You may, if you so wish, attend ONE event as a non-member at a premium but you must call ahead to confirm your reservation and complete a registration form before we can take payment for the event and put you on the guestlist. If membership is cancelled, whether by us or by you, the registration fee and annual membership fee is non-refundable.

The success of Dinner Dates has stimulated demand for membership all over the country, which cannot be adequately serviced by the London-based company so the company has decided to open up franchise opportunities countrywide.

​

Equal Numbers Policy

​

We organise all our dinners, drinks parties and balls to have equal numbers of men and women. However, for a range of reasons occasionally there may be slightly more women than men attending on the night, or vice versa. It is important to remember that numbers are always subject to change up until the day. We work extremely hard to ensure that there are even numbers for each event the day before the event is planned to take place during our Monday to Friday office hours. However we cannot be held responsible for cancellations and no-shows. We do not attempt to have equal numbers of the sexes at other events. However before you book, on request we will advise you of the numbers of men and women who have already booked.

​

​

Booking an Event

​

You must email or call us to indicate your interest in an event. All events must be pre-paid. Money changing hands on the night is not our style. A booking is only confirmed once payment has been processed and email confirmation sent. To pay for an event you must call the office and provide your card details. Payments should be processed within 10-15 minutes unless you are informed otherwise and you will receive an email of your payment confirmation. If you do not receive this payment confirmation within 24 hours you should contact us in the office. Payment details or card information is not held on record and automatically destroyed after 60 minute s.

​

​

Event Cancellation & Refund Policy

​

If we cancel or change the date of an event, we will offer you a refund or credit which you may put towards any upcoming event. An email will be sent to you confirming your refund or credit; you should keep this email safe as you may be required to present it when redeeming it. If you wish to cancel your booking you must email the office. Written confirmation of a cancellation must be sent to info@dinnerdates.com; a phone call or voicemail may not be sufficient due to office opening hours. A cancellation email is only necessary if you have booked and paid for an event. If you are no longer interested or available to attend an event that you have indicated your interest for a courtesy email or call is preferable but not required. However, it will ensure that you no longer recieve direct communications about the event. Refunds are not given if: -details of an event are changed, provided that the date and nature of the event are the same -if unequal numbers of men and women attend -if you are dissatisfied with the calibre of attendees or the calibre of the event itself -if you fail to attend without cancelling. We accept no liability for any other costs or losses you may have incurred relating to the event.

Using Dinner Dates For Commercial Gain

We encourage suitable people to join Dinner Dates to enhance their personal social life. Dinner Dates is regarded as the singles social events organisation that others aspire to be like. We have many wonderful members and from time-to-time we become aware that members are using us as a source or recruiting members for non-Dinner Dates events and/or to obtain information about our events and organisation which we regard as our intellectual property. It is not permitted to join Dinner Dates or attend any event for the purposes of commercial gain of any kind. If you breach this term you agree to pay us a minimum fee of £5,000. If you are approached by anyone at one of our events and it appears that their approach may have some commercial element, please advise us immediately.
