I joined Events & Adventures after a few unsuccessful relationships. Dating apps did not appeal to me, and honestly I just wanted to get out of the house with a group of friends. I am in my 40's and having a large group of friends to have fun with is unheard of. So, I decided to give E&A a try. To my surprise, I made a few good friends my first night and that group has continued to grow exponentially. To top it off (without even trying) I met my fiancé. It was so easy. With the way E&A is set up, you automatically find people (to date or just hang out with) without even trying. Thank you E&A for saving me from my boring life and setting me up for an amazing future with my soon-to-be husband!!!! read more

Events & Adventures - Social Clubs Near Me - Houston, Texas

It's completely wasted of time if you want to find someone to date. Most of the people in the club are old, ugly, and divorced. If you like to settle with loser go ahead and join. You are better if you find a chick at a bar. read more

Total scam! The "events" are simply free activities going on in Houston. They hard pressure you to buy a membership for thousands of dollars and then you will never hear from then again unless you miss a payment! Check the reviews online, the only positive ones are from their own employees smh read more

Save your money and just join a free group on Facebook or Meetup.com. This company is a complete rip-off and should be avoided. I signed up with Events and Adventures expecting a fun, exclusive club for young professionals, but what I got was nothing short of a nightmare. They lure you in with promises of unique events and networking opportunities, but it's all lies. Every event they advertise as 'exclusive' is just a public event you could attend for free on your own. They act like they're organizing something special when really, they're just repackaging what's already happening around the city. The worst part? They trap you in a ridiculous contract that's impossible to get out of, with hidden fees and costs that they don't tell you about upfront. They'll pressure you with sales tactics, and once you're locked in, there's no way out that won't cost you A LOT. When I tried to cancel after realizing what a scam it was, they were not sympathetic or even concerned about my dissatisfaction and wanted me to pay a massive cancellation fee. Their customer service is truly atrocious. Rude, condescending, and completely unhelpful--they acted like I was the problem for expecting what they advertised. I'm furious that I fell for this and wasted my money. This company is nothing but a money-grabbing scam, and I regret every penny spent. Please don't make the same mistake I did. read more

People are so friendly, accepting, and fun to be with! Always new activities to go to every month! You get out of it what you put into it. Worth the time and investment! read more

There are a ton of events each month to choose from. I met a great group of girlfriends through E&A and we've recent started traveling together even outside of E&A official events. read more

The people interviewing me were not honest about the events. I was brought into a contract without explanation or being allowed to attend an event. When I did attend an event, the host was not friendly. Now I am having to bring the contract to an attorney to get out of their program. Trust me, this is NOT what they tell you it will be. Figured out quickly that this is a scam more than an "adventure" read more

I love this group! There is something fun planned literally every day and I have now been to lots of new places in Houston even though I've lived here for over 20 years. The people are super fun and I've made some lifelong friends. Highly recommend! read more

I went to one event 5 years ago and they want 2000 dollars and have sent me to collections since I won't pay that much for a backyard BBQ that I spent an hour and a half at. Beware it is a scam. read more

7/21/21 - I disagree with their policies. I should have the right to cancel after 6 days of signing and have not gone to an Event. Events & Adventures Houston location is FORCING me to join & be a member. I'm no longer interested in a company that lack Intergity! The Sales Rep didn't inform or alluded to the 3 day cancelation policy. Dirty. Most Replicable Businesses charge a cancelation fee but not a 2 year obligation. I'm willing to compromise. They Won't Hear Me. I Want OUT. What can I do? make_me_like_daivid@yahoo.com read more

What I enjoy so much about Events & Adventures is I can feel confident that the people around me and in my environment actually 'chose' to be there! There's nothing fun about being obligated/expected to attend certain functions or stuck on a blind date I hate!? I also don't have to worry about crossing social boundaries with men who might be married but not want me to know about it.? What a relief! Lastly, I love the freedom and enjoyment I can have around men w/out feeling obligated to be 'the bad guy' and say so if I'm not diggin' it, woohoooooo!!! It changes the whole social/mingling paradigm! I can be me. Thanks E&A! read more

Events & Adventures - Social Clubs Near Me - Houston, Texas

If you are lonely or want to get out - it's a definitely cool place to join - events almost every day. Some events are super cool - horse riding, clay shooting, axes throwing you name it. I tried a lot of things that I never had company to do. Also a lot of socials, get together and parties. read more

Great way to meet new people! And, in my case, instead of sitting at home, a fun way to spend evenings with amazing people! I joined in March 2021 and have really enjoyed being a member. I go to sand volleyball most Tuesday nights and have made some wonderful friendships. E&A also has international trips!!!! I recently went to Spain and Portugal with 29 other members from E&A groups all over the US. We had a blast! Everything was planned for us, all we had to do was show up. Already planning my next trip!!! read more

a good/safe place to meet new people, and try different places to eat or hang out. I've met some amazing people who have become friends for life. read more

Joining E&A has allowed me to take and enjoy adventures that I didn't want to do alone. I have had so much fun in the events I've signed up for and I've met some amazing people along the way. read more

Still mad about the $3,000.00 I lost to this scam. I joined when they first E&A company came to Houston about 20 years ago. I can't believe they are still in business. read more

I'm so excited to get started with events and adventures. I've delayed doing this as it's been a process for me to prioritize myself. There are so many opportunities to meet people who have similar interests with events and adventures. I hope to build lasting, healthy connections with others in this new setting. read more

Do not recommend. I had an "interview" with them to see if i was a good fit for the group. They ask questions about what I do and how much i make. She asked me "what would make you a good member?" As if I, a paying customer, should prove why I am good enough to give them money. The high-pressure salesperson gave me a brief overview of their offerings and then told me how much it cost. You're looking at 2400-4750 for memberships ranging from a year to lifetime. There was a sale for $500 off if I signed up and paid right then. I told her I do not shell out thousands of dollars on a whim and asked for time to consider the options. This salesperson told me, "If you have to think about it, maybe you aren't a good fit for this group. We are for people who jump in with both feet. We are doers." That just about pissed me off and I said goodbye. She started out telling me how exclusive the group was and how great a fit I would be. When I decided not to pay her a couple thousand dollars on the spot, she decided I wasn't cool anymore. I will trash this group to anyone who asks me about it. They just want to make a sale. I hear there are a bunch of hidden fees for the events. read more

Rip-off and supposedly no way to get out of the contract once you sign up- EVEN if you NEVER sign-up or participate in any event. Most of their events are not in my immediate area and quite the drive, so it was pointless for me to even consider...That's ok, I will fight this! They try to use the "interview" process to make it seem elite..." but how many people do you think they have turned away because of a bad interview? I would be interested in finding out... They claim to only allow "the cream of the crop" join but I've seen otherwise. Just saw the evidence where they were paying people for positive reviews! Case in point...shady and deceitful. I'm not above contacting Consumer Protection/FTC. read more

I have been to I think 3 events, and I love it so far. I have met some really cool people; the events are fun, but that could be because you have the ability and flexibility to choose the events you attend. Everyone is pretty much in the same spot, as far as wanting to meet new people, so it takes away that "first meet" awkardness that so many people are afraid of. In addition, there are some events that I (and you) have (or will) chose(n) to do that I/you would not have thought of doing on my own. I recommend this business to anyone who might be new to the area, or just has a hard time making friends or meeting new people. read more

I lost my father due to Covid-19, lost my job and can't go anywhere because of the pandemic. And they have the nerve to report me to the credit bureau. Talking about they started an online social event. Hell, I didn't sign up for online socializing. Facebook and Instagram is cheaper. I'm only giving a one star because I don't have the option to give none. I lost my dad and my credit score in 2020. read more

I was on the fence when I heard all the radio ads, but I didn't know anyone here in Houston other than coworkers. I joined at the end of April and went to their awesome cinco de mayo party, and ended up making life long friends. The people in the group come from all sorts of backgrounds but are all in the same boat, wanting to get out and enjoy life. I've done more things in the last six months than I have the whole 3.5 years I've lived in Houston.I've made great friends, and meet new people at every event, they also have a wide variety of events so there's always something that you can do, or be adventurous and try something crazy! read more

If they could get a zero, I would give it, but yelp doesn't let you put zero. You get caught up in the hype when you go there, because they make it seem so fun. You know they are slimy when your friend is with you and they say only one person can come in at a time. (That handles anybody else hearing what they say) Regardless, my physician friend wouldn't hear of that and came in anyway. When we asked about events for people over 40, they said they have 3 - 4 a month, called Premier Events. My physician friend didn't sign up after the presentation, but I did. I went to three events, one crawfish boil, and two club events. Both were in Mid Town, and were for 20 year olds. I started watching the calendar, and for two months they had 0 Premier Events. The third month they had one in Clear Lake, 88 miles from my house. I knew then they had lied to get me to sign. When I called and tried to get out of the contract, they said I was liable for the total amount. DO NOT SIGN UP HERE UNLESS YOU HAVE A COUPLE THOUSAND TO THROW AWAY, OR UNLESS YOU ARE IN YOUR 20's. Most of the positive comments come from the staff. read more

This is a SCAM. They will tell you whatever it takes to get $3,000+ out of you. Hidden fees abound. The entire thing is joke. If you close your account they will tell you that you don't need to do anything else and will send your information off to a collections agency for an extra $3,000 on top of that. Their events are crap, overly expensive (easily rising to well over a $100 on top of your membership fees. read more

Joining events and adventures was the best choice that i have made. Throughout being with them i have met so many awesome people and had some of the best times of my life. Not to mention the amazing team of employees that they have ! I highly recommend ! read more

Such a great way to make friends and travel internationally. Trips are planned very well so there's nothing for you to worry about - just enjoy the trip! read more

This is a fantastic group regardless if you are new to the city or born and raised here like myself. I have met over 100 new people and have made some life long friends. There is something to do everyday! I would recommend this to any single who wants to get out of the house, experience new things and meet new friends! read more

Great place to be if you're a busy person who does not like to do all the planning and sit and wait for your friends to flake out. I have so many friends who will not so outdoors events..won't do this...won't do that. You meet the people with the same interests who are looking for fun and the possibility of quality people to date with REAL careers. Saying you're in Oil and Gas and you actually pump gas for Shell isn't the same. The members are interesting and the opposite of boring! read more

Events & Adventures - E & A Event on Mother's Day 2016. All female line up (including me) at The Joke Joint Comedy Club. - Social Clubs Near Me - Houston, Texas

This is a great way to meet new people in a new city and its also a great way to see things around the city that you may have never known about touring on your own. I've been in Houston for 5 years and I have just found out during a Double decker bus tour event that there is underground shopping in Downtown Houston. As a member of E&A for 2.5 years, I have done various things from meet and greets and painting events to camping and Hang gliding events. Anything you can think of doing around the city they have an event for. Also as a member, I have made many friends from different backgrounds that I would have never meet if I never joined E&A. The only complaint that I would have with E&A would be the initial membership rate and the additional monthly fees for being a member. It is a little over the top considering that some of the events that you may be interested in trying, such as sky diving or a boat cruise you will have to pay out of pocket for. That is not a plus. If you can afford to join this club, I would strongly suggest that you join. There are more advantages than there are disadvantages to joining this club. read more

They trap you in a contract, and then they show how much they don't care about customer service. This isn't just true here in Houston, but also in other cities where they have a presence--read the reviews in other cities. I noticed too that "Danielle M" and other people that have emailed me from this company after not caring about taking my money with no way out are upvoting positive reviews. Yelp....it is okay for a company to respond to a review....it is not fair customer guidance to allow a company to upvote and leave reviews. Is that the kind of misinformation you want customers to have?? read more

I would give them zero !!!! When I sign up I told them I wasn't sure if this was my thing but I wanted to try anyways, they said no problem you can always get out when you want. I sign up for 6 months and when I called to cancel they said it was okay I just need to pay the contract! Obviously I refuse that is not what they told me when I signed up. Now three years later a collection agency called and now I have $1,645 in my credit and I had excellent credit. Thanks to them I was refuse a credit I needed for something important. Thanks for ruining my credit I still refuse to pay something I didn't use!!! Because you pay a monthly fee and doesn't include anything you end up paying more at all the events you go! So it's pointless I meet my husband in match and cheaper!!! read more

Game night at E&A was awesome! They had pretty much any game you could think of. Everyone was so welcoming and friendly, they made you feel right at home. It was a great diverse bunch of folks and the laughs were plenty. I can't wait for the next one! read more

This group is a great way to meet people from all different walks of life with a good mix of events that appeal to different interests. Many other reviews hit the high points pretty well! I joined to get out of my comfort zone and to recenter my work/life balance better. It has the potential to be a great club, but it all depends on your input. In three months, I haven't been to an event I didn't like yet! read more

Love the club. Been a member for six months and they still find fun and new events for us to do. Was a little hesitant at first but it gets me out of the routine of going to work then back home the repeat again while also meeting new people. read more

This membership has worked out great for me and I highly recommend it. I've really enjoyed the excursions around town. I especially enjoyed the trips. I believe the trips are a very good bargain. The members range from all ages that are 21 years and up. I am a working professional that doesn't have a lot of time to schedule activities in this club membership has been great for me. read more

I like being able to do fun things without always feeling like I have to gather a whole group together. I know there were always be other singles to mingle with when I go!

Joined recently and the events are pretty dope. People are fun and it's always something new. It's cool having it all planned out after working full time, def recommend to new residents! read more

I find it funny that mark the ceo says he reads every comment on yelp, but out of all the reviews he replies to the only positive one . Well if you sir are a stand up guy that runs a reputable business then why only to respond to a postive review ? and why is it that every negitive comment on here was because it's misleading when people don't even know there is a cost and get a high pressure sales pitch then suddently pull out prices in the thousands to join . That's a scam and that's why your company has such a horrible reputation what us worse you can't even get a refund unless it's within three days and a hand written letter what a scam glad I didn't fall for it read more

Love this place!!! It's such a great way to meet new people instead of the worry of doing so on an app. Such a fun environment without the hassle of trying to find places to meet like minded people. Also, everyone is so nice and welcoming at the office. read more
