In-Person Speed Dating

As a reporter for LA Talk Radio.com said, “I walked through the venue without even noticing the tables of daters; events are so chic and low key you might just walk right by.” We couldn’t have said it better ourselves. Devoid of traditional party and event trimmings, we prefer a subtle, comfortable and relaxing environment. Our mobile ‘Smart-Card’ allows you to choose whom you wish meeting again, to what degree you like them and have until midnight to submit your final selections for matching. Paper scorecards are just so 2010!

“It’s actually pretty easy; the seven minutes fly by so quickly you barely have time to introduce yourself before a host appears and quietly taps the man to move down the line (in a bid for subtlety, nights are void of stopwatches, bells and whistles).”

“I pictured a snaking line of dolled-up girls changing seats at a dinging bell in front of a small handful of awkward, overwhelmed men. Somehow, that wasn't it at all. In fact, speed dating may actually be NYC's best-kept dating secret. But here’s where speed dating is completely different (read: infinitely better) than Tinder and any other dating app -- it accounts for chemistry.”

“They are changing the speed dating scene and attracting a more sophisticated crowd than ever before. Their approach to matchmaking offers a fresh alternative to contracts and commitments.”

IN-PERSON SPEED DATING FAQ

What is SpeedAtlanta Dating & UK Style?
SpeedAtlanta Dating is imported directly from the UK. It is traditional Speed Dating with an English touch. A relaxed and comfortable approach to speed dating. Rewarding lovely daters with discounts and complimentary events while saying no thank you to anyone we don't think you'll fancy meeting.

Do the British really do it better?
Most American speed dating parties are a bit like being at a college job fair. Complete with stop watches, whistles and a footie captain yelling “times up” in yer face! We at SpeedAtlanta Dating, do things a wee bit differently. We don’t find anything romantic about name tags, microphones and whistles – so we don’t use them!

Do you have to be British to attend?
Absolutely not! We are British founded and inspired but our daters are just like you.

What type of people can I expect to meet?
We tend to draw a crowd that is confident and amusing, diverse and adventurous, while always being cheeky. Daters that tend to set the trend rather than follow it. We are in part defined by our venues and our crowd reflects such.

How do I reserve my place?
Simply select the Event Schedule for a listing of our events. Register online and you're all set! No paper tickets are required. You will be sent a confirmation from us and your name will be noted on our Guest List.

~~

Do you screen your speed daters?
In the 14 years we have had the pleasure of serving daters we've noticed the nicer a dater is to us, our hosts and each other, the more matches they get. Much like a private club, not every dater is for us. Those that tend to see the good in everything and everyone - are just what we and our daters are looking for. If we don't think a dater is someone that fellow daters would get on with - we'll respectfully decline service and reserve the right to do so.

How do I get invited to complimentary events?
By being as delightful and lovely as you can. We don’t judge by looks or your match results; Instead, we look at your interactions with our staff, hosts and fellow attendees. When daters stand out for being the best version of themselves and found to be just what others fancy in a mate - the world of cheeky is theirs! They can expect complimentary events and matchmaking opportunities at no additional cost to them. It is where lovely meets value - SpeedAtlanta style.

How do I get banned?
While we appreciate dating is highly emotional, we have zero tolerance for any behavior that upsets your fellow daters, our hosts or our staff. We place a great value in the feedback we receive from daters about fellow daters. While singles may have differing opinions in whom they find attractive, what they are looking for in a mate or their personal goals - finding someone nice and lovely is universal. We don’t tolerate any less and don’t believe you should either.

Are you affiliated with any 'Meet-Up' groups?
We think 'Meet-Up' is a lovely free service that gives those of similar interests the opportunity to connect. We do question businesses that promote their events through "Meet-Up" groups - only to redirect you to their own website. Some companies tout that they partner with many organizations including Craigslist offerings and 'Meet-Up' groups for their events. We do not.

What happens if the event is sold out?
We wish we could accommodate everyone! Unfortunately, the fun goes quick! You can email info@speedatlantadating.com for information as to the process of being added to the wait list.  Also, it is a good idea to keep checking back on our website as sometimes reservations become available at the last minute. We are continually updating our event calendar.

What time should I show up for the Event?
Published start times can be found in the event description. Please try to avoid doing anything unsafe in your attempt to arrive to the event on time - we do like to wait for all participants to arrive. This may cause an event to start late but we feel a perfect opportunity to chat up the hosts, have a lovely refreshment and settle in. There is no set start time for the speed dating portion of the night - we like to wait for all daters to arrive, settle in and grab a refreshment before the speed dating portion.

What is a SpeedAtlanta Dating ‘Date Mate’?
A ‘Date-Mate’ means you have a match! You listed each other on the Top 5 portion of your scorecard and the email address you registered with will be exchanged with this person 24 hours after the event. Only daters that garner matches are notified approx. 24 hours after the event. Should you wish to be notified if you do not garner matches or have any inquiries after the event - feel free to email us at info@speedatlantadating.com. We’re here 24/7.

How long will I chat with my Prospective ‘Date-Mate’?
Chat up your prospective 'Date-Mates' 6-7 minutes at a time. Sometimes, for our larger events, this may be shortened by 1 or 2 minutes to accommodate all of the mini-dates in a timely fashion.

So Little time; So much to say.
Don’t worry. In today’s world we tend to know in a matter of minutes if we ‘click’ with someone. You can also chat further with your prospective ‘Date-Mate’ at intermission or mingle after the event. Just have fun and go with it!

How will I know I have any SpeedAtlanta Dating ‘Date Mates’ and how do I contact my SpeedAtlanta Dating ‘Date-Mate’?
For daters that garner matches, you will be notified via email of your ‘Date-Mate’s’ first name and email within 24 hours of the event ending. Your ‘Date-Mate’ will also receive your name and email.

Can I return for free if I don't get a match at an event?
Unlike other speed dating companies that offer free spots to those that don't receive matches, we take a different approach to returning guests. Those whom are delightful and absolutely lovely - are often invited back with discounts or with our compliments. This encourages a fabulous pool of daters others want to meet.

~~

Is Food included with my SpeedAtlanta Dating ticket price?
From time to time venues may provide light nibbles for the guests. This is at the venue's discretion.

How long does a SpeedAtlanta Dating event last?
The length of an event is based on the number of daters in attendance. Generally, our events last about 2 hours including intermission.

That‘s up to you! Most Daters say this is when the fun really starts! Feel free to stay and mingle for as long as you want.

How Many People Will I Meet?
SpeedAtlanta Dating events vary in size, anywhere from 16 - 40 singles register for any given event.

Can I pay without doing it through the Internet? Register/Info
Payment can only be accepted through the website. We only accept payment via our secure and encrypted checkout systems. If you have questions, please feel free to contact us directly at 1-866-WE SPEED.

What Should I Wear?
Well the British always like to dress it up. However, dress how you feel. No riff-raff please.

I Am Older or Younger than your age ranges – may I still attend?
Of course you may. Our age ranges are merely suggestions. We offer many age range categories. Please feel free to select the age range most comfortable for you. If you don’t see a range suitable for you please check back or let us know.

Will I be photographed or filmed?
You will absolutely not be photographed or filmed without your prior consent. While we and our daters are often called upon for special filmed events, they are scheduled as private events and are by invitation only.

What if I don't have the ability to act like a lady or gentleman?
Oh dear - how unfortunate. We do have a zero tolerance for any rudeness - of any sort. We attract such great daters but find - as in life - not every dater is ideal. Our daters are also our product and we go to great lengths to ensure everyone meets lovely daters. We want the right daters not just any daters. Behavior short of lovely will result in a dater being banned from the company. This may upset some but we feel our daters as a whole appreciate the extra effort and we hope you do too.

Can you tell me more about your promotion for Cancer Awareness?
We are super excited to announce our partnership with The Joan Gaeta Foundation for Lung Cancer Awareness. Our 'Nights For Suzanne' is a great way to give back and have fun while doing it! Donate to any Cancer charity of your choice in the amount of your purchase - let us know you did - and we'll add you to the guest list of your desired event. It's that simple.
