So myself & 3 of my friends thought we were going to the speed dating event in Balham last night. We got there and the man behind the bar said it was cancelled & it wasn’t the first time this had happened at this venue. We didn’t even know about it or get notified of this via email or anything….
Still not heard anything back from anyone about why it was cancelled & obviously no refund?
The man behind the bar also said it wasn’t the first time they’d cancelled last min..
A refund or explanation would be fair enough wouldnt it…

Hi Leon,
We're very sorry that you and your friends had a disappointing experience.
Unfortunately, the event had to be cancelled due to low numbers. Cancellation emails were sent to all booked attendees in advance, so we're sorry if you didn't receive yours. We'd also recommend checking your spam or junk folder, as emails can occasionally be filtered there.
We would, however, like to clarify the position regarding refunds. The two other members of your group who booked through Eventbrite were refunded **before the scheduled start time of the event**.
Despite carrying out extensive searches, we have been unable to locate a booking in your name. We have contacted you directly asking for your booking details, and we've also requested this information via Trustpilot, but unfortunately we've not received a response.
Without being able to identify your booking, we cannot process a refund. We are more than happy to resolve this matter as soon as we can locate your reservation.
Please email us at **[enquiries@dateinadash.com](mailto:enquiries@dateinadash.com)** with your Eventbrite ticket, booking reference or the email address used to make the booking, and we'll investigate it immediately.
DateinaDash has been organising speed dating events since 2011 and has hosted thousands of successful events. We appreciate that cancellations are disappointing, but we are committed to ensuring that eligible customers receive the appropriate refund or transfer once we are able to verify their booking.
Regards, Rob.
Lots of cancellations
Back in the day it wasn't that hard to book an event with Dateinadash and actually meet people. In fact, it was not unusual to meet more people at their events compared to other companies. This allowed me to tolerate some of their flaws.
What are those flaws?
Their events can be quite chaotic and disorganised. I was given a scorecard but there were no name badges so it makes it harder to write down someone's name, especially in a loud room. This makes it harder to match with people.
The hosts which I have met could have been more approachable and shown a bit more enthusiasm for the job. Unlike other events I have been to they have a tendency to isolate themselves from the crowd rather than make people feel welcome.
The matching system on their website has issues. Some of the women did not appear on the list to match with. I understand this may be because their details were not provided to the organiser to create a profile. Its possible that some of these were added at a later date but once you submit your matches the website does not allow you to add any more making it impossible to match with these people. A lot of the women also did not have profile pictures - this is a big issue if you have two of them with the same name!
I tolerated all of the above because the other speed dating companies are not perfect. However, more recently they have been cancelling a lot of events and it seems that they can no longer reliably go ahead with the bookings that they take.
The speed dating industry does appear to be going through a challenging time at the moment and other providers have adjusted their event schedules in order to reflect this. It looks like Dateinadash are keeping the number of listed events the same as usual and increasing their cancellations instead. Eventually I got fed up with this and asked for a refund. The owner initially refused a refund citing their terms and conditions as if they were superior to consumer rights law. When I challenged this he agreed to a refund on the condition that they would not accept future bookings and asked me for the last 4 digits of my card number. This was provided to them but after this point I received no further communication or refund. I eventually got my money back by going to my bank and doing a chargeback.
UPDATE
A few points I would like to challenge in the owners response:
- A lot of other companies use name badges to help with the matching process. If you had a decent website where people could easily recognise those who they met then maybe these would not be necessary.
- I don't know for sure if a refund was issued before I started the chargeback process but I did wait a few days for you to reply before doing this. I would consider it reasonable to expect you to reply to indicate that a refund had actually been issued.
- Describing my communication as hostile is unfair considering that you did not reliably provide a service that I had paid for. My initial refund request was politely worded.
- I don't care that you are not willing to accept future bookings as I had no intention of making them anyway. The reason I mentioned it is because I think its important for people to see how you deal with complaints. You obviously have a right to choose who you do business with but I think it reflects badly upon you if that is your preferred way of responding to people.
- It is not unreasonable for reviews to reflect a customers most recent experience with a business. I think most people would agree that any satisfaction from past experiences is irrelevant if the service is not what it used to be. People reading this can decide for themselves but the direction of travel seems clear to me.

Hello Chris,
It’s interesting that after attending 22 of our events over a long period of time, this reviewer never once left a positive review or piece of feedback when they were happily continuing to attend event after event.
We’re not claiming we’re perfect. Running live events in London is challenging and, like every company in the industry, there are occasions where events need to be cancelled or venues changed due to numbers or venue issues. However, the picture painted here is simply not representative of the experience the vast majority of our customers have.
In fact, one of the reasons this customer continued attending 22 separate events is likely because our events historically attracted strong numbers and offered the opportunity to meet a lot of people in one night — something they acknowledge themselves in this review.
A few points also need correcting:
* Name badges are not used at many of our events intentionally, as a large number of customers prefer a more natural environment rather than feeling like they are at a corporate networking event.
* Profile photos are optional because many people value privacy when using dating services.
* If a guest registers very late or attends as a walk-in, their profile can occasionally appear later on the matching system, but we are always happy to manually assist with matches if contacted.
As for refunds, this customer was refunded. The reason communication stopped was because, after repeated complaints and hostility towards staff, we made the decision not to accept future bookings from them. That is entirely within our rights as a private business.
We appreciate constructive feedback from genuine customers, but we also think prospective attendees should note the context here: someone who attended 22 events with us over an extended period clearly saw value in what we offer for a very long time before deciding to post a lengthy negative review.
UPDATE
What I personally find disappointing is the character shown here. For a long time you attended events regularly, were friendly and pleasant in person, continued rebooking, and never once expressed these views publicly or left a positive review about any of the experiences you clearly enjoyed enough to return to 20+ times.
Yet the moment an event was cancelled, despite a refund already being processed, you escalated to a chargeback and began posting negative comments online.
People reading this can make up their own minds, but I do think it reflects poorly on someone to happily support and participate in a business for a long period, only to turn hostile the first time something does not go their way.
Loyalty and trust matter to us. We are not interested in hosting people who are happy to smile to our faces in person for months or years, only to turn hostile online the moment something does not go their way. Your actions have damaged your own credibility far more than they have damaged ours.
Regards, Rob.
Absolutely awful experience
Absolutely awful experience. This was a gay speed dating event that got cancelled just 5 hours before the start time after people had already planned their evening around it. Then came the worst part: over two and a half weeks of completely ignoring my emails when I asked for a refund.
Before booking, I had seen other reviews mentioning last-minute cancellations and difficulties getting refunds back. Unfortunately, from my own experience, those complaints turned out to be completely true.
They seem happy to keep posting new events every couple of weeks, but based on my experience, I seriously question whether they ever manage to get enough people for these events in the first place. At this point it feels like they keep taking bookings without being able to properly deliver the events they advertise.
No communication. No apology. No refund. I eventually had to dispute the payment with my credit card company just to try to get my money back.
If you’re considering booking, be careful. This experience left a really bad impression.

Hello Hao,
We are sorry you were disappointed that the event did not go ahead, however a number of the claims in this review are simply untrue.
Firstly, the event was not cancelled “5 hours before” as stated. Guests were notified the day before the event.
Secondly, your statement that there was “no refund” is also incorrect. A refund was processed. Raising a chargeback after this does not change that fact.
We also reject the suggestion that our events “never get enough people.” We have successfully operated speed dating events across London since 2011 and continue to host thousands of attendees every year. In fact, the last gay speed dating event we held prior to this review went ahead successfully on Saturday 9th May.
Unfortunately, cancellations can occasionally happen in live events, particularly within smaller niche categories where attendance numbers are more unpredictable. We understand this can be frustrating when people have planned their evening around attending, but portraying this as some sort of ongoing scam or pattern of non-delivery is simply inaccurate.
What is also worth noting is that people are generally far more motivated to leave reviews after a disappointment than after a successful night. The vast majority of guests who attend enjoyable events, make matches, or have positive experiences simply carry on with their lives without posting online about it.
We always aim to communicate with customers fairly and resolve issues appropriately, but we also expect reviews to remain factual rather than exaggerated.
Regards, Rob.
Terrible event experience
Terrible event experience. Avoid this company. They are only interested in taking your money and are not interested in organising a good event.
We arrived at the event, as other people did too, only to be told the event time and location had changed at the last minute. Because of these changes we could not attend the event. We asked for a refund from Rob, the organiser. Still no response. Do not book with this company. If you do make sure to book with a credit card so you can claim your money back through the bank when the event is cancelled, relocated to a different venue or the event time changes

Hello Ian,
The information in your review is not accurate.
The event was not changed at the last minute. All booked attendees were notified of the venue and time change the day before the event by email, and text message reminders were also sent.
Unfortunately, we cannot be responsible if attendees do not read the communications sent to the email address and mobile number provided at the time of booking.
The event proceeded successfully at the revised venue and many attendees attended without issue.
We also reject the suggestion that we are "only interested in taking your money". DateinaDash has been running singles events since 2011 and has organised thousands of successful events for tens of thousands of attendees over the past 15 years.
As you have not provided your booking details, we are unable to comment on any specific correspondence. However, we maintain that attendees were given advance notice of the changes and that the event went ahead as planned.
Regards, Rob.

Hi Stephen,
Thanks so much for the lovely review! We’re really pleased you enjoyed the event and had the chance to meet a great mix of people in such a central London venue. It’s exactly why we love bringing singles together face-to-face — a refreshing change from dating apps and a much more natural way to connect.
We also appreciate you mentioning the venue update emails. Occasionally venues can change due to circumstances outside our control, so we always make sure to notify guests in advance by email to keep everyone updated.
Regards, Rob.
Very poor experience with Date in a…
Very poor experience with Date in a Dash and I would strongly advise people to be cautious before booking.
My original event was cancelled by the company. Instead of providing a refund, I was automatically rebooked onto another event which I was unable to attend due to the new date/location not being suitable for me.
Despite this, the company refused to refund me and continued to rely on their terms and conditions rather than taking any responsibility for the fact that it was their cancellation which caused the issue in the first place.
I have a full email trail to back all of this up, including confirmation from the company regarding the cancellation and subsequent rebooking.
After looking through other reviews, it appears I am not the only customer this has happened to, which is concerning. Please take caution when booking, as your event may be cancelled and you may then struggle to obtain a refund.
Extremely disappointing customer service and handling throughout.

Hello Jim,
We take customer feedback seriously, however we cannot locate any attendee or booking under this name in our system, nor can we find any correspondence matching the details described.
When events are occasionally rescheduled or cancelled, all customers are contacted directly with their available options in line with the terms agreed to at booking. We always aim to be fair and transparent throughout the process.
We would encourage the reviewer to contact us directly with their booking reference and the email address used to book so we can investigate this properly, as at present we have been unable to verify that this review relates to a genuine booking with DateinaDash.
Regards, Rob.
Cycle of Cancellations
They don’t give refunds when they cancel events. You can only go to another event, which they can also cancel. I’ve had 5 events cancelled in a row…
The wild thing I find is Rob picks fights with reviewers. I’ve seen some pretty incendiary stuff. Nothing says touchiness quite like trying to argue away problems…

Hi Joseph,
Thank you for your review.
We are sorry that a number of your booked events were cancelled. Unfortunately, event cancellations can occasionally occur where attendance levels are insufficient or due to venue-related circumstances outside our control.
However, some important context is missing from your review.
You have attended numerous DateinaDash events over a prolonged period and have continued booking with us despite the frustrations you describe. In fact, according to our records, you have attended well over 10 events with us.
Whilst we fully appreciate that repeated cancellations are disappointing, we do find it difficult to reconcile the suggestion that DateinaDash is such a poor experience when you have repeatedly chosen to attend our events over a considerable period of time.
Our transfer policy exists to ensure customers do not lose the value of their booking when an event cannot proceed. The vast majority of transferred bookings are successfully rebooked onto future events and attended without issue.
We recognise that cancellations are frustrating and we continually work to minimise them. However, this review does not reflect the many events you have successfully attended with us over the years.
Regards, Rob.
Read the reviews on here and Google before booking any events with this company
I attended a DateinaDash speed dating event and paid extra for the no-match guarantee. I didn’t receive any matches, which is fine, but I had to chase multiple times to redeem the promised gift certificate and still km didn’t receive it for another speed dating event.
Rob, who runs DateinaDash, gave vague and minimal email responses. I followed up several times but didn’t receive a proper resolution. Based on my experience, the no-match guarantee was not honoured.
Customer support was slow, which made the whole process frustrating and not what was advertised. I would suggest being aware that the guarantee may not be straightforward to redeem.
Reading reviews on Google and Trustpilot, it seems DateinaDash has a number of similar issues with customer service, event cancellations and refunds.

Hi Adam,
Thanks for your review. I’m sorry you felt frustrated with the follow-up process.
However, I do need to clarify that the no-match guarantee only applies where a guest receives no mutual matches and has followed the terms of the guarantee. In this case, you were not eligible for the guarantee because you selected “Yes” to multiple people at the event. The guarantee is not intended to apply where a guest has actively chosen people they would like to match with.
I appreciate that it can be disappointing not to receive mutual matches, but this does not mean the guarantee was not honoured. It means the eligibility criteria were not met.
I always try to respond to customer queries as clearly as possible, and I’m sorry if you felt my replies were not detailed enough. DateinaDash has been running events for many years, and while I cannot guarantee chemistry or mutual interest, I do aim to run fair, enjoyable and well-organised events for all guests.
Regards, Rob.

The Devonshire Terrace, City Of London
I attended a gay speed dating event organised by DateinaDash, and overall it was a really enjoyable experience. It was my first time going to something like this, so I was quite nervous at the start, but everything turned out well. The venue was lovely and had a comfortable, welcoming atmosphere.
I went with my best friend, which helped ease the nerves, and the speed dating itself was well organised and fun. I ended up having a great time, meeting new people, and even making some good connections. After the event, a group of us went out for drinks and food, which made the whole evening even better.
However, I experienced an issue with the matching system afterwards. We were given a link to submit our matches online, but my profile didn’t include the option (the yellow section) to “add matches,” unlike my friend’s. Because of this, I wasn’t able to submit my matches at all.
I contacted both the enquiry email on the website and the event host. They mentioned there was an issue and advised me to try again, but it still didn’t work. I followed up again explaining that I was having trouble navigating the website and submitting my matches, but I haven’t received a response since.
Overall, it was a fun and memorable night, but the post-event process and lack of follow-up support were disappointing.

Hi David,
Thanks so much for taking the time to share this - I’m really glad to hear you had such a positive first experience at one of our events with DateinaDash. It’s completely natural to feel nervous before your first speed dating event, so it’s great that you came along with your friend and ended up having a fun, social evening and making some meaningful connections. That’s exactly what we aim for.
I’m really sorry to hear about the issue you experienced with the matching system afterwards - that’s understandably frustrating, especially after such a good night. It sounds like there may have been a technical glitch with your profile not displaying the “add matches” section properly, and we should have followed up more promptly to get that resolved for you.
If you’re happy to do so, please send us your name, the event you attended, and (if possible) the names of the people you wanted to match with. We’ll manually check and process your matches for you to make sure you don’t miss out on any connections.
We also appreciate your feedback regarding the lack of follow-up - that’s something we take seriously, and we’ll use this to improve our post-event support going forward.
Thanks again for your kind words about the event itself, and we hope to see you again soon - next time with a smoother experience all the way through.
Regards, Rob.

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback! We’re really glad to hear you had such a great time at the Tattershall Castle event.

Very Dissatisfied 😔
Avoid this company based on my experience. The event I attended was poorly organised, with people not turning up and last-minute cancellations.
I was told to contact the organiser but received no response to messages or emails. When I arrived at a follow-up event, I was initially told it was cancelled, but it later appeared to go ahead with uneven numbers.
Overall, the experience felt inconsistent and frustrating.
Update: Rob is correct about me attending without obtaining confirmation in advance, this is because all of my calls and e-mails were not responded to, my requests were made before the follow up event I attended was fully booked.

We strongly dispute this review.
You did not have a valid ticket or booking for the event and arrived without registering in advance. As clearly stated in our booking process, all attendees must have a confirmed place so we can ensure balanced numbers and a properly run event. Unfortunately, this means we cannot accommodate walk-ins.
The event itself went ahead as planned, was fully organised, and ran to schedule with confirmed participants. There were no issues with attendance or structure.
It’s disappointing to receive a negative review based on an event you did not take part in. We always encourage anyone wishing to attend to book in advance so they can experience the event as intended.
Regards, Rob.
Decent night out
The evening had a good turnout and used a standard speed‑dating format with four‑minute rounds. The Clapham venue, however, felt cramped, and a larger area would be beneficial and improve overall conversation quality.

Unprofessional and unethical
Reposting this review following another attempt by the company to have it removed. This time, it was flagged for including the name of the individual I have been dealing with - despite the fact they publicly sign their own name within replies to reviews. This follows a previous instance where the company published my personal data in their response, which Trustpilot subsequently removed.
This raises concerns about inconsistency and suggests a greater focus on suppressing customer feedback than addressing the issues raised.
I am continuing to escalate this matter through formal channels, as the company has been unable to resolve concerns in a timely or appropriate manner.
The company is entitled to respond to my review as they wish, however all of my claims are fully documented and verifiable. If any statement is inaccurate or unlawful, they are welcome to pursue it through the appropriate channels. My review will be removed if their claims are proven correct…
—
Original review with the persons name removed:
I attended a speed dating event and was unable to send match requests to the people I wanted to afterwards - defeating the whole purpose of paying for a speed dating event! The issues I experienced boil down to poor event management and the company’s last minute merging of two events (which has been confirmed to me by another guest I met on the night).
The company also tried to coerce me into deleting my online reviews in exchange for a full refund. They also publicly disclosed my name in response to my anonymous review, demonstrating a lack of understanding and/or care for protecting customers’ personal data.
I’ll let quotes from their emails speak for themselves:
• “Yes there was an issue with the matching which I apologise for”
• “I acknowledge the issues it happens but you seem hell bent on damaging a reputation to get your money back”
• “I do not believe slandering a small company online is of any benefit to anyone”
• “If you wish to draw a line under this then you can remove your reviews on both Trustpilot and Google which IMO do not paint a fair reflection of the event and I can process the refund”
• “So if you wish to remove the reviews and draw a line under it then I will need your ticket and the last 4 digits of the card used?”
• “If you want this matter swiftly resolved and to draw a line under it then remove the reviews and send me the last 4 digits of the card used because I do not believe they are fair or accurate”
• “Please send me your last 4 digits of the card used and do the right thing and remove the reviews and we can draw a line under this”
Despite explicitly acknowledging the problem with the matching system, I have not received a refund. The company’s conduct demonstrates coercion, mismanagement, and disregard for customer rights and data protection. Multiple other reviews online report poor communication, cancelled or merged events, and unfulfilled refunds, showing this is a pattern rather than an isolated incident.
I cannot in good faith recommend this service and shall be reporting them to Trading Standards.
Update: The company flagged this review as containing “harmful or illegal content.” Trustpilot has since investigated and confirmed it does not contain such content. Trustpilot have also sent a warning to the company regarding their attempts to force me to delete my review, as well as removing their response which disclosed personal data without consent.

Hi An,
Your review contains a number of incorrect assumptions which need to be addressed.
The event was not merged with another event. There were two separate events taking place at the same venue at the same time. All attendees were checked in correctly, and you were directed to the correct area on arrival. However, you were seated in the wrong section, which meant you met some attendees from the other event. This is why some of the people you met did not appear on your matching list afterwards.
We responded to your initial email promptly and agreed a resolution with you. At your request, we contacted the individuals you named. Once that was done, the next step was to wait for those individuals to respond. There was nothing further to update until that happened.
You confirmed at the time that you were happy for us to proceed in this way. You have since changed your position and stated that you are no longer interested in pursuing those connections, despite us having carried out what you asked.
As we have already contacted those individuals on your behalf, this action cannot be undone. If any of them respond, we will handle those responses appropriately.
For clarity, we do not require customers to remove reviews in order to resolve issues. The message you refer to was part of an attempt to draw the matter to a close, not a condition of any resolution.
We also note that you referenced having a positive experience with another provider, while also choosing to attend our event. We run a large number of events at competitive price points, making them accessible to a wider range of attendees, and this is reflected in the volume of positive feedback we receive.
We do not agree that your experience reflects a one-star review. You attended the event, met multiple people, and participated fully. While there was an issue with the matching in this instance, it was a limited issue rather than a complete failure of the service.
The event itself took place as advertised and for that reason we do not consider a full refund to be appropriate.
You are of course entitled to raise the matter with any third party should you wish. We are confident the situation has been handled appropriately.
We do not accept the wider claims made in your review regarding how our events are run.
We have taken reasonable and proportionate steps to assist. At this stage, there is nothing further to add.
Regards, Rob.
