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 shake up your dating life in Melbourne’s vibrant inner north? Join us for an unforgettable evening of speed dating at the historic Hotel Railway Brunswick, where meaningful connections happen naturally in the heart of Brunswick. If you’re between 40-65 and tired of endless app scrolling, this is your chance to meet like-minded singles face-to-face in one of Melbourne’s most character-filled venues. Located at 291 Albert Street, the venue is easily accessible via the 19 tram along Sydney Road or a short stroll from Brunswick station. Coming from neighboring Coburg or Fitzroy? You’ll fit right in with our diverse crowd – we suggest smart casual attire that makes you feel confident (Brunswick’s vintage shops like Lost and Found Market are perfect for finding that unique piece that’ll spark conversation).

How It Works

Your evening of authentic connections kicks off at 7pm sharp, where you’ll be welcomed with a name tag and our innovative Matching App 4.0 system that takes the awkwardness out of exchanging contact details. Ladies take their seats while gentlemen rotate every five minutes, giving you 12 exciting opportunities to spark chemistry through genuine conversation. Our carefully curated ice breaker cards keep the chat flowing naturally, and there’s a refreshing intermission at 8pm to mingle freely. The best part? No more immediate pressure – you’ll receive your mutual matches at 8am the next morning, letting you reflect on those connections overnight. With our perfectly balanced ratio of 20 men and 20 women, you’re guaranteed a full dance card of potential matches – way more efficient than months of dating app disappointments.

Who You’ll Meet

Our Brunswick speed dating events attract an eclectic mix of professionals and creatives who’ve outgrown the swipe-life and crave authentic connections. Many are established in their careers, bringing rich life experiences and interesting stories to share. We understand that dating in your 40s and beyond in Melbourne comes with its own unique challenges – busy schedules, past relationships, and wanting to meet someone who shares your values and zest for life. That’s why we’ve carefully designed our events to foster genuine conversations in a relaxed atmosphere. Pro tip: arrive early to settle in with a drink and scope out nearby CERES Environmental Park – it makes for a perfect second date spot to continue those promising conversations.

Your Host

Since launching in 2020, Speed Dating Social’s founder Darcy Todd has successfully introduced over 37,423 singles across 787 events, maintaining our signature equal gender ratio policy that ensures everyone gets the same opportunities to connect. Early bird tickets are available at $29.90, with last release at $34.90 (book early to avoid disappointment!). Questions about matching? Drop us a line at matches@speeddatingsocial.com – we’re here to help you navigate your dating journey.

The Venue

The Hotel Railway Brunswick sets the perfect stage for romance with its blend of Victorian-era charm and modern sophistication. The venue’s original 1890s features create intimate conversation spaces, while the contemporary bar area serves up liquid courage (we recommend their signature Brunswick Gin Fizz). The private function room overlooks bustling Sydney Road, offering both privacy and that quintessential Brunswick atmosphere. Steps away from the iconic Brunswick Velodrome, you’ll have plenty to chat about – maybe even plan a future cycling date along the Capital City Trail? The unique combination of historic architecture and Brunswick’s creative energy creates an atmosphere where connections feel natural and possibilities endless.
