Once you have booked your speed dating ticket via our web site or over the phone, we assign you your film star alias for the night. On arrival and registration at one of our Cheltenham speed dating parties (usually at 7.30pm), you'll be given a Smart Card which will contain the film star names of those attending the evening. In addition you'll be given a pen and a sticky name badge showing your film star alias name to let everyone know who you are. We sound the horn about half an hour after registration and everyone takes his or her seat, with seat numbers marked on the Smart Cards. After a short welcome speech in which we explain how the evening works, we sound the horn and the speed dating commences. Throughout the event, ladies stay seated and the men move around.
"Was a brilliant evening speed dating and really well organised. I was a bit nervous at the beginning but I soon relaxed into it. It was quite exhausting talking to so many potential boyfriends in one night. Not used to it!!! It was also really good just to meet some new people for a change. Have been on a couple of dates and am looking forward to the next one." Clare, Cheltenham
"My speed dating went so well that 3 months later we are still seeing each other and have no plans to need your services in the near future!!!! Speed dating was definitely a roaring success for us! My friend who I attended the speed dating evening with is also still seeing the guy she met so speed dating has 100% success rate as far as we are concerned! I have recommended friends try it out too based on how much we got out of the evening." Julie, Cheltenham
You will find that 3 minutes goes very quickly so you need to be careful not to end up just talking about yourself and not finding anything out about your date! However, don't make the mistake of interrogating or interviewing your date with a long list of questions! Although you may find out a lot about someone you are not likely to leave them with a particularly good impression of yourself! We suggest that you prepare a few set questions in case you get stuck at any time, for example, “do you have any favourite restaurants in Cheltenham ”. The key is to try and keep a balance between finding out about your date and giving them an idea of what you are like.
"Just thought I should say thank you for organising the event back in early August. Not only did I have a most enjoyable and fun evening, but most unexpectedly, I actually met someone I have embarked on a serious relationship with! Just thought you would like to know that your efforts have had some positive results!" Rob - Bath
"Just thought I would say how much fun the speed dating evening was. I actually met someone on the night and things are going really well between us. So to anyone thinking of trying it, go for it." Louise - Manchester
"Just thought I'd say it was a really good night. I'd tried speed dating down in London a few times but your company seemed much friendlier. Richard, HULL.
