I have been in Events & Adventures (E&A) for 1.5 years and can say that E&A can be a good way to try new things and meet new people (though you will meet some who are not single). I have attended some really fun events and alternately, there were a few months where I didn’t attend any events because nothing piqued my interest. We recently got a new awesome local Events Manager so I am confident we will start seeing more & more interesting new events on the calendar. But it really depends on your personal activity preferences.While I have generally enjoyed my time in the club, I am still a bit upset by the fact that the organization (at a corporate level) does not have the members’ best interest at heart. When I was diagnosed with COVID last year after the event cancel deadline, I tried reaching out to our event manager at the time to try to cancel, per their policy to not attend events if you are sick. While I did reach out on Friday for a Sunday tasting tour event, no one returned my messages until the following Tuesday (claiming my multiple messages went to spam). The rep Jocelyn concluded that “more advance notice” was needed so “we can do our best” to get me a refund and that “many venues are not willing to refund because they lose profits as well”. If they had at least tried to reach out to the vendor regarding getting my $105 refunded, that would’ve have been better than them just telling me they flat-out weren’t even going to try because they were more concerned about the venue’s or their own profits than the member losing their hard-earned money. Heck, I would’ve even been ecstatic with a credit to attend a tour of the venue on my own since I really wanted to attend this event but they didn’t even TRY to work anything out. That whole situation left a sour taste in my mouth that has dampened my E&A experience ever since.In summary, E&A does deliver on their promise to provide dozens of events monthly for (mostly) single people – just don’t expect them to try to work hard to provide just resolutions to any unexpected issues that may arise.And if you get sick, make sure it happens BEFORE the cancel deadline, since corporate seems to think that that is in our control.

I joined the club about a year ago, and I have been having a blast at the local events, weekend getaway, and even one fabulous international trip. It is so great to be able to look at the calendar and have so many fun events already planned! Then I can pick and choose what events I’d like to go to and new experiences I’d like to have. I have met many fun people in the club. This is a great opportunity for someone who is new to the area are going through a life change and wanting to meet new people. I highly recommend it!

I joined 6 months prior to the pandemic-loved the interactions, wine tasting, hiking, skydiving etc. then when pandemic hit virtual book club, film club and cooking nights YUM! It’s fun to just show up meet new people-learn something new or just relax. I’ve been on 1 international trip to Machu Picchu-absolutely fantastic! hiked for 4 days then met up with the other 1/2 of the group. Wonderful people, safe and organized. I can’t wait for my 2nd trip to Croatia this summer. If you are looking for casual fun and meeting new people without a lot of planning-this group is for you!

Have had an overall great experience so far. It’s a fun way to meet new people and try some new experiences without the hassle of organizing things yourself. Have met some really great new friends, and would encourage anyone new to the area to give it a shot.

This place is perfect to meet new people!!! I definitely recommend this place to anyone who has trouble meeting people with friendships or even in the dating world. The people who work there are very knowledgeable and comforting.

Lynne in the office was so sweet when I met with her. I really have enjoyed my time with this group! Anytime I called for help with my account the staff was helpful too. This group has helped me build my social circle a lot.

Some weeks I can’t make it to many events bc of working so much, but the ones I can attend are fun. Game nights, wine tasting, volleyball, a cooking class – it’s great to get out of my routine and be able to meet new people

I joined events and adventures 2 years ago after recently moving from New Jersey and so I was brand new to the Bay Area. I was also recently single so I was looking to rebuild my social network of friends and wanted to break the monotony of working full time and actually spend time with people outside of the office.I’m so happy with my membership and I always feel welcome whenever I go to an event. The hosts and event coordinators are lovely people and they do a great job and you can tell that they love what they do and care about their members.

not worth it for me, since I wouldn’t be able to attend a lot of activities…pretty expensive as well, but probably worth it for people with more time and energy 🙂

I really want to let the folks know in this area how great it is to be a member of this private club! I joined in July 2015, so I have almost finished my first year. In that year I have made so many friends and met my amazing man through the club. An advantage to this club is having access to all nine clubs calendars! I visit San Jose at least four times a year so this works great for me! I just open the Santa Clara calendar when in the area and sign up! It’s great for those of us who travel!

It is so much fun hanging out with the people at Events and Adventures. We all have so much in common, single, fun and adventurous. Always a lot of events and adventures to choose from every day of the week, all over the SF bay area. There is so many great things to do it makes me want to forget about work. I’ve met some great people there and looking forward to more good times.

These guys know what they’re doing. I went with a group of buds and they set it all up for us. It was so much fun, and we will definitely be going back!

Very nice very nice, this is a one of a kind organization, that most people don’t even know about! Although there are minor areas which could have some mending, it is amazing overall!

I travel for work all over the states and it is soooo nice that when I travel california, I have a group to go do stuff with instead of hanging out in a hotel by myself. 😀

Fun club, good people. My friends outside of the club base all their outings around alcohol so this was a pretty awesome change. I’ve been white water rafting, sailing, played trampoline dodge ball, hiking, camping, disco rollerblading, swing dancing, line dancing, horseback riding (basically naming off my most memorable events, the list goes on.) The membership is less than my bar tabs. I probably never would have made friends with the people I’m hanging out with now because we probably would have never crossed paths. For newcomers, don’t be shy, everyone is friendly. I was nervous when I walked into my first event (volleyball) and everyone seemed genuinely pleased to meet me. I recommend trampoline dodgeball for a first event if you’re athletic (or need to get in shape haha)- everyone gets fired up! Its like initiation 😉 The dating scene is chill, you basically get to know everyone on a friendship basis so dating is easy. Been in the club 7 months so far, loving it.
