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 spice up your love life in the heart of Redfern? Speed dating is making a comeback, and it’s nothing like your aunt’s awkward singles mixers from the 90s. If you’re tired of endless swiping and want to meet genuine singles aged 32-55, join us at The Noble Hops, a charming gastropub at 125 Redfern St. Getting there is a breeze – hop off at Redfern Station (just a 5-minute walk) or catch the 301 bus that stops right outside. Looking to dress to impress? Swing by The Collector Store on Crown Street for that perfect smart-casual outfit that says “I made an effort but I’m totally chill about it.” With attendees coming from trendy Surry Hills and up-and-coming Alexandria, you’ll meet an exciting mix of professionals who’ve traded their dating app fatigue for real-world connections.

How It Works

Here’s how the magic happens: from 7-9pm, you’ll enjoy 12 five-minute dates (trust us, it’s the perfect amount of time to know if there’s a spark without getting trapped in a conversation about someone’s extensive succulent collection). Ladies get comfy at their tables while gents play musical chairs, armed with name tags and our slick Matching App 4.0. We’ve got conversation cards to break the ice, but most people find they don’t need them once they get chatting. At 8pm, there’s an intermission to refresh your drink and catch your breath. The best part? No awkward number exchanges – just select your matches in the app, and at 8am the next day, you’ll get the contact details of everyone who picked you back. It’s like Tinder, but with real people and zero fishermen holding marlins in their photos. We keep it balanced with exactly 20 men and 20 women, so everyone gets equal opportunities to connect.

Who You’ll Meet

Our crowd is a fantastic mix of established professionals who know what they want – think creative agency directors, architects who can actually explain what they do without putting you to sleep, and entrepreneurs who’ve moved beyond the “but have you heard about my startup?” phase. Many are homeowners or long-term locals who love their inner-city lifestyle but are looking for someone to share their favorite Gelato Messina flavors with. They’re past the backpacker phase but not ready for retirement villages, often juggling successful careers with active social lives. The dating scene in Sydney can be notoriously cliquey, but our events break down those barriers faster than you can say “what’s your coffee order?” Speaking of which, Reuben Hills is just around the corner – perfect for that casual second date where you can bond over their famous breakfast sandwich.

Your Host

Speed Dating Social isn’t just another dating company – since Darcy Todd founded it in 2020 (right when we all realized how much we took human connection for granted), we’ve hosted 787 events and introduced 37,423 singles. Our secret sauce? We strictly maintain equal gender ratios and keep our prices accessible – snag an early bird ticket for $29.90 or last-release for $34.90 (no refunds, but you can transfer your ticket if your cat suddenly needs attention). Got questions? Drop us a line at matches@speeddatingsocial.com.

The Venue

The Noble Hops isn’t just another pub – it’s a lovingly restored 1920s building that perfectly balances heritage charm with modern comfort. The exposed brick walls and warm lighting create an atmosphere that’s intimate without trying too hard. Their signature espresso martini (made with Single O coffee, naturally) is the perfect confidence booster. The mezzanine level where we host our events offers just the right amount of privacy while still capturing the venue’s buzzing atmosphere. Want a great conversation starter? Chat about the iconic Carriageworks nearby – it’s an impressive first date spot if things go well, especially during their weekend farmers’ market. And let’s be honest, anyone who doesn’t appreciate a morning date involving fresh pastries and coffee probably isn’t your soulmate anyway.
