Original Dating  Avaliações 

I attended several speed dating and quiz dating events in London with Original Dating this year. Even though I haven't met someone for a long-term relationship yet, I have gone on a few dates and even made some new friends I'm still keeping in touch regularly. As a vegan, I especially enjoy the niche events like Vegan and Vegetarian Speed Dating Event to help me connect to other like-minded people. The quiz dating events are laid-back and always a lot of fun!

Customer service is really poor! I’ve sent a number of emails in relation to a voucher credit, which no one has responded to. There is no in use telephone number to speak to anyone either, so I’m basically left being ignored.

The events are well run and the venues are well chosen. It’s also a good way to meet new people.

I have been to a few Lock and Key parties, but venue wise I found the venue at The Happenstance a little bit too small for the capacity for the event, so it was a little bit hard to manoeuvre through the crowd. Other than that I did have a good time at the event, as it had been a while since I had been to an event.

Well run event, friendly and helpful. organisers. Helen and Darren are a freak team and make everyone comfortable and welcome. Nice new venue, only downside was the bar upstairs not being open but that was the venues choice not original dating.

Really a good night. Meeting lots of interesting people that could become dates or new friends. I totally reccomended it.

absolutely load of rubbish and waste of money and time. Their refund policy is quite abusive.

I keep sending to to the email address given but nothing seems to get through. You have both my private email and telephone number. Please contact me directly.

Hosts were great and really tried, but overall the event was unpleasant. According to the website there were only a handful of tickets left for each gender with an expectation of around 80 people attended. The first sign it was not going to plan was finding the it had been moved from the ballroom to the much smaller basement bar. There were probably around 6 women and easily triple the number of men. Went outside for a cigarette just before it started and I heard the host saying to security that four of the women were no shows, so still nowhere near the expected amount that the low tickets remaining would suggest. Just led to lots of standing around and guys queueing up to interact with the ladies, just felt kinda horrible to me. I know it can't be helped whether people turn up, but the expectations for the event seemed way oversold and misrepresented.

The event was attended by 13 men and only 6 women so I spent as much time talking to men as I did women. When my ticket was purchased it was advertised as 1 male and 2 female spaces remaining, of the men I spoke to four others said exactly the same was displayed to them. I appreciate that the organisers cannot control attendance however this to me is strong evidence that they are using FOMO/false advertising to sell tickets.
The night is what you make of it and I had a fun social evening. I would attend speed dating again but not with this company as the sales strategy left a bitter taste.

Edit. ‘Likely’ added to title to reflect that this is a hypothesis based on the evidence available to me.
However with regards to making inaccurate statements I will add that despite this review being outwardly anonymous an order reference was provided at time of writing and later resubmitted with additional information at TrustPilots request.
If the content of this review is unfounded then the addition of a simple inventory system to Original Datings website would prove this.

It's raining fun and love at original dating speed dating and banter at its finest!

Excellent Host, well structured evening with time at the end to chat with people a bit longer.

It was good but the fact that they do not provide a pen and paper to write on is ridiculous. The host told me to use my phone to write down the names.

Great night, with wonderful host. Would definitely attend again.

I don't think I have ever been to a more depressing event. More men than women (although the event was sold differently), zero engagement from the host, bar of the booked room was closed. Overall a really dreadful experience.
Of course, no full or partial refund has been issued.

Oversold the event so I spent most of it on a table talking to blokes, admitted that they did not offer a good service, then refused to refund my money. Some things are out of their control, which is fine, but give people refunds in that case.

I've tried the speed dating events as well as the parties and they were well run and good fun. Only suggestion is to ask venues at the parties to have more bar staff because the queues can be long. Bit of a vibe killer to turn up and have to queue for 15mins. Prices for their events are also starting to get a bit high lately compared to competitors... Would recommend giving it a try though. Have had some success at these events and been on dates with people I met there.

Well there wasn’t enough women that came to the event last time I was there hopefully the next event will be better .

I attended the speed dating at the motley yotel in Manchester. It was very well organised and I enjoyed the experience. The host was great 😊 and it was nice to get a free cocktail. I would do again 👍

Professional and friendly staff, a relaxed and private setting… all in all a great way to spend an evening and a brilliant way to meet new people.

Whether you’re looking for true love or an entertaining night out, I’d recommend Original Dating’s nights out. I went along with a friend and we both had a fun night… and taking someone else along made the evening more relaxed too.
