Success Stories πŸ’‘

Many have already found love ❀️

β€œWhen 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”

“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.”

β€œI 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.”

Event Details

Looking for love or just tired of the swipe-left, swipe-right grind? Join us for a 29-47yrs Speed Dating Event at the iconic Pig ‘N’ Whistle Brunswick Street, located right in the heart of Fortitude Valley (Brunswick St, Fortitude Valley QLD 4006). Speed dating is all about real conversations in real timeβ€”12 exciting five-minute dates to see if sparks fly! Whether you’re coming from trendy New Farm or bustling Spring Hill, you’ll find this event perfectly situated for easy access. Hop off the train at Fortitude Valley Station, or catch the 196 bus to Brunswick Street Mallβ€”you’re just steps away. Not sure what to wear? Keep it casual yet polished; think smart jeans, a crisp shirt, or a playful dress. Need outfit inspo? Swing by James Street’s boutiques or grab a last-minute fit at The Myer Centre. After all, first impressions count, and in five minutes, they really count!

How It Works

Here’s how it works: upon arrival, you’ll get your name card and access to Matching App 4.0, a nifty tool that keeps everything organized (and helps avoid those awkward “what’s your name again?” moments). Ladies stay seated while gents rotate for each five-minute mini-date. With conversation cards to keep the chat flowing and an intermission at 8pm to grab a drink or mingle, it’s a relaxed yet structured way to meet potential matches. The best part? At 8am the next day, you’ll receive contact details of anyone who picked youβ€”no awkward rejections in the moment. Think of it as speed dating meets high-tech matchmaking, minus the ghosting. Compared to dating apps, this experience is refreshingly real, and with 40 attendees (20 men, 20 women), we’ve got the balance sorted to maximize your chances of meeting someone special.

Who You’ll Meet

Expect an eclectic mix of singles: from busy professionals juggling careers to adventurous types who spend weekends hiking up Mt Coot-tha or sipping coffee at South Bank’s riverfront cafes. Dating in Brisbane, especially for this age group, often feels like finding a needle in a haystack. But here, the haystack is full of needles, and we’re here to help you find the sharpest one! The key to speed dating success? Stay open-minded, ask engaging questions, and don’t be afraid to show a little personality. If sparks fly, suggest a follow-up date at Howard Smith Wharves, just a short stroll awayβ€”a riverside cocktail with your newfound flame sounds pretty perfect, right?

The Venue

The Pig ‘N’ Whistle Brunswick StreetΒ is the perfect backdrop for love to bloom, with its warm, English pub vibes and lively atmosphere. Nestled in a historic building, it’s a favorite among locals for its charm and stellar drink selection. Be sure to try their signature Pimm’s Cupβ€”it’s a conversation starter on its own! The venue’s cozy nooks and ambient lighting create an intimate setting that’s ideal for getting to know someone new. After your dates, take a stroll down Brunswick Street and soak in the electric energy of Fortitude Valley; maybe even plan a second date to catch live music at The Tivoli or explore the artsy vibe of The Powerhouse. Love is in the airβ€”and maybe in your next five-minute chat! Don’t wait; grab your ticket now and let’s turn your “meh” dating life into something extraordinary.
