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

Ready to mix and mingle in Brisbane’s hippest precinct? Swap those endless dating app swipes for real-life sparks at our signature speed dating event at Newstead Social, where Brisbane singles aged 30-47 are discovering that finding love doesn’t have to feel like searching for a needle in the Valley’s proverbial haystack. Nestled at 2 Masters Street in the heart of Newstead (just hop off at Bowen Hills station or catch the 196 bus), this industrial-chic venue perfectly captures Brisbane’s relaxed sophistication. Rock up in smart casual – ladies, consider picking up something fresh from the James Street boutiques, while gents can’t go wrong with a crisp shirt from Howard Smith Wharves’ lifestyle stores. Whether you’re coming from neighboring Teneriffe’s converted woolstores or making the journey from New Farm’s leafy streets, you’ll find yourself among fellow professionals ready to trade screen time for face time.

How It Works

Get ready for an evening that puts those dating apps to shame with our tried-and-true format that’s been helping Brisbane singles find their perfect match. Upon arrival, you’ll receive your name tag and access to our custom Matching App 4.0, before settling in for twelve engaging five-minute dates between 7-9pm (ladies, you’ll be comfortably seated while gents rotate). Our signature conversation cards keep the chat flowing naturally, and there’s a refreshing intermission at 8pm to mingle and catch your breath. The best part? No awkward end-of-date exchanges – matches are revealed at 8am the next morning, when mutual connections receive each other’s contact details. With a perfectly balanced ratio of 20 men and 20 women, you’re guaranteed to meet interesting potential partners without the pressure of uneven numbers.

Who You’ll Meet

Our typical crowd includes accomplished professionals who’ve mastered their careers but are looking for that special someone to share Brisbane’s endless summer days with. These are people who know their way around a Howard Smith Wharves craft beer menu and can recommend the best coffee spots in Gasworks Plaza, but maybe haven’t had time to cultivate their dating life while building their empire. Between climbing the corporate ladder and maintaining active lifestyles (anyone for a New Farm Park morning run?), finding meaningful connections can be challenging in our busy river city. That’s why we’ve created an environment where genuine conversations flourish – and hey, if sparks fly, suggest a follow-up date at the iconic Brisbane Powerhouse, just a romantic riverside stroll away.

Your Host

Since our founding by Brisbane local Darcy Todd in 2020, Speed Dating Social has successfully introduced 37,423 singles across 787 events, maintaining our commitment to equal gender ratios that create the perfect dating dynamic. Secure your spot with our early bird ticket at $29.90, or grab a last-release ticket for $34.90 (while we can’t offer refunds, we do offer date changes with 72 hours’ notice). Questions about the event? Drop us a line at matches@speeddatingsocial.com – we’re here to help you navigate your journey to finding connection.

The Venue

Newstead SocialΒ isn’t just another Brisbane venue; it’s a carefully curated space where industrial heritage meets modern sophistication, housed in what was once a bustling wool store. The venue’s exposed brick walls and vintage chandeliers create an atmosphere that’s both intimate and engaging, perfect for our speed dating format. Start your evening with their signature Brisbane Sunset Spritz, a local twist on the classic featuring Queensland’s own Sunshine & Sons gin. The venue’s prime location means you can easily suggest a second date at the nearby Newstead Brewing Co., where craft beer tastings and riverside views provide the perfect backdrop for getting to know each other better. And if conversation lulls, there’s always the story of how Newstead got its name from Newstead House, Brisbane’s oldest surviving residence, just a short drive away – who knows, it might just become part of your own love story.
