Good selection of events but the customer service is terrible. I've sent multiple emails to Rob and the enquiries team to retrieve my 'no match guarantee' for a month now and have still not received it. Seems as though hes just ignoring me seeing how active he is on here.

Hi Matt,
Thank you for your feedback - we genuinely appreciate you attending our events and are really pleased to hear you’ve enjoyed the selection.
I’m very sorry to read this regarding your no match guarantee. That’s absolutely not the experience we want anyone to have. We certainly don’t ignore customers, and if you haven’t received a response then something has clearly gone wrong on our side, whether that’s a missed email or a technical issue.
Please could you email us again at enquiries@dateinadash.com with the subject line “FAO Rob – No Match Guarantee” and I will personally make sure this is resolved for you as a priority.
We value every attendee and always honour our guarantees. I’m sorry again for the frustration this has caused and I look forward to sorting this for you quickly.
Regards, Rob.

Good dating event to meet singles in person
Good dating event to meet other singles in person. There is an age range which helps find someone of a more similar age. The event was at Forge Bar which is a nice cocktail bar in central London. Well organised by Rob who is a friendly and helpful host.

Very well organised speed dating night at The Forge. Rob was an approachable, caring host and also responds to my every request via email. Lots of us felt that the dates could be longer than 3.5 minutes but that’s my only qualm!

Thank you very much for taking the time to leave a review about our recent Speed Dating event at Forge bar. I am so pleased you had a positive experience. Regards, Rob.
Great fun, highly recommend.
Really fun event with like minded people. No pressure or hassle and just enough time with each date to tweak your interest or not having to worry about running out of chat. Felt quite natural and kind. I’d definitely do it again.

DateInADash was my first ever speed dating experience and I enjoyed it very much.
I did not really date after my divorce, so the evening provided a delightful opportunity to dress up and meet nice gentlemen. I could tell by the way people at nearby tables were happily chatting that they, too, were also having a good time.
I look forward to more of these enjoyable events in the future.

Event cancelled just hours before
I purchased tickets for this event, but it was cancelled and my refund requests were not honoured. When I contacted the organisers via email, the responses were unprofessional and dismissive. On the day of the event, attendees at the venue confirmed that the event did not take place, and there was no staff present to manage the situation. Eventbrite was unable to resolve the issue. I cannot recommend this company based on my experience.

Paid for virtual speed dating
Paid for virtual speed dating. It got cancelled and I was told to rebook but they said they didn’t do virtual dating anymore. I explained my sciatica and the only reason I booked virtual was because of my severe back pain and then they ghosted me. Disgusting. Chasing them nonstop so complete scam and keeping a disabled person’s money

We’re very sorry to read this and would like to clarify a few important points. Your event was cancelled and you were advised to rebook; however, virtual events were later discontinued, which we understand was frustrating.
We want to reassure you that no one has ghosted you. Our offices were closed over the Christmas period, and we are currently working through a backlog of enquiries. We apologise for the delay in responding, particularly given the personal circumstances you shared.
We take all customer concerns seriously, including accessibility needs, and we would never intentionally ignore or withhold a response. We will be reviewing your query and responding in due course to ensure it is properly addressed.
Regards, Rob.
Disorganised and not as advertised
I went to two events recently, on both occasions the venue was changed last minute. At the last event, assuming they didn't have enough people, we were combined with other age groups, some attendees were almost 20 years younger than me. The venue was loud and we were squashed in a row facing the busy bar which attracted a lot of stares from other customers, making an awkward situation even more uncomfortable. As an apology, we received free ticket to another event.

Thank you for your feedback — we’re sorry to hear that the December events didn’t feel as comfortable as expected. The festive period is always a challenging time, as venues are extremely busy and have less flexibility, but we work hard to ensure events still go ahead rather than cancelling. This can occasionally lead to last-minute venue changes, which we appreciate can be frustrating.
We’d also like to clarify that all attendees were within the advertised age range. Our age groups are intended as a guide rather than a strict rule, but we understand that the overall dynamic of the group and venue atmosphere is just as important to enjoying the experience.
We regret that the layout and noise level of the venue made the evening feel awkward, and we appreciate you bearing with us. Your feedback has been taken on board, and we hope the complimentary ticket allows us the opportunity to deliver a much better experience next time.
Regards, Rob.
Date in a Dash, Stand up shows are good for a laugh
I attended the stand up comedy show on Wednesday at Bar rumba and it's a great way to meet others. Different from the usual speed dating and far more of a laugh, until you get picked to go up and have a go on stage that is!
I have also attended Speed Dating events and I find the ratio of men to women perfect, but the venue changed both times i've attended which left me a little confused. But it was communicated effectively and the nights I attended did lead to matches.
I would recommend Date in A Dash as its a fun way to meet potential dates.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the stand-up comedy night at Bar Rumba—it’s always great when laughter helps break the ice, even if the spotlight moment is a little nerve-wracking! 😄
We appreciate your feedback on the venue changes and are glad our communication helped keep things clear. It’s fantastic to hear that our events, both comedy and speed dating, led to matches and positive experiences.
Thanks again for recommending Date In A Dash—we can’t wait to welcome you back for more laughs and connections soon! 🎉

Fab night with great hosts and a nice crowd. The events are really professionally run and well-attended and drinks are super cheap (2.50 for a glass of wine!)! I’ve done a lock and key party and comedy night- both were great nights and I met lots of great people. Will definitely be back!

Lesbian Speed Dating
I enjoyed the Date in a Dash Lesbian Speed Dating I attended. The event was well run with a good host and I appreciated the score cards. I thought it was efficient that they also ran the Gay Speed Dating at the same venue - it was more relaxed as we could see the other restaurant attendees were here for the same purpose.
However, I had originally signed up to attend this event six weeks ago. The event was cancelled multiple times with no option for a refund. The only option was to shift to another event. For the lesbian clientele, there are limited options to reschedule.
UK consumer legislation requires the company to provide an option for a refund, which applies irrespective of a company's terms and conditions. I suggest this company changes its practices to provide the option for a refund when events are cancelled.

Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we’re glad to hear you enjoyed the Lesbian Speed Dating event itself, as well as the scorecards and overall organization. We also appreciate your kind words about the host and the relaxed atmosphere.
We’re very sorry for the inconvenience caused by the event cancellations and understand how frustrating that must have been, especially with limited options for rescheduling. We take your feedback seriously and will review our policies to ensure a fair and transparent experience for all attendees.
Your comments are invaluable in helping us improve, and we hope to welcome you back to a future event under smoother circumstances.

Poor organisation and a very disappointing experience
I booked a speed dating event for Friday 28 November and arrived to find that the listed venue had not accepted bookings for several months. The staff at the venue advised me to try a nearby club as it was apparently the new location. When I arrived I was told that the event had been over subscribed and the venue had cancelled.
I contacted them afterwards to request a refund and reimbursement for my travel expenses, but my email has been ignored.
The experience showed a complete lack of organisation and communication from Dateinadash. I was left confused, inconvenienced and disappointed. Avoid and try other agencies or organisers.

Please contact us directly at enquiries@dateinadash.com so we can resolve your refund and address your travel expenses as quickly as possible.

The event itself was fine
The event itself was fine, but unfortunately, I didn’t match with anyone. After the event, I emailed to ask if I could attend another event for free, but I never received a response. It’s disappointing that my follow-up inquiry was ignored.
