Success Stories 💑

Many have already found love

“I would like to let you know that last month,

I attended one of your speed dating nights in Hardware Lane and met the most beautiful girl. We connected and you sent our numbers to us.
We met up again the next day and have been on many dates and have spoken every day, for hours It’s been 6 weeks + and going strong.
Just wanted to let you know of one of your success stories. The future looks bright.
We recommend your speed dating nights to every single person we speak to. It was so much fun. Thank you.”

“I just wanted to let you know…

That I won’t been attending your next event. I had already purchased the ticket earlier… I attended the last event and had a wonderful time… after I worked up the courage to actually walk in…
I was so nervous and almost didn’t go in but I am really glad I did I have made a connection with a great guy and am looking forward to pursuing that and seeing how we go.

So thank you for all the effort in putting these events together… don’t worry about giving me a refund on the ticket, maybe you can give that to someone that rocks up on the night without a ticket as I know how hard They are to get. thanks so much again.”

“When I went to my first speed dating event, I had zero expectations

– less than zero actually.
But yup, when I walked into that bar, I saw him and went all nervous.
I wouldn’t say our first conversation was scintillating. I don’t even remember what small talk we made – maybe our jobs.
At the end of the event, I saw him sitting alone and asked whether I could sit next to him. He said he wanted to see me again and I said the same.
We are now happily and exclusively together. If I have any advice to give anyone, it would be to give speed dating a try. I was lucky to have found my person the first time around. But I had been online dating for a year with no success.

You may not find someone the first time or the 10th time, but at least these guys take the trouble to show up and put their best foot forward. They are making the effort which is more than I can say for some people on online dating sites – and that’s not even counting the sleazeballs.
– a happy attendee”

Whether you’re a die-hard Melburnian or a newcomer, you’ll find our events an ideal setting to meet exceptional singles who are all seeking that special spark.

Why Melbourne Loves Speed Dating Social Melbourne’s charm is in its diversity and vibrancy, which is exactly what we bring to our speed dating events. With venues ranging from chic bars in hidden laneways to elegant spaces overlooking the Yarra, our events are carefully chosen to enhance the experience of meeting potential partners in exciting, comfortable settings.

Explore Our Varied Speed Dating Options Our tailored events cater to various age groups and interests, ensuring that everyone can find their match:

  • Youthful Fun for the 20s and 30s: Dive into a fast-paced evening of dating with others who share your zest for life. Perfect for young professionals and creatives looking to expand their social circles.
  • Sophisticated Encounters Over 40s: For those who prefer a more measured pace and deeper conversations, these nights are designed to foster connections that go beyond surface-level interactions.
  • Christian Speed Dating: Find companionship or a potential love interest in a faith-centred environment where values and beliefs pave the way for deeper connections.
  • Asian Speed Dating: A respectful, culturally aware space for Asian singles to meet, blending traditional and modern approaches to dating.
  • LGBTQ+ Speed Dating Nights: Inclusive events that provide a safe and vibrant environment for the LGBTQ+ community to meet and mingle.

My friend jokes about their assembly line efficiently, but being introduced to a bunch of singles in one evening definitely has its advantages. For one, you know everyone’s paid so they’re serious and less flaky. And you can select an event based on age group, lifestyle or ethnicity; such as over 40s nights, LGBTQ and Christian singles events in Victoria.

Choose the right age bracket

Before you start your first speed dating event it’s important to choose the right age bracket. That way you know everyone is at a same life stage as you. Our singles events cover everyone from their 20s right up to over 60s.

Speed Dating 20s

This if for you millennials, so if you’re over 20 and looking for love, ditch Hinge and come meet some people face to face. Try and arrive 15 minutes early, you’ll be greeted by friendly hosts and go on a series of 12 mini dates. Great venues in Brunswick include the Noisy Ritual while those residing closer to the CBD should try Storyville for that chance to meet your next match.

Speed Dating 30s

I know it sucks being in your 30s and single but our 30s speed dating Melbourne events lets you connect with other young adults. So if you’ve been through a breakup or ready to get out of that situation ship, you’ve still got plenty of time to meet someone new. Many people in this age group are also young professionals so if you’re ready to find your next long term relationship, come meet some people in person.

Speed Dating over 40s

Speed dating in your 40s does have some advantages, for one most people know what they want and don’t waste time. So even if you’re getting back into the game after divorce, many in this age range are single parents. I know if can feel like we’re back to square one but everyone’s in the same basket.

Speed Dating over 50s and 60s

Speed dating for over 50s and 60s is a fun social way to get back out and find someone to share your life. Love is for everyone, so even if you’re widowed or searching for love after a marriage breakdown, there’s still plenty of time for you to share your golden years with your next potential love interest. And our over 50s singles events aren’t just for retirees, there’s heaps of fun people so come check us out!

Our events are held at various chic and cosy venues across Melbourne, from bustling bars in the CBD to intimate settings in the suburbs. Venue details are provided upon registration to ensure privacy and exclusivity for attendees.

The dress code is generally smart casual. We encourage you to dress in a way that feels both comfortable and confident, reflecting your personal style while being appropriate for a social dating setting.

Typically, participants will meet between 15 to 25 other singles in one night. Each mini-date lasts about five minutes, designed to provide a quick introduction and sense of whether there’s mutual interest.

If both you and another participant indicate mutual interest, you will both receive each other’s contact details within 24 hours after the event. This allows you to continue getting to know each other and perhaps arrange more dates.

Absolutely! Attending with a friend can make the experience more enjoyable. Ensure your friend also registers and purchases a ticket for the same event as spaces are limited.

 Tickets can be cancelled with a full refund up to 30days before the event. Cancellations made within 30 days of the event may not be eligible for a refund, but can be transferred to a future event date.

Safety is our top priority. All venues are chosen for their safety features and a welcoming environment. Our staff are trained to manage the events professionally and discreetly, ensuring a comfortable and secure experience for all participants.

Of course! I know there’s many dating apps, but maybe that’s the reason why. I think it’s for all those people who are tired of being ghosted or no replies and just looking to cut straight through to that first dating without messaging for 5 hours. I’ve been to a few and there’s always more then 40 people and hosted multiple nights per week in Melbourne.
My friends ask me this all the time and the answer is a resounding yes. I know it’s easy to be sceptical and hey, who’d actually want to have their heart broken. But speed dating is essentially meeting a bunch of people in an evening. Think about it, if you kept having 20 dates each night, of course you’d eventually find your next partner.

Yes, we ask all attendees to:

  • Be respectful and polite to all participants, regardless of whether there’s a perceived match.
  • Stay within the allocated time for each date to ensure everyone has a fair experience.
  • Be discreet in your interactions and when discussing the details of your matches.

Yes, everything costs money and why shouldn’t it? If someone offered you a free parachute, would you jump out of an aeroplane with it? Of course not. That’s because you expect to pay for things of value and speed dating is no different. Besides it’s only $30 bucks for 15 dates. That’s like $2 a date which seems like pretty good value to me.
