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 for a Valentine’s Day with real connections instead of right swipes? Join us for a special Valentine’s speed dating event at Bar Gusto in the heart of Bowen Hills, where we’re bringing together vibrant singles aged 30-55 who believe in love beyond the algorithms. Being single in Brisbane during Valentine’s season doesn’t have to mean scrolling through dating apps alone – join us for an evening of genuine connections and potential romance! Located at 601 Gregory Terrace, we’re perfectly positioned with Bowen Hills station just minutes away and the 196 bus stopping right outside. Dress to impress in smart casual that shows your Valentine’s Day spirit without going overboard – pop into the boutiques at Gasworks Plaza or browse James Street for that perfect outfit that says “romantic but real.” Whether you’re coming from the leafy streets of New Farm or the bustling hub of Newstead, you’ll find yourself among Brisbane’s most eligible singles ready to make this Valentine’s Day memorable.

How It Works

Your romantic evening unfolds with our streamlined check-in process, where you’ll receive your name card and access to our sophisticated Matching App 4.0 (because Cupid’s gone digital). Ladies get comfortable at their designated spots while gentlemen rotate every five minutes – just enough time to discover if there’s a spark without getting trapped in a detailed analysis of Brisbane’s dating scene. From 7-9pm, you’ll enjoy 12 five-minute dates, with our specially curated Valentine’s ice breakers ensuring conversation flows as smoothly as a Love Actually storyline. At 8pm, we break for drinks and mingling, perfect for revisiting those promising connections. Our Valentine-themed conversation cards keep things engaging and authentic – way more rewarding than trying to decode another cryptic dating profile. With exactly 20 men and 20 women attending, we ensure a balanced mix of potential matches, like a perfectly crafted Valentine’s cocktail.

Who You’ll Meet

Our Valentine’s events attract Brisbane’s most interesting professionals – the kind who appreciate a good love story but also value genuine connections. You’ll meet creative entrepreneurs from King Street startups, professionals from the RNA precinct, and accomplished individuals who know what they want in a partner. Many are at that sweet spot in life where they’re established in their careers and ready to find something real – because let’s face it, dating in Brisbane should be more exciting than another coffee meet-up at Gasworks. Success at our events comes down to authenticity – share your genuine thoughts on romance, debate the best date spots in Brisbane, or plan that perfect second date at Howard Smith Wharves. Valentine’s Day is about possibilities, and nothing beats face-to-face chemistry for making real connections.

Your Host

Since our founding by Darcy Todd in 2020, Speed Dating Social has successfully introduced 37,423 singles across 787 events, playing Cupid with more precision than a barista crafts their valentine’s day lattes. For this special Valentine’s event, secure your spot with our early bird ticket at $29.90, or grab a last-release spot for $34.90 (no refunds, but transferable to a friend). Questions? Drop us a line at matches@speeddatingsocial.com – we’re as quick to respond as Cupid’s arrow.

The Venue

Bar Gusto isn’t just another Brisbane venue; it’s a Bowen Hills hotspot that sets the perfect scene for romance. The venue’s sophisticated atmosphere, with its ambient lighting and stylish dΓ©cor, creates an intimate setting for meaningful connections. Their mixologists have crafted special Valentine’s cocktails – we recommend starting your evening with their signature “Cupid’s Arrow” spritz to calm those first-date butterflies. The thoughtful layout creates intimate conversation spaces while maintaining a romantic atmosphere that’s perfect for our Valentine’s speed dating format. Before or after the event, take a romantic stroll through the King Street precinct – maybe share a gelato at La Macelleria or plan your next date at one of the precinct’s acclaimed restaurants. Love is in the air at Bar Gusto, and this could be the Valentine’s Day where your love story begins.
