A good fun night. Unfortunately not many people turned up but that actually made it more fun as everyone could mingle and we all went out for a drink together afterwards.

Absolute shamble of an organisation

Absolute shamble of an organisation. Paid almost £90 in total to this company and attended their event and it was complete chaos. Asked for a refund and they have not even responded. I felt very unsafe and all they did at the event was to keep on apologising.

Response: 1. Would you like me to post the video, that might refresh your memory
2. You've responded to my review in 2 seconds but not my email demanding my money back 3 days ago. You're a scam.
3. I can also post other attendees views on the event MARCH MIXER - LOCK & KEY PARTY - PLUS PRE-PARTY SPEED DATING held at the Fable Bar London.

In fact I will contact the Competition and Markets Authority and other Authorities regarding this. Look at the reviews, you're taking advantage of people trying to find love. If you do not provide me with a refund, you might have a legal challenge on your hand.
Dear Trustpilot, I understand there are attempts to remove my review but I can prove everything in my review and I am very much happy to share my evidence.

Er where do I start basically scummy…

Er where do I start basically scummy attitude from the the owner which I will definitely not put up with or tolerate on their feed back towards me who do they think they are seriously no care just horrible people 😡😡 I think the whole company is a scam with scam men 👎 I get matches sent through daily not least one man talks to me none of them message me or say hi only one a few weeks who was a complete horrible wrongen no good dateing experience just full of horrible people. The owner of oringal dateing has a stinking attitude towards me replying to my review in a harsh manner when I was in tears on one of the events .
I would say to owner quit with your sticking attitude because I won't put up with you ✊️😡 and stop treating people like shxt on here

Excellent way to meet new people and go on dates

I attended several speed dating and quiz dating events in London with Original Dating this year. Even though I haven't met someone for a long-term relationship yet, I have gone on a few dates and even made some new friends I'm still keeping in touch regularly. As a vegan, I especially enjoy the niche events like Vegan and Vegetarian Speed Dating Event to help me connect to other like-minded people. The quiz dating events are laid-back and always a lot of fun!

Customer service ignores all emails

Customer service is really poor! I’ve sent a number of emails in relation to a voucher credit, which no one has responded to. There is no in use telephone number to speak to anyone either, so I’m basically left being ignored.

I have been to a few Lock and Key…

I have been to a few Lock and Key parties, but venue wise I found the venue at The Happenstance a little bit too small for the capacity for the event, so it was a little bit hard to manoeuvre through the crowd. Other than that I did have a good time at the event, as it had been a while since I had been to an event.

Well run event, friendly and helpful. organisers. Helen and Darren are a freak team and make everyone comfortable and welcome. Nice new venue, only downside was the bar upstairs not being open but that was the venues choice not original dating.

Hi Michelle,

As we mentioned in our email replies to you in August our booking terms do not allow for cancellations a few hours before the event is due to start. This is standard practice in the events industry as a whole and generally accepted as reasonable.

We wish you well for the future.

Oversold

Hosts were great and really tried, but overall the event was unpleasant. According to the website there were only a handful of tickets left for each gender with an expectation of around 80 people attended. The first sign it was not going to plan was finding the it had been moved from the ballroom to the much smaller basement bar. There were probably around 6 women and easily triple the number of men. Went outside for a cigarette just before it started and I heard the host saying to security that four of the women were no shows, so still nowhere near the expected amount that the low tickets remaining would suggest. Just led to lots of standing around and guys queueing up to interact with the ladies, just felt kinda horrible to me. I know it can't be helped whether people turn up, but the expectations for the event seemed way oversold and misrepresented.

Hi Andrew, we're sorry to see this event didn't meet your expectations.

Other feedback for this party has been positive from several attendees. See our internal feedback here: https://www.originaldating.com/southend/late-summer-singles-party-southend-22-sep-2023/8223/

We're pleased you found our hosts were good. As you rightly say, we never know exactly the final numbers that will attend on the night. On this occasion some ticket holders didn't make it however it's important to state more people attended than you mention here.

Our team try our best to run quality dating events. There are many variables with affect one's perception of a dating event and sadly few of which we have control of.

We wish you the all best of luck.

Lower ‘Tickets remaining’ is likely just a bait&switch tactic

The event was attended by 13 men and only 6 women so I spent as much time talking to men as I did women. When my ticket was purchased it was advertised as 1 male and 2 female spaces remaining, of the men I spoke to four others said exactly the same was displayed to them. I appreciate that the organisers cannot control attendance however this to me is strong evidence that they are using FOMO/false advertising to sell tickets.
The night is what you make of it and I had a fun social evening. I would attend speed dating again but not with this company as the sales strategy left a bitter taste.

Edit. ‘Likely’ added to title to reflect that this is a hypothesis based on the evidence available to me.
However with regards to making inaccurate statements I will add that despite this review being outwardly anonymous an order reference was provided at time of writing and later resubmitted with additional information at TrustPilots request.
If the content of this review is unfounded then the addition of a simple inventory system to Original Datings website would prove this.

Hello,

We were super pleased you enjoyed your social experience. And you are right, we have absolutely no way of ensuring all ticket holders attend the event they book for. Fortunately in most cases people with tickets generally do turn up but we cannot guarantee a totally even gender ratio. We do however offer a guarantee so in the event you do not meet someone you want to see again your next event is free.

You should be cautious about making unproven defamatory statements on the internet as if they are fact and we have asked Trustpilot further details regarding this anonymous reviewer attempting to cause damage to our reputation.

Thanks,
Original Dating

It was OK.

It was good but the fact that they do not provide a pen and paper to write on is ridiculous. The host told me to use my phone to write down the names.

Hi Adam, our post-event matching system provides a profile and image of everyone who attended so it's easy to remember everyone you met at the event when it comes to matching. We'll consider offering pens and paper to those who request it.

Many thanks for your review it's very much appreciated.

Bottomless pit of despair

I don't think I have ever been to a more depressing event. More men than women (although the event was sold differently), zero engagement from the host, bar of the booked room was closed. Overall a really dreadful experience.
Of course, no full or partial refund has been issued.

Hi Fabrizio, we are sorry you didn't enjoy your experience. Our records show only a slight disparity in male/female numbers attending last Saturday's event in London of which almost 30 people attended - pretty good given the national rail strike last weekend.

As organisers we have no control over the final number of attendees for obvious reasons.

Except yours, the feedback we received from this event were extremely good. We wish you well in your dating search.

Avoid

Oversold the event so I spent most of it on a table talking to blokes, admitted that they did not offer a good service, then refused to refund my money. Some things are out of their control, which is fine, but give people refunds in that case.

Hi Luke, sadly as organisers we never know if everyone who holds a ticket will attend our events. In most cases almost everyone attends but occasionally there's a slight disparity in numbers.

We do however always offer a guarantee whereby if you don't meet someone you wish to see again, your next event is free of charge.

We're sorry you were not satisfied on this occasion and hope to see you again in future.

Professionally run and good crowd

I've tried the speed dating events as well as the parties and they were well run and good fun. Only suggestion is to ask venues at the parties to have more bar staff because the queues can be long. Bit of a vibe killer to turn up and have to queue for 15mins. Prices for their events are also starting to get a bit high lately compared to competitors... Would recommend giving it a try though. Have had some success at these events and been on dates with people I met there.
