I heard of Events and Adventures when I was in a relationship, while the program was on the radio. Year later I was single and sad and didn't know what to do with myself. I had no friends and no experiences and no hobbies to socialize with people. E&A gave me all of that and more. It sounds cliché to say but I really did find my people. I made friends, had experiences with new places and activities, made long lasting memories, ended up loving it so much I signed up for a lifetime membership because it just made sense. I'm so glad I found this amazing group or wonderful people. The event manager, Meggie, is now one of the best people I now have the pleasure of calling my friend. I love this group and I'm so glad I made this decision. read more

Events & Adventures - Me as a host at the new member meeting messing around with my fellow host KC and event manager Meggie. - Social Clubs Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

Be very careful, they say you can cancel it but the contract says 3 days from signing. You don't have time to even elevate the service in 3 days. I didn't care the types of events nor the people who attended. Waste of money. read more

This is a total scam. They will show pictures of active and fit people and will tell you that they have multiple events daily. The truth is that the events are impossible to get into. On the 15th of each month the calendar for the next month is released. The popular events are booked in minutes. In my entire life, this is the most colossal waste of money I have ever experienced. read more

Worst waste of money I've ever experienced. It's basically a club for people who already know each other to hang out. All the events cost money on top of the hefty fee you are paying per month. I hope others learn from me and do not join this club. read more

This program is unfortunately seemingly a scam. I went through the interview process which started out great. But then, once prices were introduced I experienced "sticker shock" and told the rep I needed to think about this decision. The rep then used what I said against me to try to sell me on this product even though I said I had to think about making this decision. I should have done more research but I honestly had no idea the fees were so steep. I needed time to digest it. The call ended awkwardly. I felt the bait and switch for sure. read more

DO NOT SIGN UP!!! Context: I am a disabled veteran who had just moved to the Phoenix area and decided to add E&A to my list of activities to get out and meet new people in the area. After realizing that you can LITERALLY go on Meetup, Eventbrite, Facebook events, etc for FREE I decided to cancel my membership (or so I thought). I hadn't been to a single event yet, hadn't had my membership for even a week, and emailed them right back telling them I wanted out. They have a 3 day cancellation policy that has to be done by certified mail, so my email that I sent them apparently didn't count. They wanted $2500 to cancel, and when I told them to freeze my account they continued to charge me and eventually sent me to a collections agency. Bottom line is, this place is a complete scam and I cannot believe that this is how they treat our countries veterans. All of the events they planned were far as hell, the hosts and people in the corporate office that I talked to were extremely rude, and I could not recommend this place any less. read more

Events and adventures sucks and is a huge scam. Your monthly fee doesn't go towards any of the events. So you have to shell out more money on top of that. There is no way out of the contract. Had I known this was going to be like this I never would have signed up. They make it seem exclusive and very cool but it's not!! Zero stars!! read more

Complete scam!! The most unorganized events ever. Hosts are rude and only engage with their friends they bring along with them. They over charge for activities you could do buy yourself for HALF the cost!! If you told me the hosts in each city were embezzling money from the organization I would be surprised. If I prevent one person from wasting THOUSANDS of dollars to join this group and then spend even more to go to events to possibly meet 1 person, I'll consider my soul saved. LOL. SAVE YOUR $$ read more

A total scam that in which you sign up for being offered events you could go to on your own. You are basically paying a monthly amount for nothing. You still have to pay for food and other once you attend them l. Absolutely do not sign up for this scam!!! read more

This club is a waste of money and time. I joined this group thinking that I would actually meet people within the club, and that the club is hosting events ONLY for club members. When you are interviewing, they show you a calendar of events that are general and seem curated just for members. Upon joining, most of the events are events that can be found on Google or meetup.com. I went to a Bachata class that I was given the impression was for members, only to find out it's a weekly publicized event. I asked what our monthly membership pays for recently in the Facebook group and was told, "to be in the club". That is a waste of my time and money when I have to pay extra for open events I could find on my own that are not curated for just members- what our membership cost should be covering. If your financial situation changes, you cannot get out of the contract. You have 3 days to cancel said contract, which is NO time to get to know someone or get a feel if it this club is for you. The age demographic in this club for Phoenix is 40+ and previously divorced. I told the membership GM I am not interested in that demographic and he was offended. I'm sorry, but I want what I want. I'm paying for a service, and you are not providing what I thought I was paying for. Don't waste your time or money. read more

I'd give zero stars if I could. I was promised 'tons' of events near me in the east valley. Since last May when I regrettably signed up, I haven't been able to attend one event because of how far away they are. Most of the events also cost you extra money to attend on top of paying for your own food and drinks. When I asked to cancel because the events were nowhere near me, I was told no because I was past the 3 day cancellation period. What a joke. They obviously know it's a scam and that's why they have such shady practices. They did offer for me to pay them $1,200 to 'buy out' of the membership. Please don't sign up for this unless you have a ton of expendable income and live in downtown Phoenix with a ton of free time. My opinion: this is a very unethical way to do business. read more

Recently moved to the area and was eager to find fun things to do with singles. I went as a guest and was told that it would far exceed my expectations but found this "private ($$$$) social club" to be in the business of Misrepresentation! Terrible! Save your time and money! read more

This place is a scamming joke. Their membership is $2500 a year and they let you attend organized events.

I've been having so much fun as a member of this group. Joining a socials club is way out of my norm, but I'm really glad I did it. I was nervous and all that but came to an end of what was left to watch on Netflix and tired of wasting my time off doing nothing. I've met so many amazing people. Had a blast at the international cocktail experience and looking forward to so many more things this month and next. Highly recommend joining read more

Do not sign up for this unless you don't mind giving all your money away!!! I signed up after they told me the events are paid with monthly membership... low and behold everything cost extra except for the online events. They talked me out of $400 that they will not return and continue to bill monthly even though I refuse and have not gone to any of their events!! Scammers, trying to make money and take money from hard working single people. read more

I have to say I had a re-evaluation good experience. I'm excited that someone even thoUght of events & adventures. My visits was very welcoming. I was hesitating for yes to check them out . Let's see how it goes . I'll follow up later. The staff was soo nice and welcoming. read more

I went to a Jeopardy game night with a friend awhile back, (she was a member and it was a night you could bring a guest). The main thing that stood out was the run down crappy venue (a VFW), and the fact that the organizer had poor planning skills, in addition to the fact that she acted all catty because a guy seemed interested in me, (gave us a ride home, didn't seem to give a $hit about her). read more

Save yourself money and heartache. I found the organization to be very "clicky". And when the Covid 19 pandemic came around, they did nothing to refund events you had signed up for or travel money paid in advance. When our concerns were voiced over Facebook, The owner had our posts taken down. I have purchased the lifetime membership a few years ago and have been to maybe 4 events. Definitely NOT WORTH IT!! Their salesmen are very talented in convincing you to pay for a long term agreement. Their advertisements sound so great, but It's a SCAM!! If you are interested, Bring you Lawyer with you when you sign up!!!! But my other advise is go to meet ups or date sites. They are free/less expensive. The customer service was terrible!!! "except the Oregon group". They had great customer service. read more

E&A is great for busy professionals who don't have time to manage a social calendar. They can just show up for pre-planned events and not have to worry about the little details. It's particularly worthwhile for people who are new to the area and who want to network. Definitely consider joining if you want to make your entertainment planning simpler and more fun! read more

I was disappointed to learn that everyone in this group is over 40 despite being sold a membership based on the statement that the average age was 30. Also, the old people are socially awkward and creepy. I believe that is the real reason online/real life dating didn't work for them. I don't accept drinks from anyone there and avoid any afterparties. The cost of a membership is a ridiculous $2500 for a year. You can buy a lot of shoes and alcohol in one year and have some real fun for way less than the cost of the membership. - Refunds are impossible. They give you small discounts if you write positive reviews. read more

Events & Adventures - That feeling when you just realized you were tricked into a membership... - Social Clubs Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

If you are looking for a premiere adventure club, E&A is for you. If you are the type of person that is single, looking to expand your social circle, wanting to get the most out of your life, then his is your club. You'll be provided opportunities for international travel to exotic lands with a safe group of people with similar interests. Do you like the outdoors? I have camped, hiked, biked, spent water time paddle boarding, canoeing, tubing, cliff jumping and so on. Opportunities abound. How about high society? Concerts, plays, and formal events can fill your social calendar. Even if you are outside of your norm, the fun loving group of outgoing people will make you enjoy it. Need something to do every day of the week? The fantastic event coordinators and hosts have something fun planned every single day. Understand that this is a club, it has dues that help maintain it. I personally am more than happy to have an event coordinator on retainer that takes suggestions for activities, negotiated deals for you and the group and even brings in special unique events at various venues. Some people balk at having to pay for some events above and beyond the dues, but the convenience and even the discounts more than make up for this, imho. Overall, I heartily recommend joining if you are the type of person who likes to suck the marrow out of life. TLDR: Itsa social club for energetic fun loving people. If you like spending time on the couch it isn't for you. Edited grammar read more

I joined E&A at the end of January, after hearing the radio commercial about meeting people while doing things you love. So happy that I did, because I really love this group...everyone is really nice and I have enjoyed meeting new people and doing fun activities. I was hesitant to spend the money, but so glad that I decided to join. There is really a wide variety of activities from sports (sand volleyball, pickle ball), hiking, happy hours, taco Tuesday, game nights, etc. and locations both East and West side of town. You can decide which ones to attend, and often see the same people so you get to know them and share interests. I like that they interview and screen members which differs from other meetup groups. The hosts and Meggie are really friendly and helpful whenever there are questions. Meggie also reaches out to ask for suggestions and likes to gather consensus when determining choices for movies, venues, event dates. She has always been great with leading the PHX group. The only thing I wish is that the membership fee would not be as expensive, esp some activities and events have additional costs. However, there are renewal specials. read more

This place is a rip off. Don't get scammed!!! They lie and tell you "there's a monthly fee and all these events are included, they also host trips for discounted rates". So I joined, all the events worth attending, you have to PAY EXTRA for, on top of the monthly rate of about $150. So if you want to pay for someone to send you a list of other things you can pay for to hangout with strangers.... Which you CAN'T even do now due to COVID-19... At least insurance companies refunded their clients. These people are worse than insurance companies. They refuse to let me out of an illegal contract which they lied to get me into in the first place! STAY AWAY!!!! read more

I went through the interview process & of course got invited to join, I bet they do not deny anyone. The sales person inadvertently sent me an email that was meant for her colleague basically insulting me on various levels (age, mental and physical level). I kept the email as proof should I ever need it. It made me upset that this kind of business would scam people and insult them behind their back. I had signed up for the 2 yr program and then after having the proof of being insulted I quickly requested a refund which they did provide. After speaking to the owner, he told me he could not doing anything to rectify the emotional distress caused other than to let me try a visit. I thought, wow so generous right, when they easily charge you 2.6K+ or more per person. I took that money elsewhere since the incident. So good luck to those of you consider the above program, unless you don't care that all they want is your money while they insult you behind your back. I am a super sweet person and had just moved to the area, but didn't want that negativity near me so glad I stayed away. read more

When I joined Events and Adventures I was not in a good place. Becoming a part of Events and Adventures was the best decision I had every made. I was 27 years old when I joined Events and Adventures and it was perfect timing and just what i needed. I have found a knit of close friends that are not my coworkers. It is a great experience going to events meeting new people and socializing. I am very proud of my decision to join events and adventures. I am now 30 and have loved every minute of it. read more

2000$ no less to join. Singles club not a dating club. Why would anyone need a 12 month contract unless they are planning to hit it and quit it. Site also says they are meeting with everyone virtually. First thing they asked me was to drive 45 miles to meet them.. read more

Events and Adventures is a great way to get out of your comfort zone, meet a ton of new people and try things you otherwise might never have done. I met some of my best friends through this club, which I'm very grateful for, and I know so many people who have met the love of their life here, too. :) One of the best aspects is that they organize all of the events for you, so all you have to do is decide what looks fun, sign up and show up! If you are looking for more variety and socialization in your life, give it a try! read more

The people and activities couldn't be better in this group. Since joining in August of 2015 I've been skydiving, whitewater rafting, camping, on pub crawls, party buses, the symphony. They have awesome trips to places like Vegas and Spain. I was afraid that being a singles club there might be creepers but there aren't! I've made some great friends, men and women - we've gone on trips and we hang out outside of the group too. If you are thinking about joining but you're not sure. Just do it! I'm so glad that I did. Janelle and Ashley are great and the hosts are the best. Would be great if they had a mobile app though ;) read more

Best thing I could of done for myself is join this "club." I am new to Arizona and single with adult children that have lives of their own. I now have a life of my own. I travel around all of Arizona to the fun spots, the adventurous spots, the foodie spots, and never alone. It could be the same group of people, or all new people. I have met amazing people. This is a social group, and if something more happens, than all the more to you! I do 'live the life I love'. (Where are the shirts?) read more

I see some negative reviews on here about cost, and it being a waste of time. Honestly, there will ALWAYS be people who feel like something was a waste of their time. So take it with a grain of salt and decide for yourself. A few things about this company... They tell you the full cost up front before you decide, so if you can't afford it then don't do it. They don't promise you anything when it comes to having options only you enjoy, but they are always asking for ideas from their members to help accommodate those specifics and keep things interesting. And they have LOTS of options when it comes to free, high quality, morning, night, local, international, you name it. They also don't push you into anything. They provide you with information and answer all of your questions honestly. Why join E&A? Because they show you what your town has to offer, they make it hassle free when planning something for the evening because they do it for you. This is also an opportunity to get out and meet new people without relying on going to the bar or just dating apps. And these are real life people so of course you won't love everyone, but you'll still make some great friends and possibly find someone to spend the rest of your life with. read more

I enjoy this club, alot. So glad I signed up. I really like the events they plan! I would reccomend this place to most anyone! If you are looking for a good time check it out! read more

I joined for a 6 month period in February 2019. Staff misrepresent the services expected. They ask questions, then use your answers to lie about their service. When I told staff that I must be around respectful people with good values, they assured me that Events & Adventures has an environment similar to what I described. The company boasts a private, "elite" group of people. I attended ONE event, which alone proved a completely opposite situation. Given the extremely inappropriate behavior--yelling, profanity, sexual references and gestures, and overall foolishness--I was not comfortable attending more events. Then I read reviews such as on Yelp and the BBB, to find that "SCAM" is the word. I reported the inappropriate behavior to Events & Adventures, and it was met with the most unprofessional and unaccountable mentality I have ever encountered. They collected information, on a first phone call, on what happened at the event for their own internal purposes. Firstly, I had told the slick salesman when I signed up that I was raised with good values and wanted to be around like-minded people. They assured I would--LIE!!! Secondly, they have done nothing but insist that I keep going to events--after I told them repeatedly that I am uncomfortable being in situations that likely would include the same behavior. The events are open to all members, and the Company approves these people for membership. A separate phone call was made TO ME to collect information on what happened at the one event. The staff person told me that he would talk to "corporate" about it to see what type of solution could be formed. When he did not follow up with me for more than a week, I tried following up, asking to speak to him. My name and cell were taken down for a return phone call, and then within minutes I received an email from a third individual, rudely telling me that no refund was to be expected and that an events manager was notified to possibly help me go to MORE events--AGAIN!! A little later that same day, the president, Mark Owen, emailed me and rattled off a list of accusations about my behavior--that I was slandering the company, harassing staff, and so on. So if you follow up with someone who originally reached out to you about a legit complaint, E&A terms it harassment. Just like their sales pitch......misrepresentation of the facts. And let's add "refusal to do anything, but count the bank roll". So the president of Events & Adventures uses a psychological mind game of inaccurate finger pointing to turn the table on a legit complaint I have made--to somehow bully me to back off on my complaint?? You want to bully me, Mark Owen? Come at me, Bro!!! Come at me!!! After the way I have been treated by your scamming company misrepresenting and stealing my money, I am not backing down when representing the TRUTH about your unethical company. And if you want to come at ME with slander, how about you sue everyone else that left legit complaints on Yelp and other sites for YEARS....YEARS....citing inappropriate and unethical actions by your company. I have emails proving the company's attempt to do nothing! Then you try to flip the script and falsely accuse me! When I say repeatedly that I do not want to be in situations where inappropriate behavior is aplenty, your company tells me that I have no choice but to tolerate it. I went to ONE event. Had I been allowed to prove, by attending one event before paying, that your staff misrepresented the events and people involved, then I could have made an ACCURATE, INFORMED decision to avoid indecent, inappropriate behavior. But instead, your company misrepresents and a 3-day cancellation contract then equates to SCAM. There aren't events "every day", so a member can not pay for services, attend to a first event and find out the TRUTH, and still have time to cancel. OUTRIGHT SCAM!!! read more

Was falsely told there would be people in my age group. Went to several events even those "tailored" to my age range and no luck. No flexibility for refund for months you don't plan on using. The "trial" period lasts for 3 days which is hard to find an event to go to and get a feel for the group in that time. Don't waste your time or money on this. Total scam read more

Events and Adventures is a scam. They use high pressure sales techniques to get you to lock into a contract. If you already signed up and feel you've been scammed search "Arizona Attorney General consumer complaint". File a complaint! There's also a lawsuit pending in California over the way EandA charges dues during the COVID pandemic. The contract has a 3 day cancellation but if you attend an event you can no longer cancel. Basically they have so little confidence in their product that once you try it they know you will want to cancel. Of the free events many are at restaurants or other venues where you typically have to spend money. While they offer events almost every day the events are scattered all over the valley and beyond. It really adds a lot of cost onto the already high membership and initiation fees. There are some fun events but you can find similar events and activities on MeetUp for just a fraction of the cost. Like others have mentioned the age range wasn't what I was led to believe. Some of the women I met there were already in relationships and were just attending to socialize. Now I have to deal with collections for a service that wasn't worth it and a barely used. Save yourself the trouble and don't sign up!! read more

If you live in the East Valley, this is not the group for you. I was told there are events in Mesa/gilbert frequently, and there has been 1 event in Mesa since November. The majority of the events are in Scottsdale or Phoenix. The staff rushed me when I was signing paperwork, and didn't go over the cancellation policy at all (which sucks by the way). They charge you WAY too much (around $2000) to be a member and then charge you for each event as well. It's a complete scam and I do not recommend joining Events and Adventures. read more

Events and adventures is one of the most unethical companies I've encountered. In order to be a part of the program one must sign a one year contract costing thousands of dollars with a 3 DAY cancellation window. I was told that MOST of the events are free which is not true. After paying an additional fee to attend an event, I decided this just wasn't for me and a bigger financial decision than I could commit to. I reached out to cancel and was told I couldn't. I email, called, and wrote a letter requesting to cancel and was either told no or ignored. For a company claiming to have Christian roots, they are preying on singles craving community and trapping them into a commitment that only benefits the company financially. Now I am getting emails treating to send past monthly bills not paid because they are for services NOT desired and NOT rendered to collections. Seriously willing to ruin my credit and continue denying my request to cancel. I will not stop warning people not to get involved in this greedy company. If there are any journalists out there, I'm happy to share my experience on any and every platform to keep another person from having to go through the headache, financial stress and anxiety this has caused. read more

I love Events and Adventures. JUST the type of community I've always hoped would be accessible to active men and women who are single and dating. It's a warm, safe place for people who are looking to meet like minded, outdoorsy, social, fun, interesting people. Being single doesn't have to be a lonely time. The events are a chance to have a great time doing things we naturally enjoy, and it's a fine opportunity to practice flirting, social skills, and to try on new sporting / social activities. Brilliant concept, and well executed. read more

I joined Events and Adventures in May of 2018. Suddenly finding myself single again in my 40s, I was at a loss with what to do with myself. Most of my friends lived out of state, and I had spent the last 20 years concentrating on work and children. I had lived in Phoenix for over 20 years, but knew almost nothing of what to do for fun. So, I joined Events and Adventures. It's been perfect for me. Someone else plans all the events, but takes my suggestions seriously and has done a lot to accommodate my ideas. There is something going on everyday, and I pick the events that I am available for, or very interested in doing, but wouldn't do by myself. I've made a ton of friends, and have invitations and a social circle that invite me out all the time beyond the planned events. For me, it's been great to be able to make other adult friends, find people with common interests, and go to events that I have never heard about or even would have ever thought about attending. A combination of going out, playing sports, attending festivals, concerts, art shows, parties...I haven't has so much fun since my fraternity days in college. The members are diverse, kind, accepting and fun. And, if you are a single adult looking for more to do, and want to expand your social circle, E&A is an amazing group to be a part of! read more

What started off as a way to make the most of my free time and just have things to do turned into a group that has given me some of the most amazing friendships and allowed me to meet so many interesting people from all walks of life. I highly recommend it! read more

E&A has been nothing but a positive influence on my life. I have met so many great people and have made lifelong friendships. The events are well organized and give you plenty of opportunities to meet people and grow relationships. Joining E&A is by far one of the best decisions I have ever made. read more
