're buying before you spend the money. No thanks. read more

I joined e&a Aptil of 2021 amd it has been money well spent. I will there are some weird folks but if you are new you will be warned about them. I feel so welcomed and befriended by many people that I would not have met otherwise. I have also been dealing with alot recently and am so thankful for everyone's support and friendship. Thankyou. read more

PLEASE PLEASE STAY AWAY! I'm so glad that I read the reviews first BEFORE the initial interview. Something told me not to go through with it. I set up an interview and date, cancelled the first time, then rescheduled for another. Again, something wasn't quite right. So, when I texted stating that I wasn't ready to start dating now, all of a sudden I didn't get a reply. But, they were replying like crazy when I communicated prior. So please, DON'T DO IT....IT IS A SCAM! read more

DO NOT FALL FOR THIS SCAM!!! I joined a while back. I went to my first event and there were about 30 guys there and 1 woman. I knew I had been scammed right away. I called begging and pleading to get out of it. They refused. The people at the event weren't quality. They tricked me by saying "we prescreen our members". Yes, they do. But, it's not for quality. They just check to see if they have a criminal record. If they don't they let them join. Don't fall for the fake 5-Star reviews on here either. Good looking people who have their act together don't join these. It's only desperate people looking for a relationship to save them. read more

THIS IS A SCAM. Don't make the same mistake that I did. This organization takes advantage of lonely, busy people. Their interview process is nice at first, but then they rush you into signing a contract. What they don't tell you is that you can only cancel and receive a full refund within 24 hours of signing the contract. You know how with most services like this (dance classes, gym memberships, etc.) you can try it out for a little before committing? Well, at Events and Adventures, once you attend one event within 24 hours, you are trapped. They give you three days (without having attended an event) to cancel with a $400 charge. I knew I was done after the first event, but it took a while for me to find all this information. Then it took TEN DAYS for the right people to get in contact with me. I think they intentionally do this to wait out their cancellation period. ALSO: the members are all older and more awkward than they would have you believe. I don't understand how some people made it past the interview. Now I'm stuck paying $147 a month for a YEAR for a membership I was rushed into and do not want to use. I will keep posting stuff like this until they give me some kind of refund. read more

This is a little pricey, but worth it in my opinion. So many events that I would of never known existed, and it allows me to get out and meet new people. Some people are at every event, but usually there is a few new people. I have met some amazing people. I was new to the area and its allowed me to be out on the town. read more

I'm a member and truly enjoy all the events I attend. Our Event Coordinator is "Best in the Business" and having her coordinate events has been a true blessing. As a Single Guy, these events allow me to get out of the house and socialize with other members. We also do a lot of fun activities that make being a member even better. E&A plans the events and we get to attend them. read more

I joined in Oct 2018 and I havent been impressed for the price of membership, you still have to pay for some events & I am not able to pay for the bigher travel trips. The people individually are fine, some great, but in the group they are extremely petty & clickish (like high school) here in the Dallas area. The Houston group, the ones that I have met, are AWESOME!!! They have events every night of the week, sometimes two, and for the most part are pretty good; well thought out/planned. However, as a recovering alcoholic a majority of the events revolve and/or include copious amounts of alcohol, again I am not impressed; its what the members want. I have done things out of my confort zone & met some great people....but if I could go back and do it again, I wouldnt sign up. I have found the same great people & events on MeetUp app. read more

Events and Adventures is a great way to try new things you never thought you tried before and mostly a great way to cross things off your bucket list whether you decide to look for a relationship or not. If you don't want to be dating anyone, it's a great way to make lifelong friendships. read more

I hope people look at these reviews and turn away from this. You CANNOT change your vulnerable mind after interviewing and signing the contract. They aren't clear of these guidelines in the interview process. Overcharge and only offer settlements that are WAY too high. Also...if you "freeze" your membership they will still charge your regular monthly rate! LOOK AWAY! read more

I wish i had never joined. Any remotely fun event they have scheduled has an additional cost which you would pay the same if you werent a member. The management turns over constantly so most of the information on their calendars is from some other event written by some other person. Save your money! read more

10/10 DOES NOT recommend. Disclaimer, I declined my invitation to become a member for a number of reasons. My expectations going into this process was that E & A was an exciting group that jointly plans events around the area to meet new people. 1) The Interview. The interview started out fairly well, just small talk, what we're looking to get out of the club, etc. BUT then it took an odd turn, the questions become very personal. The "director" asked about past relationships, my finances, credit lines, savings. 2) Trying to get you to make an impulse buy. The interviewer really pushed me to sign up right then and there... put a good amount of money down, plus monthly payments- even told me to put it on the credit card. I politely explained that I can't make this kind of impulse decision, and asked if I can take something home to look over, packages, rates, etc. Their answer was simply no, they don't want "non-members" knowing their prices. So I left. 3) The follow up call. This is where things went south. While at work, their director called ( the guy who interviewed me, Anthony). I explained I was at work, but not interesting in the club for financial reasons, and I explained how I felt about some of his interview questions. He instantly went off making me I was missing out, and that I was only hurting myself since I was new to town and wanted to get out more. Again, I told him I was at work and couldn't have this conversation, but he kept going and going..... eventually I had to hang up. Horrible first impression. I think I'll stick to the old fashioned way of meeting people, and go to the bar. read more

Make sure you understand your freezing and have the money to go to events. most of the young people go to the free events and bar meet ups. a lot of the older crowd goes to the stuff that costs money- but man they are a blast! i have met quite a few mentors and lifelong friends through this. read more

I joined Events & Adventures mid-July this year and was skeptical at first because of the negative reviews. Also, none of my friends had experience with E&A. However, after my "interview" and looking at the calendar I was excited to join and glad that I did! I have made a lot of new wonderful friends and done things I would never do on my own. Some of my favorite activities have been ifly (indoor skydiving), the Immersive Game Box (we did Squid Games), the Game Show (we were on a team and played Wheel of Fortune and the Price is Right), the dinners, playing ping-pong, pool and Pickleball. They have activities every day of the week and sometimes 2 on the weekends. You can do as much or as little as you want. So there is always something fun to do. You just show up! Also enjoyed the Glamping trip held over Labor Day where we stayed in air-conditioned cabins and got to do some hiking and kayaking Looking forward to ringing in the New Year with my new E&A friends at this year's Masquerade Ball and also looking forward to going on one of the international trips I've heard good things about. I joined as a Lifetime member and don't regret it and look forward to many more Events & Adventures! I highly recommend joining if you are tired of staying home and want to meet some nice single people! read more

I signed up for this a few years ago. The advertising is misleading. There's a membership fee, plus additional cost. I was told one third of events were free, one third pay what you consume, one third additional cost. The "free" events don't really exist. Beyond that, the members that you stick around are generally nice people, but super awkward. If you identify as a nerd and have always done so, this might be a good place for you. Otherwise it's a significant membership fee and not worth it. P.S. the company occasionally provides incentive for members to write positive reviews. read more

This doesn't even deserve one star but this is as low as it'll go. This is the biggest SCAM I've ever seen. I wish I would've came to yelp and looked them up before ever signing up. There is a reason there are way more bad reviews or "not recommended reviews" than good ones. The first issue with this "club" is that they won't let you cancel. I had some struggles happen to where i couldn't afford this anymore and all they care about is getting their money. Im barley making it by as it is now and this company won't let me cancel. When you sign up with events and adventures, the only mention of the cancellation process is that if you want your down payment back it has to be done within the first couple of days. Never in the entire interview process do they tell you you aren't allowed to cancel. So imagine my surprise and panic when I tried to cancel my membership And was told I could only freeze it or pay for the majority of it upfront. If I can't afford it now what makes you think I can pay for the majority of it up front or later on after the payments have increased due to it being frozen? When my best friend and I signed up we were told we'd save money each month because their events were free. Not only do you pay the ridiculous monthly fee, you also have to pay for most of the events. We were also told there were plenty of members in there 20s like us and we never saw a single one. Save your money and stay away! read more

Well I had originally loved this place. Now- since covid- worse ever. My parents both passed in 2020, I lost my job and yet they refused to cancel. Now it's sitting in collections even though they didn't even have events! Just massive charges. Highly recommend to avoid! Every event in person costs money. So you pay membership and full price for crappy events. Some events are cool- but you pay over ticket price for the "experience " for example- stars games. Ticket price 45- E&A price $75-90! read more

Great way to meet new people. Whether you're new to the area or wanting to give adventures a try. Axe-throwing, skeet shooting, or just drinks on the patio or two stepping? There's such a variety and everyone is so welcoming and inclusive Definitely for friendship more than love. Though I'm dating a guy from the group read more

Heads up, it costs $2,000 to buy their social calendar. Their sales pitch was very psychological, using phrases like "you're my 4th interview today and we don't take just everyone. The 3 people before you weren't offered an invitation to join." I felt like I was being sold a used car during my interview. They throw out all these different prices that were not transparent at all. Had they been up front about the financial commitment you have to make, I would have actually considered it before and not wasted the "interviewers" (aka salespersons) and my time. I'm sorry, I'm not giving you $800 for an initiation fee without seeing terms and conditions first. It would be different if they offered a 30 day trial, with a 50% refund at least. They don't. Be prepared to pay for access to their calendar for 1 or 2 years. Overall, this club is operating, in what I feel, is an ethically gray area. Don't be naive like me and not take the negative reviews into consideration. read more

In my opinion, Events and Adventures is a scam. Your are forced into making a commitment the day of your interview, misled into believing the majority of events are free, and convinced that the average age is 45-50. I have only been a member for 6 weeks and just learned that I will be placed on an assignment in a city that does not have a club for the next 2 years. I have tried to get my money refunded or even partially refunded and since I am past the 30 days, they will not make any exceptions. For the record, the average age is more like 35-40, most events required additional fees, and they are not flexible for extenuating circumstances. I would not recommend them to anyone!!! read more

BEWARE THIS IS SCAM. I can't believe they're legally around the country. Like other people stated on other platforms they are very unclear about their policies and they don't disclose verbally any information about the binding contract you're about to sign. Besides being ridiculously OVERPRICED (like literally you get to pay the same amount of money and maybe even less if you're not a member), you can still "cancel" the membership but YOU MUST KEEP PAYING FOR THE MEMBERSHIP as for contract, which means you keep paying for a service that you don't use anymore. What's worse is that they give you only 24 h to cancel your contract unless you attend your first event then you're BOUND/TRAPPED, which is sick because how on earth I'm going to decide if I like it or not? They are well aware that they are cheating and they have horrible testimonials, so that's why they stick to strict binding rules so people can't go back but keep paying no matter what. I had to relocate to my country in Europe for a family obligation and this is the response they gave me... Are you even serious? Is this a bad joke? They've been nosy and wanted to know where I'm going to relocate to. Unbelievable. This should be illegal anywhere. I hope that someone with authority will stand up to this BS and put an end to it. read more

I have really enjoyed my time in E & A. I recently went on a trip to England and Scotland and made some great friends from around the country. I understand the cost can be a bit prohibitive, but it really is a case of you get what you pay for. So many free or cheap activities (pool parties at members houses for example) and they really do try to screen a bit (not gonna be 100%, but much better than match.com) All in all I have gotten great value for my dollar, and would recommend this to my single friends struggling to break the Dallas social scene enigma! read more

I've enjoyed several events over the past 7 months. The events are generally well planned. My issues are: not that many younger members. I'm in my 20s, and not many members are. There also aren't that many truly single guys, as dating is still 'single', so definitely no dating potentials so far. Also, after paying the high membership fee, most events have additional fees. They made it sound like more events would be free, but not really. And a lot of the events are heavily catered to people who drink alcohol. So they are a bit awkward for me as a non-drinker. It has gotten me out and about more, which I wanted. And the members and employees are generally pretty nice. But it definitely advertises a different experience than you actually get. read more

So far so good! I have met a lot of people and have had fun in the events that would be set up. I enjoy being able to look into joining events in advance and have made a few friends along the way. I can't wait to see what's in store for the holidays. read more

I've been a member for a year and I am so glad I joined. I've made long lasting friendships and I'm getting out of the house. Win win!

ZERO STARS!!! This place will scam you... Read all paperwork before you sign. Do not believe what they tell you if you don't read the paperwork. I was asked for my social and I asked for what? The lady told me it was to perform a background check and nothing more. They just wanted to make sure I was not a felon and BS like that. Well... She "forgot" to mention that a contract was required to join. I never once attended any event due to the fact that I found out I was pregnant from a long distance relationship. They threatened to send my account to collection when I refused to pay for the next months. I mean and the way they write their letters DO really sound like a thread more then a warning. I did not appreciate non of it, so I let it go to collection. Currently still on my credit report as you see on the attachment. They are rip offs an not them nor the collection agency is getting one more sent from me. read more

Events & Adventures - Collection Bureau Reports - Social Clubs Near Me - Dallas, Texas

My fiancee and I were in San Antonio in February because my mom was having surgery there. My best friend lives in Flower Mound, right outside the Dallas/Ft Worth area. We went to go spend some time with him before we returned to Arizona. We gave him a heads up a month ahead of time and he said "dude don't know what to do down here. I'm an engineer, I have no social life"... I said "bro, you gotta join Events and Adventures. I met my Fiancee in E&A San Fransisco!"... He did, and he just followed up with me and he's been having a blast. Thank you for taking such awesome care of my best friend!! read more

"E & A" is so awesome! You will never have to ponder what to do again. I've met new fun people and do everything from horse back riding, camping, sky diving, visit museums and theaters, holiday parties, trying new restaurants and traveling internationally leaving every perfectly executed detail to E & A. So well worth every penny and more. You will gain self confidence! My married friends are so envious of how exciting my life is now. Several members have met and married in the short time that I have been a member! read more

AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE! this group is an over priced joke, the hosts have no interest in being friendly and the events are for the 50+ crowd, far from the "young professionals" advertisment read more

E&A representatives are liars and this group is a total waste of money! I wanted to join this group to meet people my age (21) and they told me there was a huge group of young adults in this. Well the first event I went to everyone was 40+; I thought maybe it was just that certain event but the second was not much different. The closest person to my age was 7 years older than me! So much for meeting people my age. Then about a month and half ago I got with some medical issues and bills I was not prepared for and asked to cancel. They said they needed a doctors note so I got one and they still won't let me out! All they care about is taking your money! read more

COST:: Waste of money (a LOT of money) - it is over $2000 for one year alone. Plus, the events still cost money on top of that. No reduced prices! Sometimes things cost more because this company is greedy. MEMBERS:: the members are hit and miss. The staff tells you that they do background checks on members, but that is false. It has had members with criminal backgrounds. Also, unless you do something against the law, they rarely kick members out. EVENTS:: You can count on 99% of the events having alcohol. There are a lot of repeat events, too, such as: dinner at a restaurant or bar; volleyball every week in the summer at the same location, dancing/drinking at local venues, etc. The good events are repeated, but sometimes it gets boring because they go to the same type of bars over and over. DATING:: you can be a member and date, you just can't be married. Some members date each other, and others are dating people outside the group. There are more people looking for friendship rather than dates, it seems. People also form "clicks" like in high school: sorry, the group is not drama-free. read more

This is a great way to meet others, try new experiences and travel without the hassle of planning!

I tried to join this club a way back after my marriage ended, thought it would be good, a place that sets up meetings with other singles, how easy is that? Well the rollercoaster ride has started so buckle your seatbelt. I set up an interview via the phone and the very nice person I spoke with answered my questions and assured me when I set a physical interview date I would be speaking with her directly and all would be well. So I get to their facility in Dallas Texas and walk in, the receptionist was very nice and after offering me H2O and such handed me a clip board with paperwork to fill out. As I went through the standard information gathering form there were two questions that caught my attention, one asking for my drivers license number and the other my SS number. I was told by said phone interviewer there was no obligation what so ever and that the physical interview would be a question and answer session and I would be able to go and think about joining or not. Once I finished the paperwork and handed it back I was made to wait almost 45 minutes before someone (not the person I spoke to on the phone) came and took me to an interview room with a small table and three chairs, a little TV and a medium player for videos. I was made to watch a video showing all the fun stuff the organization does with their suckers (oh sorry I mean clients), after it was done the young woman with whom I was paired came back and asked if I liked what I saw and was ready to join. while I was explaining to her what I was told by the phone person and that this meeting was only a Q/A session, she informed me that that was not so and I had to make a decision right then and there and I could not leave and come back either, it was now or never. While I was talking to her someone must have come up behind me, because the interviewer looked up all of a sudden, then nodded and her whole demeanor changed, up till that point she was pleasant, now she was hostile, combative, insulting, and derogatory towards me. Now she's making the full court press, either I sign or I have to leave, I tell her I would like to think about it and that I was told while on the phone with the first interviewer I could take my time on my decision and I had some more questions (which she told me earlier on I could ask as much as I liked). I then asked what's up since her demeaner changed, she told me that I could not ask any more questions unless I join and sign a contract. She proceeded to stand up and escort me rather quickly out a side door (not the one I came in in the front initially). As she is ushering me out this side door rather quickly, she is neither polite or helpful, I'm trying to ask questions and she is having none of it. When we get to the door she tells me I can come back if I'm serious about joining and ask question then. I was literally thrown out of events and adventures Dallas office for some reason (never explained), talk about unprofessional; and to top it all off the interviewer closes the door in my face as I'm trying to find out why I've been escorted out. I never received any answer, and from what I've read of other reviews I'm fortunate that I didn't get caught up in their scam. And folks events and adventures by my recollection is a MAJOR SCAM!!! No worries, Karma is every where. As for those individuals who have written positive write ups, I'd like to know exactly where this fantasy they wrote about happened and if there are others who would agree also. Buyer Beware!!! read more

i joined this club hoping for everything the sales people "sold me". Boy was this the biggest disappointment I ever experienced. When I tried to cancel because of relocation they became the rudest, nastiest, disrespectful people I ever experienced. Even though I never attended one single event they still expected me to pay the full amount and were not interested in refunded any of my money. I was told at my initial meeting there would be a prorated refund and after several attempts of trying to speak with someone who could assist me they would not take my calls! Disappointed member read more

It seems the reviews already speak for themselves, but I'll post one anyway. Everything they advertise upfront is false. It was advertised that the cost would be $150 and you would need to attend an interview. Just FYI...the interview is an hour and a half of them making you feel bad about yourself so that you will sign up, and the cost is $2400 per year. They also try to get you to sign up for 2-3 years and pay even more money. If they entire point is to meet someone...why would you want to sign up for 3 years? They will also tell you that you must sign up before you leave (like they're going to push your money away after you leave) and act like they have people just waiting at the door to sign up with them. Do not put yourself through the interview process and do not waste your money. It's a scam. read more

Make sure you're in FAR NORTH DALLAS if you do this. I'm in Arlington, so they don't have a lot of things in Ft. Worth/Mid-Cities. Waste of money because all of the fun stuff was in FAR NORTH DALLAS! When you go into a meeting with them, they tell you that they have stuff going on all the time & all over the place. LIES. And they won't refund your money! Customer service is terrible. No follow up to phone calls. All they want is your money. They don't care about their customers. read more
