Summary: Lara and Joel chat with Claudia Habib, a professional event planner and wedding planner about her experience organizing speed dating and similar events here in Halifax.

Like much of the east coast here in North America we’ve been in the middle of a series of storms. Lara got soaked on her way to an early morning meeting, while Joel slept through it. Ha! And we have a special guest, Claudia, who is an event planner in Halifax. In the past Claudia was involved in organizing speed dating events locally, so we talk about how those went in the past, some of the obstacles and some of the good points. How can you get a balanced gender ration? What’s the best day of the week or time of day? What’s the right price point for an event, and how can you get people to commit so that you know how many people to plan for? Is there a season that’s better than others for speed dating events? If you have any ideas for how these kind of events can be successful, let us know! Claudia has some great experience behind her as an event planner, and she specialises in weddings so if you have any special events coming up in your life, feel free to follow her business on Twitter as @SimplyWeddNS or check out her website, Simply Weddings. NEXT EPISODE - Valentine’s Day! Our next episode will be in a couple of weeks. We’re planning to talk about Valentine’s day experiences, so send us stories! The good, the bad, the never-again-to-be-mentioned (except on the podcast, we can keep it anonymous!!) How would you describe the perfect Valentine’s date? Do you prefer to celebrate by burning your ex in effigy? Dish!! You can write us, find us on Twitter (@ddpodcast, @joelduggan,@larakillian), send us an mp3 voicemail, all the traditional stuff.
