Sophisticated Simplicity

Our in-person speed dating events and matchmaking services offer fresh alternatives for San Antonio singles. Whether you’re looking for a night out with fellow singles or find one-on-one matchmaking to be your cup of tea, we bring just the right amount of flirty to suit any need.

Like a private club, not every dater is for us. We routinely screen those daters whom appear to be nice-challenged, while for those that tend to see the good in everything and everyone, the world of cheeky is theirs! With complimentary events and matchmaking opportunities - being lovely has all the perks.

In-Person Speed Dating

As a reporter for LA Talk Radio.com said, “I walked through the venue without even noticing the tables of daters; events are so chic and low key you might just walk right by.” We couldn’t have said it better ourselves. Devoid of traditional party and event trimmings, we prefer a subtle, comfortable and relaxing environment.

Matchmaking Packages

For those that prefer the same simplified experience in matchmaking we offer our 'Date Nights' free of contracts or commitments. With packages ranging from $595 - $945 - It's as simple as selecting your package, telling us your preferences and allowing us to arrange the evening. Consider us your blind date specialists!

“It’s actually pretty easy; the seven minutes fly by so quickly you barely have time to introduce yourself before a host appears and quietly taps the man to move down the line (in a bid for subtlety, nights are void of stopwatches, bells and whistles).”

“I pictured a snaking line of dolled-up girls changing seats at a dinging bell in front of a small handful of awkward, overwhelmed men. Somehow, that wasn't it at all. In fact, speed dating may actually be NYC's best-kept dating secret. But here’s where speed dating is completely different (read: infinitely better) than Tinder and any other dating app -- it accounts for chemistry.”

“They are changing the speed dating scene and attracting a more sophisticated crowd than ever before. Their approach to matchmaking offers a fresh alternative to contracts and commitments.”

How In-Person Speed Dating Works

We offer a low key, sophisticated approach to dating in San Antonio. We prefer a 'less is more' environment devoid of typical event trappings. Gone are the name-tags, shouting and over-the-top party trimmings. Meeting your special someone shouldn't be anything but a comfortable and relaxed experience. We endeavor to create a private club atmosphere while recognizing our clients are also our product - we reward lovely daters with discounts and complimentary events and refuse service to anyone we don't think you'll fancy meeting. This is where being lovely has it's perks!

Simply choose the speed dating event you wish to attend and purchase your tickets online. Any questions, concerns or advice can be called upon anytime simply by e-mailing info@speedsanantoniodating.com
 
The night has arrived! Go to the venue at the published start time for the event. There is no official start time to the speed dating portion of the evening - we like to wait for all daters to arrive, to have a moment to settle in with a refreshment and mingle should they wish.
 
Our personable hosts will assist you with your SpeedSanAntonio 'Date-Mate' Scorecard. Flirty and fun, your Scorecard is just the beginning. Chat up our hosts for tips or simply to ask, which direction the bar is in! After being shown to your table, the ladies will remain seated for the duration of the event. The gents move from lovely lady to lovely lady every six to seven minutes. Simply jot down your potential 'Date-Mates' at the bottom of your Scorecard and we'll take care of the rest. For those who garner matches, you will be notified via e-mail within 24 hours of the event ending of your 'Date-Mate' results.
 
Alas, the event is over but the night has just begun. Feel free to stay as long as you would like to mingle further. All we need are the 'Date-Mate' Scorecards to determine if love is in the air for you.
 
With a British sensibility and simplicity, we offer uncompromising value with unparalleled service. Lovely venues and our lovely hosts to assist you with anything or anyone.
 
Mingle, Mix & Match in San Antonio with UK Style.

We wanted to bring a fresh alternative to countless forms, contracts and hours of consultations. Matchmakers claiming they have thousands of daters, but none explaining from where. While other Matchmakers are forced to find your match at bars, the mall or other unsavory locations, we meet a fantastic set of new singles every week from our events alone, allowing us the opportunity to choose for you the best out of an already great crowd. We also garner extremely busy Matchmaking daters who find our services an efficient dating indulgence. Sought after for the level of dater we attract, the personal service we offer and an unparalleled selection of the daters you want to meet. We're honored to find that special someone just for you.

With an emphasis on who you are, where you are going and who you want to go with. Taking the time to understand you, allows us the opportunity to find a partner that compliments both you and each others goals. Simply email us at info@speedsanantoniodating.com with some information about yourself and your goals. If we believe we can be of assistance to you - we'll send on details for you to purchase your desired package.

Shortly after registration you will receive your confirmation where you will have the opportunity to share with us your background and personal preferences. One on one conversations can be done over the telephone of if you prefer, online. 

Consider us your blind date specialists. Inspired by the romantic and simple days gone by, we bring back the lovely idea of meeting a date, arranged by another, at a venue of your choosing. Days of only knowing your date’s first name and looking out for that date with the red carnation are back; Red carnation optional. All communication between you and your Date-Mate prior to your Date-Night will be entirely through us.
 
Our staff selects from a diverse crowd of daters from our Singles events, Networking events and fellow Matchmaking clients. Mutual interest is of course paramount and will dictate the length of time before you may meet your initial match and complete your package. A wonderful bonus to purchasing our Matchmaking Packages is the ability to attend our speed dating events at no additional charge to you. When you see an event you fancy attending - simply let us know and we'll add you to the guest list. There is no limit to the number of events you may attend with our compliments for the duration of your package. Attending events is an important part of the process and an excellent opportunity for us to get to know you better, for you get to know our daters and for us to see who is drawn to you. As well, many Matchmaking daters find our events the perfect way to narrow down what they are looking for and learn a bit more about themselves in the process.

We will confirm with your potential Date-Mate, coordinate both of your schedules and make the reservation for you. You may choose to go to one of the fabulous venues that we work with or if you prefer, we can arrange for your Date-Night to be at your local favorite hangout. Whether you fancy meeting for coffee, a lovely drink or for a lunch or dinner - how much or how little is entirely up to you. 

Your Date Night has arrived! You will be given details of your reservation, the chosen venue, first name of your Date-Mate and a brief description of who you will be meeting. The venue is mutually agreed upon, through us, between you and your date. It’s a no pressure approach to dating. If your Date Mate is someone you wish to see again and if you would like us to exchange your e-mail address, we will take care of that.  Or simply tell us ‘next please’! For each Date-Night, you will meet a different partner, chosen for you based on your mutual aspirations, expectations and likes.

Here for you and your goals while adding a dash of UK sense and sensibility. 

Frequently Asked Questions - Matchmaking

What information is exchanged with my ‘Date-Mate’ prior to our arranged date?
Prior to your arranged date, matched daters are only given each others first names. After we consult with both daters, a night and venue is arranged with details of the venue, time and day of the meeting and the first name of your ‘Date-Mate’. Personal information such as e-mail, address or phone numbers are never exchanged by us and we urge our daters to use the same prudence.

Do you do an employment, credit or financial verification?
Our primary concern is the safety of our guests. Every dater you meet is a registered guest of our speed dating, business networking and/or our matchmaking programs. We do not solicit singles from locales such as bars, nightclubs or gyms. Our due diligence combined with our policy of daters meeting Date-Mate’s at a venue arranged by us – we feel creates an atmosphere free of worry and allows our daters to relax and enjoy the moment. We don’t find it necessary to prejudge an individual based on earnings. Our clients are as ambitious as they are sophisticated, either atop of, or on the ladder to success. Prejudging a dater today, we feel, does an injustice to their accomplishments tomorrow.

Are events included in my Matchmaking Package?
Yes! A wonderful bonus to purchasing our Matchmaking Packages is the ability to attend our speed dating events at no additional charge to you. When you see an event you fancy attending - simply let us know and we'll add you to the guest list. There is no limit to the number of events you may attend with our compliments for the duration of your package. Attending events is an important part of the process and an excellent opportunity for us to get to know you better, for you get to know our daters and for us to see who is drawn to you. As well, many Matchmaking daters find our events the perfect way to narrow down what they are looking for and learn a bit more about themselves in the process.

How can you charge so much less than the competition?
We don't have to spend money recruiting daters. We are sought after for who we are and the level of dater we attract, affording us the luxury of daters finding us, rather than the expense of having to find daters.

What happens if I do not notify you of a cancellation?
If you do not show up for a scheduled, confirmed date without any notification, you will forfeit the remainder of your date-mate package.  We have a zero tolerance policy for no-shows.  With prior notice, we will work with you on rescheduling your date and understand sometimes things happen that are beyond your control and we ask that daters be considerate of each others schedule changes.

How do I attend a televised event?
Always a lovely bit of fun! We are quite chuffed to attract such attention and are over the moon that our daters are seen as such trendsetting singles. As a participant in our Matchmaking program, should you fancy attending a special event or televised event - just let us know

May I bring a friend?
Let’s Double Date! While you can’t bring a friend with you on a Date Night, we do allow friends to ‘Double Date’. You and your friend can select your own matchmaking package, let us do the details, match you both up with your perfect ‘Date Mates’ and send you, your friend and new Date-Mate’s off for a fabulous night on the town.

How do I let you know my preferences?
After you select your matchmaking package, you will receive a confirmation e-mail with details and questions to help us find your Date Mate. Tell us as much as you like! The more you offer, the better we can match. Our staff will review your preferences and get to work finding your match, making arrangements and sending you off on your date night.

Do I have to go to a venue or restaurant chosen by SpeedSanAntonio?
Of course not! You are free to choose any restaurant, venue or event you wish for your Date Night. Simply let us know what you have in mind so we may pass the reservation details onto your Date-Mate.

Am I obligated to use my Date Nights over a certain period of time?
You may use your Date Nights at your leisure.

What is the age range?
Our Matchmaking age range is similar to that of our events; our daters tend to be between early twenties to early forties.

What is ‘This, that and the other’?
Consider it our Concierge Service.  Let us know what you need – everything from fashion tips to relationship advice, to being well-groomed!  We have all the perks! Let us make your personal appointments or dinner reservations at the venue of your choice or ours - whilst you enjoy the lovely treatment!

What if I don't have the ability to act like a lady or gentleman? 
Oh dear - how unfortunate. We do have a zero tolerance for any rudeness - of any sort. We attract such great daters but find - as in life - not every dater is ideal. Our daters are also our product and we go to great lengths to ensure everyone meets lovely daters. We want the right daters not just any daters. Behavior short of lovely will result in a dater being banned from the company. This may upset some but we feel our daters as a whole appreciate the extra effort and we hope you do too.

How do I get started’?
Simply email us at info@speedsanantoniodating.com with some information about yourself and your goals. If we believe we can be of assistance to you - we'll send on details for you to purchase your desired package.

In-Person Speed Dating | FAQ

What is SpeedSanAntonio Dating & UK Style?
SpeedSanAntonio Dating is imported directly from the UK. It is traditional Speed Dating with an English touch. A relaxed and comfortable approach to speed dating. Rewarding lovely daters with discounts and complimentary events while saying no thank you to anyone we don't think you'll fancy meeting.

Do the British really do it better?
Most American speed dating parties are a bit like being at a college job fair. Complete with stop watches, whistles and a footie captain yelling “times up” in yer face! We at SpeedSanAntonio Dating, do things a wee bit differently. We don’t find anything romantic about name tags, microphones and whistles – so we don’t use them!

Do you have to be British to attend?
Absolutely not! We are British founded and inspired but our daters are just like you.

What type of people can I expect to meet?
We tend to draw a crowd that is confident and amusing, diverse and adventurous, while always being cheeky. Daters that tend to set the trend rather than follow it. We are in part defined by our venues and our crowd reflects such.

How do I reserve my place?
Simply select the Event Schedule for a listing of our events. Register online and you're all set! No paper tickets are required. You will be sent a confirmation from us and your name will be noted on our Guest List.

~~

Do you screen your speed daters?
In the 14 years we have had the pleasure of serving daters we've noticed the nicer a dater is to us, our hosts and each other, the more matches they get. Much like a private club, not every dater is for us. Those that tend to see the good in everything and everyone - are just what we and our daters are looking for. If we don't think a dater is someone that fellow daters would get on with - we'll respectfully decline service and reserve the right to do so.

How do I get invited to complimentary events?
By being as delightful and lovely as you can. We don’t judge by looks or your match results; Instead, we look at your interactions with our staff, hosts and fellow attendees. When daters stand out for being the best version of themselves and found to be just what others fancy in a mate - the world of cheeky is theirs! They can expect complimentary events and matchmaking opportunities at no additional cost to them. It is where lovely meets value - SpeedSanAntonio style.

How do I get banned?
While we appreciate dating is highly emotional, we have zero tolerance for any behavior that upsets your fellow daters, our hosts or our staff. We place a great value in the feedback we receive from daters about fellow daters. While singles may have differing opinions in whom they find attractive, what they are looking for in a mate or their personal goals - finding someone nice and lovely is universal. We don’t tolerate any less and don’t believe you should either.

Are you affiliated with any 'Meet-Up' groups?
We think 'Meet-Up' is a lovely free service that gives those of similar interests the opportunity to connect. We do question businesses that promote their events through "Meet-Up" groups - only to redirect you to their own website. Some companies tout that they partner with many organizations including Craigslist offerings and 'Meet-Up' groups for their events. We do not.

What happens if the event is sold out?
We wish we could accommodate everyone! Unfortunately, the fun goes quick! You can email info@speedsanantoniodating.com for information as to the process of being added to the wait list.  Also, it is a good idea to keep checking back on our website as sometimes reservations become available at the last minute. We are continually updating our event calendar.

What time should I show up for the Event?
Published start times can be found in the event description. Please try to avoid doing anything unsafe in your attempt to arrive to the event on time - we do like to wait for all participants to arrive. This may cause an event to start late but we feel a perfect opportunity to chat up the hosts, have a lovely refreshment and settle in. There is no set start time for the speed dating portion of the night - we like to wait for all daters to arrive, settle in and grab a refreshment before the speed dating portion. 

~~

What is a SpeedSanAntonio Dating ‘Date Mate’?
A ‘Date-Mate’ means you have a match! You listed each other on the Top 5 portion of your scorecard and the email address you registered with will be exchanged with this person 24 hours after the event. Only daters that garner matches are notified approx. 24 hours after the event. Should you wish to be notified if you do not garner matches or have any inquiries after the event - feel free to email us at info@speedsanantoniodating.com. We’re here 24/7.

How long will I chat with my Prospective ‘Date-Mate’?
Chat up your prospective 'Date-Mates' 6-7 minutes at a time. Sometimes, for our larger events, this may be shortened by 1 or 2 minutes to accommodate all of the mini-dates in a timely fashion.

So Little time; So much to say.
Don’t worry. In today’s world we tend to know in a matter of minutes if we ‘click’ with someone. You can also chat further with your prospective ‘Date-Mate’ at intermission or mingle after the event. Just have fun and go with it!

How will I know I have any SpeedSanAntonio Dating ‘Date Mates’ and how do I contact my SpeedSanAntonio Dating ‘Date-Mate’?
For daters that garner matches, you will be notified via email of your ‘Date-Mate’s’ first name and email within 24 hours of the event ending. Your ‘Date-Mate’ will also receive your name and email.

Can I return for free if I don't get a match at an event?
Unlike other speed dating companies that offer free spots to those that don't receive matches, we take a different approach to returning guests. Those whom are delightful and absolutely lovely - are often invited back with discounts or with our compliments. This encourages a fabulous pool of daters others want to meet.

~~

Is Food included with my SpeedSanAntonio Dating ticket price?
From time to time venues may provide light nibbles for the guests. This is at the venue's discretion.

How long does a SpeedSanAntonio Dating event last?
The length of an event is based on the number of daters in attendance. Generally, our events last about 2 hours including intermission.

What Happens when the Event is over?
That‘s up to you! Most Daters say this is when the fun really starts! Feel free to stay and mingle for as long as you want.

How Many People Will I Meet?
SpeedSanAntonio Dating events vary in size, anywhere from 16 - 30 singles register for any given event. 

~~

Can I pay without doing it through the Internet? Register/Info
Payment can only be accepted through the website. We only accept payment via our secure and encrypted checkout systems. If you have questions, please feel free to contact us directly at 1-866-WE SPEED.

What Should I Wear?
Well the British always like to dress it up. However, dress how you feel. No riff-raff please.

I Am Older or Younger than your age ranges – may I still attend?
Of course you may. Our age ranges are merely suggestions. We offer many age range categories. Please feel free to select the age range most comfortable for you. If you don’t see a range suitable for you please check back or let us know.

Will I be photographed or filmed?
You will absolutely not be photographed or filmed without your prior consent. While we and our daters are often called upon for special filmed events, they are scheduled as private events and are by invitation only.

What if I don't have the ability to act like a lady or gentleman?
Oh dear - how unfortunate. We do have a zero tolerance for any rudeness - of any sort. We attract such great daters but find - as in life - not every dater is ideal. Our daters are also our product and we go to great lengths to ensure everyone meets lovely daters. We want the right daters not just any daters. Behavior short of lovely will result in a dater being banned from the company. This may upset some but we feel our daters as a whole appreciate the extra effort and we hope you do too.

Can you tell me more about your promotion for Cancer Awareness?
We are super excited to announce our partnership with The Joan Gaeta Foundation for Lung Cancer Awareness. Our 'Nights For Suzanne' is a great way to give back and have fun while doing it! Donate to any Cancer charity of your choice in the amount of your purchase - let us know you did - and we'll add you to the guest list of your desired event. It's that simple.
