Events and Adventures Reviews

I joined Boston Events and Adventures this past winter as I was going through some significant life changes. I was looking forward to making new connections, friends and trying all sorts of new things in and around Boston. The club has by FAR exceeded my expectations. Not only have I met some of my closest friends who I call family, but I’ve so enjoyed the many different offerings such as line and salsa dancing, karaoke, museums, paint classes, shows, dinners, boat cruises, dueling piano bars, cooking classes, walks around different parts of Boston, and escape rooms. If you’re looking to get out and about, meet new people, and have a great time while doing so, I highly recommend Boston Events and Adventures.

I love Events & Adventures! A great place to meet new folks, I’ve made some awesome friends through this club, both locally and across the country.

From sky-diving, paint-nights, parties, murder mysteries, and pizza-making to trips to Iceland, across Europe, hot air balloons in New Mexico, Renaissance Fairs in Texas, to Universal Studios Orlando, E&A is a way to get out, do fun things and meet fun people.

I just got back from the most recent Harry Potter/Star Wars trip to Orlando Universal and Disney, which was delightful and full of wonderful people and lots of laughs.

There are events almost every day all across your club footprint, for folks who like active stuff like hiking and skiing, folks who are more foodie-minded, folks who are geeky — all of it. You can give your input for things you’d like to do, as well, and your hosts can help make it happen. All around, would definitely recommend!

I joined E & A at the end of June. I had been thinking of trying this for years but, something always held me back for some reason or other. I really wanted to broaden my social circle, so I finally made the commitment to join. I don’t regret the decision at all. I was a little nervous at first, going to my first event. The host was friendly, greeted me and introduced me to others upon my arrival. I immediately felt welcome. I have attended so many different events since joining. Everyone is very nice. I attended the Labor Day weekend up in Maine. Being a new member I was able to get to know other members in a short amount of time. We had a blast! I just wish I signed up sooner!

Such a fun group so glad I joined. So many activities to choose from each month and always meeting great people. Way better use of my time going out and meeting people versus sitting at home on a Friday night swiping on dating apps..

E&A never gets old! I joined a little over two years ago and never have I regretted my decision. In addition to the recurring events each month, there are always new events that bring members together in a unique and fun way. The recent Mixology class at a member’s establishment is a perfect example. The BIG event on the horizon is this year’s NYE party in Boston! Event manager Shannen has put together an event that is sure to close 2023 and usher in 2024 with a bang! Join now and we’ll see you there!!! You won’t regret it!!!

We had a fantastic Labor Day weekend at Pine Lodge in Northport, Maine! Shannen did an excellent job finding a house and location that offered members so many options fun options. We kayaked, enjoyed a private sail on a schooner in Camden, had a luau, bonfires and s’mores, enjoyed the pool and hot tub, and best of all, we enjoyed the company of old and new friends! Kudos to Shannen for creating another great event and adventure enjoyed by all!

Joining E&A Boston was one of the best things I have ever done for myself! I’ve been a member for almost two years and have made some amazing friends. I’ve also done so many fun events and gone on several adventures! Fun times out at restaurants, wineries, breweries, game nights, ball games, bowling, axe throwing, ropes course, hikes, Boston Harbor cruises, weekends away at a dude ranch in the Catskills and “glamping” in NH’s White Mountains are only a few of the many scheduled events that have kept me busy and having fun. I’m always looking forward to the next event to share good times with old and new friends. 🙂

This Club is so great!! I wish I joined sooner. The people are so nice and so much fun. I’ve made lots of great friendships and connections. Plus I never knew some of these places we’ve had events even existed. Like the hysterical S%!t faced Shakespearian Improv play last night.
Such a great variety of things to do. I’m no longer stumped when I’m looking for fun places to go or other single people to go with.
As far as the membership process and fee, Totally worth it!!!! No point in paying for dating sites to do nothing but surf on your couch til you actually, if at all, meet someone, friends or otherwise. Plus, it protects you from scams and catfishing.

Sometimes there’s so many events, I just can’t do them all and when I miss a good one I kick myself for not going.

The people come from all over and are do nice.

Events and Adventures makes life so much more interesting. I joined as a member in late summer/early fall last year and quickly made tons of new friends and have had all kinds of awesome experiences. The cost is a little expensive depending on which membership you go for but they do have payment plans and clearly outline everything and go over the contract with you before you agree to anything. After a few months, I started “hosting” events (basically I sign people in, get to new members, and introduce them to others as continuing on with the event as I myself am a paying member as well).

I noticed a few of the reviews talk about hosts but don’t seem to understand that we’re regular members too!

Each city gets one events manager in charge of the schedule and members and then they can assemble a team of hosts to assist in sign ins at each event.

When I initially joined, it was made clear off the bat that some events cost money – especially the trips – which I thought was completely understandable.

Since joining, several of the friends I’ve made have found significant others within the group and there are also people who joined just for the fantastic friendships that can be created with it!

I highly recommend joining E&A and have attached a few example photos of different places we’ve gone and things we’ve done. There are hundreds of members and hundreds of opportunities to have fun!

EDIT 11/24/23: I’ve been in the group two years now and still love it as much as I have since day one! I’m planning on renewing my membership soon because I have never been happier! I have more friends and a better social life than ever before. There’s never a lack of things to do and it’s easy to sign up for events, even at the last minute.

I’ve been a member for a few years now, and I’ve made some of the best friends I’ve ever had. I now go out and feel comfortable with new people and do all kinds of activities. Best way to get to know new people and have a great time in a low pressure environment 🙂
I highly recommend joining if you want to make friend that can last a lifetime !!

I’ve gone to several events and had a blast! Definitely recommend. Shannen does a great job!

This group is a lot of fun. It’s a great way to meet people and try new things.

It has been a great joy to have members of Events & Adventures join us at our productions! The group is always so joyous and such a responsive audience. Please come back again!

I am a member of the E&A Boston club. I had joined E&A post-covid with the intent of meeting like-minded single people who like trying new experiences and activities. I have been in the club for almost 2 years now and it has been a positive experience. As someone who likes to try anything at least once, over the last 2 years I have attended different events ranging from brunches, dinner nights, bowling, axe-throwing, pickleball, hiking, escape rooms, halloween parties, friendsgiving, breweries, wine tasting, whiskey tasting, cocktail nights, comedy nights, dart throwing, plays, movie nights, cigar clubs, bakeries, dog friendly events, Kentucky Derby parties and many more. There is a wide variety of events on the E&A calendar every month, and the best part is that it is all planned for you. You just need to sign-up and show-up. The club also does international trips for those who like to travel and 3 day trips over long weekends like labor day and memorial day. I recently did the labor day long weekend trip to Northport, Maine which was a lot of fun. E&A had rented a huge house on the water for the group. There were fun activities like schooner sail, kayaking, luau dinner, pool and hot tub to lounge in and trip to a local winery. The best thing about my E&A experience has been the fact that I found out about so many local places in Massachusetts that I was not aware of and would not have discovered, had it not been for E&A. The hosts at all events have been very nice too and everyone in the club is friendly. I would recommend E&A to anyone who likes to try different things and let someone else worry about organizing their social life.

Yes, the membership fee is expensive, as others have mentioned. BUT it is truly worth it as the members are an amazing group of individuals who enjoy trying new activities, fun outings, and vacations together. Shannen does a fantastic job filling the calendar with various activities. No matter the event, members always discuss what future events they are signed up for with the excitement of when they will see each other again.

Labor Day weekend, 2023, was my first vacation with the group. Shannen rented a beautiful house and organized a private schooner sail, kayaking, and a luau. We laughed till our abs hurt, and we had tears in our eyes.

I joined E&A about 3 months ago and I will say that it was a great discussion. I was (like most) skeptical with the whole process of signing up. But I’m glad I did. I have gone on about 10 events. Meet new ppl each time and built new friendships. And the members have been great
to the point that i feel like i have know them forever. Which allows you to be yourself around them and not worry about judgment. The concept of this group is great. It gives you a way to meet ppl in different settings making it easier to connect with them. The hosts have been very knowledgeable, organized, and welcoming. And the fact that activities have touched different areas of interest makes me look forward to what’s to come

E&A is great experience and an easy way meet quality people and lifelong friends. The schedule of events including weekend getaways a great time saver for your social life, You will never be bored again

I recently signed up for Events and Adventures Boston. On Monday I went to salsa dancing at the Anchor in Charlestown. On Thursday I went to karaoke at Kings In Burlington. And on Saturday I went to Martha’s Vineyard. These advents were well organized using the GroupMe app. The members are able to communicate with each other regarding parking, where to meet, who has arrived and who needs to cancel. All the members that I met were very friendly and welcoming. I am excited to attend the pool party event this Saturday!

I joined as a guest for sky diving and had the best time with Shannen T and her group! What great people to jump out of a plane w it h

Such a blast!! Recently joined in on the event for archery dodgeball and left with only good things to say. Very organized and welcoming community. Such a great way to meet people and try new experiences at the same time. Shannen led this event gracefully and energetically! I cannot recommend enough!

A plethora of events to choose from. All events are well-organized and planned superbly by Shannen, the Boston Manager. A great option for trying something new, meeting new people, or just having fun. Well worth the time. The staff does a wonderful job.

I joined in September and, of course, I was hesitant due to the fee for joining and then the event fees. I have not regretted that decision. I have met so many wonderful people who have become fast friends. Since you go to events that you like the people you meet also like those things. Win win. Once you join you have to engage with others. We were all new members once. We know it’s scary meeting new people. Just say hi. The others will do the rest. Update! I just went on the memorial day weekend trip and had an amazing time! Everyone is so nice!

Been having so much fun with a ton of great people especially memorial day weekend I had a blast and hung out with a group of fantastic people would recommend more friends to join

Had a great time at fenway tour. Looking forward to more events

Shannon organized a great event @ Fenway park. Awesome time.

I joined the original E and A years back and was so disappointed when it closed down. When its resurgence was announced, i was very excited. And it certainly met, surpassed expectations. I have met a lot of great people so far. Definitely worth the membership fee.

Update: it’s been a year since I joined and the NEW E and A and it keeps getting better and better. It’s my second family, my home away from home.

This has been an incredible opportunity for me to meet tons of new people and try an endless variety of activities that I never would have thought of doing previously! What’s great about joining a group like this is that it gives you structure and creates a centralized platform where you can build a social life!

E&A has not just given me a greatly planned social calendar for the month, but also the platform to meet some of the most amazing people with whom I might not have crossed paths with had it not been for this group.

I joined after losing a partner to get myself out of the house, make friends & connections and see & experience the city I now live in. The value of the membership more than outweighs the cost, I’ve made connections that feel like family, I’ve met a wonderful man and I’ve experienced more of Boston in the past 6 months being a part of E&A than I had in the past 3 years since moving here.

E&A was exactly what I needed after the funk I went through during my recovery from an illness that affected my brain and mobility. Besides my amazing family, maybe jority of the people in my life somehow vanished. I basically had a year of isolation during my recovery and then the pandemic started right as I was ready to live again. So glad I discovered E&A. I went skydiving during my second month. Loved it!!!! Best feeling ever!!!!! I don’t think I would have ever done that outside this group. I haven’t had a single week go by without me attending events since I joined. I’ve met amazing people! It’s great feeling like I belong. I am so excited about what’s to come in the upcoming year. I’m hoping to keep my weekly event streak going. I’m not ready to skip a week of fun events and adventures anytime soon. Thank you E&A 💕

I joined earlier this year and glad I did. Not only have I met many new people but also went kayaking, horse back riding, bowling, goat yoga, etc. I have not gone on any international trips yet but have gone on several weekend trips. The trips are well planned and you need only show up and have fun. This is a great way to meet new people, get out and socialize with other people looking to have fun.

Diverse events with plenty of options to choose from and a range of pricing. Casual atmosphere, good people, good for building friendships as well. It’s been great having this group to support my social calendar and access to learning about events and fun places I would not have known otherwise.

I joined several months ago and I am glad I did. At first I was feeling like I was too old for this group. Im generally the oldest at the events but everyone I have met has been so friendly that it doesn’t even cross my mind anymore. The ages and backgrounds are so diverse and what I have experienced is that there is so much to learn from people of a different generation so its actually a plus. I am a very active person and I enjoy doing activities with others that have similar interests and there are so many events to choose from, there is something for everyone. I have done several events and have met such great people and have enjoyed making friends along the way! Being single can be depressing on holidays and long weekends because usually my attached friends are doing their own thing, so I try to go on the weekend trips and I have amazing memories already from those trips! From Zip-lining to horseback riding and kayaking to trivia events it’s been a blast! So glad I joined!

I have been waiting for a while after joining to give a true review. E&A has given me more than just planned events to attend, it has given me the opportunity to meet true friends. Moving back to MA and not having the social circle as I did at my previous home, I tried E&A to get out of the house and meet people (especially after the quarentine). From day one, I have meet the nicest people. But, it is more than that, the members you meet enjoy the same things as you do, want to talk, have fun, and eat good food together. 10/10 – would definitely recommend!

E&A is a great club. So much to do and great people. Been a member for a while and don’t regret it at all.

I joined over a year ago in July when the club was first starting. It started slow but it has picked up. Do I like every event? No but there are now plenty to choose from. I feel like this group is something you get what you put in. I went in just looking for friends and new experiences and to actually have a decent social life. I put myself out there and I got more out of it than I wanted or could have expected. Yes it is a lot of money but to me it was worth every penny.

My experience with events and adventure is unique one because I’ve not gone on one or signed up yet. unlike a lot of people that have spent their money and gone through it, I’m different, I read the reviews if this was truly a bad place there’d be nothing but bad reviews but instead there’s some good mixing reviews. this sounds like something that has pros and cons and this can be good experience of what you put in to it. If your like me you have a few friends but have a hard time meeting people and alot of places that you go to in boston you’re going to have to spend all your money and go through all this alone. Let me tell u cuz going through this on a Friday night on the couch alone is sad at least for me you think maybe sometimes this could be worth it
instead of spending Saturday nights alone on your couch in your pjs vs I could be having the time of your life with some friends which to me is a lot in my book. I’ll be looking more into it I don’t make a lot of money so I don’t think I can even afford this but when I first saw this I was alone in the couch I thought this could be a lot of fun I don’t have a lot of friends I sit at home a lot and I felt so lonely and then I saw this I thought it really spoke to me I’m curious to try it because I been wanting to meet people without apps which is unusual for people but not unusual for me. I find that events and adventures sounds kind of special because for once it’s not an app it’s for meeting people face to face i find that kind of unique I want to see this place succeed I like to suggest and offer some ideas to help out on the customer service front I been working in retail customers service for the past 15-20 years so I know a lot about how people work and what they want , expect and deserve. maybe offer some plans that are free for people that are in are low income, maybe also make it that there is no hidden fees so that people won’t be angry when they find out there are fees that they didn’t even realize cause the people weren’t up front, make everything clear crisp and precise so that people know exactly what they’re getting, and lastly you know this is a place that’s supposed to care about people and part about caring about people is realizing that not everybody can make up to $2,000 to spend on a event some people are just trying to get by and want to meet people without worrying about breaking the bank and I want to see this place succeed so you know try to make it more affordable for people because I think this place has something to offer and don’t want to see this place fail.

I joined E&A Boston August 31st and decided to jump right in and go to an event on September 1st. I don’t regret that decision because it helped me meet new people. I’ve gone to many different events since then and have met so many different types of people. I usually try to do the free events or the ones under $30 but once in a while I’ll spend more for an event I really want to do. They have everything from Karaoke to taking a trip to different places all over the world. When I go I usually end up having a lot of fun and we end up going to do something else like going out to eat after the event to keep the conversations going.

E&A is awesome 😎. I’ve tried new things like pottery and travelled to different countries. Although I haven’t found my soulmate, I’ve made lots of lifelong friends.

Speaking of going to different countries, I’m going to Japan in the Fall. I anticipate it’s going to be an awesome trip. I also just went to the Celtics playoff game with E&A.
