Here are some recent comments from people that have attended our events.

I have always been picky when it comes to men and that was my reason for being endlessly single. My friends were sick of me and decided that it was time for me to meet the right guy. They bought me a speed dating ticket for my birthday. I was sceptical about it and not sure if I would go.
Finally my friends forced me and there I was; speed dating. I enjoyed it more than I could imagine and the following day it turned out that I, the picky one, had 2 matches!
My first date didn’t work out but the second one was fabulous. Richard and I laughed and talked for the whole evening and we decided to meet again. Now we have been together for more than a year! I would recommend Fast Impressions to everybody! Just try it.

I had just broken up with my girlfriend and I was having a drink with my friend at a bar to catch up. I was really irritated when we were told to sit somewhere else, because there was a speed dating event being held in the section where we were sitting.
After a while the host came to us and asked if we wanted to join in. My friend thought it would be fun and because I didn’t want to sit all by myself we joined the group. I met a great girl and I forgot about my ex girlfriend immediately; we couldn’t stop laughing. Unfortunately after 8 minutes the gong was chimed and we had to move places. After the event we decided to go somewhere for a drink and soon after, we started dating each other. Now I have proposed and we are going to marry in August!
I never thought it would be possible to like somebody else that fast, but it is! Thanks Fast Impressions.

Some time passed by after my heavy divorce and I decided that I was ready for new love. Because I am not one of the youngest ones anymore, I didn’t know how to meet new people and then I found out about Fast Impressions. I tried a few speed dating events and I liked it, but I didn’t really find what I was looking for. Then I expanded my boundaries and I went to a party for people aged 30+. And that is where I met Tom via a match card game. We started mingling and we really enjoyed the party. The next day we met again and we have been together ever since!

I’m contacting you as my partner and I are one of your great success stories. I attended a number of your events and always found them extremely well organised, relaxed, comfortable and very enjoyable experiences. You do it with style – which I really like! Then I met my partner at one of your speed dating events in Perth just over a year ago – and we got engaged 3 weeks later!
Cherry, Perth

Dear Fast Impressions,

When I was reading through your website testimonials 2 years ago gathering up the courage to go to my first ever speed dating event, I never thought I'd be writing one myself one day! Well I met the most wonderful man over cocktails at Box Deli and haven't looked back since!

He asked me to marry him recently and of course I said yes! I couldn't be happier and can't imagine life without him, so thanks to you for the opportunity.
Wendy, Perth

"After attending one of your Singles Parties on 1st July 2006 in Perth, I met a wonderful, gorgeous woman. We have now been together for 8 months and recently moved in together. I would like to say thanks to Fast Impressions for setting up the night and for providing people with the opportunity to meet in a casual environment. Thanks."
David, Perth

"I had the most awesome time! I was a wee bit apprehensive as I have never done this before but already my girlfriends have been on the phone to find out how I went and 1 is even keen to come with me next time. Cheers for an awesome service."
Tanya, Brisbane

"I would like to extend my thanks to Fast Impressions for a very enjoyable night! You really do offer dating with style...and I was impressed with the quality of people. Both hostesses were natural and warm and very personable. Venue was excellent, in fact many of the dates commented about the great atmosephere. Well done oh by the wazy, I matched with my favourite date so that makes things even
better!"
Katya, Melbourne

"I attended the Midwinter Soiree 35+ lock and key party in Melbourne last week and just want to thank you for the lovely night it turned out to be, No, I did'nt get lucky, but what the hell, I had a ball...heaps of lovely ladies !! Keep these events coming"
Ray, Melbourne

"Hi to all at Fast Impressions. Just a quick note to congratulate May on doing a fastastic job last night at Bar Europa. Her enthusiasm and wonderful smiling attitude made a very enjoyable night which I am sure all others as well as myself would have appreciated."
Ellis, Sydney

"My first effort at Speed Dating was around a month ago, and one of the males I met is now a permanent boyfriend! It's only been one month but both of us are extremely happy and not looking for a replacement any time soon! Thanks for the opportunity to try this different way of meeting men, I never thought it would work out so well!"
Naomi, Perth

"I attended the Fiesta Carnivale event at Suede Bar in Melbourne. This was my first event and I was really surprised at how good it was. I liked it because it was casual, no games or structure. From a female point of view, there were lots men to meet."
Emma, Melbourne

"Hi folks, I just wanted to say thankyou for such a pleasant evening. I was delighted to meet such genuine, articulate men. Even if a match doesn’t happen this time around, I look forward to another event – perhaps in an older age range.

You were professional, yet fun and rather than being a slightly depressing evening, I actually found it to be a bit of an ego boost. Thanks for restoring my faith in the men of Brisbane (I had though they were all gay or married)."
Christine, Brisbane

"Very Impressed! I was very nervous however I found it to be sooo much fun. I will be back, unless I find Mrs Right!"
Craig, Central Coast

"Excellent service. I am evangelical about the concept and congratulate you on an excellent and well managed business."
Rebecca, Sydney

"I just wanted to let you know that after attending 3 events I have met my match and she is going to marry me!

I know you say its all about having fun and meeting new people and not necessarily about meeting the love of your life, but I did!!!

Thanks so much for facilitating such fantastic events."
Anthony, Sydney

"I thought I'd write as Andrew and I wanted to pass on a huge thanks to Fast Impressions for our meeting. I am happy to say that we are now married. Two years to the day that we met at a speed dating event at the Bond Bar in Melbourne, I married the man of my dreams and couldnt be happier - thanks to Fast Impressions! He was living around the corner my whole life and we even had friends in common but had never met - we were destined to meet and fall in love and we did that very night. Thanks again."
Kylie, Melbourne

"Dear Justin

I would like to commend you and your team on a great event at Alumbra yesterday, 26/7/05.

The food and venue were great and the people who partook were a nice group. I think having a speed dating event with something a little different, ie the salsa lesson, helped to make everyone a bit more at ease and feel more relaxed.

I have attended speed dating events before with different organisations and in comparison found them to be very crowded with people sitting side by side hence becoming very noisy and hard to communicate with your "date". Having a smaller group with the opportunity to spread out at the venue proved to be much more successful.

I would also especially like to commend the host for the evening, Nicolas, who proved to be enthusiastic and welcoming ensuring that the night ran smoothly and was fun for all. Please extend my congratulations to him.

Thank you once again for a great evening and I will certainly recommend your organisation to any people interested in partaking in a speed dating event.

Yours sincerely"
Cathy, Melbourne

"I very much enjoyed last night's event at the "Wine Society" in Melbourne. Alison, our host was just delightful and Glenn the 'wine dude' was great value. I feel like an 'expert wine evaluator' now, as well as mastering the all important 'slurping noises' . Just the ticket for a hot date!"
Dale, Melbourne

I came along to a speed dating event in November last year and had an absolute ball - I've recommended it to all my single friends, male and female.

Unfortunately however, I can't come back and do another one as I met a lovely guy that night and things have really taken off for us - in fact he is moving in with me this weekend!! But if it doesn't work out, believe me I'll be coming back to see you...
Terry, Sydney

I went along to a Salsa Speed dating event in January, where I met lots of lovely guys. I was even lucky enough to only have to go to one event to meet the most wonderful guy, whom I have been seeing since. Well done to Fast Impressions for organizing such a fun night…and successful for the two of us.
Kirralee, Sydney

Thankyou for the great night. I had a fantastic time, the food was excellent. You should have great success with the Degustation evenings, everyone was commenting on how much fun it was.
Adam, Sydney

I just wanted to say thanks for a slick and well run event last night. It was lots of fun and Angus did a fabulous job of welcoming us and keeping us well-champagned throughout the evening. I had a good time and will certainly recommend your events to friends considering giving speed dating a whirl.
Rhylla, Sydney

I attended one of your speed dating events at The Botanical in
Melbourne a little while ago; and whilst I didn't meet my "match", I was awarded elite status! I thoroughly enjoyed the evening. It was wonderful to meet professional people in a relaxed environment. The venue was perfect and had a great vibe.
Maral, Melbourne

Just wanted to say thanks as I went to the valentines day drinks at cruise last night and met a really fantastic girl. We had a 3 hour talk and will be going out later this week. So thanks again for holding these events.
Chris, Sydney

I just wanted to let you know that although I actually met my partner in 'real life', speed dating at Fast Impressions certainly gave me the self-confidence, know-how and confidence in my own judgement to take the spark I felt when I met him and turn it into a relationship. I honestly don't know whether it would have happened without
my going speed dating beforehand so I'm very much in your debt. I'll continue to recommend your services to everyone I know who is single! I tell everyone that the experience, self-confidence and self-knowledge you gain is enough to make it worthwhile, even if you don't meet your next partner at an actual speed-dating event. It is almost therapeutic! So thanks very much :) Cheers.
Koa, Brisbane

I wanted to congratulate Anna on a great evening. I have worked tourism, sales and customer service for nearly 20 years. What was great about the evening was Anna was in control at all times, it started on time and finished at a reasonable hour, and had a relaxed and friendly feel about it. Well done!
Dionne, Sydney

I attended one of your speed dating events last November, and "what do you know", I've been dating one of my matches for almost a year now! If it wasnt for Fast Impressions who knows where I would be right now... and who with!!?! So a big thank you must go to you and the Fast Impressions Team!
Kristy, Sydney

Mate, just wanted to give you some feedback regarding your business... Problem is, it worked too damn well! I attended one of your functions at FFour in Melbourne, about 3 months ago, chatted with a bunch of completely fantastic people and met the most terrific girl I could hope for. We've been together since we caught up after matching at the event. Unfortunately I can't reciprocate the favour by granting you repeat business, since I'm just over the moon at the person I've met. Thanks so much, guys/girls. The opportunity to meet so many dead set "genuine" nice people was just simply beyond comprehension. Keep it up team, tons of people are going to end up in your debt.
Tim, Melbourne

Thanks Justin!

And thanks to Angelene for being a great hostess - she really set the atmosphere so well. A lovely person!

I have thoroughly enjoyed both of the FI evenings I have attended and am very impressed with FI - the website, the people and most of all the style and frequency of communication - all awesome and make it all feel so personal. Somehow you manage to remove the sterility of internet comms! Well done.

My focus with FI is to make new friends and anything else is a bonus - and a couple of the guys I have met at the FI events thought that was a good idea and that changed their approach to the evening as well. I am just so impressed with what appears to be a very high quality of FI members - all such nice people and so easy to talk to. It would be nice to be able to make female friends as well - but the evening doesn't quite lend itself to that I guess!

Anyway - thanks for the Elite status - wow! Trouble is finding the time to meet up with all these matches!!
Margie, Sydney

I saw you on Sixty Minutes tonight and it reminded me to send an email to you. In May 2003 I went to one of your Speed Dating events in Sydney and met Chris. I then emailed you earlier this year to let you know that we were living together and you mentioned to email again if wedding bells were in the air ...

Well I can say YES they are! We went on a holiday to Bali last month and Chris popped the question. We are planning to get married in Spring 2005.

So here is another wedding to add to your statistics!!

Registering for one of your events turned out to be life changing ... all for the better. As you can imagine, we are two, very, very, very satisfied customers!!!

Glad to see the business is still going strong and by the sounds of the story tonight it will only continue to grow.
Rachel, Sydney

Thanks for all your invitations! Besides the event in Surry Hills I have only been to one other, at Fox Studios. It was a great night and a very successful one in that I met a lovely girl and we are still going strong.

I wish to thank you for facilitating our meeting. Unfortunately for you this means no more business!
Rod, Sydney

"Just a note of thanks for last Wednesday’s “Tall Men and Women Event”.

I had a great time, met some lovely people and didn’t feel out of place in my high heels!

Thanks for your hospitality and hosting skills – I will definitely be telling my friends about Fast Impressions and look forward to attending future events."
Kathryn, Sydney

"I attended your party in Newcastle last night and wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed it.

Everything was very well done, and Angelene was superb. Friendly,
professional and fun - she was very impressive. Food, service,
everything was top notch.

Thanks again, I will recommend you to my single friends.

Well done and thank you!
Megan, Newcastle

"I thought it was a very good event in comparison to (a different speed dating company) that I have previously been to.
I liked the location, and the atmosphere was lovely. I think that it was very well organised and will definately be recommending fast impressions to my single friends."
Karen, Perth

"Guess what? I am now very serious with James who I met at one of your events. We have been living together since Christmas. We will be celebrating our year anniversary in May and so far things are going spectacularly! We are a walking advertisement for the speed dating concept.

Signed a very satisfied customer!

PS If there are wedding bells, I will let you know!!!"
Louise, Sydney

"Thank you IMMENSELY for giving me the opportunity to attend one of your events.

Back in November I attended one of your Melbourne events. Although nothing came of any of my matches, I was there by myself and happened to meet another girl who was also there on her own.

To cut a long story short, we became good friends and she suggested that I meet her brother... who yesterday became my fiance! We are happily engaged and excited to spend the rest of our lives together.

So indirectly, I extend all thanks to Fast Impressions for changing my life forever!
Lainie, Melbourne

"I went to one of your speed dates in November and found my perfect match!!!! We have been going out ever since and it is going strong. Thanks once again!
Carol, Adelaide

"I had my first Fast Impressions experience on Thursday night and WHAT AN INTERESTING EXPERIENCE !!!! I really enjoyed it - would love to do another one soon !"
Jonathon, Auckland

"I had a bloody fantastic night.... I can't believe that 6 out of 10 ladies have matched with me. Great venue, great food, great company, great service and lovely ladies... I'll certainly be telling my mates of your great service."
Tim, Sydney

"Just wanted to say thanks for a fantastic night back in April. I'm sorry to say that I won't be a repeat customer, your service worked so well that I managed to meet the most fantastic woman in my first visit! Kylie and I are so well matched that it seems totally unbelievable, having been through a couple of long term and fulfilling relationships I can safely say that none have started off this well, the service you provide was extremely professional and very welcoming. So thanks again and keep weaving the magic!"
Andrew, Melbourne

"I want to thank you for a superb night, the setting was wonderful and the people were great. I matched with two girls who I really look forward to meeting again. I'll definitely be recommending your service to all my single friends!"
Tom, Sydney

Just wanted to say that Friday night was a big hit, I had an absolute ball and am pleased to say that Liam and myself caught up for a drink after the event and went on a date yesterday, so all in all, a very successful evening.
Nikki, Brisbane

"Have to tell you that I have been laughing so much since Wednesday night - totally had a good time. Thank you! You must have had a rush from all the positive energy in the room".
Kylie, Sydney

"Great idea! I met more fun, interesting, single women last night than in the whole 6 months that I've been living in Brisbane. I was a little worried beforehand so I was pleasantly surprised by how enjoyable the experience was and how 'normal' the people were. If things don't work out with one of my 3 matches I'll definitely be back for some more speed dating!"
Paul, Brisbane

"I must say the night was better than I expected. It really was great value, the food was exceptional, the movie vouchers were a nice touch and the show bag was also great. I have since been keeping in touch with my match and will also be heading off on a girls night out with two friends I made on the night, Christina and Renette! It's a great way to meet new friends, not just romantic partners".
Tanya, Sydney

"Just writing to thank you for the incredible time I had last night. I definitely believe that it was worth every cent that I spent, and you may use me as a testimony reference for future advertising if required."
John, Sydney
