Born in the UK — and now officially back with our London speed dating page — MyCheekyDate crossed the pond in 2007 to bring a cheekier, more refined British spin to American speed dating. Since then, we’ve welcomed hundreds of thousands of lovely daters across 50+ cities and been featured in more than 20 national shows, from Bravo’s Rate the Date and Top Chef Masters to our Drive N Date series with General Motors. We’re absolutely chuffed to see our daters celebrated for their charm, sincerity, and spark.
We’ve redefined what speed dating can be — creating experiences that are elegant, effortless, and genuinely enjoyable. Our events attract a more sophisticated, kind, and curious crowd than ever before. While other companies may rely on gimmicks or chaos, we’ve perfected the art of less is more — refined settings, attentive hosts, and meaningful connections.
And because we believe that niceness matters, every dater is screened not just for attendance, but for attitude. We pay close attention to the feedback we receive from our hosts and guests alike. Those who bring warmth, grace, and good manners often receive complimentary invitations or matchmaking opportunities, while those who aren’t quite the right fit receive a polite “no, thank you.” Our goal is simple: to create a community where lovely people meet lovely people.
Our approach to Matchmaking is just as refreshing — no long contracts, no endless forms, no consultant jargon. It’s as simple as selecting your package, sharing your preferences, and letting us curate a night designed for chemistry and connection. Sophisticated simplicity at its best.
Over nearly two decades, one request from our daters has remained constant: “Can you help me beyond the event?” From dating profiles to wardrobe advice to untangling romantic confusion, our Advice & Coaching offerings grew naturally from those conversations. Personal, trusted, and deeply experienced, our team provides insight into modern dating that’s unmatched in both depth and empathy.
And because connection extends beyond romance, we’re proud to give back through Nights for Suzanne, our ongoing partnership with The Joan Gaeta Foundation for Lung Cancer Awareness. Donate to any cancer charity in the amount of your ticket, let us know you’ve contributed, and we’ll happily add you to the guest list for your chosen event — our treat. It’s dating with heart, purpose, and a touch of cheek.
