Original Dating  Omdömen 298

I have booked a slot on the day of the event, but realised I wouldn't be able to attend due to unexpected workload. I received a generic response from Stuart letting me know that regrettably, there's nothing they can do to help on the day of the event. I was surprised as I was able to book after the "48h time frame before the event".

I was looking forward to potentially attend further events but unfortunately I've lost trust on their service. I would not recommend to book from 48h before the start of the event, even if there are available slots, as you wouldn't receive support if needed.

I went to the Lock and Key party and one of the speed dating events. Both events presented great opportunities to meet people of both genders and practise social skills. The atmosphere was fantastic and second to none. Would recommend.

There are plenty of good people at these events that ive attended, from the host and the people i have met, (mainly most recently online events)
my first face to face event a few years ago went swimmingly, i really enjoyed it and felt safe, cared for and comfortable meeting new people - helped by the fact i prepared myself for that by making sure i did a lot of things in the day to bring me to a good space. like attracts like

I have been to the over 40s dating event and really enjoyed it, lovely people and a few potential matches. Great event would recommend if you would like to meet fellow professionals.

Attended a lock and key dating event, it was fun - very civilised and interesting people and many people to talk to! Definitely beats dating apps.
However, an improvement would be a bit smaller age-range - 20 years is quite big! Maybe 15 years instead? Or if it has to be 20 years, maybe put on a 30-50 event as well? Also, perhaps something that filters for professional status? I'm PhD level educated, so a 'professionals dating' event would be awesome for me!
But other than that, it was a fun evening out.. :) thank you.

Chilled Speed dating event with an amazing host.

The normal speed dating is a good experience to meet people but I have suggested to give a little more time to get to know someone but that’s why they call it speed dating.

The host was drunk / mad or both. Badly organised, he had no idea what was going on by the end. He asked if everyone had met everyone...he should know that, by which time people were leaving. No name tags or score cards. Only 8 females turned up (13 guys), I met one, and then there was an interval. After I met 3 more, 2 girls had left, and the host declared it was over.
I travelled all the way into London from Surrey and met 4 girls!
Absolute shocker!!

My first option was to contact you, but still you have not contacted me. I gave you my email via Trustpilot.

You want me to approach the drunk host and say you're drunk and there's now only 6 girls and I only met 4 of them?

I agree my first response should be to contact you for resolution, and that's what happened. Not some time later, the very next day. As I said no reply at all.

So my question is what are you going to do about this shambles affair I attended, because you have still not said here what you will do? Nothing? Tough luck it was a shambles??

Fun night chatting with other singles. Great location and friendly atmosphere

It is a nice place to meet people and the events are always fun

This was for an online event a few months ago. There was good attendance and the host was friendly, welcoming, interactive and keep the energy going.

Really enjoyed the two events I’ve been two (speed dating and the Summer Boat Party). Well organised and good fun. Only negative comment is that at both events the number of potential matches was less then advertised but I guess there is not much Original Dating can do about people dropping out.

Great event- met some lovely people, and it was very well organised and lots of fun. The host, Joshua was very professional and jovial. My only reservation about this company is that they do so few events for the over 40s and don’t offer the party options to over 40’s which is the nicest way to meet potential dates.

Great way to meet eligible singles.. good host, good vibes, good times.. It’s how dating should be!

Paid £20 for an event + £10 to talk to people on the dating website.. safe to say that was money wasted. I would not recommend this to anyone. Save yourself the bother.
As a response to the reply to this review, I replied to your rude emails sent to me. I even explained you could add my response to this review.
Avoid at all costs! Very immature and quite frankly embarrassing.

Online speed dating was fun and I am looking forward to attending the in person sessions

Original Dating delivers a great experience, always with a friendly and helpful host. Their speed dating evenings are a great way to meet new people, make friends and hopefully find the love of your life, either way you'll have a fun evening.

Great fun and excellent selection of interesting people.
The format works well and Arthur, the host, was very efficient.
Thank you for the great evening!

I have always found Original Dating's events (both 'virtual' and in real life) to be well organised and fun evenings where I have had the chance to meet a good mix of different people. I would certainly recommend attending one of their events to people who are interested.

The Original Dating is a brilliant idea and usually I have met some really nice ladies. I have kept in contact with a few and I tend to have great evening.

The host (usually) Arthur puts everyone at ease!

Looking forward to the Original Dating being able to offer the speed dating evenings at Perini, Perini again soon!

Thanks for all your hard work!
