About Us

Founded in 2001, A Table For Six was built by Margaret Newitt when she realised that many singles were disappointed by dating sites.

They found speed-dating shallow, and dating sites rife with fake profiles and bad behaviour.

Singles reported that their married friends were often occupied on weekends and they found themselves with spare time, but no one to share it with.

Singles wanted better opportunities to create new connections for friendship, companionship and love.

Recognising the need for a more authentic way for singles to meet, Margaret began bringing together tables of six — 3 men and 3 women — for shared meals, fun, conversation and connection at carefully selected restaurants. Members loved it!

A Table For Six became a trusted way for singles to meet others and experience enjoyable evenings out.

Its popularity expanded from Brisbane to the Sunshine Coast, Gold Coast, Sydney, Melbourne, and Canberra.

A Table for Six has been successfully introducing singles for over 20 years. Feedback from members shares personal stories that are filled with joy, fun and connection.

“Thank you! I had a really lovely evening. The food was excellent and the restaurant was a good choice. We were the last to leave! 3 hours of dinner and conversation!”

“The guests were all easy company and the conversation was relaxed with lots of laughs. Thank you for organising such a memorable evening.”

“I really appreciated the invitation to dinner. Turns out, I am one of your success stories. I met (female member) through a Table for Six event back in March and we’ve been dating ever since. Couldn’t be happier!”

In 2024, Margaret handed over the reins to Dee Timms and Jeff Bonnes. Dee and Jeff share the same purpose and passion for bringing people together for authentic connections. They’re looking forward to carrying on Margaret’s mission and offering fabulous experiences and opportunities for singles through A Table For Six.
