Why Us
Here are just three reasons we make a great wingman!
Feel Good Events
We love what we do, and that’s why we’re so great at it! Our fantastic hosts take real pride in ensuring an excellent guest experience, tailoring their approach to suit your style in a playful yet tactful way. Our themed nights, featuring engaging icebreakers, are designed to fast-track introductions—taking interactions from awkward to awesome. This allows you to quickly figure out if your date is a good fit, all while having a ton of fun along the way!
A Personal Approach
Our Founder, James, personally hosts most of our events (he’s a busy guy), so there’s a good chance you’ll meet him if you come along. James and a small team of hardworking, charismatic, and personable hosts guarantee that your experience will be stress-free, comfortable, and fun. We love hearing stories about friendships formed, new relationships blossoming, or even just that extra spring in your step—dating events should be loads of fun, but your experience is serious business.
Balanced Gender Mix
We know your positive experience depends on meeting as many great people as possible—guys or girls, we’ve got you covered. That’s why we put in so much effort to ensure a balanced gender mix at all our events. We use a variety of methods to spread the wonderful word of It’s a Date, which means not only will you meet lots of lovely people, but they will be a really diverse bunch too; Typically, very international from all walks of life, a real slice of colourful London.
We can’t wait to hear your opinion, in the meantime, here are other guest views of our events.
Glen Ocsko
There are many speed dating services out there, but few consistently deliver events as high quality as It's a Date do. Participants are invariably equal in numbers (which is no mean feat), the venues are always top drawer, and the host is the perfect blend of friendly and encouraging to all involved. If you want an evening of laughter and fun and meeting new people then you can't go wrong by joining them for a wonderful night out.
Michael Green
Good fun event with a good mix of people. James was a great host, welcoming to all and ensuring that people had introductions to make the evening conversations flow easily.
Charlotte Perez
I had a lovely time at my first It’s A Date event yesterday! I met some really kind people and made wonderful connections. It was a very well organised event at a beautiful venue, and I will most definitely be joining the next ones. James & Ricardo are phenomenal hosts. They welcomed me with such warm presence when I arrived and stayed with us all night to make sure introductions were made and everyone had a chance to get to know one another. It felt safe and it was really great fun. Thank you!
Caitlin Gulliford
Speed dating was great, and It’s A Date is so well organised. James and the team are super supportive and enthusiastic about making sure the events are smooth and enjoyable. The events they offer are the ideal alternative to the apps (which are the worst we can all agree), and it was a really good group of guys and girls when I attended my first event. I’m definitely looking forward to trying out more events!
Eleri Coulten
Just wanted to say a huge thank you to James and the team behind It’s a Date. I had such a fun night. And the most important bit - it was so relaxed and welcoming - had no issues going by myself. Really nice to meet new people. Thank you - nicely done 👌🏼
Zelda McKay
I had such a fun night! James is a warm and welcoming host, he had curated a great atmosphere. I met loads of interesting people and I felt relaxed and happy throughout.... and I've got a hot follow up date this weekend. Result!
Harsh Chandra
Amazing organisation skills. I recommend this to everyone who needs to find someone on the city. James is awesome in organising this to the perfection.
Jen deMendonça
Great evening. I went on my own and felt immediately comfortable. The host was brilliant - super friendly and making everyone feel at ease. Easy location for me and nice space in the bar - I stayed for more drinks afterwards!! They seem to get a mix of really good people… I’ll definitely be recommending to all my single friends.
Ben Phillips
The inaugural board game speed dating event at Draughts, Waterloo was one of the best dating events I've attended. Great range of games to play, with a high ratio of women whose company I enjoyed and plenty of time to get to know each of them well enough. Thanks for organising, I'll definitely see you again!
