I want to thank 25dates.com for existing as a company. If it weren't for you I never would have met the love of my life. A few good friends convinced me to try the experience, "who knows who you'll meet, and if you don't fall in love you might at least make a friend or two," they said. Well I did fall in love. I guess you could say "at first sight." She was one of the hostesses at the first event I went to. Although, I was too shy at the end of the night to ask her for her number or even give her mine. She was at the second event I went to though, and I finally got the courage to give her my number but I was still too shy to ask for hers. A month later she called me and we made plans for dinner. I guess you could say the rest is history as we'll be celebrating our three-year anniversary of being together at the beginning of 2008! Thank you 25dates.com!

I just wanted to say that I had an awesome time it was quite the experience, and you can be sure that I will be suggesting it to many others.
— Mike - Toronto
Perhaps I should of shared the good news with you earlier, last summer when I attended your function I met someone! We are celebrating our one year in less than a month!
You guys did a great job! Thanks.


— Jacqui - Toronto
It was great! I had a lot of fun and met some cool people. I would recommend it to anyone. If you get the chance to do one of these things...go for it! You never know who you might meet.
— Rob G. - Toronto
I met a wonderful guy named Jeff at the last 25dates.com I attended in late August who I've been dating ever since!! It really worked! Thank you SO much.... I've been single for 4 years by choice and dated many guys and none were what I was looking for. Your service allowed me to meet 25 guys in a single night and save weeks and possibly months of screening that I would have had to do for the equivalent with web dating. Great service!
— Jenn and Jeff from Mississauga
I am new to the Toronto area and was very pleased with how helpful and organized your event was... I was lost trying to find the place and I got simple directions on the phone to make it on time from the 25dates phone number... What a great way to get out and enjoy a new city. Couldn't be happier, and 25dates was the best 50 dollars I have spent since arriving in Canada. You can really tell how much heart you put into your business.
Thanks Again,

— Jacob - Toronto
In today's world abundant with lousy customer service you and your staff should be commended on your superior customer service. I have only been to one of your events where I also found the service there to be exemplary.
— Andrea-Toronto
I just thought I'd pass on a success story regarding 25dates.com!

Last March (2006) five single friends and I thought it would be a hoot to try speed dating for the first time. We attended one of your Toronto venues and had a great time. As soon as I saw my now fiancee walk through the door - I remember commenting on him to a friend and we hit it off in our three min. together. We began dating a couple of weeks after that first event and have been together since. He just propsed last week and we are planning our wedding for next summer! We will be sure to include something about our wonderful chance meeting at 25dates.com in our wedding speech!

Hi Ragna,

I kept this email from Aug 2008....
just in case I ever felt the need to update you and your crew.
The person that I met almost two years ago at your wine tasting event is going to be my husband in September !
Just wanted to let you know that your service worked - all a matter of being in the right place at the right time, of course - and it happened to be at one of your events.

So thanks for providing the opportunity - well worth it ! I hope you have many more success stories in your files !

: )

25dates.com is a great way to spend an evening, a great way to have fun and a great way to find other eligible men who want to date.

— gayguidetoronto.com
First, I want to say that you planned an excellent event on Monday. Excellent venue, not too loud, and very well organized. As an event planner, I was impressed!

— Kitty - Toronto
Just wanted to let you know that Jim and I got engaged over New Year's and we met at your May 3rd event 2007. I attended about 4-5 of your events and really had almost given up actually meeting someone after years of dating and bad boyfriends. I can't believe I met such a wonderful man. Your events are very organized, enjoyable and most of all comfortable and I believe it was this environment that helped me relax and be myself so that I could be open to meeting someone.

All the best and a million thanks. I wish you continued success with your business. I have recommended your events to many friends and acquaintances.

— Cyndi
Just wanted to say thanks for such a great event and evening. "25dates.com" did a great job! You certainly exceed my expectations for an event of this nature.
— Paul - Toronto
Just a quick note to let you know that I enjoyed my evening and was very impressed on how well it was all organized. I have never done anything like this before and it is a great way to meet people.
Welll done to all of you and thank you for a nice evening!!!

— Vilma - Toronto
No wonder you're doing so well, your attitude and customer service is outstanding!
— Dan - Toronto
I just wanted to take the time to thank you for last night. I am not sure how many people actually email you the next day to let you know how the event was, but I thought I would take the time to say thank you and it was a blast!

I also wanted to say that you are all great hostesses. It isn't often that you see so many people doing their jobs and loving it at the same time. You seem to really enjoy what you do and I must say you do it well!

So, thanks again for the evening....I will make sure that all of my single friends give 25dates.com a try!

— Meagan - Toronto
I wanted to say thank you for the great time I had tonight. It was truly a FUN FUN evening and well worth the money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
— Robert - Toronto
I attended the Vancouver function at Vertical last night. It was alot more...... fun than I thought it would be. You ladies who ran the event did a great job at making things flow. I felt so comfortable and not at all intimidated.


— Shannon - Vancouver
I thought I would drop you a quick note letting you know how my speed dating results turned out!

I went to the speed dating event on August 6th... Since the Monday after that, I have been dating William (one of two matches I got from that session). It turned out we have a number of common interests: classical music/opera, jigsaw puzzles, working out, steak dinners, and sleeping in. He's got a great sense of humour and is an intelligent, interesting conversationalist. We agreed last night over pillow talk that we make each other pretty happy. :°) Things are going well.

Thanks for offering this great service/opportunity for singles... I tell all my single friends who are looking: try speed dating. You really never know who you could meet!

— Karen - Toronto
I just wanted to send you a quick note to say thank you. I had a fantastic time Tuesday night and met some great people, both men and women.

— Nathalie - Toronto
Well, here is another Calgary success story for you.

Ross and I met at your April 2007 Speed Dating event at the Distillery. It was my second time and his first. When all the men took their seats I was his first 'date'. It actually turns out that we had 'met' a year earlier at his work but I just couldn't place him, I just had this feeling that I had met him before. Well, perhaps that intrigued him, but he e-mailed me a few days later and the rest, as they say, 'is history'. We got engaged just a few weeks shy of our first anniversary and will marry this September 2008.
I can't thank you enough for helping bring us together and for finding my wonderful guy, I am the luckiest girl in the world! I was never really into the 'alternate' methods of dating, I always thought I would meet someone through a friend or share a romantic glance from across the room. Since none of that was really working for me I thought I would just suck it up and try something different. I honestly would recommend Speed Dating to anyone looking for a mate, and have. There is no substitute for meeting people face-to-face. It works, we are proof of it!
Thanks again and we will send you guys a photo of the wedding...

— Lisa & Ross
I will definitely spread the word that not only did I enjoy myself at Wett Bar - when I didn't expect to - but your follow-up for customers is first rate. Great customer service... it's really appreciated.


— James - Toronto
Just thought I'd drop you a note to tell you how much fun I had the other night at your speed dating event. I have to confess I was a wee bit nervous at first, but after the 2nd date I had forgotten about my nerves, I was having so much fun. I had known about speed dating for a while, but kept putting it off, (probably nerves again) but when I got there and saw how well organized and how relaxed you made people feel, and realized everyone is in the same boat I was glad I came. I met a lot of interesting people who I still keep in contact with and of course my present girlfriend. Thanks!
PS I know what I'll be getting my single friends for Christmas.

— Iain - Mississauga
I just wanted to say that the speed dating was great. My friends and I went in with an open mind and were quite surprised... It was a great turn out and a fun way to meet new people.
— Mina - Toronto
I want to let you know my success story. I met someone through 25dates back in March 2005. We were just married last month, July 2008! We are incredibly happy together. 25dates is truly a wonderful way to meet people, and I would recommend it to my single friends.
— Erin from Mississauga
It's a small investment to change your life. We recommend you to go to 25dates.com.

— Humble and Fred - Mojo Radio
Thanks to 25 dates, I am getting married!!! Yes, almost 2 years ago on Nov 23, I met a wonderful man and we have been together ever since.

— Mary Jane and John
I participated in one of your events in Vancouver and one of the men I met that night and I will be getting married February 14, 2004! (our engagement story appeared in The Province on November 21, 2003). So thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!
— Pamela - Vancouver
I had a great time last night -- very impressed with the caliber of people you had.

— Sam - Toronto
I had a great time at the party and I've told many people about it.

— Allsun - Toronto
I thought I'd write briefly just to let you know that after the event, the only event, I attended last September, I met someone with whom I am still involved. We began seeing each other regularly at that time, and have been together ever since. Your service definitely worked for us. It was more than I had hoped for.
— Jeremy - Toronto
I just wanted to THANK YOU...because due to going Speed dating on 25 dates last year on January 25th at Copia Lounge I met the woman that I am going to marry this June 2007.
We are both very happy and had we not gone speed dating we would have never met. I am from Barrie and she is from Mississauga.
Thank you very much!!

— Jonathan - Barrie
I really enjoyed my evening. I've recommended 25dates.com to a number of my friends. I'm very impressed with it. Keep up the great work.
— Tim - Toronto
I just wanted you to know that I am actually in a committed relationship at this time and have been for over 3 years.
The man I am with is one that I met on my first every 25dates experience. I am living proof that speed dating really works.
Thanks for everything.

— Kim - Toronto
I just wanted to send you a note to say thank you. I attended your speed dating event to meet local firemen & it was well worth the money. I met & fell in love with Scott & we have been together for over three months. ScottÌ's fire station is in close proximity to where I live so we get to spend many nights & time together. He calls me every night when we are not together to say goodnight & I call him on my way home from work. Sometimes I call just to hear his voicemail if I miss him or if I am having a bad day. I think he is really starting to get serious, he even hinted a few times about moving in together when his roommate was moving out. We were both skeptical for signing up with 25dates.com at first but we are now so much in love & cannot imagine our lives without each other. I think he is "the one.
Thank you 25dates.com, it does work.
Happily in Love

— Sassy Blonde - Toronto
It was fantastic!!! Your staff that threw the event was awesome, the talent there was great. Really nice people, lots of cute girls and guys. We had a really good time.

**Update - Krish got married to someone he met at a 25dates.com event in April of 2007.

— Krish - Vancouver
This was such a fun way to meet and date... The company and conversation was excellent... Well done and well run!
— Jay - Toronto
We're getting married!!!
In January 2003, I went to a 25dates.com event in Vancouver. It took a girlfriend of mine a good few months and a lot of nagging to convince me to do it but finally I decided to take a chance and try something new. Little did I know that on the other side of Vancouver, a guy named Dan saw a 25dates.com ad and decided to step out of the box and attend the same event.

3 minutes doesn't seem like a very long date. But it was long enough for Dan and I to connect and decide we wanted the chance to get to know each other better.

The rest is history and I believe it was meant to be. We fell in love and I'm so lucky to have found such a wonderful, sweet and romantic man to share my life with. On July 30, we got engaged and are planning a wedding next year.

To those involved in 25dates.com - we can't thank you enough. And to all you singles out there who are wondering where to meet someone - our advice is to give speeddating a try. You might just meet the love of your life!

— Lori & Dan - Vancouver
I have been to one of your speed dating events and I think it was one of the best experiences I have had.

— Jennifer - Toronto
Thank you so much for bringing a great event to Vancouver like this. I had just the best time, everything was set up so excellent and well organized. I will be signing up for the event in March. I look forward to doing this again. I can not explain how much fun I had, not only did I meet 25 great girls but the other guys were friendly and it was a blast.
— Leo - Vancouver
I am happy to say that I met someone at your last 25dates.com so kudos to you. I thank you very much. He's a perfect match so far. I am oh so happy and no longer looking.

— Jill - Toronto
I had a great time attending your event and meeting all the men. Your staff is extremely friendly and professional. This is the second time I have attended your functions, and I am very satisfied.

— Catherine - Toronto
Thank you for organizing such a well run event. I really did have a good time last night at the Gypsy Co-Op.

— David - Toronto
I attended an event in May 2003 and became engaged last Friday to my match! All I can say is a big THANK YOU for organizing that event as it has changed my life for the better! Friends and family know that we met through 25dates.com, and we've encouraged lots of people to try it as well. I can't say enough good about it - as well as my fiancee, I met a few nice girls that I've kept in touch with. Even if you don't walk out with a future husband, it seems to be a good group of people attending, so some good friendships can come of it.

— Ann - Toronto
Just thought I'd drop you a quick note to update you.... I really had no desire to go to the 25dates.com event - I was sort of forced into it and had no expectations what-so ever.... up until I actually entered the Gypsy Co-op I was still thinking of simply not going - being a "no-show". Well, as fate/destiny would have it - I met the man of my dreams and he's moving in with me. We are head over heals in love with each other - we have been waiting all our lives to meet each other and we finally met through you. So,
thank you for the opportunity.

— Terra - Toronto
Thanks for the great event last night, it was really well organized. All of you guys were extremely helpful and empathetic. I was a little stressed before and didn't think I'd be able to drag myself down there to RD's Ribs, but it was excellent and I was pleased at the turnout. I've already told a bunch of my friends about it. I was very pleasantly surprised, and am looking forward to see who picked me :)

— Sara - Toronto
Hi there, I attended one of your events almost 3 years ago in toronto. Thanks to you guys I am now getting married this May! My fiance and I both ended up at your events with the encouragement of our friends who wanted to go...we thought we were both going for support for our friends but ended up being the ones to make a match. Just wanted to say thanks to you guys, and let people know that speed dating actually works!
Thanks for your services!

— Liz from Toronto
If you knew what a fabulous experience I had, you'd understand that I HAD to write you to express my appreciation. Thanks again and keep up the good work! Honestly, I never would have expected to meet so many outgoing people in such a short period of time! I made so many new friends and possible romantic interests. Can't beat that!
— Adam - Toronto
The person I met at 25 dates in Sept. 2004 asked me to marry on Easter weekend... so we are a success story for you! Thanks :-)

— Wendy - Vancouver
I had a great time! Most of the people I met were professionals like myself. And being able to meet all of these people with such diverse interests and backgrounds is truly a unique experience. Even regardless of the 'dating' aspect, it was a really fun time!

— Arthur - Toronto
25dates.com forces you to give consideration to someone you would not normally give consideration to - and it works! Thanks.
— Barbara & James - Calgary
I had a really good time and thoroughly enjoyed myself. It was a a lot of fun. Thanks for putting on such a great event, it's obvious you put a lot of time and energy into it, and that you're very skilled at what you do. I should have tried this sooner. And to think i've been keeping my a** at home all this time. Anyways I really do appreciate your support and your enthusiasm, it made the process a lot easier than I ever expected and more fun than I ever thought I was going to have. big, big, big shout out to all of you for everything!!!!!!!! Thanks girls from the bottom of my heart, I really mean it.
— Cori - Toronto
