We have been organizing

Long Island Speed Dating and Speed Dating NYC

events since 2003, resulting in over 65 marriages and 10 children. We love what we do and want you to experience our exciting and dynamic events. These include speed dating, trivia nights, cultural events and much more.

Our NYC Speed Dating events take place in Manhattan. Long Island Single Events are held in Nassau and Suffolk Counties. Our CT Speed Dating events take place in Stamford, Connecticut. Speed Dating New York Events are sometimes held by affiliates. We also offer trivia and cultural activities. Our company was originally formed in 2003, before the speed dating craze took place. Other companies events were always held midweek since the philosophy was to do the speed dating on a Monday or Tuesday and then set yourself up to have dates on the Weekend. We decided to shake things up and reverse things and were the first to hold the speed dating events on the Weekend. Years later other companies followed suit and it is quite common to see events both midweek and on the weekend. After attending some other speed dating events and feeling mislead, we decided to take a hard line of the ages on the event. We really do stick to what it is that we advertise and require proof of age (allowing some flexibility with a two year grace). It is just not fair to advertise one thing and then deliver another. Please do respect the age brackets listed or come to a mingle type event that is open to all ages.

Originally we started out exclusively on Long Island for singles and were known as Long Island Speed Dating LLC. When calls from people in Manhattan continued to grow as well as from Connecticut, we changed our name to WeekendDating.com.

As of 2020, we know of at least 78 married couples, countless other relationships and over 15 children that have come into this world because of the events (If you are a success story or know someone else who is, would you please drop us a line at info@weekenddating.com? We also organize reunion events wehre we bring couples back on a specific date so they can meet others who met the same way.

At this point, we have all these married couples who were still looking for fun things to do, but could not come to speed dating, so in about 2012 we started another division called SocialEvents123.com. This new division would be open for both NYC Singles, Long Island Singles as well as couples. The focus for SocialEvents123.com is on the activity, so we host events such as comedy club nights, Walking tours, Art Tours and specialized trivia such as Friendly Feud, Seinfeld Trivia, The Office Trivia, Friends Trivia, Harry Potter, Game of Thrones, How I met your Mother and many more. We incorporate a rotating format that we perfected at the speed dating events to mix up teams after each trivia round so that people get to make new friends. Upon this sucess we later started doing Speed Friending, which was specifically for people to get out and socialize and make new friends, but use elements of the speed format to ensure you get to meet a lot of people in a very short period of time.

We host our events throughout Nassau County, Suffolk County, Stamford Connecticut and New York City. Specific venues include Franks Steaks in Jericho, Vintage 25 Fox Hollow in Woodbury, Dave & Busters in Massapequa, The Vine Wine Bar in Merrick, Northern Lights in Stamford Ct, Bryant Park Lounge (Marriott) in NYC and several more.
