Feedback and comments from my guests...
“As a dating coach, used to attending singles events of various sizes, but nearly always the slightly impersonal atmosphere that goes with 100 ++ people, it was really refreshing to come to one of Clare’s Drinks and Mingling evenings. Held in the elegant bar of a gorgeous hotel, and with a around 40 people it seemed the ideal way to spend a Saturday night. The venue exuded class, the atmosphere was relaxed and fun and the people were a delight. With such an intimate gathering. almost everyone got to talk to everyone else and it felt more like a house party than a singles event. A great idea and a fab evening seemed to be had by all.”

''I loved the atmosphere at Meet at Last parties, its a nice relaxed way of meeting people. I met my other half at the first one I went to!''
Caroline, Twickenham
"I was pleasantly surprised how natural the experience felt - it didn't feel contrived like other 'single events' , and felt just like a good night out in a bar. People were really friendly which made it really easy to mingle and chat. Would definitely go again....."
Tracy, Hampton Court
’What I thought of the party…hmmm, honest views I take it? On the whole, I thought it was great, I liked many aspects of it. I liked the little touches such as the bags at the end of the night. There were a wide ranging group of people, at one point during the night I remember looking around and thinking as an outsider, that you’d never know this was a pre-arranged dating venue… It looked just like a regular night out….The venue was excellent, having not been there before I was impressed. I’d certainly be interested in another night out for the 25-40 group…’

"Hi Clare, Thanks for the party. Didn’t meet anyone I will be seeing again but loved the venue and thought the DJ was fantastic."
Alison
"What a most enjoyable evening on Saturday. The Montaque was a very good choice and the company was great. I think the drinks and mingling format is an ideal environment to meet new people in an informal setting. Unfortunately I did not click with anyone this time but there are many more events to attend with Meet at Last to come."
Paul
"We really enjoyed the drinks and mingle event on Saturday. The female company was fantastic and the venue could not be better, everyone I spoke to thought that the venue was a good choice. Thanks for making us feel welcome and we look foward to coming back for future events with Meet at Last."
"I always enjoyed your evenings (far more than speed dater) very much and thought they were well organised and thought out."
"Clare, just had to write and thank you for such an enjoyable evening last Saturday at 'The Montague'. It was the best evening I've had there ever and of course it was great seeing you."
"You get such a mix of people at your events and that's what makes them so interesting. You wouldn't believe the dearth of intelligent conversation out here in 'the Provinces'!"
"Hi Clare. I thought it was pretty good. Friendly bunch, which was great and better than similar events I've been to. Didn't seem as rude as things like Chemistry can be (although the guy who was blind was the exception!). Appreciated a bit of grub. I'd definitely go again. And would recommend it."
"Happy to give feedback though as I've enjoyed the parties and wish you continued success with them! My view is that they are well organised, the staff are always friendly and the venue is great. I went to a couple of the first parties and it had a certain innocence - it wasn't packed and none of the guests I met seemed that familiar with singles events. I though I had a better chance of meeting someone there than at speed dating (I'd tried that once at that stage)."
Pre Party Coaching Feedback
"Hi Clare, the coaching was a really good way to start the evening :-)"
John
"Hi Clare, we thought she was great. I certainly followed some of her suggestions and although I did not walk away with Mr Perfect it seemed to work.Feel free to pass on my details."
Lea
"The best thing for me about the coaching session on Saturday was that it was in a group before the party, it set me up well and gave me more confidence. It helped me talk and flirt with more people who I had already met at the session. Jo asked questions to each person, and it was the response from the others in the group that was most valuable for me, and Jo facilitated it very well. I went to the session for fun flirting tips, and got out of it more than that."
