Events & Adventures Reviews

The trips look interesting but it’s one of those things that I could do cheaper on my own if I went to those places. Overall, it’s different than what I expected so I would tell people what I thought of it and let them make their own opinion.

I’ve joined around three events so far. The very first time was bowling. I had a blast because I like bowling. It was great and that’s the reason I went because I knew if I didn’t deal with the people, I wouldn’t care because the activity would be fun for me. It went great and two ladies exchanged phone numbers with me. We’ve texted and communicated so that was fun.

I also went to salsa dancing and it was my favorite. I have always wanted to do that. It was amazing. I met wonderful people. This was a whole new group of people from my first experience. I felt that I could do it where it was judgment-free and nobody knew me. They shared that Tuesday volleyball is a thing to do. You’ll see the same people there because it’s so much fun. There was an event that I wanted to do but I had a conflict because my son plays football so Friday nights is hard.

A lot of the events that I really wanted to do were falling on nights that I have a family obligation. There was also an event that I wanted to do but got canceled due to lack of participation. I’m not a big drinker and a lot of the things tend to be around breweries. I’m not opposed to going because there’s still food there, and you can meet people, and they have non-alcoholic options. I just have to find something that fits in my schedule.

Later I’ll probably do trips. Right now, I have a senior in high school. It’s cool that you can do these trips and it’s something I’m looking forward to because I have two years within my purview so I have time.

I’ve had a wonderful time doing new things with people who are like-minded, interested in doing those activities. It’s not like you go there and there’s a negative Nancy. The people who are there want to be there so it’s a positive experience because of the expectation that we’re going to have a good time. That’s exactly what has happened on the engagements that I’ve participated in. I have already shared about Events & Adventures with some people.

The new calendars come out on the 15th of every month and I just go there and look at it. You have the same calendar that has all the events, and you have a separate spot that shows you the events you're signed up for. If Events & Adventures would arrange that by date, that would be really helpful. Right now, I don't even know how it's sorted, but you have to dig. I've missed several events because I thought it was on a different day. I always thought the soonest one would be at the top, but it's not organized like that. But I don't really plan too far ahead because I never know when I'm working so usually I'm pretty short-notice to sign up.

The events people are very friendly and nice and I can tell that they care about their roles. My interactions with the host or hostess have been usually fine and helpful, because they've gone out of their way to make sure that people can find their way and connect. They're there during the event. However, I've also had some personal issues where I didn't even ask to pause my subscription, where I had a couple of deaths in the family that I had to take care of and my mom was dying. It was months of back and forth with the hospital. I wasn't even thinking to pause but other than that, nobody has reached out to me to even say, "Hey, what's going on? You haven't been signing up. So, is there something going on?" I signed up for over two years. So, I made an investment.

I've had a quite long subscription and I've had some pleasant experiences. But it has not been the experience that I thought it would be, so I haven't signed up for much since I haven't looked on calendars to even to go. If I think of it and Events & Adventures has something, I'll join it. The last thing I went on was two months ago, where I went to an escape room. Again, I had to drive an hour and fight traffic during rush hour, which was stressful.

Events & Adventures needs to do some work on their business model and how they structure, at least, in the South Florida chapter. Not everybody wants to go to a rooftop and drink alcohol, constantly have a party. Some of us can't do that because we have an hour's drive. Also, one of the things that I have wanted to take advantage of is going on one of the group trips, but if I'm not gonna necessarily enjoy the people that I'm around, then I don't know that I wanna spend 10 days on a trip with them out of the country. I had hoped to make some better connections.

Events & Adventures really needs to think about the membership audience that they have, because they have a quite wide range of people who are in their 20s, 30s, 40s, through 60s and 70s, and not everybody does the same thing. While I would want to do some zip line experiences, I don't think being at almost 60 I'm gonna do zip line experiences. I personally don't wanna have to fix this for them. They have enough smart people that they can figure it out for themselves. Would I renew? Absolutely not. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone as well.

I’ve been to three events already. I also went to a bingo and my favorite was the boat cruise on 4th of July to watch the fireworks. It was just an old-timey paddle boat that went around the Lake Union as we watched the fireworks and it was fun. I met a lot of people. There were no cocktails though. It was BYOB. But they did have food. That was a little more to be desired, but everything else was fine. I was signed up for a fourth one, but I ended up working 16 hours that day and I was too tired and didn’t end up going.

Events & Adventures is a good program. But the thing is I’m older and there’s not as many older people doing it and that’s where it falls down a little bit. It’s usually for more younger people between early 20s to 40 and I’m almost 60, so there’s just a little bit of an age disparity there. But that didn’t stop me. There are still a few individuals that are older. So I plan to still continue to attend the events and doing things. For me, it’s getting out. I don’t look my age and I like to be active, go out and do stuff.

I will still encourage others because it’s fun to have friends and places. They have a good schedule and activities.

We travelled outside the country. It was expensive but very well organized. That’s why I went. I was happy about it. I met some new friends on that trip who were from different states. It’s expensive ‘cause you pay monthly, plus you pay for the event. A lot of times, I don’t attend some events because everything’s so expensive.

The club is good with communication. I will send an email, and they respond back right away. Also, I always know when an event or trip is coming up because I have their app.

Because of my work schedule, I could’t go to most of the local events. There are some good events and some not so good, but I get to choose. I met some good people from the club, and that was really cool. Overall, I would recommend Events & Adventures.

The only bad thing about the club is I don't like how much it is to join. It’s $2,500 a year. I signed up for two years, but it was $500 for the second year. I don’t know if that was a deal or not.

I don't know if I will renew it, though. I don't know if I will pay more money to stay in the club. I'm 45 minutes from Boston. There are a lot of things that I choose not to do just because they are not so close. I do things last minute. I might go to the mystery dinner on Friday and the bar on Saturday. It’s hard for me to commit.

I’ve noticed recently there are not many events on Saturday nights and some weekday events start so early. I get that it’s not really their choice when the event starts. But I have noticed that some of them start close to when people get off from work. I’ve heard that from other people in the group too, where they’re saying they wish they could’ve come but they live 30 minutes away from the event and would've been late. Other than that, it’s been a really great opportunity. I’ve been a member of the club for two years, so I’m just beginning my journey with them.

The last event I attended was a bowling night two nights ago, and it included some fun interactions. The girls even invited me to join them at a bar afterward. The hosts are really nice and I appreciate the presence of interesting people like Lucy and Deshaan, who are always friendly. There are plenty of 'cougars,' and considering my past relationship with one, I find this somewhat appealing. The events are enjoyable, but parking can be a hassle sometimes. Overall, I'd rate my experience highly.

I've participated in events like hikes, happy hours, and game nights, all enjoyable. I appreciate the opportunity to engage with others, though I haven't ventured on any U.S. or international trips yet—I primarily participate in local events. However, I'm considering a future trip to a hot air balloon festival, pending my schedule. My only request is additional close-range events for those in Palm Beach County since many current events are further in Broward. I understand there's a host limitation, but having events at West Palm, Boynton, Delray, or Boca could be beneficial. I've recommended this to others. Despite the cost, it's ideal for new experiences without much planning. As a busy single mom, this platform suits me as it offers planned, enjoyable events where I meet people and go out safely.

I eventually decided to join, leveraging a generous discount they offered due to my veteran status. They assured me of consistent pricing, an added free 6-month window, and stability over my membership costs, which was appealing. However, I haven't yet fully tried participating in their events due to many mixed reviews and warnings from friends who've tried similar social clubs, and my own lingering hesitations.

Conversations online with individuals who have similar experiences cautioned me on what I might encounter at these events. Reports mentioned a lack of diversity and attractiveness among attendees, and some expressed familiarity with awkward situations where more attractive participants were persistently pursued, discouraging them from coming back. Despite these warnings, I still fashioned some hope that my experience might differ.

While I didn’t go deep into attending the events, Events & Adventures have thus far been communicative and respectful. I can’t entirely dismiss them without firsthand experience, so judging them purely on service aspects, I’d probably rate them about a 4. Given their positive approach towards accommodating veterans and generally maintained professionalism, it seems fair while I wait to see their true value through direct engagement.

My first experience with Events & Adventures was at a Super Bowl event. Honestly, it felt awkward because I didn’t know anyone and everyone seemed engrossed in their own groups and the game. For a moment, I questioned whether this club was for me. Things changed when I attended my second event—a fun icebreaker session that's held regularly. It quickly became my favorite as it was filled with opportunities to meet and connect with new people.

Up until now, I haven’t attended too many events or any trips, mainly because I travel out of town frequently and the weekdays can be tricky for me. Nevertheless, I'm planning to participate in midweek events since they offer so many enticing things to experience.

The social gatherings are more than just dating opportunities—they're wonderful occasions to mingle. I've met some genuinely nice people here. I've also been inviting friends. I recommend Events & Adventures.

More information about the demographics before you sign up would be really great, like how many people are in their twenties. That would be really helpful. If it's only 10 people, I'm not gonna pay two grand for 10 people, and I'm not interested in making friends with a 50-year-old man. I'm not gonna date him and I don't wanna be friends with him.

Additionally, the two-year commitment feels restrictive, especially when the group doesn't meet my expectations. Allowing a month-to-month option would be more appealing and confident if they believe in the product. If Events & Adventures could address these issues, I believe it could enhance participants' satisfaction.

The idea behind the program is promising, but the execution needs improvement to match the marketing claims. If granted, releasing participants from their contracts can alleviate feelings of manipulation from being locked into an incompatible commitment. Despite these concerns, the individuals involved were nice, just not those I connected with personally.

However, I find some of the events to be overpriced, which is a downside. Considering that I'm already paying a monthly membership fee, the additional costs for things like events can add up quickly. This aspect is quite a drawback since it makes it hard to stay within a budget. Overall, I'd rate my experience around 3 stars because while I enjoy participating, pricing adjustments would greatly enhance the experience. If you're considering it, just be mindful of those extra costs on top of the membership fee.

Although it's only been a few months, I've attended around ten events. Most of these have been no-cost gatherings, like pickleball and various open-air and indoor concerts. I even went to the new member event in March and joined a bowling night. One of the highlights for me was the Paddy Wagon event in March. It was a paid bar-hopping experience where I met several new people at each stop, which was fantastic for socializing. While I haven't been on any trips yet, I'm enjoying the different experiences the club offers. Though sometimes there might be minor disorganization, the social aspect keeps it fun. If I were to rate Events & Adventures, I’d give it a solid 3.5 to 4 out of 5 because I still feel connected through their events.

Up until now, I've attended about three to four events. Dinners are consistently a highlight for me, providing a pleasant culinary experience. However, the hiking event stands out as my favorite; it was particularly enjoyable and memorable.

I would recommend them. It's a fantastic way to get out of the house and add a dash of adventure to your life, much like it has been for me.

While I haven't attended any events yet, my insight into the costs of being in such a setup gives the vibe of an upscale fee. The hefty $1,500 price, though significant, seemingly serves as a bit of quality check, inadvertently filtering individuals you might not want to engage with, which in some ways adds a comforting layer of exclusivity. I’d recommend E&A.

My first event was a bingo night at a country bar. It was different from what I usually do, but it was a fun and interesting experience. As I attended more events, I found that those with larger groups were more enjoyable and provided more chances to meet people. While there have been many great events, the ones held in Seattle have generally been more exciting than those in Tacoma, which I wish would grow in size over time.

In particular, I have enjoyed events at Mexican restaurants and a memorable visit to a great pizza spot with the group. I'm not quite sure of the specific upcoming events I'll be attending, but there's always something on the calendar.

If I were to recommend Events & Adventures to friends or family, I would describe it as a fantastic way to explore a new area for those who have recently moved and don't yet have a circle of friends. It's a chance to see different venues and activities that you wouldn't usually have access to. It’s been a great experience for me, helping me to open up more and expand my horizons.

The social aspect has been particularly impactful for me. At first, it's easy to be quiet and reserved, but the welcoming atmosphere encourages interaction. It has been great to open up, meet new people, and become more comfortable with social situations. Overall, Events & Adventures provides a platform for exploring new experiences and developing socially in a friendly environment.

So far, I've attended around six different events with the club, such as Popstroke, Steak and Trivia Night, volleyball, pickleball, social nights, and the new member orientation. Among these, the Trivia Night was a blast as we participated in a lively environment with both club members and other participants, forming teams to tackle trivia questions together.

Events & Adventures is an excellent social club, especially suitable for singles in a bustling city like Houston, Texas. It's perfect for people who have relocated for work and find it difficult to make time for social activities. I've met several others in similar situations who have also enjoyed their experiences.

Upcoming, I look forward to unique gatherings like 'Drunken Shakespeare,' which promises to be quite entertaining with inebriated actors performing. Additionally, there's an outdoor movie night atop a downtown building and a dinner cruise on the intercoastal waterway between Galveston Island and the mainland, both of which sound like great fun.

Overall, if you're looking for an exciting way to engage socially and meet new people, Events & Adventures is an entertaining choice worth exploring.

The first event was funny because I was supposed to be in a sword fighting class, but due to weather it was postponed for almost a month. Instead, the first one was a margarita Monday get together, and it was nice although they were a little busy with big events. I work in the food industry, so I understand how it goes, making me a little more lenient.

I felt a little nervous, and like it’s going to be a little out of place because there aren’t many people close to my age. I’m 24. I knew there weren’t many in their early to mid-20s, but it’s like, “Hey, who cares? I need to get out there, have fun, and do stuff.” It took a couple of events to stop feeling that strongly. I still feel a bit like that because everyone seems older and balder, but I don’t care about that much. I’m just there to have fun.

One of my favorite ones was sword fighting. I always like magical fantasy things, like dragons, so learning swordplay was fun and interesting. I have a collection of a bunch of knives that ended up turning into having a few swords, so learning about how to properly wield them was a lot of fun. I remember hearing the sword fighting was the first time that it had been done with Events & Adventures.

Another one was WhirlyBall. It was a lot more fun. My hand was cramping because we only had 11 people show up to the event, so I ended up playing every single round that was there. It was fun learning and figuring it out on my own, getting a little bit of advice from someone who’s been there.

Another one was like a little get-together at another bar. That one was a lot more fun because it wasn’t my first one. I felt more open and free. In fact, one of the guys there had lived in Japan, and my sister also went to Japan, so hearing some of the stuff they’ve done that was the same was fun and interesting.

After a round or two, it was like we all just started chatting, making joking comments, and I even ran into a couple of them throughout my different events.

I have done two or three events a month. I’ve been a part of Events & Adventures for about three months now. It allows me to get out there and do a lot more stuff, do more interesting things, and not just be stuck in the same routine constantly. It allows me to broaden my horizons and have fun. It’s always been positive and always been good.

He was in charge of our group. I asked him if he wouldn't mind singing with me the first time because it was just a big jump. He was willing to go up and sing with me, because it was my first time. And since then, I've had courage to sing by myself. That’s one of my highlights.

People are very friendly. But I can't say that I connected with a particular person. I don't really talk to anybody outside of those get-togethers, which is too bad. I know it's hard for people to reach out, or they feel that maybe we don't want to reach out. It's really hard these days to know when to reach out and how to reach out in a way that people don't feel like they're bothering anybody.

We have this group app and nobody messages me. If anything, I try to reach out to somebody. And then they wanted to become Facebook friends. I’d agree even though that's not my thing. And then they just ghosted me. I feel like the guys are afraid to reach out. I think they're waiting for me to signal somehow to reach out. How am I supposed to signal exactly? I'm still a mom. I have a 17-year-old. So there are many times when I just can't meet up. So I'm only participating in one or two events.

Sometimes, there are people I haven't met before. I drove out to Boston a few times and tried to see more of the random crowd. But these gatherings are not very big. You have maybe eight people. And then the trouble is that sometimes you're sitting around the table, but you actually can only speak to two or three people who are next to you. Because you can't possibly be shouting across the table to talk to people at the end, especially when you don't really know them that well. It's really a tricky thing to solve.

I even went dancing one time. There was a salsa dance in Cambridge. I danced with a lot of people. Whoever wants to ask me to dance, I'll dance with them. But it never really went beyond that.

I don't see great results. Getting along and meeting people is a very tricky thing. Everybody's doing a really good job. And from what I hear, other people don't really see that many results. All you get is what you put into it. If you show up with a smile, you can probably leave with a smile. I don't know if I would really recommend it to a lot of people. Because it is expensive, and it really depends on where people are.

What they should do is just invite the people themselves to organize an event. If somebody really wanted to ask me out they would probably come to the event that I organized.

If you open it up to people to organize an event, then you would make sure that it fits into their schedule. They do Karaoke regularly on a Thursday. And that way, people can kind of build their lives around it, if this is what they really like to do.

There was an instance when we suggested horseback riding, but the time was not convenient for me. I would have loved to go horseback, but I couldn't go that day. I would go horseback riding regularly, even once a month. But that might not work for the other people's schedules. I don't know what would work, because it is such a complicated puzzle to solve.

I haven’t been able to attend much lately because we're getting into construction season, so it’ll be a while before I get back up there. There’s too much going on, and the 80- to 100-mile drive to the city makes it even harder.

I haven't been going to as many local events 'cause I've been traveling so much with the international stuff. I finally got back from Scotland just a couple of weeks ago and I've been busy doing other things. I did like the backyard barbecue, and I've been to a couple brewery type things and a whiskey tasting. That was a lot of fun. I’ve also started seeing someone, so that's taking up my free time. Overall, it's been a positive experience and I got a lot out of it.

Well, everyone gets a little nervous, but absolutely because there's hosts that are really great at including everybody. I forgot to tell you that I also met my boyfriend through it. I met a ton of friends, and I'm actually at another person's wedding, who met her fiancé through it as well.

The trips are awesome. You end up doing something that you wouldn't expect to do, that's off the beaten path. Because they have a person who's with E&A, and then they have a local guide. You just get so much out of it.

The local things are great because I like all the people. We're so close. I went to Morocco and Scotland, and I couldn't redo that because we sat with nomads in the Sahara Desert. And in Scotland, I got to just really see all of it and learn history and Highland games. It's just so cool.

I think the pricing is fair. There should be an initial cost to get in because you're hanging out and traveling to foreign countries with them, and there's a little background check. So, I always feel safe. People should pay to get into it just because they need some skin in the game.

They used to do formal dance events about three times a year. And then their New Year's Eve parties were always awesome. Halloween parties are really good, too. They seem to have something almost every night that you can go to if you sign up. And then most of them are meeting and you have a dinner or drink somewhere or just social stuff. They have bowling and bocce ball, and then they do a lot of different things, things that I wasn't even aware that you could do, like we did the glass blowing one time. There’s also wine and paint, where you go and make these paintings while you sip wine. A lot of fun things.

I'm really happy with them. It's been one of the best things since my divorce. It made everything a lot better. I met a lot of good people. There was only one time that I wound up dating one girl from there, but it was more about making friends and getting out there and seeing what you can do when you're single. I was married for almost 32 years and I didn't even know how to go out at that time. So, they helped out a lot. I’m happy with them and I would definitely recommend them.

At Events & Adventures, everything's been very positive and I've enjoyed the events I've gone to. My favorites are the more physical ones, like bowling or the escape room, that force some amount of teamwork together.

Enrolling was great. I have no complaints. The person I talked to was very informative and I enjoyed the conversation we had.

But I think it's not the best way to get to know a guy and have a relationship. Because there are not too many men. And then, sometimes I think the leader doesn't know that much about the place or about the event.

For example, I was snorkeling two months ago. And the guy didn't know the place very well, so he didn't know how to rent the things we needed for swimming. And it wasn't the best place to go snorkeling.

Actually, we changed the place to a different place because that was very deep if you wanted to watch something. And also, they don't have the safeguards or people who can swim and maybe rescue you in case something happens.
