A good night out
It's a fun night out where you get to meet new people and be social. Not all the people you meet, you hit it off with. But if you do make a connection with someone new it can be fun and interesting.
Def worth a shot for a fun night out especially with a friend

Wonderful way to meet people
Great way to meet new people in a short time bracket and make new contacts. Well organised and friendly staff onsite. Prompt response to us with matches after the event.

Join at your own risk! you have been warned
As other reviews have stated, it is very difficult to get in touch with the company. My event was cancelled the night before. Yes I was notified however the only option they gave me was to book a future event. For me this was not possible. I have sent them an email and text that I wish to get a refund however they chose to ignore. I sent 2 polite emails one week apart (ie I did not spam them) and received no response. Never been aggressive or rude in any of my emails. I have attended their event many years ago however the last 2 events I signed...Read more
up for I had to deal with this mess and I won't be fooled a third time. I understand things can happen that may require cancelling however my poor rating is mainly for the company's extremely poor customer service.2 comments
its so amazing to read such made up nonsense. As I have stated in my post, I only sent 2 emails spaced ONE WEEK apart and was very courteous. I have screenshot proof sent to product review website. Sc... Read more
ammers and thieves were never mentioned. After 2 weeks of no reply from you, I just gave up. As you guys can see from other unhappy customers, i'm not the only one who gets accused to be fake. As a paying customer, I DO NOT tolerate this sort of behavior from you. Your original post to me was that you don't know who I am and asked for my contact details. Now you deleted the post and updated it to "very easy to work out who you are" and making false accusation. That's pretty bad and funny. Just like every business, there's always happy customers and unhappy customers. I'm sure you got plenty of good ones since you still up and running. I'm not saying every client hates their experience..but that list is slowing growing my friend by your poor conduct.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Positive criticism
This company takes positive criticism for negative reviews. No direct number to call. How else can you get in touch with them? So quick to switch to the defensive mode. Join at your own peril. Remember, never complain otherwise you will be locked out. I was warned not to sign again because I have been too many times. Mind you ( 3 times). I have never heard of such a thing. It is not free I pay for it.

You have been to quite a few events. As to not have the same people meet twice we asked you not to attend future events
Just refund the money as you promised. I don't want to bounce back and forth exchanging endless emails.

A great way to meet potential partners
The great thing about these events is that you get to meet multiple potential partners who are interested in a relationship and get a face to face opportunity to see if there's any chemistry. Will attend another session.

Great night out, friendly hosts and lots of dates :-)
I've been to three of these events so far and have had a nice night out each time. The venues are well chosen and you get alot of value for the price (16ish dates). There's a really nice culture of being polite and friendly which makes it much more palatable than other forms of dating. If nothing else, it's just a nice night out. Munchies and free wine much appreciated. Hosts have been great as well.

Fun and fast way to meet 16 single people in a good location for a 8 minutes each. I would recommend you give it a try at least once. Thanks.

Always worth a try!
Great service, great host and place to meet other single people in Perth.
My experience was at the Novotel, I had 16 dates which went for 5-6 minutes each. I had a great time.

A fun night
I attended a speed dating night in Adelaide. I have attended speed dating events previously with 2 different companies.
The night was fun! The other companies had 10 dates of 8minutes each - SDA had 18 dates of 5 mins each. I was worried initially about so many dates, but having 2 breaks made the time go quite quickly and easily.
The venue was a bit run down, but it was quiet and private which allowed good conversation, and the food was great with prompt drink service.
And the price is great compared to the other companies.
I'll use SDA again.

Don’t use this company they will post your private details on the internet for leaving honest reviews
I paid for an event on November 30 2022. There was two different times on the website I personally emailed the company to ask the time . 2 hours before the event was scheduled I was told the event was canceled . If I didnt email I would of just show up . Countless emails and texts later requesting a refund I was only contacted after being aggressive . Now Im being threatened for publishing this review. And that they are going to publish reviews on my business . Firstly you can not review a business you havent used. Secondly I asked for a refund...Read more
on November 30 why take so long to reply . Anyone would get aggressive and angry . I am now taking out an intervention order on this company to keep myself safe ! Do yourself a favour use another company, they begged me to bring friends at another event due to low numbers and several guys I meet on the night also told me they got free tickets . I will see you in court They have since used my personal information and put my address on the internet so you’re personal safety will be at risk. They are lying dogs who clearly can’t take criticism and aren’t saying I loved their event ! And was banned twice ! Lies they cancel events and then don’t return your money2 comments

e messages are attached for evidence . And Ill be taking out an intervention order on your company. I have also seen you have done the same thing to other participants. Youre clearly in the wrong . And cant face the fact you took my money and didnt want to return it. Dispite countless emails and texts . You only replied once I got agressive. Then in a typical unprofessional manner like you did i the reply turn it out on me thats typical of someone whos got no valid come back .Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Yep. Highly recommended
As a way of meeting other singles, it couldnt get much easier. A nice evening with a relaxed atmosphere, five minutes with each date and a couple of breaks in between, the night is over before you know it. A day or so later you have the contact details of mutual matches. So much better than the internet sites. I will be doing this again.

This is perfect! Can't live without
This is faster than online dating which is slow dating. I was emailed some matches, went on more dates and made some friends. The best way to date in 2022.

Ripped off
They took my money but then they said I didn't pay. When I proved I did [name removed] said the night was full so I couldn't go.
The only way to contact was by email. They provide no phone number and they take ages to reply or ignore you. Very frustrating.
I asked [name removed] for a refund but she said they would not and said I would get next event for free. I agreed as i had no choice!
When next one happened [name removed] said I went to the previous one so I couldn't go to that one either!!! I couldn't believe it.
I said I would take the issue to consumer affairs and she said she doesnt take threats and banned and blocked me.
I lost my money but more than that it was such a frustrating and helpless experience.

Good chance to meet new people
I've been to a few of these events already and I've always had a good time. Some of the hosts can be a bit hit or miss, but everything is well organised and planned out. The venues they book (mainly Jade Buddha in Brisbane) are good and offer a decent feed and drinks in between sessions. If you're a bit nervous your first time, don't worry, everyone is. It's a good way to get social and an all round good night out. Have a go.

Cancelled the event the night before, no refund
One night before the event, they cancelled the Perth speed dating event. When I asked for a refund, they refused. Horrendous customer service, and would definitely not recommend. Really disappointing.

future event, however I replied that my "background is in the legal profession, and I am usually unable to attend such events as I travel so much; and this was the only one that worked. Given Speed Dating Australia cancelled the event, and I am unlikely to attend an event within my age bracket within the next 12 months, I don't think it's unreasonable for Speed Dating Australia to provide a refund in this instance." This statement is reasonable, and not rude and aggressive as you claim. I have since followed up with you via email a number of times asking for an update, however have been ignored. The only unfair part about this is that you refuse to provide a refund or act in good faith for an event you cancelled.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Good fun but full on
It was fun night and good way to meet new people. I just think 20 dates were many. . it would be also nice to have a minute break between each date. It will help with transitioning between people.
Overall it was a cheerful and fun experience.

Good fun, nice people
It was a good night - friendly people, good banter and a free drink as well as some nibbles. Almost too many people to meet but it's great to have lots of different people to chat to
