Across the Room (Dating Agency)

This club is for the 30 plus age group, not for early or mid twenties. The mix that attends is mainly 30s,40s,50s and some early 60s. The 30s and 40s sit together and the same for the other age groups. The joining fee is £99.00 for the social scene, the events are priced seperately, around £16 for party nights and £45 for Black Tie balls, walks are free of charge. You should not judge this organisation on your first event as all of the events are totally different. I felt really nervous on my first event and the members were mainly in their late to early 40s. I am 55 so I was really looking for someone more in my age group, who I found on my second event. If ...  Read the complete review

Across the Room has really been a life saver for me after I split with my partner after six years. I had imagined the grass would be greener as a singleton and that gorgeous men would be falling at my feet, taking me out to exciting, glamorous places - and that I would have a choice of many new partners! Things did not go quite to plan, as I found it very difficult to find the right places to go. At 39 the night clubs were too young and to be surrounded by so many younger girls just made me feel ancient! A work colleague told me that she had joined a fantastic singles events club and that she was having a ball! The next day I rang for an info pack and the rest ...  Read the complete review

My experience was in total contrast to the marketing literature for Across the Room... the so called caring... 'we are with you every step of the way' approach.... The organisers failed to mention that I would be dining with people in a totally different age group to mine. Really not the evening I had imagined. I would suggest that anyone interested in joining delve deeper and meet the organisers and ask questions! I haven't even had acknowledgement of my complaint!

Hi I'm Lynne! 38 with 1 little boy and I live in Essex. I feel too old for night clubs, so a couple of freinds recommended ATR. The social scene was a life time membership for £95.00 it suited me as I love dancing and socialising. I drove to Suffolk to Head Office as I wanted to meet the girls as they also attend the events. They are all very freindly and it was good to see them again at Stock Brook my first event! It was lovely to have the opportunity to dress up and go to such a lovely place I had been to Stock Brook before to my freinds wedding. We had reception drinks and then a 3 course meal and dancing until 1pm. I had a wonderful night and met many new friends and ...  Read the complete review

My life fell apart when I lost my husband with a sudden illness. I really did not know where to begin again, but after 3 years of lonliness I decided to try to start again. My job kept me busy and at just 39 I felt that I still had a lot of love to share with someone. There was a T.V commercial for Across the Room and I called the office. The girls were very freindly and sent me an info pack which I recieved promptly the next day. The Social Scene cost £95.00 and the Dating was around £395.00. The events are very good value for money by todays standards, mostly 4 and 5 star Hotels and the food is what you would expect in English Hotels catering for large numbers. ...  Read the complete review
