About US
Hey there, fellow singles! Let me tell you about Speed Dating Social Events – the brainchild of some genius named Darcy Todd who decided in 2020 that we needed a better way to meet people than endlessly swiping on our phones while sitting on the toilet. (Don’t lie, we’ve all been there.)
So here’s the deal: We’ve hosted over 787 events and introduced more than 37,423 singles. That’s a lot of awkward hellos and “So… what do you do?” conversations. But hey, it works! We’ve had couples, friendships, and even a few marriages come out of this madness. (Still waiting on those wedding invites, guys. The audacity, I swear.)
Now, you might be thinking, “Why the hell would I want to spend an evening speed dating when I can just use Tinder?” Well, let me tell you, nothing beats the raw, unfiltered experience of face-to-face interaction. Plus, our Matching App 4.0 means you don’t have to do that awkward “So… can I get your number?” dance at the end. Just tap ‘Match’ or ‘Friend’ and boom – you’ll wake up to your matches like it’s dating Christmas morning.
Welcome to Speed Dating Social
We’ve got events for everyone – 20-somethings still figuring out how to adult, 50+ folks ready to mingle, LGBTQ+ meetups, Christian mingles (not the website, the actual mingling), Asian singles nights – you name it, we’ve probably got it. And get this: we actually ensure equal gender ratios. Revolutionary, I know.
But here’s the real tea: We’re not just about dating. We’re accidental therapists, confidence boosters, and sometimes, just a really good story to tell your friends over brunch. “Remember that time I went speed dating and the guy brought his pet ferret?” Yeah, that happened. (Pro tip: Don’t be that guy.)
What is speed dating, and how does it work?
So why choose us? Because swiping right on a photo is easy. Making a real connection with someone who might change your life? That’s the good stuff. Plus, where else can you have 12 first dates in one night and still be home in time for a midnight snack?
Come join us for an evening of mini-dates, flowing conversations, and the potential to meet someone who doesn’t think pineapple belongs on pizza. (Or does, if that’s your thing. No judgment here.)
Remember, in the game of love, you’ve got to be in it to win it. And at Speed Dating Social Events, we’re not just changing the dating game – we’re flipping the whole damn table. Let’s make some connections, create some stories, and maybe, just maybe, find your person.
Frequently Asked Questions
Listen up, you beautiful disaster. We’ve got events for everyone from fresh-faced 21-year-olds to silver foxes in their 70s. Whether you’re a bright-eyed NYU grad or a seasoned Chicago professional, we’ve got your back. Age is just a number, and at our events, that number is “yes.”
First off, that’d be adorable. Secondly, chill. Our events are like the LA traffic of conversations – there’s always something to talk about. Plus, we’ve got more icebreakers than a Minnesota winter. You’ll be fine, you lovable weirdo.
Nice try, but nope. This isn’t a Boston bar crawl. Our events are for single and ready to mingle folks only. Your bestie can wait at a nearby Manhattan pub. Who knows? You might even find them a date too.
As much as we’d love to see that, let’s aim for “first date at a nice restaurant” vibes. Think “effortlessly cool New Yorker” rather than “just rolled out of bed in Vegas.” Unless it’s a themed event, then go wild, you beautiful tropical fish.

Whoa there, picky eater. Our events focus on connections, not cuisine. But most of our venues, from Seattle coffee shops to Miami cocktail bars, offer a variety of options. If you’re worried, eat before you come. Pro tip: avoid garlic bread. Trust me on this one.
First, take a deep breath. Now slap yourself (gently). You’re at a dating event, champ! But if you freeze up like a Minnesotan lake in January, no worries. Our app lets you match after the event. Crisis averted, you adorable coward.
Is a fresh New York pizza better than microwaved cardboard? (The answer is yes). Look, apps are great for killing time on your DC metro commute, but nothing beats real-life chemistry. Plus, no one can catfish you in person. Unless they’re really, really good.
We’re spreading faster than gossip in a small Texas town. NYC, LA, Chicago, Houston, Phoenix, Philly, San Antonio, San Diego, Dallas, San Jose… if it’s a major US city, chances are we’re there or coming soon. We’re like Starbucks, but for love.
About 2 hours, give or take. It’s shorter than a Lord of the Rings movie, but longer than your attention span scrolling through TikTok. Just enough time to meet some cool people and still make it home for your favorite late-night show.
Higher than the Rockies, baby! But seriously, we’ve had countless relationships, friendships, and even a few marriages. But success isn’t just about finding “The One.” If you leave with a smile, a few new connections, or even just a funny story to tell your friends at your favorite San Francisco brunch spot, we count that as a win.
