Success Stories 💑

Many have already found love ❤️

“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”

“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.”

Event Details

Ready to meet Brisbane’s most interesting singles face-to-face? Join us for an evening of real connections at Milky Lane Newstead, where we’re bringing together vibrant professionals aged 29-47 who know there’s more to life than endless swiping right. Being single in Brisbane can feel like trying to find parking at Gasworks on a Saturday night – unnecessarily complicated – but we’re here to change that! Located in the heart of Newstead at 76 Skyring Terrace, we’re just a quick CityCat ride from the city (Teneriffe Ferry Terminal), or catch the 60 bus right to our doorstep. Rock up in smart casual that shows your personality – think James Street shopping meets riverside drinks vibes. Pop into Sass & Bide at Gasworks Plaza or browse the boutiques along James Street for that perfect outfit that says “I’ve got my life together but I’m still spontaneous.” Whether you’re coming from the hip streets of New Farm or the bustling hub of Teneriffe, you’ll find yourself among Brisbane’s most engaging singles.

How It Works

Your evening kicks off with our streamlined check-in process, where you’ll receive your name card and access to our sophisticated Matching App 4.0 (because who uses paper in 2024?). Ladies get comfortable at their designated spots while gentlemen rotate every five minutes – just enough time to determine if there’s a spark without getting trapped in a detailed analysis of Brisbane’s property boom. From 7-9pm, you’ll enjoy 12 five-minute dates, with our carefully curated ice breakers ensuring conversation flows as smoothly as a Single O coffee. At 8pm, we break for drinks and mingling, perfect for revisiting those promising connections or building up courage for round two. Our conversation cards keep things engaging and authentic – way more rewarding than trying to decipher whether that Bumble bio was actually witty or just copy-pasted from TikTok. With exactly 20 men and 20 women attending, we maintain perfect balance, like a well-crafted cocktail.

Who You’ll Meet

Our events attract Brisbane’s most interesting professionals – the kind who have strong opinions about where to find the best breakfast in town and know all the hidden rooftop bars. You’ll meet creative types fresh from their Newstead offices, entrepreneurs building exciting startups at River City Labs, and professionals who’ve escaped their CBD towers for the evening. Many are at that sweet spot in life where they’re established in their careers but ready to find someone special to share their favorite Valley spots with. Dating in Brisbane at this age can feel like navigating rush hour on Ann Street – tricky but manageable with the right approach. Success at our events often comes down to authenticity – share your genuine thoughts on whether the new Fish Lane is better than the old one, or debate the best spot for Sunday sessions. For a memorable second date, we suggest a stroll through the James Street Markets or sunset drinks at Bar Alto – both guaranteed conversation starters.

Your Host

Speed Dating Social, founded by Darcy Todd in 2020, has successfully hosted over 787 events, introducing more than 37,423 singles. We pride ourselves on maintaining equal ratios of men and women at every event, ensuring a balanced and enjoyable experience for all.

The Venue

Milky Lane Newstead isn’t just another Brisbane venue; it’s a vibrant hotspot that perfectly captures the city’s evolving food and drink scene. The venue’s fun and energetic atmosphere, with its street art-inspired decor and riverside views, creates the perfect blend of casual cool and date-night vibes. Their famous cocktails are Instagram-worthy conversation starters – we recommend kicking off your evening with their signature “Milky Lane Martini” to calm those first-date butterflies. The spacious layout creates natural mingling areas while maintaining an energetic atmosphere that’s perfect for our speed dating format. Before or after the event, take a wander along the riverside boardwalk or explore the Gasworks precinct – maybe grab a gelato at La Macelleria or check out what’s happening at the plaza. These quintessentially Brisbane experiences make for perfect ice breakers and even better second date ideas.
