About Tablemates
Melbourne has a myriad of choices for
discerning singles. There are Dinner Clubs,
Introduction Agencies, Activities Clubs
and Speed or Online dating for the brave.
A very successful and most affordable
option is the Dinner Club where members
dine out in groups of six, three men and
three women at Melbourne’s restaurants.
At Tablemates we are
a specialist Dinner Club and our record
speaks for itself. Since commencing business
in 1994 over 200 people are currently
in long-term relationships through our
service. Many of them are now married
and some have children. Overall, about
one in eight of our members will find
a partner through Tablemates. Along the
way, many of our members have also extended
their network of friends.
Attention to detail
and an overall pursuit of high quality
form the backbone of our operation. We
pride ourselves on being Melbourne’s
Premier Dinner Club by creating ongoing
value for our members.
People who join Tablemates
are often time-poor and concerned about
how they spend their leisure time and
with whom. At Tablemates we understand
this and as such recognise that there
is much more to running a Dinner Club
than solely matching people according
to their age group and availability.
We work differently
to other Dinner Clubs. Firstly, we meet
you personally to establish your needs.
Secondly, we ask for your availability
and then choose an appropriate group and
restaurant and thirdly, we hear back directly
from over 95% of diners after the evenings.
As a result we know
exactly who is enjoying whose company
which allows us to fine-tune the next
dinner for you.
Our members are committed
to Tablemates, which means for you that
99% of diners turn up on the evening.
In case something unforeseen happens our
members will inform us and we can find
a replacement even at short notice to
ensure a high quality dinner nonetheless.
As a result
over one third of our members join Tablemates
through word of mouth.
With over 12 years
of experience and a well-established membership
we feel confident we can accommodate your
needs.
If our service sounds
like something you would wish to try we
would like to hear from you, either by
phone on 03-9885 8859, by email brian@tablemates.com
