Why So Many Singles Choose Weekend Dating

Weekend Dating has become a trusted name for singles events in Long Island and New York City, thanks to its personal touch, careful organization, and commitment to creating a welcoming environment for everyone. Founded in 2003, Weekend Dating has helped thousands of singles meet new people, form friendships, and even find lasting relationships—over 85 marriages have started at their events!

What sets Weekend Dating apart is the hands-on approach of its founder, Jay. Unlike many larger companies, Jay personally runs the events, ensuring that every detail is taken care of and that each guest feels comfortable and included. If something doesn’t go as planned, Jay is quick to address concerns and make things right, earning the trust and loyalty of countless attendees.

Events are typically held on weekends, making them convenient for busy professionals. Each event is carefully balanced by gender, thanks to a pre-payment system that helps avoid last-minute no-shows. Proof of age is required at check-in, and the format is structured so that every participant meets everyone else—no awkward missed connections or being left out.

Weekend Dating is also known for its transparency and efficiency. After speed dating events, match results are usually delivered within hours, and you’ll receive both mutual and one-way matches, giving you more opportunities to connect. The company is upfront about its policies and always strives to provide a fair, fun, and effective experience.

If you’re looking for a singles event that’s more than just a numbers game, Weekend Dating is the place to start.
