Written by the company
Founded in 2007, MyCheekyDate hosts sophisticated, host-led speed dating events in 50+ cities worldwide. Recognized as an Eventbrite Top Organizer, our events use a proprietary, algorithmic, smartphone-based Smart-Card matching system. Every guest is supported by The Cheeky Guarantee for cancellations, reschedules, and flexible guest schedule changes. MyCheekyDate has hosted more than 26,000 events across 50+ cities over the past decade and has been featured in outlets including The New York Times and The New Yorker. Our Smart-Card allows guests to privately select who they would like to see again, receive mutual-interest results, and participate in a broader matching ecosystem. Using machine-learning supported interest signals, the Smart-Card helps identify real-world attraction patterns from live events that may inform future speed dating events, invite-only experiences, members-only gatherings, and Curated Introductions. The Cheeky Guarantee keeps guest options clear: if MyCheekyDate cancels or reschedules an event, guests may request a refund. If a guest’s own plans change, their ticket remains valid as flexible credit for any future MyCheekyDate event, at any time, with any amount of notice.

A Refreshing change from the Apps!
The whole things was well organized and well run. Communication was timely for changes.
And everyone got to meet eachother and spent a decent amount of time getting to know.
It was relaxed and fun and a great way to meet new people without it being overwhelming.

Thank you for such a thoughtful review! We’re really glad you enjoyed the event and found it to be a refreshing change from the apps. Our goal is always to create a relaxed, well-organized evening where everyone has the chance to actually meet and connect in person without it feeling overwhelming.
It’s wonderful to hear you had fun and met new people — that’s exactly what these nights are all about. We hope to see you again at another event soon! 😊

Toronto dating mix
Hi There fellow daters,
I have had my first Cheeky Date experience in Toronto. I liked the location it offered a cosy mix of tables that allowed a round of about 10 conversations. The minutes went fast and each conversation was different. On arrival the profiles of each dater is viewable. In true speed-dating fashion, you then get to shortlist as you would like. I would say go for it - you never know you just might meet someone you wish to get to know better!

Hi Island Cutie,
Thank you for joining us at one of our Toronto speed dating events and for sharing such thoughtful feedback! 😊
We’re glad you enjoyed the cozy venue and the flow of conversations. Speed dating moves quickly, but those short chats often turn into memorable connections, and it’s wonderful to hear each conversation felt unique.
We’re also happy the profile preview and shortlisting system made the experience easy to follow — it’s designed to keep things simple so guests can focus on the conversations themselves.
Thank you again for giving Cheeky Date a try in Toronto. You never know when that next conversation might lead to something special, and we’d love to welcome you back to another event soon! ✨
Cheers,
The MyCheekyDate Team 💕
The singles are of a different quality
Out of three other dating event organizers in Toronto I've tried, this one's the best. The singles here are of a different quality - very respectful, open, and communicative. Just so professional. The hosts are very friendly and personable, and the event itself is run so smooth and orderly. Cheeky is the one I keep coming back to to hopefully find a match!

Hi Lumena,
Thanks so much for the lovely review! We’re delighted you enjoyed the evening and that our hosts helped keep things running smoothly. Creating a warm, respectful space where conversations can flow easily is exactly what we aim for.
We’re also big believers that there are lots of great ways for singles to meet — whether it’s other events around Toronto, introductions from friends, or even the apps. Any service that helps people connect is a good thing in our book.
Still, we’re thrilled Cheeky keeps making the shortlist for your nights out. 😉

Hi Kaitlyn,
We’re sorry to read this. We host events year-round across 60 cities, typically with multiple events each month in every location. At times, events may be postponed due to weather, venue matters, or seasonal slowdowns — which we understand can be frustrating.
When that happens, tickets remain valid for future dates. Eventbrite is the merchant of record and handles all payment processing, and we rely on them to service their customers directly.
If there is ever a hiccup in that process, guests are always welcome to reach back out to us — we’re more than happy to step in and help ensure everything is handled properly.
As we’re not able to identify this particular situation from the review alone, we invite the reviewer to contact us directly so we can look into it and assist further.
We remain committed to hosting consistent, in-person events and supporting our guests along the way.
Cheers,
The MyCheekyDate Team 💕

several events, no results, good learning experience
I attended several events and made a few matches, but never had a match respond back when I tried to make contact. I still found it to be a great learning experience, as this was my first time entering the dating pool in almost a decade (divorce after 8 years). It was an environment where everyone was there for more or less the same reason, and I never felt overwhelmed or pressured. I did end up finding someone through another avenue, and I am now engaged. I will always be thankful for the experience " My Cheeky Date" gave me to get myself back out there.

Hi Andrew,
Thank you so much for sharing this — and huge congratulations on your engagement! 💛
We love hearing that the experience helped you step back into dating after such a long chapter away. That first season back can feel like a big leap, and we’re really glad you found the environment comfortable, welcoming, and pressure-free.
Even when things don’t immediately turn into a lasting connection at an event, there’s something powerful about being in a room full of people who are all showing up with intention. Sometimes it’s about shaking off the rust, rebuilding confidence, and remembering how to have fun with it again.
We’re honored we could be part of that chapter for you — and we’re cheering you on in this exciting new one. Wishing you both all the happiness ahead! ✨
Cheers,

Repeat Last Minute Cancelations -
Cancels events within <24 hours with no transparency for the reason other than "last minute rescheduling requests" by attendees. After discussing with two venues where these events were supposedly to take place and being told they have no awareness of anyone booking the space for events past or present and one definitely saying that it would be impossible to book the location without several days notice, there is a high degree of evidence to conclude they are hiding behind a combination of Eventbrite and their internal policy for no refunds to scam customers. When asked whether they had ever successfully held an equivalent event within the local area or to divulge how many people were ever signed up for their "sold out" events, they refused to provide any level of detail that cpuld be substantiated that might otherwise assure that they are a legitimate business. Their primary business model appears to be indefinite delay of event scheduling for low-effort event fee farming hoping customers do not pursue widespread compaints about their deceptive business practices. While at one time they may have been a legitimate business with events within the California area, it is clear now they are not and I do not ever recommend signing up for their events or events of any of their subsidiaries.

Hi Nick,
Thank you for your review.
We understand our guest services team reached out when you expressed concerns about your ticket in Minneapolis, and they also assisted you with Eventbrite to ensure your refund was processed.
Regarding venues: as explained, many of our spaces are managed through hospitality groups rather than individual in-house staff. We are always happy to clarify venue arrangements or share venue contact information with any guest who requests it, as we did with you.
In your case in Minneapolis, we have seen a surge in reschedule requests since you signed up in January. Weather conditions this season have been especially challenging, and recent local tragedies have understandably impacted attendance. In most cases we are able to absorb shifts in attendance and events proceed as scheduled. When attendance changes materially, however, we may adjust rather than host an unbalanced experience.
We want to be clear that there are no deceptive tactics at play. In live dating events, guests sometimes reschedule for personal reasons — illness, work conflicts, travel delays, weather, or simply not feeling up to attending. Dating is personal, and last-minute changes do happen.
For 19 years, we have operated with this same flexible rescheduling policy. We understand that flexibility may not suit everyone. However, it has allowed us to host nearly 26,000 events across 60+ cities and build one of the most established and consistently reviewed track records in the industry. When guests are disappointed or inconvenienced, we do our best to ensure they feel supported and have a positive experience — whether at that event or a future one. That philosophy is part of our Cheeky Promise: an understanding, transparent approach to live events.
Our full Eventbrite organizer history is publicly accessible through any of our listings and via our website, and we are always happy to share those details directly.
Cheers,
The MyCheekyDate Team 💕
SCAM!!! Select only one star reviews
Before you read my review, scroll to the part of this page where you can select only one star reviews, then read them:
First off, if you are smart enough to check here, you already know this is a scam. Second, check all the positive reviews, they are all new accounts with only one review, and you can tell the reviews are fake if you look at a few and compare them. So basically here’s the scam, they cancel events a few hours before it is supposed to start and direct you to eventbrite for a refund. They are essentially hoping you will be too lazy to go through the process.

Hi AK,
We’re sorry you feel this way.
For 19 years, we’ve operated with the same policy: guests may reschedule at any time, and tickets never expire. That flexibility is part of our Cheeky Promise. We understand that life happens — people get sick, work runs late, or plans change — and we choose to lead with understanding rather than penalties.
If an event needs to be adjusted, we provide as much notice as we receive. Our goal is always to host balanced, enjoyable events — not simply to “run” them.
We’ve partnered with Eventbrite for over 10 years as our ticketing provider. They securely process payments and handle questions, concerns or requests directly. If a guest ever has difficulty reaching them, we’re always willing to assist to make sure they’re properly supported.
We remain committed to hosting real, in-person events with professionalism and care.
Cheers,
The MyCheekyDate Team 💕

10/10 would recommend
This was my second time attending an event through mycheekydate. The original event that I signed up for was canceled, so this one was rescheduled and at a new location. Everyone I talked to at the organization, was friendly and accommodating to the rescheduling process. The event overall was enjoyable! Would recommend to a friend/ seeking it out for yourself!

⚠️ DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON CHEEKY…
⚠️ DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON CHEEKY DATE / EVENTBRITE ⚠️
I purchased a ticket for a Cheeky Date event scheduled for January 3rd. I got dressed, drove to the event—only to arrive and find nobody there. I checked my email after the fact, and only then did I see a cancellation notice. No phone call. No text. Who the hell checks email on a Saturday night when they’re headed to a dating event?
I immediately requested a refund. Instead of honoring that, they said “We’ll just apply your ticket to the Jan 17th event.” I agreed, even though I wanted my money back.
Then what happened? The Jan 17th event got pushed to February 14th.
I called. I asked again for my refund. The organizer told me to go through Eventbrite. Eventbrite then pointed to a “No Refunds” policy and told me to kick rocks.
So now I’m out money, time, and patience—because I trusted a system that kept canceling events and refusing refunds.
Let me be clear:
🚫 Cheeky Date = shady
🚫 Eventbrite = enabling the scam
💸 They are profiting off canceled events and hiding behind vague policies.
I’ve warned them. Next step: dispute the charge with your bank and leave public reviews. You will win.
Stop letting these companies eat off our time and energy. We’re not dumb. We’re done.
I want my money BACK.

Hi Anonymous,
Thank you for sharing your experience. We understand how frustrating it would feel to arrive after an event had been rescheduled, especially if the notice was only seen after the fact.
When an event is rescheduled, guests are notified by email through the ticketing system, as that is the contact method attached to the order. That said, we understand not everyone checks email while on their way to an event, and we are always working to make communication clearer and easier for guests.
To be very clear: under our Cheeky Guarantee, if MyCheekyDate reschedules an event, guests may request a refund. If a guest’s own plans change, their ticket remains valid as a flexible credit for a future event of the same type.
Eventbrite is the ticket provider and payment platform, which is why refund requests are submitted through Eventbrite. However, if a refund request is connected to a MyCheekyDate reschedule, guests can also contact us directly so we can help ensure the request is handled properly under the Cheeky Guarantee.
We are sorry this experience felt disappointing and inconvenient. That is never the impression we want a guest to leave with. Our events are designed to be organized, balanced, and enjoyable, and when a schedule change happens, our goal is to handle it with clarity, flexibility, and care.
Cheers,
The MyCheekyDate Team 💕
Nice idea but the business model needs…
Nice idea but the business model needs improvement. Even though they advertise an age range, they allow candidates of 20-30 years over that range. It is the second event I attended where that happened. Allowing someone 5-7 years older is one thing, but sitting across from a person older than my dad was uncomfortable and unpleasant. The participant told me he was informed everyone is welcomed. This is fake advertisement and unfair to the participants.

Hi Alina,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that this particular event felt uncomfortable for you — that’s never the experience we aim to create.
For context, we’d like to note that you’ve attended six events with us, with strong engagement and outcomes overall — including a match at your most recent event and 11 matches across prior events, which is wonderful to see and very impressive. :-)
To clarify one point raised: our listed age ranges are recommendations rather than strict cutoffs, something we note on our website. We aim to keep events closely aligned with those ranges while also operating within broad anti-discrimination requirements nationwide, and especially in California. In practice, the vast majority of guests attend events that are well within or very near the recommended ages.
That said, comfort is personal, and if an interaction felt off, we take that feedback seriously and will always do our best to make it up to our daters.
We also note our guest services team reached out if you fancy a chat!
Hope to see you again very soon :-)
Cheers,

DO NOT BUY tickets to these events!
DO NOT BUY tickets to these events. they are a scam and will not refund your money. They plan events, sell tickets through eventbrite and then "postpone" due to request for different dates or lack of interest. Bought tickets for a nov event, canceled, got pushed to dec, canceled, then got pushed to Jan and you guessed it canceled. They refuse to reund and so does eventbrite! SCAMMERS
