Why Us
Here are just three reasons we make a great wingman!
Feel Good Events
We love what we do, which is why we’re so good at it! Our awesome hosts take real pride in ensuring guest experience, tailoring an approach to best suit your needs whilst having a lot of fun along the way. Our themed nights and ‘by Invitation’ events are uniquely designed to maximise matching outcomes whilst a strong link with our chosen charity ensures positive social impact with every ticket sold.
A Safe Space
We think our venues are some of the best in town, hand picked primarily for their ease of access and first class service. We are cheerleaders for kindness, honestly, and respect - values at the heart of our business to protect our growing community. We are in your corner, from pre-event pep talks to ensuring your data security whilst using our post-event messaging platform.
Designed for You
Because we recognise it’s sometimes less about speed and more about accuracy. We ask a little more about you to build a profile that allows us to deliver a lot more in terms of matchmaking outcomes. You will then be invited to tailored events with like minded guests that reflect your shared interests. The result - more common ground and a leg up the ladder of love. We call it It’s a Date ‘by Invitation’.
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!
