What Our Members Are Saying…

Thank you for the very nice mix of people you set up, I had a great time! I enjoyed meeting everyone at the table and hope to meet any, or all of them again at one of your future functions. It was one of the nicest evenings I have had in a long time. I can’t believe why any guy wouldn’t want do this! By the way, the whole group ended up going to a wine bar afterwards, I got home at midnight with a 5:00 am conference call the next day, it was worth it to give up a few hours of sleep!

Table for Eight came highly recommended by a friend. I attended two dinners and at the second one, I met Beth. We’ll be married in March. Table for Eight is the best introduction service ever conceived. Whether or not one meets someone they’d like to date or marry attending a dinner assures one an evening of engaging conversation and an enjoyable meal.

I was urged to join Table for Eight based on a newspaper article in the Detroit Free Press… Some hesitation was present, however I am very glad I joined. My initial reason for joining was to get out and meet new people, however, I had hopes that I could possibly meet a woman to date but figuring if nothing else I’ll make more contacts and have fun at the events. Well, something happened on the last arranged dinner….third time is the charm, Right?! Don’t ask me how or why, but something just clicked with this beautifully charming woman and we have been dating seriously since. This is what being really happy is all about! Cheers to you and your colleagues. Thanks for helping along the “Alignment of the Stars”!

Mark S.

Hello ladies! Just wanted to let you know it’s now officially official…as of last Wednesday, Mark and I are engaged! I don’t know if we’re the first Table for Eight Detroit engagement….but we couldn’t be happier, or more thankful that fate was on our side and we had the good fortune to meet through you all! Thanks again, and best wishes!

Regina, Megan and Toby, I just wanted to say that I had a great time at the golf outing. I was impressed with the way everything was so organized and how well the night went. When I arrived at the check-in point everyone had a smile on their face and was very friendly. I have to say that I met a lot of very nice people. I have tried to meet new people in the past with other organizations and Table for Eight is far more superior. When the night was over I said to myself, “I wish I would have found out about this place sooner.” I thank all of you and KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!

Mike M.

Regina, Toby, and everyone else, I want to thank you for continuing to send me information regarding your upcoming events. I do appreciate it. I wanted to let you know that because of your dinner service I have met someone very special. Two weeks ago I got engaged. You know the woman as she was part of your program. Her name is Barbara and we are quite excited….So I thank you for your outstanding work and for the effort I know that it takes you to run your business. I recommend your service to all of my single friends.

I just wanted to drop you a quick note to let you know that thanks to Table for Eight, I met my future husband! Last November I was seated at a table where I met the most wonderful guy. Neither one of us had been to a Table for Eight event before so we didn’t know what to expect. After the dinner, we had drinks at 220 and the rest as they say, is history! Jon proposed to me Saturday, December 21st. We are getting married in January……We know that we were lucky to meet each other. I hope other people are as lucky with Table for Eight! Thanks for everything!

Michelle L.

I just went to my dinner in Novi last week. I wanted to thank you personally for your work in putting the dinner party together. The group really did have a great time and several of us have already begun to connect after the dinner. It was well worth the wait for such a nice table of people. I hope my next table will be as much fun!

Diane B.

I was very pleased with the choice of Joe Muer’s for dinner. The restaurant has a nice intimate feel, and is very conducive to conversation. Both the food and service were excellent. I enjoyed the company of the people at the table, and I surprisingly met a guy from my old high school who graduated 3 years after me, as well as made several new friends. Overall, I had a great time.

Dale K.

I just wanted to write and say that I very much enjoyed my first table for eight last night. We had a great time, and I look forward to more dinners! Cheers!

Will P.

Gifted, articulate, attractive and aware…these words describe many of the women who take part in Table for Eight activities. Table for Eight brings so many bright and interesting women to each of its events that one wonders where they’ve all been hiding!

Roger K.

Table for Eight is a great way to meet and converse with well-rounded, well-traveled, professional people in an unhurried, everyday atmosphere. Everything about last night was great. The food, the atmosphere, the people…all made for a fun evening. The attendees, men and women, were nice, educated and professional…just what I was looking for in a social club.

Ed B.

I had a really fabulous time at dinner with good food, good people and good conversation. I would definitely recommend it and do it again.

Heidi M.

I wanted to tell you that I had a great time last Friday night. I’m of the age that I have tried everything from personal ads, tried video dating, It’s Just Lunch and online dating, however I found this to be the best yet. You have a fantastic business and you do a wonderful job matching people. Thank you for such a nice evening with such pleasant conversation.

Gail W.

I am pleased to tell you that I met a very nice woman at the last Table for Eight in Brookline I attended. We have been going out regularly for the past couple of months and it is going along quite well. Thank you for your service, it is much appreciated.

Nick P.

The Table for Eight dinner in Cambridge was, in my opinion, a total success. It was a most relaxed and fun evening, probably because each one of us was genuinely interested in learning about each other. There was no tension and no competition and that’s probably why we did so much laughing. They were all very nice people and we all exchanged phone numbers and will probably get together again. Thank you for doing such a good job in matching personalities. Keep my name on your list of participants.

Sue A.

That was a wonderful meeting in Waltham on Sunday. All eight of us had a very good time, the food was excellent, and the restaurant gave us probably the best seating in their dining room. The people were very pleasant and interesting. I found one woman to be very attractive and very nice. I asked her out and she agreed, so we will be going dancing next weekend. Thank you very much.

Jim F.

Just wanted to let you know that I had a great time Friday night at the dinner in Waltham. I never would have thought having dinner with 7 strangers would be so fun! I feel like we’re all really good friends now, after spending only 3 1/2 hours together. And, who knows if any of us will keep in touch, but the experience was completely worthwhile, and I will recommend you to all my friends. Thanks for ‘hosting’.
