Events & Adventures

Overall I've been very happy with my E&A experience. It's been a great way to meet new people and discover new places. I've lived in this city for 45+ years and have visited places I've never heard of. The membership fee may be difficult for some people to do, but it and the interview process really do guarantee the quality of the people you will meet. I just wish some of the funds for the event fees were used on name tags at each event to help everyone learn so many new names. When I initially signed up, I had hoped to attend a trip with the group, but unfortunately the trips during my membership have been too long and/or too expensive. I wish there had been more long weekend trips within driving distance. In the beginning I was concerned how much younger the group was than me, but eventually I found members more my age.

It's a grand experience, meeting new like-minded people. You simply pay for the activities you're interested in and just show up. This removes the hard of hanging out as adults with different schedules. I haven't really met anyone that I've connected to, they're either much older than me, much younger or we're just connecting on a romantic level. The only reason I personally didn't give it 5 stars is the communication with our market manager. It's hit or miss and several people have mentioned similar problem surrounding the communication of them.
Otherwise I'm enjoying the club!

Where I originally signed up. What's the aspect of singles attending events and possibly meeting each other. Originally, that was something I saw. Originally, there was a large variety of events spread throughout the DMV, now not so much. Most of the events I catered towards a virginia crowd and very few for individuals that live in d c or maryland. A lot of the hosts when describing the events are discouraging seeking the possibility of relationships due to their own experiences. It has more so turned into a glorified Friends/ make a friend meet up.

I've been very happy with Events & Adventures! In each of the 14 metro areas where they have a chapter, there's an event scheduled almost every day of every month, catering to a wide variety of interests. I attend about five to seven events each month in my local area, and might attend more if I had the time. I've also attended several events in other metro areas (when I was traveling to those areas for whatever reason). I've made numerous friends and acquaintances through the club.

I really enjoy meeting new folks of different ages. I believe it was March 18th that a group went to TopGolf. That was really fun. I wish we could've switched teams so that we could mingle with the whole group.

To find out i paid over 2 times the amount of others didn't help. Quite a few couples so single club it isn't. Very clicky... but at least people to play pickle ball with.

Joining Events and Adventures was one of the best decisions I have ever made! It has gotten me out of my house and trying new things. I never would have tried so many things that I have done with E&A. It is a great way to make new friends with local people. I can not talk it up enough.

I enjoy being a member of E&A. It allows a busy person to meet new people and have fun doing activities with fun people by going to activities that fit my schedule in a relaxed environment. There is always something going on. It is great to go out and do things with other people. The hosts do a great job of making sure the activities go smoothly.

Joining Events and Adventures is one of the best decisions that I have ever made. Through the club, I have had the opportunity to go whitewater rafting, skiing in Lake Tahoe, combat archery, and too many other outings to count. I have met a large number of great individuals, and have had adventures of a lifetime.

I was a little scared and shy at first. Once I got the courage and attended a few events, I made a few new friends. As you attend more events you meet more people. Before you know it, every event you attend you will know someone.

I joined to get out, participate in different events and just have fun. I've already met so many amazing people and had some great experiences

This is clearly a community of friends and not just singles looking for partners. There is professional care in preparing each event. I've been with the club for about 2 months and nothing has WOWed me, and I'm still glad to be part of it.
I'm discovering activities in the city that I wouldn't have found on my own in meeting new people.

Events and Adventures handles all the details. All you have to do is logon, look at the calendar of events, decide which ones you want to attend, sign up and show up! There's dining (casual and fine,) Athletic (various skill levels,) Travel (domestic & international) and so much more. Mingle with other singles - make friends - get out of the house and DO SOMETHING! I've got memories I never would have had if I hadn't joined E&A.

I became an E&A member in 2021, because I was looking to do things in Denver with like-minded people and go on international trips. The monthly events continue to be fun and varied, there is something for everyone, I like attending trivia, brunches, dinners, hikes and disc golf events. The big events like New Year's Eve, Valentine's Day, St. Patty's Day and Halloween are enjoyable and entertaining. The camping trips on Memorial Day weekend and Labor Day weekend are fun too, I do not like sleeping in a tent, so I reserve a cabin with a bathroom and electricity. I have gone on 3 international trips. The internation trips are well planned, I feel safe on the trips. I know with confidence there is transportation arranged, and the hotels are exceptional.

I joined Events and Adventures many years ago as a lifetime member, not because I planned to be single for the rest of my life, but because it was a good deal, and it's been worth every penny. I was newly divorced and had no single friends, so I always felt like a fifth wheel. It was one of the best decisions I've ever made! Not only have I enjoyed all the fun, interesting, and exciting events and trips, some that I didn't even know existed, I've met my best friends in the club. I've been fortunate to participate in many of their international trips and meet people from other clubs around the US and Canada, so I now have friends everywhere! All I have to do is look at our monthly calendar of events (sometimes even 2 a day to choose from) and trip offerings, choose what I want to do that fits into my schedule and budget, and show up. They do all the work! Another amazing thing is that there's new people at every event, so the more I go to, the more friends I make, and even though I didn't join specifically to date, I've had some great dates and relationship experiences that I never would have otherwise. What some people don't understand is that it is what you make it. You may not get along with every person you meet, but you keep showing up, putting yourself out there, and find the people and experiences you enjoy and make the best of it.

I love the trips and planning. It is very nice having everything set up so we just have to pay and have fun

Always have fun at these events meeting new people. Enjoy the variety of things we can do each month

Love my group! I've made so many great FRIENDS FOR LIFE! The events have been so fun. Learning all about my area.

Overall, the company and the activities are spot on. They have a wide variety of activities for all sorts of personalities, and various times to accommodate the different schedules. This is something I would recommend for anyone new to the city or just wanting to get out. In fact, especially if you're new to a city and single, this is a must have to get to know your area and what's out there to do for fun. Even if you're financially struggling, I would put this high on the list of priorities, because overall, you still need to take care of your emotional health and be around people, and if you do the free and cheaper activities, it can be budget-friendly.
The one thing I think could be improved on is the experience for women. The men can be a bit predatory. And, while we can blame women and say "she should know not to trust men" and other similar sentiments, if we actually want women to have a pleasant experience, keep coming back, and recommend it to others, it needs to be a safe place, physically and emotionally. I don't know how Events and Adventures could address this, but perhaps there is a way. There shouldn't be any hesitation for men to ask women out. I wouldn't want men to ever feel like they couldn't be there to find a real relationship and connect with women. But, maybe some encouragement that the women aren't there to test drive or be conquered and thrown away. That, whatever someone's intentions, they should be communicated honestly upfront.
Again, no one is obligated to make it a good experience for women and we can always keep the status quo and blame women for ever trusting men. But, it depends if your objective is to keep women as active customers, then perhaps something could be done.
Other than that, it's been a great experience, and the people have been warm and welcoming.
