Thank you for your review, I am pleased to hear you found the event well organised and would recommend going. Regards, Rob.
These events are always a good laugh
Their events are fun and at some top venues. It definitely beats staying in. If you have no plans, grab a drink, meet some new people, and you will meet someone you like. Highly recommended!

I must say I am very happy with the way you make speed dating so much fun
I must say I am very happy with the services that DateinaDash provides. Speed dating might be a daunting thing for many people, but the staff makes it as easy and funny as possible. I thoroughly enjoyed myself, and I have met a lot of interesting people.
Keep up the great work!

Meh.
I've been speed dating with a few different companies in London, and DateinaDash was easily the worst experience I've had so far. This rating is based on the event, not on the people who attended it, or the bar staff. On the day of the event, DateinaDash announced a location change - which is fine. My complaint is that they didn't replace it with an equivalent venue, so it felt like a bait and switch. Given that Rob and his team are providing an experience and a service, it is unfortunate that they put no visible effort into curating the space in the way that other businesses do (i.e. arranging tables with numbers, providing a means to assess dates during the event, mood lighting, etc.). The bar was also open to the public, meaning that they didn't reserve it, and that you had regular patrons there as the event was going on. Odd. Plus, it's more expensive than other events that I've attended. And, if you read other poor reviews, you'll notice that Rob just blames the reviewer instead of taking the feedback to heart or committing to do better moving forward. So, to recap: an unfortunate last-minute venue, a minimal-effort event, for more money than the competition, and run by someone who someone who doesn't know how to handle feedback? No thank you.

I'm really sorry that you didn't like the venue but I have only had positive feedback about El Vino from my customers. Personally, this is one of my favourite venues and a great space for Speed Dating. Conveniently located a short walk from London Bridge station it's easy to reach and has a large selection of wines with a gorgeous 5.7% larger on draught. The inside bar was NOT open to the public but guests outside were able to use the toilets. Not sure why you claim we are the most expensive event when quite clearly we are not (just Google speed dating events in London and see for yourself!). Yes, you can find events for £13-16 on some lesser websites but quite honestly you pay for what you get. Why do you think they sell tickets at this price? Because they can't attract paying customers at £20-22. As the market leader we have more people attending our events than anyone else and that is why are tickets are priced the way they are but they are not the most expensive. Infact, I don't believe any event is worth more than £20 and I would never charge more. There are two other companies that offer their events for £22 and provide far fewer dates. Some events are also priced at £30 if you're in your 50's which is disgusting quite frankly. There are also 'Elite' events offered at £45 which are exactly the same as regular Speed Dating with no vetting or strict criteria. I'm certainly not in the business of ripping people off, infact I believe we offer excellent value for money when you compare us with the other organisations. So, to recap: a switch to a lovely venue hired exclusively for our event, far less money than the competition but twice as many dates and run by someone who cares a great deal, always goes the extra mile for customers and can certainly handle feedback if it's genuine, honest and justified which in this case it is not. Thank you!! p.s - rather than read the smidgen of bad reviews (generally left by customers annoyed by not finding a match) why not take a look at all the positive comments about DateinaDash? We have had over 60,000 people attend our events since 2011, clearly we are doing something right!
Utterly disappointed
Edit:
Thank you to the person who replied as I forgot the red straw thing - I was never given one lol. By the way, the app is called MeetUp - make yourself a favour if you're attending this mediocre event to at least go for free - app is free to sign up! I was mistaken. Info of the event claims 'Join 250 people (equal split of men and women) for London's BIGGEST Singles Party'. Baffled.
-
First timer here. Gave it a go for the sake of it. Booked an event for a Fri night mingle, in a roof top - info said there were going to be 100+ people, men and women equal, it also said to contact via email and phone number if you were running late. I messaged them and emailed them on the date of the event, at 9 am. No reply whatsoever.
Okay, I show up late and manage to get in.
The place: a tiny space, hardly fitting 20,30 people comfortably (probably less). Overpriced drinks, of course, but the view was nice. Only one space to sit.
The people: definitely less than 100+, I would say 30 max? Being generous. Way more men than woman.
Talking to other WOMEN, I find out I was the only one who paid to attend the event because there's an app that lists them for free - I feel like a clown. And oh yeah a half full glass of an ok champagne was £16.5.
Very, very disappointing 'first dating event'. I think I'll never be attending another of this type again.

The only thing baffling is this review! The customer turned up very late by which point a lot of people had already left. The area by the bar where most people were mingling was not the only space for the event. The whole purpose of our 'red straw' parties is that guests can go anywhere in the venue and they are easy to identify by the straw they are drinking through. We had 185 people booked into this event with near 50/50 split. '30 Max? Being generous' Oh give over what a load of total rubbish! Yes, there were a few more men than women but surely as you are a WOMAN this would be a positive thing no? Why are you complaining about this? No, you were not the only person to pay for a ticket but we do give a number away on Meet Up every now and then. £16.50 for a glass of champagne is reasonable considering you are on a rooftop bar in London. The reality is this event was a really good party with 150+ in attendance and a great mix of people. If you arrive late than you can expect not to be able to sit down or meet everyone. Our parties also rely on people being confident and approaching people so if you're the type of person who isn't very good at that then this party will suck (but that really isn't our fault!) Take this review with a pinch of salt!
Good time
Well organised event, had a neat time, met some neat people.

Unfortunatley the venue was changed due to unforeseen circumstances. We sent an e-mail offering to transfer to another event for the same age group in another part of London. As per our terms we do reserve the right to change the advertised venue however on this occasion we have provided a full refund to Stefani as she was unable to attend the new location. The matter has been resolved promptly (within minutes of her original e-mail) and we have apologised so I don't feel there is any need for this review. Unfortunatley there is a very bad culture of people rushing online to damage a small business if the slightest thing goes wrong. I really hope that changes in the future. Regards, Rob.
Great fun with a great host
First speed dating event, I felt relaxed and it was a fun experience overall! Met some lovely people and the atmosphere was lively. Rob was a great host and very accommodating. Would 100% recommend if looking for something fun to do in the evening.

Attended singles boat party
I've attended a boat singles party event. My expectations were really low. But it ended up being great, a lot better than I expected. The way it was organised allowed for easy socialising and breaking the ice (keys and locks was a cool gimmick imo). I met a lot of cool people, both men and women.
I would recommend this company to anyone.

It was easy going , alots of interactions, nice views , , good vibes , the hosts and securities were very informative but 4 hours on boat was a bit too long , I think 2 hours would be great 👍 I would recommend this event to friends 😀

Interesting singles event …
Singles Ghost walk was interesting singles event to attend. due to the fact that it was more casual than the usual speed dating. The walking tour was fun learning about spine chilling historical spots and it was an innovative idea

Don’t do it - lies, amateur and dodgy
The day of the event received an email informing us venue had changed - no apology no offer or refund if not convenient - some people met not of seen email (my friends I was going with hadn’t) the 1hr before start time a text saying venue change - absolute useless late communication. The original venue looked ok however the new choice of venue was appalling - drinks served in plastic cups , abysmal service. Sadly at this point seeing the clientele that were arriving for the speed dating left us in no doubt but to abort - the numbers clearly were very low and uneven it was very amateur and will never use this company again put us off for life and will advise anyone I speak to not to use dateinadash an easy way for them to take £60 which was wasted for the 3 of us

Thank you for leaving a review about your recent experience at our Speed Dating event (although given you didn't actually take part i'm not sure you should even be allowed to leave feedback!!). Let me quickly address this drivel. Unfortunatley we had to change the venue due to circumstances beyond our control. Venues can and do change from time to time and we reserve the right to change an advertised venue to another one (it's on our website, in our terms etc etc) We contacted all guests to let them know of the new location via e-mail and SMS. I disagree this was 'useless' communication but on the contrary excellent communication with an initial e-mail in the morning followed up by a text message incase some guests had missed the earlier notification (which as it happens you had...surprise there) given the new venue was less than 5 minutes walk away from the original one a text message sent an hour before wouldn't have caused any inconvenience for guests as they would have either been in the area or on the way. I'm sorry to hear that you were disappointed in the venue but really this feedback should be directed at them not us (we did not provide the drinks in plastic cups or the abysmal service!). It's very sad to hear that even in this day and age people can judge others based on what they look like. It's clear to me that you decided to leave the event due to calibre of men who turned up. Infact, you didn't even bother to sign in with the host and just left. You cannot possibly know what the numbers were or the ratio as you didn't even go upstairs. If you had contacted us via e-mail and approached this in a different way then perhaps I could have transferred you to another event but you've rushed home and jumped online to foul mouth a business that has done nothing wrong. I take great issue with the title 'Lies, amateur and dodgy' the only thing 'dodgy' about your review is the spelling. The actual Speed Dating event was well attended with a great mix of people and everyone had a good time. Regards, Rob.
Overall a really fun experience
Overall a really fun experience, would prefer to have more 10 mins breaks as it can be quite draining talking to so many people, but overall an enjoyable atmosphere!
