For regular speed dating events, the minimum number of guaranteed dates is 8 and the maximum number of dates would be 12-14.  If you ever had less than 8 dates, your next event would be free.

Q: Do I need a Reservation?

A: Since space is limited, you will need a reservation. Our events are private parties and without a reservation there is no guarantee that a space will be available. You are welcome to call 516-908-9638 us the day of the event to see if we have a last minute cancellation, but there are no guarantees. If there is a cancellation you can register on the spot. However, if the event is full, we regretfully will not have space for observers. We suggest you call the day before the event to check for cancellations

Q: I am having trouble making a Reservation. What should I do?

A: Please contact us at 516-908-9638 and we will gladly help you through the registration process.

Q: What will happen if I need to cancel?

A: No problem! Please disregard the notice that all sales are final. Refunds will gladly be given if we are notified within 5 business days of the event that you can not attend. A $7.00 processing fee per ticket will be assessed.  If you cancel 1-4 days prior to the event, you can receive credit towards another event.  No refund or credit will be issued for same day cancellations.

Q: What if I become sick last minute and can not attend?

A: We certainly understand that things can happen last minute, but unfortunately we can not issue a refund or credit for a last minute cancellation. It is the same concept as having tickets to a Broadway show and needing to cancel last minute. We only have a limited number of seats for each event.

Q: What if I attend an event and already know I won't like anyone and would like to leave?

A: We understand that every event draws different people and you may sometimes feel like you do not see anyone you are attracted to. You can not always judge a book by it's cover and we ask that you please give people a chance. If at the end of the evening you do not select anyone, we will give you 50% off your next regular speed dating event. We hope you can appreciate the time and effort that goes into running an event, and maintaining a balanced gender balance is not an easy task. Since you made a commitment by registering for the event, we do ask that you stay in its entirety. If you leave, you are not giving people a chance, altering the gender balance of the event, and affecting the coordination of how things are run. Additionally, many events get sold out and we may not be taking additional reservations from your gender because we are holding the space for you.

Q: Why do you require proof of age at the events? Nobody else does!  What if I lie?

A: People pay good money to come to our events and we do not believe it is fair to advertise one thing and deliver another. We do give a one-year grace on the ages for speed dating and two years grace on other events. We frequently hear complaints about other events where the age groups are way off and the customer walks away feeling cheated. That will not happen at a WeekendDating.com event.

If you lie about your age, you will not be allowed to participate and will not receive a refund or credit towards another event.

Q: Why do most of your events have the male top age higher than the female? That is unfair!!

A: We agree it is unfair and in an ideal world age would not matter. However 80% of the men we speak with are looking for a woman who is younger, where 50% of the women we speak with are looking for a guy who is older. This is why the age brackets are structured the way they are. We have tried to hold events where the ages are the same for men and women, however the turnout suffered. We do hold some non-speed dating events that are open to all ages, or where the ages are equal.

Q: Why don't you have events for women over 59 and guys over 66? Are we dead???

A: Unfortunately we do not have enough men who want to participate. We have lots of great ladies, but just not enough guys.

Q: Why is space limited at some of your BBQ's for the 50's age group? Are we second-class citizens?

A: Absolutely not. We have found that if we do not limit the age 50's bracket for the BBQ's, the gender balance will skew to about 75% women, 25% men. By limiting the event to no more than 10 women and 10 men for the 50's bracket, the gender balance for the entire event remains about equal. We would rather you be annoyed at us for limiting the participation of age 50's, than be annoyed at us for putting on a poor event with a lopsided gender balance. Q: How do the discounts work?

A: Discounted rates are provided to individuals on the mailing list. Individuals will use special discount codes found in the email newsletters when registering for events. These discounts can not be combined with any other special offers. If two discounted rates are available to the customer, the customer will receive the value of the greater discount.

Q: Is Weekend Dating a Service?

A: Unlike a dating service that can cost thousands of dollars, Weekend Dating assists in the matchmaking process. We just bring single people together for a fun time out in hope that it may lead to more. We reserve the right to refuse admittance to any individuals based on our discretion.

Q: Why did you start Weekenddating.com?

A: It is not easy meeting single people nowadays. For starters, the awkward first approach can be very uncomfortable. The bars or clubs may not be the best place to meet a quality person to date because we already start with a conflict of interest. Most women have said that they go to bars/clubs to hang out with friends, while most guys go to "pick up." Many women wont even consider a guy they meet in a bar or a club because "he is probably just looking for one thing." So where do you go to meet people? This question has led to the popularity of speed dating. Our singles events takes online dating to the next level, getting people out from beyond the computer and cuts right to the chase. People come to make new friends, and possible new romantic connections. ?

Q: What venues do you hold events at?

A: Our venues have included Mustang Harrys, Bruno's in Ronkonkoma, Cats Meow in Smithtown, Jillian's of Westbury, The Sly Fox, Luckys in Queens, Noche Blue in Levittown, RC Dugans in East Meadow, Mulcahy's in Wantagh, Brandywine in Bay Ridge, Delia's Lounge Bay Ridge, Greenhouse Cafe in Bay Ridge, and Pazzo Bay Ridge, NY ??Non speed dating events take place in a variety of places.
