SpeedDating in Reading
Shane in Reading. Good assistance, direction and instruction on how to participate in the speed dating event.
But have to say, very poor turnout of women.

Hi there,
Thank you so much for the great feedback about our lovely host Shane!
It is a real shame when we have 'No-shows' to an event, however as we are sure you are aware this is out of our control.
However we are really happy that Shane gave you a great service and we hope to see you again! :)
Thanks,

Ridiculous service.
Ridiculous service.
Incapable of sending me confirmation emails or even communicating without me initiating contact.
The event was cancelled and I wasn't even informed.
I had to ask for a refund and they said that they did contact me and I have to wait 21 days for a refund. Nowadays I think that's the most non user friendly policy. Especially for a small business.
I don't recommend this place. Not fit for purpose and painful to deal with.

Good Morning Nick,
Thanks for your feedback and we are so sorry to hear about your experience. We would love to take a look into this as this is certainly not something that sounds like it should have happened. When we postpone events, our system always send both an email and an SMS text message (as long as your number is on file). We are really sorry to hear that you didn't see either a confirmation email or postponement notification, and we would appreciate if you can give us some more information about the email address registered to your account so that we can take a look into this.
As per the Terms and Conditions on our site, you are liable for a refund unless it is within 21 days of the event as this helps us try to prevent last minute drop outs as we aim to keep numbers even for both Ladies and Gentlemen. You do not need to wait for 21 days for a refund, we are sorry by any confusion caused by this.
We have sent you a request for some more information to obtain your email address so that we can look into this issue further and resolve it, and make sure that you get your refund if it is within our refund policy. Please also feel free to email us at HaveFun@SlowDating.com and we will look into this as a matter of urgency.
We hope that you have a great bank holiday weekend and we look forawrd to hearing from you.
Thanks in Advance,
The SlowDating Team

I received a text asking to be at the venue 20 minutes prior to the event. However after waiting an hour I decided to leave. The bar staff informed me that it was normal for the man to arrive late……

Hi Nicole, thanks for your review and we are extremely sorry to hear that this happened to you! We have been trying to get in touch to resolve this and make sure that we can prevent anything like this happening ever again, however, we can't seem to any account that relates to you. Please can you drop us a message through Trustpilot or an email to HaveFun@SlowDating.com as if this is the case, we would love to investigate this further and get this resolved as soon as possible. We hope to hear from you soon, please take care in the meantime 😊 Kind Regards, The Slow Dating Team.
Basingstoke…
I've been to the one in Basingstoke with Shane a few times
Pros:
Shane was a enthusiastic host
Las Iguanas has nice cocktails
Cons:
Always more guys than girls
Regularly people don't show up
The environment was noisy therefore hard to hear
You have to parade in front of all the families and couples before you go upstairs
The biggest issue is that very often you'll see an overwhelming majority of guys some of whom happen to be in an unfortunate situation. This is down to the nature of online dating in that girls with good social lives don't need speed dating because Tinder
and other avenues work for them. Guys online try to match with anyone who will match with them just to get a date. But that leads to the less attractive ones or the ones who for whatever reason can't meet girls, seeking speed dating as a way to find a match.
For example not to discriminate but you might find shorter guys, disabled guys, fat guys or older men. There is no dress code either so some people dress scruffily some not so much. Then because women can match with pretty much anyone who's not model pretty online there tends to be fewer women. For some reason the women are much more attractive than the men. The women go with friends and treat it not very seriously. While the men go alone and expect a relationship at the end of it.
So what you get is nerdy men making pretty women feel awkward for 4 minutes a time and then going home thinking they'll get a date. Only for the women to click no on everyone so they get the free event the next time. Then the men feel sad, book again, the women don't turn up the next time and you have more men than women again. The money rolls in for the company and it just gets passed off as part of the course of speed dating.
This could be made better if instead of just having 20's - 30's night you had more specific categories. E.g. Gamer's Speed Dating, Disabled Speed Dating, Body Positive Speed Dating etc.
Edit: So as usual its taken 48 hours and still only 5/7 have entered their matches yet. None of those 5 along with none of the 10 last time have matched me. In fact I've been more than 7 times and only matched with 2 people one of whom never replied to me and one who went on one date and then never again. I'd be surprised if the success rate for men is above 5%.

Thank you for your feedback, we really appreciate your honest opinion.
We are sorry you feel the way that you do about the events and the variety of people there, at Slowdating we are inclusive to all as we believe that everyone deserves the chance to find love no matter who you are!
We find it frustrating when the numbers are uneven, but as we are sure you understand we cannot control 'No Shows' and people often do get nervous!
We do have a great success rate and we promise that this does work, you can see our Success Stories from the many happy marriages on our website:

We are also looking to provide a variety of new events and this is in the pipeline for the future.
Thank you for your positive feedback about our host Shane and the venue, that is really great to hear!

Hi there!
We find it frustrating too when we have to cancel events, however we only want to run events with even numbers and sometimes it is best to postpone an event as opposed to running and event with incredibly unbalanced numbers!
We apologise that you experienced issues with our website, unfortunately we had some problems at the weekend but the website is now back!
Please email us at HaveFun@slowdating.com and we will endeavour to get back to you - please note that we experience a very high number of emails and we work business hours so if you email at the weekend, you will not receive a reply until the working week!
Take care and stay safe,

I booked for two of us to go to an event I believe over 3 years ago and it was cancelled.
I e mailed to ask for my refund which they have sat on all these years and its a joke!
I was advised that it had been passed over to the accounts team for a refund and nothing has come. I chased again last week and was asked for understanding as its processed in the Ukraine and they haven't been able to do anything because of the war.
I'm very moved by what has happened in the Ukraine and would be very understanding, but I have not heard anything back no update and no money.
I have chased again today and live in hope I might eventually get my money back, I just hope they have been genuine in their reasons if not they should be ashamed!. Will never use them again
Update I have now received an automated email back after I asked where my refund is and they use covid as a reason on there for delays, not the Ukraine! Mmmm the truth will out!

Hi Karen,
Thank you for your message and we are really sorry about the frustration caused! We are sorry that your event was cancelled in 2019, when our events are postponed we let our customers know via email and reschedule for another date, then we would always provide a refund upon request to our customers, should that be within our terms and conditions. We recieved an email and one our our team Eleisha replied asking whether you would prefer a voucher code to allow you to rebook or a refund, which we unfortunately did not receive a reply.
When we then received your email this month, one of team let you know that we would still be happy to offer this refund, however as the transaction is historic, and you told us that the card used was no longer working, we have to reach out to our financial team who are based in Ukraine. We really appreciate your patience and understanding with this matter as unfortunately is it out of our control. Please rest assured that this has been raised as a priority for the team and they are processing it as soon as they can. We will be in touch with via email today with a full update.
We wish you a great day! :)

I attended the 28-45 event in Southampton a while back and even though there were more ladies than the men in the end, I had such a good night! The host was really nice and chatty and all the girls had a great night chatting between dates when on a break!

Slowdating.com is the worst speed dating provider
Slowdating.com is the worst speed dating provider based on my person experience of attending its events. Slowdating.com aims to offer participants 8 or more dates per event but is unable to guarantee this quantity. Slowdating.com does not independently screen participants attending its events and cannot vouch for the marital status, personality or sanity of any participant.

Good Afternoon Dzon,
We are so sorry you feel this way about us. As our email explained, we are sorry you are unhappy with your experience after you said you had previous positive experiences in Exeter, however as our Terms and Conditions state as you have put in the comment above, we cannot guarantee numbers as on occasions we unfortunately get 'no-shows'.
After picking up your email you sent today, I have since emailed you back and I have processed a refund for your future event as requested!
Kindest Regards, Lissy - Events Manager

Despicable behaviour….cancelled the event with 24 hours notice and rolled me on to the next event with no discussion or consultation! Asked to cancel and receive a refund and have been told I can’t as they require 21 days notice! I didn’t even book the date of the second event. Suffice to say will be taking legal action/charge back if my £20 is not refunded! Dreadful - Scam Scam Scam and avoid at all costs!

Good Afternoon Helen,
We are so sorry that your event was not able to ahead! As our email explained, unfortunately, we did not have the numbers required to run a successful event and we always want to transfer you to the next available event so you do not miss out! We completely understand how frustrating it is when an event is not able to go ahead, it is also really frustrating for us as we would love nothing more than to be able to help you to find love!
After picking up your email you sent yesterday this morning, I have since emailed you and made sure to process your refund right away with all of the details about this. Please stay safe and take care in the meantime!
Kindest Regards, Lissy - Events Manager
Couldn't do it!
Myself and a friend arrived early to an event in Bristol this week. Unfortunately the toilets at the event were broken or blocked which wasn't a great start. We oredered a drink and started to scope out the attendees as it was our first time speed dating so we were a bit nervous. We were concerned at the lack of people arriving and were then told by bar staff there were 7 women and 10 men! Unfortunately none of the men we saw coming in interested us and we were filled with a feeling of dread. We decided to leave and not go through with the event. I emailed slow dating with a complaint asking for a refund, surprise surprise they have refused and offered a voucher instead! Why wasn't the event cancelled and refunded with those uneven, low numbers?! I would not want to repeat that experience and am gutted we travelled a 40 mile round trip for nothing. What a waste of money!

Good Afternoon Sian,
We are so sorry that the event was not as you expected! We have spoken to the venue manager who apologised to us as there was one toilet out of use, however assured us that the toilet next door was working fine, and that this has been fixed now, however we are really sorry for the inconvenience of this! As our email explained, we always want to try and ensure even numbers at our events to allow for maximum enjoyment and understand your frustration, we did have 13 couples signed on to the event beforehand, however sometimes people decide not to attend the event without letting us know. We are really sorry about the inconvenience of this, it is also frustrating for us when people don't show up when they have booked a place on an event! It really is a shame to hear you didn't see any gentlemen that you would have been interested in speaking to from your initial thoughts before the event had begun, we do want to help you find love after all!
Unfortunately, as per our refund policy that can be found in our Terms and Conditions we do not offer refunds for an event that has already taken place. If you had attended the event and input your choices for the gentlemen as all No's then you would have received a "Have Another Go Freebie" as a part of our Speed Dating Guarantee! As a gesture of good will, you have already recieved a personalised voucher that will allow you and your friend to book onto another future event for no cost, and we hope to see you at another event in the future, and really hope that you are able to find someone special soon :)
Kindest Regards, Josh - Events Manager.
