I try to attend 4 to 6 events a month, however; I could fill my calendar with many more activities that I'd love to do if I had the time! There is truly something for everyone. I've met many wonderful friends, which makes it even more fun!
This is total scam.Asking for this type of membership social number also mentioned 6month free and I didn't get chance to read because I was in zoom call with Veronica from phone.She asked me to sign and didn't mentioned before I sign anytime I can cancel.When I asked she said we don't do this type's however there is a options 3days for cancellation.But saying 6month free then total amount for 18 month and another 30 fees for what? I am glad just checked and saw all the comments which makes me nervous.I could put 0star if they have options

I was tired of sitting around the house by myself. Putting things on my calendar was the motivator I needed.
Great way to meet new people and enjoy different adventures outside your comfort zone. I thoroughly enjoyed E&A so far. I've travelled internationally and had the time of my life.
To meet new friends and travel
Events & Adventures is a wonderful club to get out of your comfort zone and experience new activities. I did so many things, from playing on the beach, to graffiti lessons, lightsaber class, and parties. I loved every single one and met wonderful people.
My only complaint is that most events are attended by 70% women on average so there are not many men to meet. But that's not their fault, just the way the world is. More women are willing to go out and meet more people.
A friend recommended it. She has a friend who joined in Houston and loved it.

I am getting out of this group what I was looking for, and that is an opportunity to do things and go places I wouldn't do by myself. I haven't found any real connections there, but that wasn't my first goal. My one struggle is that I'm in an office 5 days a week in an exhausting position-so sometimes mid week events are not terribly appealing
An opportunity to do fun things I wouldn't do on my own. I'm "new-ish" to town, so it's great to have excuse to get out and about.
They promised lots of events and showed me a fictional calendar during my interview. After 2 years of membership, I was never able to attend a single event: There were only 2-3 per week on the calendar they actually had on the app, and they were always full. I recommend against it. They do not provide what they promise.
Tip for consumers:
Dont choose this company. .
If you are a quiet, introvert type person, it is hard to meet people. It is hard fit in with the groups of friends already made. People are nice but tend to gather with the people the already know. Drinking seems to be a big part of events too. I have fun participating in the actual activities but meeting any friends. It has not happen yet. It has been 7 months since I joined
I joined E&A to get out and do things and meet people.
I've been involved quite a bit since I've joined. I've made many friends and enjoyed almost every aspect of the group. I am very disappointed that some of the events we attend cost MORE than if a person went individually. One event that comes to mind is mini golf event in late spring/early summer. I was planning to sign up for the event, but on a whim I checked the actual price on the golf course website - it was several dollars cheaper - and we didn't have the venue to ourselves. We all paid a good deal of money to join, regardless of term length, and it is illogical to pay more for ANYTHING that the general public would - when a group discount seems a lot more likely. Also, there almost always seems to be a bit of confusion on the part of the host, as if they showed up to take attendance, and have no clue as to any of the processes involved with that particular event.
New to the area after a move, had recently gone thru a divorce, and just wanted to meet people outside of work & the industry I work in.
The planned events success depends on the Host. Belle sets the example and ensures that an ice breaker is used to put the guests at ease. Some events do not facilitate an opportunity to get to know each other, but instead just participating in the event. The best events are dinners, trivia, escape rooms, and other team events where we get to work with each other. However, the cost of some of these events are expensive ($45 for a 1 hour escape room) and quite frankly unproductive as far as getting to know new people. Perhaps more date like events like the Opera, plays, concerts, and farmers markets. Also, recurring weekly events are great, as the same group of folks show up and bond. Maybe more weekly evenst at the same place, trivia nights, bowling, softball, or pickleball leagues?
To meet and date new people. There way too many members who are in a relationship who bring their significate others to E&A events meant for singles. If a member enters a relationship, then why would they come to a singles event. Perhaps you could post events that are strictly for singles and mingling, and those where couples are welcome.
Couple things: E&A is not cheap. I dunno what membership fees are now, but it was pretty expensive then and I can't imagine it's cheaper. That turns a lot of people off. That's also a good thing. The people who join are mostly employed, mostly successful, mostly semi-established, and not hard-core drunks/addicts.
People in the club are all ages. The min age is 21. The max age member I've meet is 70s. I'd say the median age is probably 40-45. Some events may be only older crouds, others, younger. Some might be only ladies, while others mostly dudes. But there is usually a good mix. Don't just go looking to date.
Upon joining Events & Adventures, I remained optimistic of what opportunities may come of the various, interesting events offered by the organization. Truthfully, given time and a fair chance, "E&A" has lived up to and even a bit exceeded my expectations. I now have ways to enjoy the things I love to do, and try new things with people I can connect with, enjoy the experiences more, and make new connections and friends!
I was very much seeking more social interaction in my life. Most of the people I grew up with have built their lives together with someone to cherish and grow with. I wanted to find a more natural outlet to find my special someone and also make a new circle of friends. Events and Adventures definitely has been that outlet that’s making it possible to build new connections. I am glad I joined!
I thoroughly enjoyed my trip to New Zealand and Australia with E&A! The host was incredible and patient with our large group. She was able to keep her cool through multiple hiccups in the trip (it's gonna happen whenever you travel, just have to be flexible and make some concessions at times) as well as keeping everyone informed and engaged.
There were several days that felt like an absolute breakneck pace and it was daunting even for a seasoned traveler such as myself. I would've preferred one event a day with an optional second one (excursions) that could be selected. They were very close to hitting this model, but crammed in a bit more than needed IMO. As the days progressed, there was more free time to unwind and explore, but this really would've been better upfront.
For the chance to go on trips with other singles sans children and the additional work that's required to travel with them. It was nice to have everything booked and planned in advance with opportunities to get out and try some new things and places.
Don't do it. It's over priced and most people aren't who they say they are. They also threaten to report you to credit bureau and don't let you opt out of a $2000 a year membership after 3 days and it's truly not worth the cost
Tip for consumers:
It’s a terrible company and don’t recommend it to anyone
I'm having a good time so far but I wish the events had a little more structure. So far it seems like people arrive at the venue and just do their own thing. And in some of the events there have been cliques who don't try to welcome in new members so it's hard to get to know anyone. I think a little more structure would help these issues.
I chose E&A because I have difficulty meeting new people and I was hoping this would help.
Great group to build friendly connections, access to fun events in the area and new experiences to try. Various price ranges and opportunities to give feedback. Can be pricey and some variability around event choices but an overall fun experience especially if you are looking forward to outsourcing or complementing event planning for your social calendar and looking to meet people who love activities you are into.
Access to social connections, new experiences and events and support with planning social calendar.
So I called to find out about the membership, and they did advise me that if you are a convicted felon of any crime, does it matter that you will not be accepted. However, are we dealing with grown adults. People make mistakes in their life. I don't think they should be counted out because they have a felony. I mean definitely have discretion and be something that they are open and willing to talk about but the count them out because I have a felony is is ridiculous.!
Tip for consumers:
Well, I hope you never got in trouble in your whole life for us. You’re going to stay single. Lmao! No, you just can’t use a quality site because they discriminate against convicted felons for any reason.!
I love the fact that it's a stressless experience. I've done things with EA I never knew existed and i met great ladies which have developed into friendships and regular car pools, etc. i haven't met anyone special but I'm not really looking. I'm enjoying my time with EA.
How long EA has been around. I love that it’s more about events than “dating.”
We did so much, but at times the itinerary seemed to be up for editing. We would have benefitted with a formal itinerary. I did not realize that the changing of venues would be so physically challenging. I could have planned packing better for the change of venues. The most annoying part was the constant tipping. I am not sure we were informed how many guides and bus drivers we would need to tip. It really added up. Great experience, once in a lifetime!
Membership and their experience planning trips.
Even though it's a great way to meet people, I'm not always happy with the financial handling. It is known as being a bit greedy by charging more for events than the cost to the organization. In my personal experience, I was expected to pay an additional $1k+ for a trip due to an error on their part. I have also met a lot of friends, so that's the positive.
I wanted to explore new activities both in Dallas and internationally and also make friends.

Membership and their experience planning trips.
Events and adventures has been a fantastic experience for me. I love how I can just sign up and go visit with friends. Have some fun and have some drinks. Have some great food have some great conversation and get up to some silly stuff. Events and adventures has been one of the best decisions I've made in a very long time. I really like how events and adventures allows me to not take life quite so seriously and just enjoy events and friends and fun and entertainment. I have met the most amazing people, I am so grateful for each one of them.
I was in a dark place. Events and adventures is that tiny spark. And I knew that that was enough to help me reignite my passion for life.
I have been a member for over 5 years and I absolutely love the group! It has changed my life for the better in every way between learning new things, meeting new people and going to places I've never been before. It's also a great way to learn your city and state if you are new to the area.
The only thing I would stay away from is the international trips. Neither E&A nor travel insurance will reimburse you if you have an emergency. It's a lot of money to lose.
I had just moved here and only had one friend who did not have the same interests as me. Since I joined E&A, I now have lifelong friends who I trust completely and we help each other out as well as do many adventures on our own in addition to the E&A calendar.
My overall experience has been ok, but i would like more variety of events that are closer to where i live and are offered early in the day.
I wanted to meet people and get out more
For an introvert, this group can be very intimidating at first, but I can only encourage you to put yourself out there. Go to the events and start talking with people and you'll no longer have those fears. It's a very diverse group which makes things more interesting. After being on my own in a huge city not knowing anyone, signing up with E&A I've managed to have a ton of new experiences be it things or places and have made several new friends. Events and Adventures was a life changing investment for me.
I joined looking for love, but quickly realized how much I had needed a group of friends. Every time I hear someone in the group saying they are not sure if they will renew their membership, I look around at the people, the activities, the venue, and say, "there's no way I could organize this myself with my hectic schedule." This group has made a huge difference to my life.
I kept seeing the ads on Facebook, and it looked like a fun way to meet people.
In a group there? ۪s no pressure, you can relax and be yourself. Enjoy 30-50 great events each month from casual hangout to active adventure and world travel
