About the event
Q. What is a Jamika Double Speed Dating event?
A. Jamika Double Speed Dating is termed “Double” as you get to meet double the members of the other sex in the same amount of time compared to traditional one-on-one speed dating. It minimises the daunting experience of a one-on-one date. You will have a double speed date buddy by your side during each double date.
Jamika Double Speed Dating replicates a more natural way to meet and socialise with new people. As everyone is in a more comfortable environment, your true self is more likely to shine through, increasing the chance of enjoying yourself and the company of your dates.
Q. When and where are the Double Speed Dating events held?
A. We understand that our guests would have busy schedules on the weekend, so Jamika events are mostly scheduled for weeknights at popular venues around Melbourne CBD. Details about up and coming Jamika Events will be posted on our website and linked to our facebook group.
Q. What happens if half way through I don’t enjoy myself?
A. Jamika Events’ hosts endeavour to ensure a fun night for everyone. However, should any guest become uncomfortable during the event, please bring it to the host’s attention and the host will privately go over options with the guest. And the decision that the guest makes shall be respected. Should the guest decide to leave, please be aware that we will be unable to refund your admission, as we have organised catering and event coordination on your behalf.
Q. What time do the events begin and end?
A. Most of our Double Speed Dating events begins at 7:00 pm, with the dates starting at 7:30 pm and running approximately to 9:45 pm. During the night there will be a 15 minute break for more canapés and drinks. Jamika Events do reserve the rights to vary the schedule and night proceedings if we see fit.
Q. What's the dress code?
A. Jamika Events promote an atmosphere of Style and Fun. Remember, dress to impress as you are going on a series of double speed dates.
About the people
Q. What kind of people will I meet?
A. Our guests tend to be single professionals. Double Speed Dating is a relatively new concept, so our guests are believers of “All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better”.
Q. Will I meet new people at each Double Speed Dating event?
A. While we can't guarantee that all participants will be new to you, we will try our best to not include you in a Double Speed Dating event where there are more than two people whom you have previously met.
Q. Are there always equal numbers of men and women at these events?
A. Jamika Events try our best to ensure that there would be an equal number of men and women at each of our events. We ensure that we have the required number of people confirmed and we send out several email and SMS reminders. We also ask people to let us know if they can no longer make it as we can usually fill a space, even at the last minute. Nevertheless, life is full of surprises outside of our control, so at times there will be unequal numbers, despite our best efforts.
