I wasn't sure what to expect but the experience is thoughtfully designed and I met a lot of friendly and kind people and was happy with those I matched with!
It felt casual and easy. I also liked that there wasn't a lot of pre-work ahead of time and they offer conversation starters if you want them (but not required). This was by far my best speed dating experience so far out of the companies I've tried.

Relaxed experience, had a great time
I have done a couple speed dating events over the years, and so far this was my favorite experience. It's a small number of people so you get a longer time to chat (though 10 minutes still goes by so fast). I found the Web app they use to tell you who to talk to next very easy to use, and I never had a moment where I could not find the person I was supposed to chat with next. The vibe was very relaxed and low stakes (this was for queer women so might need to factor that in as well to the chill vibes), and I had a very nice time chatting with new people. Full disclosure, I did match with someone, so that could influence my feelings about it, but I left the event thinking it had been fun and worthwhile even if I didn't match with anyone. The downside of fewer people to chat with is that you are more likely not to match, but even with that in mind, this was the best speed dating experience I've had so far. Definitely worse ways to kill a couple hours at a bar for sure.

Try it, why not :)
I didn’t meet anyone I loved, but it was such a fun expirience regardless! Super chill take on speed dating I was worried about it being awkward. Great way to meet new people! I felt so safe.

They are a scam dating company!
They are a scam dating company in Oregon. Only the host "Joe" has access to matches and it's at his discretion whether you will get a match or not. They wanna make money so they'll say you didn't match with anyone so you keep attending their events. They are a shady business with no transparency! We aren't allowed to ask/ share our personal info with dates so they have full control. I wouldn't recommend them to anyone.
Even if you match the host “Joe” will message this: Unfortunately, you did not have any matches. Don't let it discourage you, it's about finding the right one, not just anyone.
Each conversation is a step toward understanding yourself and what you seek in a partner. Stay optimistic, and we'll see you at the next one!

I’m Joe, one of the founders of Luvvly, and I want to personally address your concerns. First, I’m genuinely sorry to hear you felt this way about your experience.
To clarify: while we do oversee the matching process to ensure everything runs smoothly and safely, we never manipulate, edit, or prevent anyone from matching. Matches are based entirely on mutual interest—if two people express interest in each other on their match form, they'll be matched and if there isn't mutual interest they are not, period. To avoid any human error, we’ve thoroughly tested and automated our matching system to ensure 100% accuracy.
The rule about not sharing personal info during events is designed with everyone’s safety and comfort in mind. It’s part of what makes the experience low-pressure, especially when meeting new people for the first time.
If you’d like to chat more about your experience and anything we can do better, I’d be happy to hear from you and see how we can make things right. You can reach out at [email protected].
Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts—it helps us improve, and I truly appreciate it.
Kindly,
Joe
