What a fantastic Love Surgery party last week; a huge thank you to The Playboy Club for hosting us and to Cosmo Landesman & Dolly Alderton for pulling out all the stops and putting on a very glamorous, fun and informative chat show. House of Elrick’s swanky gin cocktails got the atmosphere going, introducing a new Gin to our enthusiasts. One to one advice was shared by our resident love experts in the form of Date Coach Ané Auret and a throng of Matchmakers from posh agency The Vida Consultancy. The goodie bags disappeared in minutes stuffed with Chocolate’s from Artisan du Chocolat, a must have Champagne offer from Franco’s Restaurant, a copy of the new magazine on the block; The Amorist and the best bed side table book Icons by Coco de Mer.

Join former Sunday Times It’s a Date columnists Cosmo Landesman & Dolly Alderton for a sit down treat of hilarious and edifying chitchat on all things dating, where we can share our most amusing or outrageous dating tips, disasters and nightmares.
Twice married, currently divorced Cosmo,62, has five failed proposals behind him and a lifetime of anecdotes and life lessons, while his blonde, short-skirted sparring partner Dolly, 27, already has a rich history of liaisons under her (suspender?) belt.
Their great on-page chemistry translates brilliantly in the flesh, making the Love Surgery a must for daters. Watch the movie from our last event. Film stars – I’m sorry, but we won’t be filming this years event.

Once upon a time at an event long long ago…actually it was a Thomas Dakin Gin tasting at Bar 20 to be exact. One of our guests remarked that a certain Rendezvous guest the dapper Jonathan should start his own Instagram account, and thus The Dapper Cad was born.
Zip forward a year and Jonathan is more dapper than ever and we’re delighted to have him co-hosting an event designed to get our Rendezvous men Suiting us all Sir.
Upmarket Dutch Tailoring company Suitsupply are our hosts, they create the sort of pieces that should be in every man’s wardrobe – smart enough, trendy enough and definitely dapper enough. And the price is ridiculously reasonable for a tailored product.
Jonathan will be choosing six of our Rendezvous guests to have a style make over. Yes sir, no sir, definitely suits you sir.
If you are a man who would like to take part or you have a male friend who you’d like to nominate to take part, please email us on Barbara@rendezvous-london.com

Weds 14th December. 68 Kinnerton Street. Knightsbridge. London SW1X 8ER
Rendezvous Club members mingled with The Golden Network members for a sparkling evening of champagne, diamonds and art in a gorgeous photographer’s studio.
Our glasses were kept charged with Colcombet champagne Introduced by the charming Henri Colcombet this boutique brand’s owner. This beautiful champagne is available from the Mayfair wine emporium Hedonism. Our non-fizz drinkers were kept happy with plentiful wine choices. Bancroft wines Sophie Maclean shared her wine knowledge with us and introduced the superb Bouchon vineyard wines….a whole smooth drinkable choice for every palate.
Parisian designer Edeenne brought together her stunning creations by telling each designs individual story. As well as being captivated by her fun and inspiring story we tried on the sparkles and hoped that one would be under our tree in a few days’ time! Santa baby leave one under the tree, for me.
What a privilege to be in Andrea Hamilton’s artist studio in Knightsbridge, a must visit for anyone looking for Christmas Art The Blue Edition is perfect, curated by our talented friend Nico Kos Earle. Nico introduced the show helping us to discover works exclusively for the show around the concept of blue, created by ten major female artists – exploring the infinite variations of blue across a wide range of media
We loved mingling with our members sipping Champagne, fine wine, admiring jewels, beautiful inspiring people and art…..nothing to be blue about in that mix.

Have you ever wanted to be part of the buzz, thrill and glamour of a Casino but always been a bit terrified at what you’re supposed to do once you get there?
Or are you a seasoned Gambler, think James Caan in 1974’s The Gambler. His cool but seedy character Axel Freed couldn’t help being the star of the show. He gambled and drank too much… but still got the girl….Remember Lauren Hutton in all her 1970s hot-stuff glory.
Whichever part you want to play….The Show-Off or The Learn-Some-New-Stuff….we’ve got the perfect party back drop for you. We have our private room until 10pm at which time you’re free to take your new casino-confidence skills and head into the main casino. Scaredy-cat who?
Bring a friend or a group of friends and join us for a night to remember.
Ticket price includes; welcome glass of bubbles, canapes, a private room (and private entrance) Roulette & Dice tutorials and team games….and a Tarot card reader!

Hotel Chocolat. Cocoa Vaults 4 Monmouth Street, London, WC2H 9HB
We’ve discovered a gem of a venue… a chocolate vault in the heart of buzzy Covent Garden. Using a little persuasion we have the vault to ourselves on Tuesday 11th October. Come along to this private Rendezvous event and enjoy a welcome glass of Prosecco. We’ll be serving some taste-bud-challenging and chocolate-infused canapés prepared by specialist chefs in their restaurant Rabot 1745 in Borough Market.
Let’s bring out the Casanova in us all. The legendary lover, touted chocolate for its ability to provide energy and he understood the allure of creamy, dark chocolate on craving-prone women. Chocolate can turn on the pleasure sensors in the brain, the great lothario declared dark chocolate’s sweet, complex and sensual pleasure among the world’s finest aphrodisiacs, second only to Champagne.
Perfect we have prosecco and pralines…. mingling a room full of singles.
Tickets already selling fast so sign up and bring along a friend to share a chocolate experience.
Ticket price includes a glass of Prosecco, chocolate canapés and an intimate room full of eligible guests.
