Singles Events Long Island
If you are new to
Speed Dating on Long Island events, check out our guidelines for choosing the right Long Island single event. All events are not created equal. The guide will give you some information in advance that may help you make a decision on which company you want to go with. w
We have all types of Long
Island singles events (speed dating, speed bowling, volleyball, darts, Broadway Shows, mingles and more). Long Island events take place in East Meadow, Huntington, Woodbury, Hicksville and other Long Island hot spots. Speed Dating Long Island events draw singles from Long Island and the surrounding areas.
We adhere to our age groups and do not mix multiple age groups together. We are probably one of the only Long Island dating groups that requires proof of age at most events. 67+ engaged couples, 50+ marriages and a few babies later, we are still going strong. Please feel free to call Jay at 718-757-6933 with any questions after you have reviewed the website..
Thanks to your many suggestions and feedback received over the past 18 years, it is not just for Long
Island singles anymore. Many of the events modify the speed dating format to an
activity and we now have events in Manhattan and
Connecticut..
These events are structured so that you get to enjoy the activity, but are also ensured to meet everyone who attends by incorporating a rotation factor. This eliminates any awkward entrance to exists to conversations.
We held our first Long Island speed dating event for Long Island single professionals on Valentines Day 2003 and have since expanded to Stamford, CT, Queens and NYC. Looking for the ultimate Single Event Long Island? We are your answer!
So who is behind the company and why did it start?
My name is Jay and it was 2003. My friends were all getting married and I needed to get out more. I was working in corporate America when a co-worker said she saw this thing on television called "speed dating" and that it would be right up my alley! Back in those days, all the speed dating events were held during the week.. Although i enjoyed the speed dating events, I could not find any companies that held these singles events long island on the weekend. Furthermore these were all NYC singles events and nobody was doing them on Long Island. So... I decided to start my own company.. It was supposed to be for fun, just to get me out of the house more and never in my wildest dreams did I expect it to become full time.
A close friend owned a bar called the Union Square Lounge in Merrick Long island. This was to be the start of my Long Island Speed Dating events adventure. I made things up as I went along, listened to the people that attended and before long the positive feedback started rolling in. Peoples lives were changing, relationships were being formed and I was making a difference.
Fast forward a few years and I received a cease and desist order from an attorney who said he represented the trademark owner of the term "speed dating". Turns out that a Rabbi had trademarked the term and now wanted his creation back. By this time, the words "speed dating" was red hot and was so popular that it had made its way into the dictionary. It was now a generic term and the trademark could not be enforced. Lucky for me!
I continued to grow the business while working full time and in 2009 I officially cut the cord from corporate america and have not looked back since. It is super rewarding to be impacting peoples lives and I see no end in sight.
The legal name of my business is Long Island Speed Dating LLC, but since the speed dating and singles events long island takes place in NYC, Stamford, Queens and more, I am better known by my domain which is www.Weekenddating.com .. Hope to meet you at an event soon!
