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 swap swiping for sparks? Welcome to Sydney’s hottest speed dating event for singles aged 27-39, where we’re turning the Harbour City’s dating scene on its head faster than you can say “Opera House”! Speed dating is like Tinder in real life, but with actual eye contact and zero risk of being catfished. If you’re tired of navigating Sydney’s singles scene solo, feeling more lost than a tourist at Circular Quay, this is your chance to meet 20 potential matches in one night. We’re setting the stage for romance at The Argyle, a historic hotspot nestled at 18 Argyle St in The Rocks. 

Getting there is easier than finding a flat white in Surry Hills – hop on the T1 North Shore Line to Circular Quay station, or take a scenic ferry ride if you’re feeling extra bougie. Dress to impress, but keep it Sydney-chic – think smart casual that says “I’m here to mingle, not star in Bondi Rescue.” Gents, swing by Incu in the CBD for that perfect shirt; ladies, sass & bide on Oxford Street has got you covered with outfits that’ll turn heads faster than a Manly Ferry. Whether you’re commuting from hipster haven Newtown or beachside Bondi, you’re in for a night that’ll make your Bumble matches seem as bland as a TimTam-less biscuit tin.

How It Works

 

Now, let’s break down the night faster than a Cronulla wave. You’ll be armed with a name tag and our cutting-edge Matching App 4.0 – think of it as Cupid’s digital wingman, only more reliable than Sydney trains. Ladies, you’ll be seated like queens on their harbor-view thrones, while gents, you’ll be rotating faster than a Surry Hills barista’s coffee grinder. You’ve got 12 five-minute dates from 7-9pm, with conversation cards to keep the chat flowing smoother than traffic on the M1 (we wish). 

At 8pm, we’ll call an intermission – perfect for a bathroom break or to order that liquid courage (may we suggest a Harbour Bridge Martini?). The best part? No awkward “you up?” texts – if there’s mutual interest, you’ll get their contact details at 8am the next day. It’s like waking up to a perfect Bondi sunrise, but instead of waves, you’re catching feelings. With 40 attendees (20 men, 20 women), the odds are better than scoring a seat on the ferry during Vivid Festival. Our conversation cards will have you discussing everything from your favorite hidden beach to your stance on the great Messina vs. Gelato Messina debate.

Who You’ll Meet

Who’ll you meet? Think successful professionals who’ve swiped through more profiles than they’ve had smashed avo on toast. These are the cream of Sydney’s dating crop – startup founders who can pitch their way into your heart, creative types who’ll design your perfect date faster than they can whip up a Photoshop mock-up, and fitness enthusiasts who know their way around Bondi’s Icebergs better than their own apartment. They’re at that sweet spot in life where they’ve mastered the art of brunch but are looking for someone special to share their acai bowl with. 

Dating in Sydney can be tougher than finding parking in Paddington, especially when you’re juggling a career, trying to hit every new rooftop bar, and maintaining that beach body year-round. But fear not! Our events are the perfect antidote to dating app fatigue. Pro tip: come armed with your best Sydney-centric ice breakers. Ask about their favorite coastal walk or their go-to spot for post-work drinks. And if sparks fly, suggest a second date at the Museum of Contemporary Art – nothing says “cultured romance” like discussing art with the Harbour Bridge as your backdrop.

Your Host

Speed Dating Social isn’t just another flash-in-the-pan dating gimmick. Founded by local love guru Darcy Todd in 2020, we’ve played Cupid for 37,423 singles across 787 events. That’s more matches than a Rabbitohs vs. Roosters grand final! We’re serious about finding you love – so serious that we maintain a strict equal ratio policy. No sausage sizzles here, just pure, unadulterated matching potential. Tickets are a steal at $29.90 for early birds, or $34.90 if you’re fashionably late to the party (like a true Sydneysider). And while we can’t guarantee you’ll find “the one,” we can promise a night more memorable than your last climb up the Harbour Bridge. Questions? Slide into our DMs at matches@speeddatingsocial.com – we’re always happy to chat, mate.

The Venue

Now, let’s chat about our venue, The Argyle. This place is cooler than a dip at Bronte Beach, with a history richer than a Newtown hipster’s record collection. Nestled in the heart of The Rocks, it’s a sandstone beauty that’s been playing cupid since 1826. The Argyle boasts five distinct bars across two levels, each with its own vibe – perfect for finding your ideal chat spot. Their signature cocktail, the “Rocky Romance,” is a cheeky nod to both the area’s history and our events – it’s got a kick that’ll have you feeling bolder than a seagull eyeing your fish and chips at Circular Quay. 

Speed dating here is like being in a rom-com, but instead of meeting-cute over spilled flat whites, you’re chatting up 12 potential co-stars in one night. The cobblestone courtyard provides a perfect backdrop for those “just met but feel like I’ve known you forever” conversations. And if things go well, why not suggest a second date at the nearby Observatory Hill? Nothing says “our love is written in the stars” like stargazing over the city skyline. So, what are you waiting for? Sign up faster than you can say “Harbour Bridge climb” – your future partner could be just a speed date away in the heart of Sydney’s most historic precinct!
