Here are a few of the letters I have received: Dear Cathy,
I wanted to write you to tell you how happy Jean and I are. To be honest, at my age (52) I didn't really think that I would ever have another long-term relationship. I just didn't think there was anyone out there who I would want to spend so much time with. Was I wrong! Thank you so much for introducing us and keep up the good work!
Sincerely,
Mike P. (September 2007)
Dave and I met at your speed dating in March 2006 and here we are - married (July, 2007)! I can't thank you enough for bringing Dave and me together at the right place at right time. When I tried speed dating, I was so surprised to find that everyone there was so "normal". In fact the quality of the other participants far exceeded my expectations. Again, thank-you for providing such a valuable service.
All the best,
Heather
I just wanted to let you know that Chris and I met at your Speed Dating event on Jan 28/06, and we haven't been apart since! We are both shocked and amazed that we met someone so perfect for each other at Speed Dating! We joke that it was the best $90 we have ever spent! I'll let you know when we set the date, the ring is already picked out!
Thank you,
Erin.
Hi Cathy,
I thought I would send you a little note to tell you that Lucy and I are getting married this coming summer! We met last March 4th [2005]. She is such a beautiful woman in every way and she is more then I could have ever dreamed of. I am lucky man! Thanks for giving us the really nice setting in order for us to meet each other!
Thanks again.
Kevin
Hello,
Last May [2004], I attended one of your events at Nellies in Marda Loop. I heard about your company through a friend. I am so glad that I attended the event, because I met someone very special. His name is Terry, and we have been together (quite happily) since we met at your event. In fact, we are living together and building a new home. I thought that you would want to hear our good news.
Regards, Sue
Dear Cathy,
I met Lisa at your speed dating session on November 19/03. We went on our first date two days later, and haven’t been apart since. We have now built a house together and are engaged! We want to thank you for making the event such an easygoing and comfortable experience; I have recommended it to many friends and family. We have a joke that we each paid $40 for 40 years and that she had me at 7 minutes!
Thanks again,
Kyle
Dear Cathy,
The 25th of August, 2004 is a very significant date in my life. I met the woman of my dreams and now six months later we are married.
In my search for my soul mate, I tried services such as Life Mates, Lava Life, Videos For Singles and a few blind dates arranged by friends. If asked by anyone to tell them of my experiences with these services, I would need a week to describe them.
After attending one session of your Speed Dating service, I came to the realization that it was by far the best service and means of meeting people. I found that Speed Dating has several distinct advantages such as; face to face meeting (no surprises), a safe/comfortable setting, confidentially and peace of mind knowing that any further contact will only be made if both parties agree at the end of the evening.
The evening, which we attended, was run so well; you could not help but to feel welcomed. Feeling at ease, not nervous and without any anticipation of your date allows you to truly show your true self and others to show their true self.
We have recommended Calgary Speed Dating to our friends and we would strongly recommend this company to anyone interested in meeting people to highly consider this approach.
Cathy, I would be happy to talk to anyone who should ask for a reference and I would be glad to call him or her by telephone or email.
Thanks again Cathy.
Bryan
Dear Cathy,
My name is Dean and I attended an event with Calgary Speed Dating on March 5, 2003. I made a match with Tara and we started dating from meeting through this event. I just wanted to say thank you for setting up this event and give you a quick update that Tara and I are now engaged as of last night. I can't thank you enough for setting up the event that I met Tara at. She is the most amazing woman I've ever met and I can't wait to marry her. We're looking at a date of May 2005 for the wedding. Thanks again and please keep up the great work.
Sincerely, Dean

Hi Cathy,
I thought I should write to give you an update on our speed dating experience. Melissa and I met on March 5 of this year [2003] and went on several dates after that. Chemistry ensued and as of November 11, we are officially engaged! We are planning to be married in July of next year. Speed dating worked great for us and thank you for providing the service.
Regards, Doug
