    My roommates told me about Events & Adventures and I got interested because I was trying different and fun things. I was nervous before I showed up for the first event since it's a new thing, new group, new people, and it took a few events before it got better. I've attended about 40 events over the years - yoga, international eats, mixer stuff, New Year’s Eve party, etc. and my favorite is skydiving. There’s a lot of really cool and interesting people I've met and I've also made new friends. Events & Adventures is working out perfectly for me.

    I was a little nervous during my first event with Events and Adventures, but it got more comfortable. Their events got me interested with them and now, I've gone to about 25 of their events, such as dinners and the Whirlyball. The trip to Tahoe was a little different than most and it was my favorite. We went to a house there and it was fantastic. My experiences with Events and Adventures takes time but they're a lot of fun.

    I was new to the area and I’m pretty social. I didn’t have any friends and I wanted to be able to get out and meet people so I joined Events and Adventures. I felt good and excited before I attended the first event but, afterwards, I’m not extremely impressed with the organization. I have already attended six events and my favorite was the Whirlyball. I went to a mix and mingle, a young and professionals dinner, trampoline dodgeball which got cancelled a couple of days prior to the event and a game night as well. I was able to meet and date someone for a month and a half. However, a lot of events felt really unstructured.

    Moreover, their website is atrocious but I know they didn’t build it so I don’t want to be too critical. But it’s terrible and it’s well-known throughout the E&A culture that the website is very hard to navigate and to figure out. The dates and times are horrid. We pay a lot of money and the experience isn’t almost worth paying the amount. If I knew what I know now, I would have never joined.

    Events & Adventures caught my interest because of the fact that somebody else was planning stuff for me to do. I was excited when I attended my first event. I joined in July and tried to go to about three or four events a month and I've been going for eight months now. My most favorite event was a poker night at a local restaurant and it's a free to play. Then on Sunday, I'm going to brunch. I'm possibly going to a social on Tuesday, trivia on Thursday, potentially top golf next week on Monday, and the beauty night next week on Tuesday or the 28th and 29th.

    I've made lots of friends from attending their events, but I haven't found a significant other yet, which is fine since that's not why I joined. If it happens, it happens. Events & Adventures is a fabulous way to find out what's going on within the community that you wouldn't normally have heard about. Also, find things to go and do that I don't think I ever would have found on my own without somebody else telling me about it. I love the variety.

    I'm interested in going out and trying new things without having the pressure of trying to find somebody to be in a relationship with. And when I first joined Events and Adventures, I was really nervous. But everybody has been really nice and they brought me in right away. I attended five events within the whole month that I have been in the club, and my favorite event was the laser tag. I was kicking everybody’s butt, although the boys weren’t too happy about that. I have also gone to a lawn bowling event, pub Olympics, karaoke, and a new member's thing where we just talk about the club.

    I made some new friends through those events and I was also invited to a small group who have a potluck about once a month. But it’s hard because the group is in Minneapolis and I live an hour and a half from there. I met great people whom I had a lot of fun with. It was nice getting out, meeting new people, and being able to do things that I don’t normally do, like getting in front of people and singing in the karaoke. I would definitely recommend it to anyone, even though it's not my thing anymore because it's a group for singles, and I met someone and we’re talking about getting married.

    The first time I went to an event of Events and Adventures I was a little uncomfortable, I stepped into something I didn’t know. But it went out pretty smooth. I gradually went on with it and it’s pleasant to talk to people. I've attended 12 events and among those the hang gliding was interesting. I also liked the shooting, which was good and fun. The bike ride that is canceled because of the rain then there’s one horseback riding that I’m going to. I also see people, we talk and text a couple of times. They're like an at-the-event type of friend; it’s when you see them you'd go, “Hey” or “Hi” “How’s it going?” and things like that as they were not deep into my private life. Overall I would say I’m satisfied, I like the different outdoor events that they plan.

    I first heard about Events and Adventures on a radio ad and it sounded like something different that I was interested in trying. I was pretty nervous before arriving to their first event but it changed after I arrived. My first event was a Mediterranean eats and we went to a restaurant in Greenville. And just about every week, I’ve gone to at least two or three events. We've done a day hike which was my favorite, and then karaoke at Fresco Bar, Publympics at the Fox & Hound and for the most part, the events that I really like to do are the ones that involve a lot of physical activity. Like the indoor rock climbing that we did in Grapevine was a lot of fun. I'm also open to everything and it's getting more cool now that I'm meeting more people and it feels like a little community. And even if it’s not an activity that I would normally be interested in, if I know I’m with cool people then it’s going to be a good time regardless.

    I have attended around six or seven trips with Events & Adventures and I met a couple of friends during those trips. My favorite one amongst them is the paintball. A couple of days ago, I went to a hamster ball soccer, wherein I was inside these rubber balls. In the next couple of weeks, I’m also going to Ireland through them. I initially thought signing up with them was going to mean more adventurous and outdoor activities. I sent a feedback via email and then somebody got back to me and said that when the weather warms up a little bit more, there are going to be more of what I was thinking that would be happening. However, I’m dissatisfied with the price of the membership and the monthly dues. I think that I could’ve scheduled some of the stuff on my own. It seems like I end up paying for the activities that I like to do.

    I got interested in one of the activities of Events & Adventures. I felt a little awkward when I arrived to my first event, then I got to know people and introduced myself and whatnot. It was at Malone’s Bar downtown. They put us in the back and the music was playing loud there so it was hard to hear everything. I've attended quite a few events like salsa dancing, mostly at clubs, volleyball every Wednesday. I also went on the ski trip back in November. I didn’t go with the club but we met with the Seattle people and that was cool. Rock climbing was my favorite, I’m a pretty active guy so I liked all the sporty events. Then I’m going to indoor bubble soccer, they'll put us in a huge bubble and play soccer. I’ve always wanted to try it and I’m excited. I definitely made a lot of new friends and it's been pretty good.

    Events & Adventures is a fun way to meet new people and try activities that I would never have done on my own. It's almost like having my personal planner. A bunch of it is a known group of people that I feel safe doing crazy things with. I know that they're all single and I don't have to feel awkward about going into something and not knowing where people are. I felt a little cautious and nervous about what I was getting myself into before coming to my first event because the salesperson that I talked to initially made me feel like it was a scam and I certainly did not appreciate her hard sell. Except for this salesperson experience, however, the club itself is worth it and actually much better than what I thought it would be.

    I've attended from six to eight events and trips - a coffee social, a stair hike, a fun run, a food bank, a new member meeting, and happy hour at a bar. I signed up for dancing this weekend, so I'm looking forward to it and hope that's going to be my favorite activity. I've met good acquaintances in the events and adventures. I've only been there a couple of months but so far, so good.

    I was after finding another circle of friends. Meeting people is always fun and I'm a social butterfly. The first event was well-organized. I got to play a little indoor volleyball, which was fun, and met some funny people. I liked it. I've done two volleyball events and one birthday bash for everybody who has birthdays in January. I like the variety of choices that Events and Adventures comes up with on the schedule. With my travel schedule, I haven't been able to do some of the ones I've wanted to do. But the members that deal with scheduling did a good job and always extremely nice, helpful, and welcoming. It's a good organization. I've recommended it to a couple of friends.

All of the people there have been great. They came, talked to me and asked me questions, like what I do. They make friends with you all the time and it makes you comfortable. I've met a lot of new friends there and we actually now hang out even on our own time, not like an event from E&A. I also brought one of my friends with me to one of the events and he really liked it. I tried to do at least one event a week.

My favorite was the scavenger hunt.

    I have such a busy work schedule that can go on to different, unusual hours and I was new to the area. I joined Events and Adventures because of the opportunity to be able to do something social every night of the week with multiple events, depending on what was going on with me, and then the chance to get out and meet people. At first I was feeling nervous and unsure because I haven't done anything like this. But I'm way more comfortable now after being a member for a year and a half. The host was very good, and I'm friends with the host now as well.

    I've tried doing events but I haven't done any trips yet. The volleyball that we do every Wednesday night out here in Dallas is definitely my favorite. I like any activities that's athletic. We did fencing, a Wallyball event, the Laser Tag which we did a couple of weeks ago, and the Digital Scavenger Hunt last month. Games night is also a good one I go to, and I did some Happy Hours last week. I try to do about six or seven events a month. If I go to two events in a week, it's a good week. But I try and get to at least one event a week.

    I've met a bunch of friends definitely, especially in this area. I even go out or we stay in contact outside of events and make sure to see how people are doing. I've made about 12 to 20 very close friends right now and plenty of acquaintances along the way. It's definitely been a good experience. It's adventurous and social, and puts me out of my comfort zone. It's like a personal growth.

    Signed up for Events and Adventures. Went to several events and all the events I went to the age of the members were much younger than me and all knew each other and I was not able to communicate with anyone. They were all in their 30's mostly and no one in my 57 year old range. They were very group and didn't seem to want to talk to me or even dance with me. I can't blame them. I have children that age. I was told there would be people in my age group. I asked some of the younger guys what they had paid and they all responded $500-$700 dollar membership fee. I paid $1995.00. The lady that interviewed me asked how much money I had in my banking account and I thought that was odd. I think you may be getting charged by what you can afford and not a fair and equal rate. Too many males vs females. What I was told about E&A has not been true. I want a refund on my money for my membership. What I was told is not true. Thank you!

    I was going through a Google search for singles events in Chicago and Events & Adventures was the first one that popped up. It's so well-organized, which got me interested. A lot of other places just have a party at a certain place on certain dates. Events & Adventures do a variety of events and there are events every night, there's a host, and all the information are on the site.

    On my first event, I was put immediately at ease - the host was really nice and people talked to me. I've probably been to close to a hundred events, if not more, in my year of being with the group. The skydiving was the best! They also do a lot of dancing events like ballroom dancing and Latin dancing, and I've gone to a lot of workout events. I've gone as well to Laser Tag and Archery Tag. They're going to a club called Drop this Saturday which I'm probably gonna go to right after the Laser Tag event.

    I've made a ton of friends, even one who works in the same building as me. He comes up everyday after work, and we hang out and talk about an hour while I'm doing my stuff. We also carpool a lot. I appreciate so much the friendship that I get to experience when I go to the events. The group got me to be so much more social, adventurous, and willing to try new things, even those activities that aren't with the group or those which I do not have the confidence to do. I have a huge network of friends and get invited to way more stuff than I can actually go to. There's so many days where I go, "Okay, I have four things tonight and I have to pick one."

    One thing I really appreciate is our event coordinator. He always asks us for input on what events we like to see and he always takes it into consideration. A lot of times I'll find an event I suggested up on the calendar. I also just appreciate how well it's run that I never have to worry about showing up but then the event was canceled and no one told me. Events a& Adventures is professionally run and they always seem to listen to feedback, which makes me feel like I have a say in the group. It's life-changing and I definitely recommend it.

    What interested me most about Events & Adventures is the fact that you can go to as many or as few things as you want. They are already set up for you so you don't have to plan anything. I haven't done any of the trips but I've been a member for three years so I've seen a lot of events, two to five a month. My favorite is game night where we play board games, volleyball and eat food. In of the activities I attended, we played capture the flag outside at a park and that was fun. They also do a restaurant happy hour where they have deals going on. I did whirlyball one time and we went to the Fox and Hound and it's darts and billiards.

    I wanted to get out, meet more people and do activities with the people that I met, rather than trying to meet people online so Events and Adventures caught my interests. Though it’s scary to go to an event where you don’t know anybody for the first time. Since being a member, I went to a bowling event at REVS Bowling and I went to a mingle at the Cheshire Cheese and another mingle that was like an Ugly Christmas Sweater party. Their New Year's Eve party was fun. I went to the masquerade ball, had dinner and dancing.

    However, I'm concerned that in most of the events, there's considerably more women than men. I'd met some really nice ladies but I've got lots of girlfriends already. Having said that, I met a man on New Year's Eve and we've seen each other a few times since then. What I liked about the New Year's Eve Party was that there were lots of people there and that meant there were lots of people to meet and a longer period of time so you could talk to lots of different people.

    The chance to get out, do stuff and have a social life are the reasons that got me interested with Events & Adventures. I have attended thirty events and trips and have loved the Archery Tag. Upcoming events are volleyball and game night that I plan to join. There's been so many fun people to meet and many fun activities to do. I've definitely made a lot of new friends. I even found a book club through them, which is great. Events & Adventures is awesome!

    Events & Adventures has been okay. I've only used it once though. It was an outdoor hike around a lake and fun. However, it's a little difficult for me to use because it's got to be on my computer. If it had an app that makes it more accessible, it would be a lot easier. In short, it's not user-friendly and I'm not getting updates as expected. Overall, what they provide for people is probably something good for a lot but it didn’t fit my lifestyle as much as I had wanted. They also do a hard sell to get one to sign up right away to get the deals which I did without being able to see a lot of stuff.

    I joined E&A because I'm a middle-aged man tired of the same bar routine, and was looking for someone that was interested in the same. When I joined, I found the majority of the events were catered around drinking, and were poorly organized. Often events were changed or cancelled at the last minute, only attended by the same 10-15 people, and ran by people only interested in getting to the bar to get drunk. I joined to meet someone and explore what my city has to offer, not party.

    More disappointing is that often times I was paying as much as 3 times more for my monthly fee based on my income with the same benefits as someone paying a fraction of the cost. I was told my monthly fee would cover most events, but in fact nearly every event still cost an additional fee when you signed up. I tried to cancel after being dissatisfied but was met with poor customer service. I just expected a more professional company for what I was paying.

    It’s been adventurous with Events and Adventures. I felt nervous, excited and anxious before arriving to my first event but it all changed after I arrived and got a little more acclimated. I attended seven events with them, and out of those my favorite was brunch. I also participated in NightLife at the Academy of Sciences and a moonlit train ride out in Santa Cruz. I’ve also made new friends. It’s a good way of people to meet and hang out that are looking to create their network of friends.

I think it's a really great idea that the events are present for me. So if I'm available, I have something to do if I get out there and be sociable, which is really nice. It's been fun overall.

    What interested me with Events and Adventures is that it's doing fun things with other people who are single and apparently employed, because they can afford to do these things. The big plus is that they do criminal background checks to confirm that these people are single. I've been a member since September and have attended a lot of events like dinners and laser tag. I've also done the Swing dance lessons which was a lot of fun. My favorite is the paintball and the next is the iFLY indoor skydiving.

    I was searching for active groups for singles online and found Events & Adventures. I like that it was more activity-based than a dating website was while being mainly for singles that were actually looking to not be single. I was a little nervous for my first event as I wasn't sure how it was gonna pan out, and it's a different thing. I've attended three of their events - two of the three were game nights and those were really enjoyable. I also really enjoyed the sand volleyball. I made a couple of casual acquaintances so far. I haven't been to many events due to my schedule - other volleyball events always happened on times when I can't make it. A lot of the events are also inaccessible as they're too far away from where I live and not really that interesting to me (like going to bars and hanging out).

    I just recently moved to Phoenix so Events & Adventures was something that I thought would fit me. I inquired and it was exactly what I thought it was gonna be. Being new to the area, it allows me to get out, meet new people and do things instead of just sitting at home. My first event was a fail because being new to the area, I didn't realize it was in an art walk in downtown Scottsdale and it took me a lot longer to get there than I anticipated. By the time I got there, the group had already started the event. So I started walking around to see if I could find them, but I couldn't. I just ended up walking around by myself, and then I just went home.

    The next event was a dinner. I was pretty excited to go and I showed up and had dinner with a couple of people, and it was nice. I had a good conversation and enjoyed it. I also did the hot air balloon ride but that got cancelled because of the weather. We were able to mingle a little bit and talk with some other members before we ended up going back to the Deer Valley Airport where some of us stayed and had breakfast. It was nice to just get out and have conversation with some people. And then it was rescheduled so that was good. I always have a great time with Events & Adventures and I'm looking forward to going out and doing more with the group.

    The weekend events for the Minneapolis club seem to revolve around drinking and eating. I work evenings so I'm unable to attend weekday events. I have given numerous suggestions for different events, most of them never happen. Eating and drinking are great things for hosts to do after an event, it doesn't have to be the scheduled event. I maybe attend 1-2 events each month because of this.

    There are days when no event is scheduled or Saturday's when only one event is scheduled. Many of the events are located on one side of the metro area, there are plenty of possibilities in all areas of the metro. Event coordinator does not communicate. I used to be a host, somehow I'm not a host anymore. I have not heard a word from the event coordinator as to why I cannot host anymore. I was never told why. I also had issues with being paid for events that I hosted.

    Office staffs are not good communicators. They do not talk on the phone, need to come to the office to get anything taken care of. I came into the office and found the staff watching football on their computer. They had not fixed issues I was having with my membership, football must be more important??? My access to the website was denied but dues were still being taken from my banking account. Had to talk to three different people to get it fixed. Why have we had 3 event coordinators in the year I have been a member? I'm not impressed with this club and have encouraged people not to join. I don't feel the amount I'm paying in monthly dues is worth what I'm getting.

They have events in the city of Chicago as well as the suburbs. The first event I attended, there was a bunch of snow on the ground so I was a little bit more nervous about driving. We also went on a whitewater rafting, one-day trip to South Bend, Indiana. It was a class 2 rapids. Once in awhile, we go on hikes. We've gone to some that are kind of far away and some of the art classes are fun doing paintings.

    The new coordinator they have now, Alex, is probably the best one they've had. There were quite a few events that were fun and I met some good people. There aren't many people within my age group because I'm an older person. Some of the stuff that I'd like to go to, I can't because there are days that I just can't attend.

But once I found out where it was and got there, I was fine. It's a little bit of a trek for me but people come from all over, even Tucson, so I'm not the one travelling the farthest.

I still have plenty of things to choose from that are more East Valley, so it's pretty good. I'm looking forward to golf this Sunday as it's a little more active than some of the things that I've been to so far. I want to try to start going to some of those. There's a lot of hikes and they have concentrated the hikes on the Piestewa Peak and South Mountain. It'd be nice to have some hikes more at East Valley as we have some beautiful hikes out there too.

    I've been to four events now. I've been to a barbecue and the Ballet under the Stars which was really nice. I also went to the country-western dance thing and the monastery the other night. Each experience is different and it depends on the group that's there. I exchanged numbers with one of the ladies at an event and we're going to get together and hike some time. It's nice that there is no pressure to date and it's just getting together with people that have similar interests. I don't have to eat alone because I'm with a group of people that aren't eating alone either. I also like the fact that I can take somebody that might not be interested and they can enjoy the experience too.

I know that there were women that felt that way and discussed it on the spot. A few people were taken aback and a little offended on it that were in our group. That was unfortunate.

I was interested about the club because when I go to all these other places, it’s fine but I'm not sure whether everybody’s really single or not. But when I go to Events and Adventures, I know it’s going to be a group of fifty or a hundred and they’re all single, so everybody’s up for grabs. That’s the good thing about Events and Adventures, and it's nice to know that there’s no hidden agendas in their events like, “Oh, I’m going through a divorce,” or “I got two baby mommas in and two wives on the side.”

    For the first two and a half years with Events and Adventures, I wasn’t really ready to attend events so I was doing it sporadically here and there. In the last four months, I’ve been trying to get to six or more events a month. I’m making time for it because I’m ready. The cruises are really fun because they last long and there’s a lot of sea and it’s beautiful. I like the Dancing Under the Stars at Jack London Square because it’s not just all dancing. When it’s over, I can go to the bars and could eat if I want to. Everything is centered right there and parking is very available.

    I also went to the Castle event and did wine tasting, which was good because I love wine. I want to start going to the movies that they show in the park - where I can see the movie but then could sit down in a picnic-like area, and to me it’s more personal. I can have time to not just play a game but actually sit there and have a conversation. I’ve made some friends during the events and trips, and everybody’s inviting me to go camping and do other things. I recommend Events and Adventures, and I've been bringing in a lot of my single friends as guests to their events.

I haven't gone to their events for the last couple of weeks now, but it felt normal when I've attended my first event before - I feel it doesn't make a difference one way or the other.

    I did a Google search and found Events and Adventures. I was new to Houston and was looking for a way to get involved in some activities with other singles. I was a little nervous at first but was looking forward to it at the same time. When I met the host, I felt welcomed. It was good. So far, I've attended a dozen of events, usually once a month. Everything's a lot of fun. We go to the beach and I like our monthly game nights. We also had a Crawfish Boil in February. I've made a lot of new friends with E&A although I haven't found a significant other yet but I have recommended friends to the club.

    When E&A first started in Chicago they were a lot of fun, and once they reached a decent size there were a lot of fun events and cool people. The owner and corporate office run it horribly now though, and as a result they have had a crazy amount of turnover of their staff. All the good people have been driven out of the office while horrible manipulate people have remained. The owner only cares about money, while I used to feel like there was a bit of selectiveness to the group (which is supposed to be one of the selling points), now they will let in anyone who can pay. Ironically, though, they don't seem to care about keeping the good members they do have in the club once their initial memberships are over.

    I joined Events & Adventures in August 2013. I moved from Lubbock to Houston in June 2013 to be closer to family and take a new professional position. Things were going great and I was living with family for the first month or so of being in Houston. But shortly thereafter I was sitting at home one night realizing the group of friends from High School I had arbitrarily expected to fall back into just wasn't the same and I needed to meet new people. I knew online dating was basically a scam and heard of E&A on the Radio just about every morning heading to work.

    So I got online and requested more information. To my surprise, within a couple hours had a phone call inviting me to an information session for the next day. I was a little surprised by the expense to join the group, but from what I had read online, and the description of the different types of events planned I was really intrigued! My first event was a Trivia night at Richmond Arms Pub sitting outside eating and getting to meet new people, exactly what I was looking for. A couple months latter I had been to probably 20 or so events and I ended up meeting my Fiance at a Charity Poker Tournament that was collecting toys and raising money for the Toys for Tots program in Houston. I can guarantee I did not join with the expectation of finding someone to ask to marry me and spend the rest of her life with me, but I am glad it happened!

    As someone who grew up in Houston, I found so many new and different places that I had never known that existed prior to joining E&A, and I have met a number of AMAZING new friends that will be lifelong friends even once I am no longer "allowed" to go to E&A events because I will be getting married in 50 days. Haven't been able to go to as many events as desired in the last year because I ended up taking a new job that moved my fiancé and I roughly 85 miles west of Houston and with rush hour traffic would put me getting to the weeknight events about the time they are wrapping up, and still have a 2+ hour drive to get home. E&A is the absolute best program to meet new people and simply learn new things about a town that you thought you already knew everything there was to do.

The events have changed a little bit too - they have new events and new event manager. Plus I haven't really been finding very many events that I'm really interested in going to and their members in the Vancouver area tend to be of an older age group (40's to 50's and I'm turning 32) than what I was led to believe.

I've met some good friends along the way and, oddly enough, somebody --although we just broke up.

    However, the last couple of months, the events have not been what I would call very good because the Vancouver Club has had some issues with the manager. Prior to that, I would have recommended people but in the last couple of months, I’ve barely gone to any events. I put my membership on hold for the month of July because there wasn’t anything that interests me.

But I kept that in mind so when there are new people at an event that I'm at I try to reach out to them, welcome them, and kind of ease the pain for them. I've been a member for 3 years so I've attended a lot of their events. I'm not attending that many per week now like I did the first two years. I'm selective now because I've done a lot of the stuff. I've been on two major trips with E&A too and they were both great. We also do annual camping trips over the long holiday weekends and those were fabulous. I love those and I won't miss one.

    I like the Whirlyball. It was fun. I also like when they do the artsy things like clay, pottery, and glass fusion. Those are really cool too. I don't do too many of the happy hours because I don't have that much time on my hands. But I do go occasionally. I went on the Grand Canyon river rafting trip two years ago. The major trips are offered to all the clubs so you get to meet people from all over the country. It was a once in a lifetime, absolutely blew my mind trip, and it wasn't that expensive. Another one of the really nice ones is the Catamaran trips that we do on the local lakes here. It's called the Shammy 2 and that was a blast.

    Through Events and Adventures I've met a couple that I would consider close friends. I've never dated anybody in the club. I'm a little on the older age group and I've met men in my age bracket that are very nice and such, but no dating on my part. People come and go. New people join and then people whose membership expires, so you're always getting different people. It surprises me how many 20-year-olds join the club. It is a mixed age group. I continue to meet people that are more on my end of the age spectrum. These people are coming and going so you're always meeting new people, which is neat. It's not just a stagnant group of people; it's changing.

    Overall I would recommend Events and Adventures. I've been very happy with my experience with them. I've talked to people that weren't really unhappy but it really wasn't meeting their expectations and so I'm not sure if it's what was presented to them when they were joining. I've always felt that I was very happy with my experience as a member. I've felt like I got what they presented. So I would recommend. As long as it's presented and you get the right perception of it, you would be highly satisfied.

    The first few months when I was in E&A, I couldn't go to any event because I was a teacher and I couldn't get to a lot of them. But after May, the events had just been so much fun. I thoroughly enjoyed them.The first event I went to was a little nerve-racking but it was something I enjoyed which was great. It was painting. I absolutely love it and then after that, I went to a few more and a few more. I go to between 6 to 10 of their events per month. Sometimes I'll do it and then I find out I don't have time and that's the only downside to that. But it's been really nice since I've changed jobs - then I can actually go to more events. When I was in my teaching career, I mentioned E&A to a few of my co-workers who seemed interested.

    The activities that I like have been mostly dancing. We have a party boat that comes every once in a while and I've been to that. Also, I love anything where we're meeting for food - food is always good, that always brings people. I'm actually going to be ready to go to an event today which is volleyball (that's a really fun one) and then we have a camping coming up. There's a lot of dancing and some unique stuff, too like learning archery and sword-fighting - those have been really fun too. I've made many close friends within E&A.

    I first heard about Events and Adventures from the radio. I attended well over 150 of their events. All of the local stuff, not any of the vacation trips since my work didn't allow for it. There were a handful of events that were pretty good like last year's Fourth of July, dodge ball and the game nights were fun and they were pretty good in making it entertaining for us. I made many friends that's why I keep coming back.

    I've only been a member of E&A for months. Not very long but I've met great people, done fun things, and got a boyfriend. I've met him at an evening event so that was great. One disappointing thing is that I'm not from Dallas, I didn't understand that a lot of the stuff they said isn't in Dallas. I don't drive so I end up taking a lot of cab rides. But that’s okay. I'm new to the area so it’s me not understanding what they mean by it.

    I tried to do camping but we had to leave because of the flooding--it was raining for two weeks. It was a big deal and E&A can do something about that. I did the Vegas trip and that was pretty great. There were a couple of glitches but those things happen. I already have recommended it but it is expensive. That is a prohibitive factor for a lot of people that I know. I pay everything upfront but the guy I met, he pays monthly and so he just can't go to this as much as I can which is fun. It’s a good group. And everyone’s been pretty nice. I've been thrilled with it.

    Events and Adventures is pretty good for me, they do what I like. For my first event with them, I felt interested and a little nervous. My first event actually wasn't all that great, but it was interesting so I thought I might give it another try. So I tried it a second time away from a bar because I'm not really a bar person (I was kind of out of my element to begin with on that first event). Once I went to one of the physical activity events, I felt a lot better. Now I go at least three times a week to their events. My overall favorite out of all of them is volleyball - I go every week. I also go to interesting activities that are out of the blue like kayaking and dancing events. I found a couple of friends from the group but I'm not dating anyone inside Events and Adventures right now.

Whirlyball is the best event I've been to. The volleyball is good too. I also tried wakeboarding and it was awesome. That was something I've never done before and I was completely terrified, but since I was going with friends, it was easier. I never would have done that by myself though, so it was really cool.

But it would be helpful when signing up for an event if I knew the age and gender of the other people who signed up so I would know if it's going to be all women or people who are older than me.

    I signed up this February because I like the fact that I don't have to really think about where I'm going out. They already have plans for you and that you just sign up and show up. For me that was a lot more convenient to do because of my work schedule. I was a little nervous at my first event but as soon as I got there, the host was very friendly and he made sure that I wasn't by myself or that I was getting along with everybody. And once I was there, I started talking to everybody else that was at the event. We started talking and doing the event which was pool and ping pong. It was pretty calm and fun. The hosts are pretty good, and when we get to the event, they make sure that we get to know everybody that's there and introduce us. They usually make us feel really welcome as far as like what's going on on the events and they help us out if we have any questions or anything like that.

    I haven't attended any trips due to my work schedule but I've been to over 15 events at this point. I've been to bars like Fox and Hound, we've gone to this monthly event where you go pick a restaurant and try something new, and I've done karaoke, did game night and the ice breakers for the new members. I actually like the game nights at the house. I go to the events and I usually find a couple of people that already know me and we hang out but no significant other yet.

    I got interested in Events and Adventures because of the opportunity to do different things and have more of a structured event coordinator, not going out by myself, not knowing anybody. I was definitely nervous before arriving at my first event but doing Go Kart was something I hadn't done before, so I figured doing something completely different. I went to over 30 events, and out of these, I had some favorites. Whenever something comes up wherein people from the city can go, I usually always go, too. Also, I've done the champion aerobic which is fun. Anything that doesn't have to go too far the city is for me.

    Some of the favorite group activities that I've done so far include the trivia night, wherein we had a lot of people show up and that's what made it more fun because people just mix and match and go around different tables. There's the outdoor hiking too, depending on where you go, but it's going down to the Olen Park area. I did Bubble Soccer, I just went to witness it once but I'm going to participate in the next one. I certainly made friends during these events, and I have definitely put people on my Facebook so that's fun. I do everything that's going on right now. And I know it's not up to the event place, but I would also like to just hang on to a coordinator a little bit more than a couple of months. That way they can get into what we really want to have done. So overall, I would definitely recommend it to others.

I was apprehensive at first because I don't drink and the first event I attended was in a bar. It was okay because I haven't been to bar in a long time. It was great to just go and meet people that were so open and really interested to get to know one another. I've been to 20 events and my favorite was the Whirlyball laser tag event. It was so much fun, and it was at a venue that didn't serve alcohol. I also participated in Volleyball every Wednesday. It's a great chance to go out and play and be active. There would also be frisbee and golf. That was fun because I like being active outdoors.

    Although it's advertised as a singles event where people who are single can get together and maybe make that connection, it was not at all. It is more a place where singles meet. Single as in the legal status, as in not married. There are couples that go to these Events & Adventures, they are boyfriend-girlfriend but because they're not married, that makes them legally single. So, this isn't a place to meet people for dating purposes. The best thing about it though is just making friends. Everyone is so friendly and willing to get to know each other.

    What got me interested with E&A is live meeting, that is, meeting people and mingling in person at first is a lot more attractive than the online thing where, there’s no screening and no policing. People can write anything, then don’t resemble what they wrote. Also, if you are evaluating someone on how they look in person, I’m not offended by a stranger not liking the way I look. But if you develop a rapport with somebody online and then they don’t like how you look, that hurts a lot more. The ability to screen people in person in a social setting is a lot more natural.

    I have seasons where I’ll go about twice a week, which is kind of my maximum. And then in the summer I've gone more than in the winter because I’m not working as much, so I have more time available. The one that I liked the best and have gone to the most consistently is board game night. It’s free and you meet the most people. I found the simpler activities a lot better for what I’m there for, which is chit chat, mingling, and getting to know people. I found that when the events required a lot more focus and attention, there’s actually less time to actually chit chat, mingle, and meet people.

    But there aren't really that many guys there in events I attended. So there’s like 15-20 women and maybe 2 guys who showed up in a lot of things, so I haven’t had that much success in making romantic connections and that sort of thing. It depends on what the event is. And the thing is, I'm not really going to go to football games because I don't enjoy watching football. Maybe there’ll be more guys at the event, but, if somebody else really likes it and I don't and I'm just going, I don’t think that it’s going to be attractive either. And pretending to like something, people are going to find out pretty quickly that I'm not really interested in that activity. It hasn't been that great in finding a lot of guys.

    But so far it has got me out of the house and trying new things, and I'm open to trying new things that I've never done before. I like that aspect of it. I've gone to places that I didn't even know existed in my own city. That's been really good but it hasn't really been fantastic for meeting people. I am satisfied with their services, and I may sign up again but I'm not like, “Oh, there’s an event. What’s going?” It hasn't been as wonderful as that.

When I signed up in January through this month, I was averaging probably at least 2-4 events attended per week. I've enjoyed all of the events I've been in. I do the volleyball every week because that's usually a good time. I also go and shoot pool when they have it. I have also dated a little bit - unsuccessful so far - but I've met a lot of good people and I have even done a few things off-calendar with them.

    For the three months that I've been with Events & Adventures though, I know that there have been at least 3 events that I've provided negative feedback. This is because our event coordinator did not make reservations or notify the places that we were coming and so they were not prepared for us. Also I know that this month, there's at least two days that have no events at all. Our coordinator really has not impressed me much.

    When I first went into Events & Adventures, the office in downtown Chicago, I didn't know what was I gonna do. I was a little nervous about signing up. Will this be the right place for me to join, or is there any other? I was kind of nervous about what was their mission statement, what were their goals of helping young single men and women. Then when I first signed up, there were three most key, equivalent things that I want to accomplish that brings the true me, as I’m trying to become fearless, outgoing, and above all else, seeking a relationship as well as friendship too. That right there is what counts as well.

    The first event I attended was back in September. I attended a few in October. I didn't attend other events in November because I was going to dance studio at the time. But I attended a few more in December, and then January I did a couple more. February, March, I did a lot. And then so far in April, I've done most enough too as well. Last Saturday, I did the Color Festival. That was one of the best events I've ever been to. In fact I’d say it’s number one. Then the St. Patrick’s Day parade was number two, followed by the Last in Love for the Valentine’s Day event at Birds & Blokes was three. The other two in the top five for me, I would say the other Christmas winter party and of course, I want to say going to dance lessons.

    The best experience so far is meeting different people who work in different areas. Then I started meeting different single ladies for the first time, like someone around my age between late twenties, early thirties to be exact. To sum up the experience it’s been amazing, great, great friends, great places to go. In order for them to step up their A+ game, they got to make the next events more interesting. And if they could bring in someone not just near the city, but a couple of them out in the suburbs then a lot more people could attend.

    With Events & Adventures, I've been entertained - I am passing some time well and meeting some new people. I've only gone to two events so far. But their whole team was very engaging of all the members that were there. They got people to talk and mingle. What they advertised as the event is what it was so I wasn't disappointed so far.

    This company will tell you anything to get you to sign a contract. I was told that the majority of the events are free and that the events that cost money have group discounts. That by going to 4 events a month, my membership would pay for itself. I was also told that if I signed a two year contract, instead of a one year contract, the club is free for life after the 2 year period. All of which is not true. The "free" events are free to attend, so you can walk in the door for free, but have to pay as soon as you get there, like going to a local bar or restaurant, you can walk in for free, but then you pay for food and drinks.

    The membership is also not free for life after your 2 year contract period. Apparently, they just don't understand the definition of free. Once I found out I was lied to, I called the company to see if I could cancel my membership, not even looking for a refund, just wanted to stop future payments, but they told me it was past my 3 day grace period, so I was SOL. I signed this contract under false pretenses, and the wording in the contract is not specific enough for me to know that I had been lied to before signing it. The events are stupid. They charge you money to attend a potluck BBQ. If I'm bringing my own food to a public park, why the hell do I also have to pay money to attend?! Worst company ever!

    I was interested in going out - I kinda spend too much time at home - and I wanted to meet some people so I signed up with Events & Adventures. I've been to one event so far mostly due to my work schedule, it's just not putting me in the position where I could go to all those things. However that one I attended was very nice and enjoyable. I was nervous going in but they were actually very welcoming. A lot of people seemed to be interested in meeting other people as well and they seemed a little bit nervous too (so I took it as I was probably about right where I needed to be), but the host did a good job of making everyone feel comfortable and welcomed. From that event, I have gotten a few phone numbers from people that I am now talking to. There are also a few events I'm looking forward to attending in the future.

    I've had my membership with Events & Adventures for two months. What interested me in joining was just getting out, meeting singles and doing things as a group. There were a couple of events that I was interested in but they were already booked like the sushi-making class. I don't have any complaints at all with the experience. It’s just my schedule is such that I just don't have the time to really go as often as I'd like. I pretty much told the intake person that I'm in Houston. I have a full schedule on the weekends of work and then I'm involved with other activities as well.

    I've only gone to one event with Events & Adventures, and I like it. Initially, I was a little nervous but I also knew that one of my friends was gonna be there. I did not really know what to expect because I'd never done anything like that before. When I got to the event, everyone was very cordial. It was nice. It was like when you're meeting a group full of strangers and everyone’s there to meet people, have friends. It was just a normal situation, a normal meeting.

    I looked at some of the activities that were done at Events & Adventures and I thought that the variety of things done would be good as I tend to have different interests. I found it interesting and a good avenue for meeting people who I would get along with. I've been to about 4 events but I haven't done anything with them in a little while because I might be starting a relationship recently but it looks like that's more or less fizzled at this point, so I probably will go back and sign up for some more events pretty soon.

    So far I have attended activities like ballroom dance lesson, murder mystery dinner, indoor golf game and self-defense class. There was also a trivia night that I attended. There are some people that I was getting to know but I don't think I've been to quite enough to establish more than acquaintances right now. There were a number of people there who had been members for a little while and so other people were familiar with them. They were starting to get to know me but I haven't integrated fully into the group. I would recommend Events & Adventures but it would be nice to see what events people or the host was thinking so it would be clear if what was happening is part the plan--like going out for dinner after an official event.

    I was interested in meeting more people locally so I joined Events & Adventures. During the first activity I attended I was a little nervous but excited. When I looked around the people there were the type I wouldn't want to hang out with regularly, so I had doubts. It's a lot of money to put upfront so that was concerning. One of the events I attended was the karaoke night which I like. The volleyball was fun. I like the events which are interactive where I get a chance to talk to people and hang out, as opposed to going to watch a show like the comedy shows. We also had salsa dancing.

    Fortunately I have found new friends in Events & Adventures but I found that you could get some more experiences through meet-ups, and it just depends on the person. Since I am a fairly social person so I think I could have gotten some more experience through meet-ups to meet new friends. I love the people in Events. They're great people that I've met. But overall, I didn't feel like I needed to make the investment in the club to do so.

    Most of my friends are either married or have a boyfriend and I'm still a third wheel. I just want to just do things, go out, and have fun. I'm single and my kids are grown so I just joined Events and Adventures in January and attended activities once a week on average. My favorite was archery because I've always wanted to do it. I also do like to go to dinners because that one you get to know people more. While it's just to have fun on a soccer activity but when you sit down, you get to know people more with the sit-down setting.

    I made some new friends, not really close but if I see them at events. I also befriended all four of them on Facebook. With the events, I wish some were held closer to my area. A lot of them were in San Francisco and there are some that I really want to go to but it's really far. So the timing would be off. Sometimes they start at 5:30 or 6:00 and because of the distance from where I live I know I won’t be able to make it. I usually go on weekday events too because I’m too busy on the weekends.

    I will tell anyone who will listen; DO NOT JOIN EVENTS AND ADVENTURES CHICAGO. This place lack professionalism and has yet to follow up with a response to my email I sent 2 weeks ago...(I heard that's pretty common). Overall, I had a terrible experience with E&A and I don't want anyone else to go through what I'm dealing with. Besides charging you $2000/ for a year membership or $3000/ for two membership, you have to pay monthly as well.

    After going to 3 events I knew this place wasn't for me. The "professional men and women from Chicago" are really just socially awkward people who can't make friends on their own. I thought this would be a great way to meet fun young professional adults who share the same interest as me, however I was left thinking at EVERY EVENT, why am I here? After moving to Springfield IL, 3.5 hours south of Chicago they still want me to pay every month! Please for the love of God, do not waste your money. You've been warned.

    Events and Adventures sounded like something different. I think it's seemingly that I just found something like I've never heard before and it sounded like fun. The first time in an event, I was nervous and anxious because I didn't know what to expect. Afterwards, it's fine. I've been to a number of events like Club Night, bar hopping event, and Cherry Blossom Festival. My most favorite was this soccer ball game where we used doughnuts or plastic balls - it was really fun. Through these events, I met a couple of friends but nothing much more than that, so far. It's an interesting club but I found it as to be like more for people into their 30s, 40s, or maybe 50s. I'm mid-20s, so, it's kind of weird for me. Also, I think it's easier for native English speakers to join this club. Events and Adventures is a great option but it's probably for a different group of people.

The first one I did was a Texan Quash Party and I didn't really know anybody there.

The event I like most was the Trampoline dodgeball. I've also done Wallyball which didn't work so well because there weren't enough people or the skill level of the people that went was a little iffy. I also signed up for the aquarium but ended up going on a different date with someone else other than with the group, but I'm sure that would've been fine, too. I also went to salsa dance lessons.

    I also went to games night which I enjoyed but it was too noisy, but that's going to be the case in a bar. It was joined with a new member introduction which was a really good thing. The guy that did the intro told us an interesting thing, many which I had been told at my first meeting but it was nice to get some of them reinforced.

Last time it won’t let me make a reservation because it has last month’s or last year’s date on it so it’s a bit sloppy that way.

    Misrepresentation of information and Shady Corp Practices with Events & Adventures to find out if they had location in Washington D.C. as I live there. The sales representative misrepresented information of services and there is no D.C. club that they own. I contacted my credit provider to cancel payment and contacted the corp cancellations manager to inform them of my wishes to cancel payment on misrepresentation of services within 24 hours of signing for service. (I have emails of all correspondence.) This was due to misrepresentation of D.C. Club and misrepresentation of services.

    This company advertises professional planned events for singles who are tired of the bar scene and tired of being stood up by their friends who flake. The first event I went to was at a bar and the event was canceled last minute (which was not updated on the site). I ended up sitting at the bar waiting until I text coordinator who told me it was canceled.

    ** (cancellations manager) said my request to cancel was invalid because it was not received within 72 hours by certified mail. I asked for address to send the certified mail to. She responded with it. I mailed the request to cancel with certified mail and took a photo of it and sent it to her and to the VP of the company in Seattle, **, within 49 hours of service signed. ** responded back saying I will not get refund because office in Minneapolis does not have a return policy even though she is the only Corp cancellations manager and she had already told me 72 hours with certified mail was the parameters for the refund.

    No services were provided to me and the cost in question is around $2650 that they currently have not refunded to me. I will keep you updated on how this unfolds, hoping I do not need to take legal actions against the company who apparently WILL NOT stand behind their services, representatives and corp office officials. I have already reached out to multiple parties to validate if any of my civil rights were violated, I just hope this company does not take it that far.

I’m not a drinker and I don’t want to do the bar thing. Another thing was when I signed up I thought the $30 a month was actually going to be the fee for events. But it turns out that it’s like a membership due, and it goes to nothing but the people running it.

    I’ve actually talked with a couple other long time members who are also a little disenfranchised because the quality of events have gone down since they’ve been with them. The bowling night was not worth it since it was overpriced – 26 bucks for not even two games. I would have gone back after my money but since I am in a contract, I don’t have the energy to fight it.

There have been periods where I’ve gone to a lot of things all at once and then I don’t go for two or three weeks. Mostly it’s my scheduling that makes it hard to get to have anything.

    Joining Events & Adventure is my best decision ever. It's simple, and I just have a good time and can get out of my comfort zone. I've had a really good time and I found some really good friends. I've done a lot with them but I haven't done as much as I want to since I'm working and going to school but the events are really great.

    I'm currently having an issue with Events & Adventures because I purchased in a few events I joined in November, and this past weekend, Saturday, I had a bicycle accident and I have a fracture to my pelvis so I called them to freeze my membership because obviously I can't do anything. They declared to freeze it but they'll still gonna take the money out of my account, so I'm not very pleased. I said, "Well, I'll bring a doctor's note." I'm obviously not in any kind of shape to go do anything and I was really upset. So, they said, "Well, the best we can do is just extend your membership like six months beyond the contract." That's well and good but why should I have to pay for something that I cannot participate in. They don't really have a policy in their contract for anything if a circumstance like mine came up where you're ill or unable to participate in events, and that's not a good thing because things like that happens.

    I've only been to three events and I did enjoy them very much and if this didn't happen to me, I would continue to participate. I live in the east bay and most of their events are in the south bay - they have a few in east bay but not a lot. I joined up in San Francisco so that means I have to constantly drive to San Jose or wherever to participate in the events but I'm not willing to do that on a regular basis. So I don't really get to enjoy what they have to offer because they don't have it spread out so that the events happen in San Francisco east bay.

    I really like my experience with Events & Adventures primarily with Seattle. The event host and everybody are really good. We always know what’s going on and what to expect. They do variety events and they ask for input. And I like that they schedule different things and I just show up to what I want. It’s fun while it gives me an opportunity to go out and do things with other people.

    What interested me most about Events and Adventures was that they had events everyday and being able to get out with similar people that had a similar schedule. When I originally moved here, I started working in the service industry. And then I went to a normal 9 to 5, Monday through Friday job. So when I moved, all the people that I'd met and my friends were servers, bartenders, and managers within the service industry. Whenever I wanted to do something, they were always busy, and when they wanted to do something, I was busy...There was a scheduling conflict. That's originally what drew me to Events and Adventures. It was like, "Okay, I'm meeting people having the same availability."

    I've met a lot of great friends through the Events and Adventures. Within the past couple of months, I've attended probably 8 to 10 events and trips. My favorite event so far would have to be the Greece trip that I went on with them. I did meet a significant other but it didn't work out. We went our separate ways and I'm not seeing anybody at this time. But I've met a great group of people here. I have a core group of great friends that I've met through Events and Adventures. We hang out and do stuff anywhere between 2 to 3 times a month outside of the club. We get together on weekends, hang out, chat, play a card or board game, or have dinner.

    I always recommend Events and Adventures to friends that are looking to get out and meet people. Some people want to do a dating thing but I always tell people that's not the primary goal in Events and Adventures. The primary goal here is to meet people, and if you happen to meet that significant other, that's an added plus, but that's not how this club is designed for. I always tell people that if that's what they're looking for, they may or may not achieve that within the club. It's not what they guaranteed...that you are going to meet somebody you're going to spend the rest of your life with.

    It's really exciting going with Events & Adventures. I have attended a lot and the activities are pretty interesting from hiking to just getting together and going to art things. They're all pretty fun. And I remember everyone being very nice and welcoming on my first time joining an event so I had a good time.

    I was a little nervous when I attended my first event because I wasn't sure what to expect, but I enjoyed the event and I think it was a positive experience. I've been a member for 18 months and I attended probably around 120 events and trips, and made friends on those events.

    I joined Events and Adventures on a whim, I didn't do enough research before entering into a contract. I went to an event and the host was kind of flaky and socially awkward and so was everybody else there. I didn't enjoy it and the event was expensive. It wasn't what I was expecting. There wasn't a discount on the ticket. I didn't really feel like going back and investing this time into it. Although I had sunk $1,300. I tried to see if I could get some of that back and they said I couldn't.

    Also, all the events are in the suburbs or most of them are, and I live in the city. I didn't realize that when I joined. Nobody's reached out to me and tried to get me involved in anything. And it's kind of hard to make that step, like go and meet people in a bowling alley. To me, it just doesn't seem interesting. I would not recommend Events and Adventures in summer.

    Events & Adventures is very expensive for a program if you're not able to use it. I did a zipline event with Events & Adventures and it went really well. I really enjoyed that. But in about a six-month period, I only went to three events just because the events were not at a time that worked for me or did not really speak to me. So to spend $1,000 on three events seems a little outrageous, not to mention you have to pay for the event. You know you're paying for the opportunity to participate, but then you're actually paying for the event. So if you can look at the calendar and really be sure that you can participate then it might be worth it.

    I was new in Houston and didn't know any places. I think by Events & Adventures I could experience new things, new places, and find some friends. I had a good time with nice people.

    I've had a great experience with Events & Adventures and would recommend it. Meeting people is what got me interested so by my latest count I've done 15 events. My favorite ones were all the water activities including soft river tubing. All that stuff was all fun! I also have baseball games planned out for March.
