Our Success

It’s Just Lunch is a fun, proactive approach to your personal life. As first date specialists, we arrange fun lunch dates and drinks after work for busy professionals. We began in a tiny office in Chicago in 1991 and have grown to over 100 offices worldwide. In summer 2004, we opened our first international locations in Singapore and Toronto. Many of our first dates lead to 2nd dates and our matchmaking is responsible for thousands of marriages. We have arranged over 2 million fun first dates in our 17 years. Each month we arrange 50,000 dates for our 30,000 members worldwide----and growing by thousands each month!—that’s a lot of lunch dates!

A Chicago woman founded It’s Just Lunch over 17 years ago after her engagement was suddenly called off. She attended her first IJL wedding after the company had been in business for just 5 months. Since then, the IJL Team has been responsible for many weddings and she still gets goose bumps when she hears about another engagement!

Clients tell us that they join It's Just Lunch in Las Vegas because it is hard to meet other quality professionals. This is understandable with 5000 people moving to Las Vegas every month and a city that caters to the tourist profession. Our clients come to us to meet other busy professional singles. We are able to introduce our clients to people they would potentially not meet on their own. Another reason we are so popular is because we have a high success rate. Many of our first dates lead to second dates.

One of our favorite and most recent success stories is about Chris and Kim. Chris signed up first. When Kim came in for her interview, we knew immediately who we were going to set her up with. It was Kim's first date and Chris's second date. They are now engaged and planning a wedding soon!
