EVENTS and ADVENTURES absolute scammers . They sell their package under pressure. When I got subscription I spoke poor English and asked several time through translator if there were any penalties If I cancelled the agreement. Everything was presented as perfect and beautiful. Due to health issues I had to cancell subscription .. but they keep sending me invoices and threats. Also they sell their services to everyone at different prices - depending on how much they can scam each person for. read more

Their website states "a safe, pressure-free environment" I signed up mid April & currently have been trying to cancel for 2 weeks now. No one shows up to the lame events, the men act as if they've never seen an attractive woman before & will begin to stalk/harass you, I reached out to resolutions & they said I cannot cancel & they basically aren't here to ensure women's safety. There's men telling me they attend events FOR ME. I don't state my full name yet they've found my socials & continue to request me. I've politely let men know I'm not interested & have been followed around during entire events. How is this a safe environment. And as a woman why would I continue to sign up & attend events with thirsty unhinged men. They said I can pay $2k & they'll cancel my membership. I'm going to go the legal route & start a lawsuit against this company on the premises that they don't create a fun nor safe environment, & could care less about keeping members safe as cancellations would be a loss of profit for the scam they're running.

Events & Adventures - Ladies beware - Social Clubs Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

See all

The concept is a great idea, but the long-term 'no refund' contract they make you sign on the first day is shady as fk. They prey on lonely people and will offer bogus "one time only" deals for long-term membership to lock you in before your first event. Also, E&A were sued in 2020 for denying refunds during the pandemic. read more

No app! Few tri-valley events though was sold there would be. Very few events like hiking, bowling, or volunteering, the latter of which I thought were largely what they'd organize. Other meet up groups don't ask for $2k/yr to join and can arrange discounts for groups. I'm not seeing good discounts, just limited ones. read more

Do NOT join is the best advice I have to give! The people at the events are great but if you are struggling with a loss of job or sudden serious illness (I am personally experiencing BOTH) they will NOT be flexible or give you helpful options! This is a scam and the events are NOT covered in the membership!!! It IS a great place if you have disposable income in which case I say mazel tov! PS A LOT of San Jose members end up traveling up to SF us to lack of variety/consistency in SJ events so good luck with that! read more

I signed up for this for a year paying 147.40 because I got a six month freeze in order to pay for it due to not affording $150. I was told there were tons of activities to do in a month. Well, most of these activities comes with another high cost to attend. Not only that most people don't even show up so not a lot of people to interact with. In order to get to any activities am driving an hour or longer to get to these activities although I was told they were in Atlanta mainly. 2K waisted to make friends and suffering monthly trying to pay this because they won't let you cancel your contract without paying the full amount. I honestly believe this whole thing is a scam. read more

Don't sign up. I regret it. Spent about 3k to sign up for two years. Found out I didn't like it. Can't cancel my membership or get a refund of any kind because I missed the 3 day refund policy. Use meetup apps. They provide the same serve and are free. read more

There are never events available, everything is always full besides a few boring online events. I am never able to enrol on anything, this is supposed to be for busy professionals, but you have to stay like a college student trying to enrol classes, just waiting and waiting to see if someone drop from the few decent events they offer. I asked to terminate my contract because I haven't been able to get into any slightly decent event and they said I can get out of the contract as long as I paid them $1400 dollars settlement. This is an absolutely scam please stay away, they are very good at promising fantastic events and there is nothing but few dinners at a beer place and bike rides where you still have to pay and there is never space if you try to enrol any day after the second of the month. read more

Don't do it!!! it's all a scam. the promised that everything was going to be cheap going out but they failed to mention that each event still costs and it's not cheap at all. $160/month plus paying for each event!!! i'm 30 years old and they said there would be plenty of people my age and i've gone to a couple events and not one person within 10 years of my age. tried to cancel and they won't do it! do not join! read more

The events often have hosts that no show and the ones that do are senior citizens and very little turnout. The people that do go are unemployed and weird. Save yourself the time and money don't get into a contract because they will take your money. read more

I'm about 2 months in. I had some reservations, early on... from the sales pitch, to my initial experiences. It's not perfect and it's naive to expect perfection. You're not paying for someone to organize things that you could do on your own. You're paying to do fun things with people who are here for the same reason you are... to meet people and connect and maybe make friends... and maybe, maybe there's something more... but don't come in searching for it. Love is like a fart... if you have to force it, it's probably shit. I don't know about E&A in other places, but Alexa and her crew do a great job. They care about helping you have a positive experience. Sometimes the events are amazing... sometimes the events are mediocre... sometimes the events are free (unless you want food/drink)... sometimes the events are affordable... sometimes the events are Silicon Valley Software Engineer affordable... it doesn't matter. Do what you can afford, because the people are why you're there. The people make it worthwhile. The hosts are great. A lot of the members are great. They're not all gold... but really... in any group of 50 strangers, how many are you really gonna like? I think these groups beat the average. I never used to wonder how to meet people. In my 20s and early 30s, it just happened. For some reason, it got harder. It might have something to do with being in my 40s, but I feel like it's something changing in the world. So I came here to meet people... and I did. I've made friends and I hope I grow old with some of them. I've had a couple dates. It wasn't love, but it was a nice time. I don't regret a single dime I've spent on E&A... and I'm expecting to spend more. If you're looking to meet people who aren't wrapped up in marriage and kids and whatever else has them booked into eternity, E&A might be what you're looking for. Nothing is guaranteed. Your attitude can make a huge difference. Leave your expectations at the door and just come be a fun person. read more

I thankfully could smell this scam pretty quickly, before giving them any financial information. When you go on the website to find more information, nothing is there that is useful. Nothing about cost, average age of members, average ratio of women to men, etc.... Red flag. So I go and fill out their form to get more information, thinking maybe they're a bit old world, and do stuff offline. A lady contacts me via text message (very unusual for a business) to try and get me to come in to sign up. I first asked what is the cost of membership, she said it is $100 - $150 a month. Is it $100 or $150? Why give a range? Red flag. She then says that they encourage their members to commit to year at a time. My scam detector is starting to go off at this point. But I still ask if one has to sign a contract for a year, and she dodges the question at first, so I ask again. Finally she answers that yes a contract is required. This is the biggest red flag of them all. If you're a reputable business, you wouldn't be trying to keep your customers locked in a contract they don't want, but your customers should gladly be paying their monthly membership because they're getting their money's worth. Now, after reading the other Yelp reviews, I'm glad I stayed away from this. Thanks yelpers. read more

Great variety, not free but that's also why cheap and poor people aren't part of the club, opportunities to travel, and amazing network of like-minded people. read more

SAVE YOUR MONEY!!! Your paying a lot of money (down payment + monthly) for a long time. You cant break your contract. At first, I liked it, the events were fun but then I started to realize, all the events you think your paying for are free to the public, and the ones that aren't, the real fun ones, you have to pay for in addition to join. Honestly go join a group on meet-up and pay little to nothing compared to this scam!!! read more

i requested a refund after attending one event. I have moved and am no longwithing reasonable proximity of any events. i was contacted by mark owen, the owner and during our email exchange he stated that I had been harassing his female employees. The only people I have spoken to are in the accounting department regarding the status of my refund. the accounting department now requires the authorization from mark Owen to release the remainder of my refund.... read more

Some are interested in what happened with my case, so I'll say that I indeed never got my money back. My credit card company looked into the dispute I opened and said they couldn't do anything; E&A had forwarded them my paperwork showing that I'd signed up for the membership but not submitted any cancellation request. I wouldn't be surprised if Lynn had taken my handwritten cancellation request and simply thrown it away once she was behind closed doors. It's true I didn't pursue the issue, firstly because I was discouraged by others' reviews detailing the apparent futility of doing so, and secondly because I was working through a lot of emotional baggage at the time that just made me not want to deal with the problem. To summarize: 1) Don't do business with Events and Adventures. Go instead to free services like Meetup.com. 2) If you still want to, make 100% sure you won't want to cancel. You won't be able to despite their assurances otherwise. read more

WHAT A BIG WASTE OF MONEY!! If I could I would give this a ZERO star. Unless you are an engineer or a doctor or over 40 years old, you have a better chance meeting more people your own age online or through friends. After hearing about this club from different radio stations, I wanted to give the club a try. I had just ended a 2 year relationship and wanted to meet new people, get in the routine of being single and have some fun. I signed up through their website in December and got an initial phone interview. Then scheduled an in-office 12/22/10. After going through the whole interview process, question about what you like to do, what do you do, why you want to join, what can you contribute to the club etc, I find out their club fees were $2000 for a years membership AND a monthly fee!!! SERIOUSLY?!?!? WTH?!?! So I pretty much said that I can't afford $2k up-front, and the "counselor" Aaron (he works for E&A and gets a free membership, i'm guessing he gets commission for every person he signs up) arrange $100 a month all together. i joined the club even thought I was very hesitate. BAD IDEA! As part of an incentive to join the club (it was the week of Christmas), Aaron said that if I join, I would be able to attend their "BIG & COOL" New Years Eve Party. I already had plans so I didn't really care about the NYE party. But based on the photos that were shown to me from last year's NYE it looked lame. It was at a hotel in Burlingame. The fee was $150, which included entry into the event, dinner, and (maybe) drinks. Hotel stay was not included and you need to make your own arrangements. So after signing up, the first event I attend was the White Elephant. It was located at Arya in Cupertino. I was the first people to show up. About 35 people showed up, 6-7 were men! EVERYONE (other than the host) that showed up were 40+ SERIOUSLY?! I understand that it was the day after Christmas so people were probably still with family, then why schedule an event if there turn out was going to be so uneven? BIG DISAPPOINTMENT. Needless to say I canceled my membership. They have a strict 3 day cancellation policy and the fact that I signed up days before Christmas, I was extra careful of the policy. I wanted to join a club that was with people my own age (27) and a wide range of women and men. Instead I got mostly women that were talking about their kids in college... Every time I hear their radio CM I change the station. If the above is what you are looking for and you have the extra money to spend, go for it. Otherwise I would recommend Meetup.com. read more

I called them to get more info. I didn't realize this was for singles. I thought it would be something to do when my boyfriend is off sailing on the weekend and doing other activities. I told them I had a boyfriend and they said that's fine. I could still do the activities. Apparently they want to know your income and everything else. They also were calling me nonstop! I got 8 phone calls a day. So they officially were harassing me. Finally when they called me at 7:30am (on the weekend)and woke me up, I told them off. They just laughed and I hung up the phone. Later my friend told me her experience with them and that they were just after A LOT of money. No stars.. of course I can't post without clicking on a star. They're con artists! read more

The lady in the office completely misled me when I signed up for this (extremely expensive) service. First off, she said everyone in the club was a single, college educated professional - they aren't. The events are MUCH more expensive than you expect, on top of the already extremely steep membership fees. When I discovered this I tried to cancel my membership (it was under a week in), but I discovered you only have three days in which you can cancel. Be warned. Additionally, this isn't the "mainly thirties" active crew of people looking for a relationship I was led to believe. Let's be clear, it's a group of cool/interesting people, but many are much older with lifelong memberships. There are a few that are quite socially awkward. Many members express no interest in dating, they just join for the activities. College education is not a requirement, no matter what the recruiting lady tells you. You can't trust her; she'll tell you anything to make a sale. She told me the prices of the events were much lower than they actually were. Of the free events, most come with a food or beverage cost, unless it's a hike. The events themselves aren't as unique as you might hope, and the ones that are fill up very fast. The parties are extremely steep; last year's New Year's Eve party last year was $130 - far more than any local parties were charging. Also, you'll have to pay for food even if they can't (or won't) accommodate a dietary restriction (I have Celiac disease). My last complaint is that for a service offered in the most tech-centered region of the world, their website and interface are painfully outdated. Want to add an event to your Google calendar? There's no button for that. The website is clunky and not-user friendly - it's desperately in need of an overhaul to be more appealing to younger users. Bottom line, if you think this will be a crew of active, professional, college educated matches for you to potentially date - you'll be VERY quickly disappointed. This is a club geared towards older (40s and up) people who want someone else to organize events. Most people who are actually young, single and active stop attending events within a few weeks of joining and deeply regret the money spent on membership. I'd recommend Match.com events and Meetups over this service any day. It's a much better use of money and provides you with a higher quality of service that actually leads to dates. Match.com events even sends you handy notes afterwards with a roster that allows you to connect with each other (a practice Events & Adventures would be wise to adopt). For 1/10 of the cost, I'd say get a Match.com subscription and join a few Meetups. You'll pay a lot less and have a lot more fun. read more

Cons: -High pressure selling technique. -Want you to pay 1-2K upfront. -If you don't do your research, you will get screwed. They don't want you to "think" about it. They want you to just "commit" which is another way of saying throwing your money away. -Although the athletic events are fun, there are so many parks that have pick up games that you really don't need to PAY this absurd amount. Pros: -If you're older and have a lot of money and are willing to pay someone to organize events then its great. Just make sure you won't be moving out of the area! -Events were are actually kind of fun but if you take into account the the membership fee plus the additional fees per event, it all of a sudden becomes overpriced read more

Events and Adventures is a waste of my money. First of all, it's a huge financial commitment for most 20-somethings especially with meetup.com being free. Not only do you have to pay for membership, but most of the events as well. You pay a large monthly fee just to get small discounts here and there on events. Secondly, the age range is not what I expected. Most of the people are older. I wanted to join the group to find a few cool people to hang out with in a new town and it has so far been disappointing. I gave up on going after a few months and am waiting for my year to be over so I can instead use that money on doing things that will actually be worth my time. read more

I've done lots of amazing things that I wouldn't otherwise have done (axe throwing, skeet shooting, jumping out of an airplane). And I've met some very good friends here. I definitely don't recommend it if your primary goal is to meet someone to date. It happens for some people, but rarely. It is quite expensive at first, but if you renew they will usually give you pretty good deal. read more

I have been a E&A member for almost a year now (it will be a year in 2 more weeks) and will say in response to the other comments that have been made on yelp in regards to the club: - I can see how some people might be a bit turned off or intimidated by the interview process (they do ask a lot of questions) BUT there are reasons why they do this (ie. poor hygiene habits, financial stability, honesty and consistency in the answers as they ask you same questions over again at times, etc.) - The price is not cheap BUT as at some events we've been on, we've seen meetup.com people at the same location getting together and there seems to not be that many people in comparison for meetup.com groups BECAUSE it's free and people aren't accountable and tend to be flaky and not as invested when they don't invest in things financially (hence, financial stability is looked for). - I also agree that not much information is shown on the website. BUT as the whole point of the club is to go out and do/try activities and MEET OTHERS WHO ARE INTERESTED IN DOING THE SAME ACTIVITIES AS YOU, I would say that there probably ISN'T much they could put on their website since it's not like match.com where profiles show up and you contact them and go on a date. Once you do become a member, you do have access to see a calendar with the events on them and they have printed ones at the office when you go in for your interview that they will let you see. And I will be honest and say that my boyfriend and I (whom I've met through the club and have been seeing for about 11 months now) did not join the club initially to meet that special someone, but to make new friends who I can do activities with (there's a reason why it's called an "activities-based" singles group). So my advice to those who are looking to join or see if you want to join, while it is a singles' group, I think if you join expecting you are going to meet someone you might find yourself disappointed and not be able to genuinely enjoy the activities. So you should probably join if you're interested in meeting people in general (making new friends) and trying new activities. read more

THIS PLACE IS THE WORST!!! SAVE YOUR MONEY!!! DONT DO IT!!!! I "joined" this craptastic club, and was NEVER told about the cancellation policy of 3 DYAS, what kind of place has a cancellation policy of 3 days only??? NOT A GOOD ONE!!! In fact I asked the sales gal at the time of the 'interview" which I didn't know it was an "interview", and she told me not to worry about it. They are intimidating, they are only in it for the money, the events they offer SUCK and are VERY POORLY managed. It was incredibly intimidating, NOBODY is nice, friendly, or warm and welcoming at the events, even the "coordinator". SERIOUSLY PEOPLE SAVE YOUR MONEY!!! I have withdrawn from the club, and wish I never joined... I can't stress it enough. I wish more people read Yelp before they joined. I will also add, that it appears that some of the people that are writing the "positive" reviews, appear to be people that work in the office in Santa Clara! Shame on you E&A. If I could give them negative stars I would. read more

I joined Events and Adventures to get out of the house. I did almost all of the hikes and some of the happy hours. I found it enjoyable to be able and get out an do stuff. Toward the end of my membership, I got bored. You start seeing the same regular people and that is all fine and dandy, but then, you get these loud mouths that are all about "look at me" or "listen to me" or just rub you the wrong way because they are SOOO loud! They think they're being funny but to others, they're just annoying. I will admit that I did make some good friends and we still keep in touch. I do have to agree it is a lot of money to spend, and for me specifically, it was not worth it. I couldn't wait to finish paying it off so that I could stop seeing that recurring payment. I did not renew my membership. read more

I have tried twice now to join the club and have experienced very shady behavior. I have asked more specific questions about where the events are and how many active members they have. They wouldn't provide me any information about number of members or gender. Also, turns out that the club is for the entire Bay Area, so being from the South Bay, many of the weeknight events are in SF or East Bay. They ask you to join within the first 20 minutes of the meeting and I interviewed with a woman who had just joined on a month ago and had not been to any events. That did not give me any confidence to spend $2500 per year up front. Also, she said her manager would reach out to me, but two days later and no word. I want to get out and try new things, but need more assurance before I spend $2500 on a nonprofit salary. read more

Hello Yelpers. I have been a member of Events and Adventures for 1.5 years now out of their Santa Clara office and have not regretted it one bit. I hadn't ever heard of the business and was told about it by a friend of mine who heard a radio ad. I checked out their website and as many have stated there is very little info, however after a couple days I called the number and in on time was getting setup to meet with someone for what they called an interview to see if this was a good fit for me or not. I thought it was strange at first but went with it. When I arrived for my meeting, I was given a 1 page questionnaire to fill out before-hand. My meeting went smoothly as the interviewer asked me questions about myself, past relationships, and current situations. This wasn't a problem for me as I am pretty open about most things, but still a little odd. It was more conversation than interrogation though so I was relaxed. I felt no hard sell and was even asked why I would like to join. I was simply looking for more friends, and to get out of the house. If I happened to find a special person that would be an added bonus. But at least I would be getting out there, improving my social skills, and meeting new people. I was a little hesitant to sign up but I did, and I can honestly say that I have done all three got out more, improved my socials skills, and met more people. I have become more outgoing, found activities I didn't know existed, restaurants I hadn't heard of, and gone places I've never been. On top of that, I have found a huge new circle of friends from all over the bay area with different backgrounds, occupations (ie: bus drivers to teachers to rocket scientists, etc), ages, and interests. I had tried E-Harmony, Match, and a couple other sites but nothing ever came from them so it was time for a change to just meet people. And with E&A I certainly have. They are true when telling that this is not a dating service/club. You will receive no pressure or any kind of push from anyone to go on dates outside of the events. There are many people who are in it just to have fun and make lots of friends. The point of the club is to get out of the house, meet other active people with your similar interests at the events. As others have said, you get out what you put in. Yes it can be expensive to join, but then if you never go out to events or put yourself out there to get to know others/let them know you, you will feel like you were cheated. There is always something for everyone at least one day a week whether it be a social mingle, morning hike, sporting event, athletic activity, or a night out dancing. My initial 2 year sign-up is set to expire come September, and am already looking at getting that extended. Its been great to find so many people who just want to enjoy life without stress with the best part of someone else doing all the work. The last 18 months have been some of the best of my life making some of my best memories ever. More info: I wanted to add some more to my review from other comments I have read from other people. -The people in this club have their own lives just like everyone else. Some use it for their social life, some use it to supplement their existing one, and some use it to try something new once in a while. There are some very active members, and some that only go to a few events a month. -You cannot judge the club based off of one event. As I mentioned above, people have their own schedules. I went to one event well over a year ago where I was the only guy and nearly the youngest person at 30. Did I know this was going to happen? Did I care that much? No and no. I got to spend the evening talking with nearly a dozen women and all to myself. Other events have 100+ people (parties, camping trips, etc) while some dinner events may only have a dozen people. -When you sign up, you sign a contractual document saying that you will pay X amount either all up front, or in $100 payments which is what I've been doing. They will cancel your membership ($30/month) whenever you want. But that doesn't get you out of finishing the payment you agreed to So the company can pay its bills. -While its been mentioned this isn't s dating service. there are active daters in the club. We've had multiple marriages and there are multiple current engagements as well. We even have former members who stayed in contact start dating each other. So yes, its entirely possible. Just don't bet on finding "the one" at the first event you go to.because that is simply not realistic. I'm still going strong meeting new people after almost 2.5 years now. Still one of the best decisions I've ever made in my life. I'm willing to answer any questions you may have the best I can. Feel free to send me a message. read more

Horrible horrible horrible company. DO NOT JOIN. All they want is your money and you CAN NOT cancel. I have been paying them for years and I can not cancel DESPITE not being able to afford them. They are such a dishonest, money grubbing, horrible customer service company. Don't join!!!!! It's a lie! read more

This is actually a very good forum . They have an entire calendar of events lined up. A fantastic place to meet like minded people. The hosts are really friendly and fun to be with. This is good if you are a person looking for outdoor activities like bunjee jumping , biking, hiking. I would definitely recommend this. read more

My experience here was really bad I spoke to a new person there Her name is Adriana Lynn She seems like she just wanted to have me join really bad and asking me to leave money I said I didn't have any money at the moment and that I'll get pay Friday To give me some time to think As the conversation went on I asked her if she new anything about the events have you been to the events and at at least observed. She said no So I ask how do you know if I fit me or how do you know they're actually good..? I ask how much % of women and men are in the program She said there's a lot of girls I am guessing she said that since I am a guy She didn't know why she was doing the job She seem like she don't have no interest in helping As I left She said a comment So you'll be here Friday to give me your money right? She has really bad customer service It did not make me feel comfortable at all ... read more

I've been a member for 3 years and I love everything about this great group of people. It's a great way to get active and meet new people, with the potential of meeting your soulmate. I've had a lot of friends from this group and some have gotten married and started a family. A natural way to build connections with people that's better than any dating app. read more

Let me lead with I did not join this group. But I also had not read any reviews prior. So I went in with an open mind and curiosity. Now I work in sales so I know a lot of techniques and tricks. But again I tried to tell myself- have an open mind. This interview started with an application and asked a few basic questions about how I heard about them, what I am looking for and what are your hobbies. It was all pretty normal questions until they pulled out the pricing. I was complete shocked. You are required to commit to a year long contract. Book at the first interview it's $150 but if you do not book than $250 per month if you come back in the future. This is what they call a more natural way to meet other singles with common interests. Not a dating service but it is becoming more popular than online dating. Once she said that I smelled what I call in the sales industry a "used car salesman" but in this case a woman. As I started asking more about the commitments and payments. The sales representative got a bit defensive. "Yah you're right I had a feeling your availability would be kind of difficult for our event calendar. Not sure this is the right fit" (Do you not have events everyday of the week?) I ask this is a singles group so what happens if this works and I find the perfect man in three months are we kicked out? Do I have to continue my contract? This woman told me, if you start talking to a guy you can both stay in the group but that is because it might not be the right fit. Or you are still trying to keep your options open so just go to different activities without him. So this is like the real world tinder. Or the bachelor where everyone is suppose to be single, kissing other people on different dates, no but thank you I will not accept this rose. read more

What an fun and interesting way to meet a wide variety of people. It was scary at first because I was newly divorced but my friends had encouraged me to get out there a little. They do thingd that I hadn't tried before and I'm glad I did! So worth it:) read more

I love this place! It has given me great opportunities to meet such amazing people and experience lots of things. The variety of things to do is unbelievable. Activities for all ages and personalities. I have been a member for 2 years now and have made many lifelong friendships. Best decision I've made :) read more

I originally joined because I had just come out of many long years of school and I wanted to get out of the house. I didn't want to be buried in books the rest of my life. So I checked out their website. It had a picture of someone skydiving and it peaked my interest. All through school I tried to get friends to go but they always backed out. So I gave it a chance and I don't regret it. The types of events I've done are hiking, ballroom dancing, shows, clubs, and others. I didn't join to meet anyone per se, and what do you know, it did happen. I met the most amazing woman I've ever come across. We've been having fun ever, since with and without E&A. read more

I joined Events & Adventures in November of 2009. What a ride. It's been GREAT! I wasn't looking to meet a man. I was looking for new friends, single friends. All my friends were married and it was awkward being the third wheel all the time. So I called E&A on a Tuesday, signed up on Saturday, and my first event was the next day on Sunday, and that's when I met the most amazing man, now known as "my Husband." I met him at my first event! Almost three years later we got married barefoot on the beach in Kona, HI. How romantic is that. I met lots of people through E&A and made lots of new friends. We do things outside of E&A too, which was the main reason I joined to begin with. I've done things I wouldn't have done on my own like indoor skydiving, indoor rock climbing, camping, go to parties, i.e., New Year's Eve parties, Halloween parties, Valentine's Day parties and other parties as well. I've gone hiking, bowling, out to many great restaurants, I've been on the Christmas party bus (that was a blast by the way), out dancing, game nights, poker night, laser tag, the "over 40" pot lucks, softball games and BBQ's, cruise around the bay at Christmas for the holiday lights, Oakland A's games, Giant's games, San Jose Giant's games, Sharks games, went to a musical, played flag football, and the list goes on and on and on. So many great events! Due to my family situation I wasn't able to go to any of the out-of-town events like Italy, Christmas in New York, Hawaii, Greece, Africa, Cabo, skiing at Whistler Mountain, Skiing in Tahoe, etc., events that I would have LOVED to attend. I can't say enough good things about E&A. E&A changed my life. I'm more outgoing and I've met my soul mate. I am so happy. Thank you E&A!!! I just wish I could continue going to the events. Maybe you should start a "Married Couples Club!" read more

DO NOT DO IT! I signed up with Events and Adventures 2 years ago. I realized they HAD NO EVENTS IN MY AREA after 2 months membership. I called to cancel, and they said "We understand. We'll cancel your membership." I never went to a single event. NOW THEY CAME BACK 2 YEARS LATER DEMANDING $2,000 AND ATTACKING MY CREDIT They are hustlers, and I'm going to sue them. read more

Events and adventures I joined around February 2020 did a down payment. So in March I was going to my first event. A St. Patrick day pool party. 3 days before we had a worldwide pandemic and that shut down everything. I made two more payment and decided to cancel my membership. I call the office and asked how I can cancel my membership? They told me I could freeze my account for a couple of months. I told them that I don't see anything happening because covid was out of control. We didn't even have a vaccine. Two months passed and they took out a payment. I called again and they told me to send a letter or don't pay. I didn't pay and did hear from them all year. I thought my membership was canceled. I figured since I did pay you a good amount of money and never went to one of their events we were good. Then two weeks ago I get a call from Collections. I call events and adventures and they told me to call the Collections. I called collections and they told me they can't do anything about it. Now they want over two thousand dollars for nothing. The lady told me they had zoom calls. I joined to meet real life people not do zoom calls and chat. I could of signed up for a free dating site. Save your money because they will screw you over with their contract. read more

Yelper-ites, I am a Captain in the US Army and I moved to Santa Clara for work at the university in May 2011, when i first got here I did not know a soul. I explored the area and tried to make friends and being a single Soldier is tough, everyone you work with is married and is always doing things with their families. In fact from May 2011 til the end of the year, Dec 2011, I would work, go home, maybe go out and see a movie. Since I have joined E&A in January of this year I have gone out at least 4-5 nights a week, made great friends and have met some very interesting people. I have such a close knit of friends now that groups of us go and do our own stuff together outside of E&A. I think this is the best group of people I have meet and I encourage all you single people sitting at home not doing anything, like I was, to join this group and come hang out with us. read more
