In-Person Speed Dating FAQ
Do you screen your speed 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 along 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 – we notice! They can expect complimentary events and matchmaking opportunities at no additional cost to them.
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.
What happens if the event is sold out?
We wish we could accommodate everyone! Unfortunately, the fun goes quick! You can email info@birdmeetbee.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.
How long will I chat with my Prospective ‘Yes, please’?
Chat up your prospective ‘Yes, please’ 6 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 ‘Yes, please’ at intermission or mingle after the event. Just have fun and go with it!
How will I know I have any ‘Yes, please’ matches and how do I contact them?
For daters that garner matches, you will be notified via email of your ‘Yes, Please’ first name and email within 24 hours of the event ending. Your match 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 ticket price?
From time to time venues may provide light nibbles for the guests. This is at the venue’s discretion.
How long does an 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?
Events vary in size, anywhere from 16 – 40 singles register for any given event.
What Should I Wear?
Wear whatever makes you feel confident and comfortable. No riff-raff please.
I Am Older or Younger than your age ranges – may I still attend?
Of course you may, as long as you are at least 18 years of age. 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.
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.6
