Events


Our events are EXCLUSIVE, in that, they are only available to our members. We have found that holding marriage events where anyone can buy a ticket are now fruitless and we therfore have a new approach. Once you join our service we will monitor your progress and may INVITE you to one of future events. However if demand is high then we will cater for more events.

The decision on the type of event will be assessed around our members and their current needs e.g. at the end of the month we will identify a group within our members that we feel would benefit from an event. For example over 30’s event.

Once the theme of the event is decided you will be INVITED to the event. We will handpick those people who we feel are compatabile with each other. This is done so that when you attend the event almost very member within that room will match some or most of your criteria. In doing so, we hope to make your search easier and much more successful.


Can anyone attend your events?

No. Everyone attending our events are hand picked from our own private database and will recieve a personal invite to the event being held. This is so that you have a REAL chance of finding a prospective partner.

Do I have to book in advance?

Once you have been INVITED to the event you must then book early to avoid disappointment. We have a limited amount of spaces for each event and bookings in advance allows us to ensure all attendees understand the exact nature of the event. You cannot book on the day and anyone attending without a valid booking will be refused entry.

I have tried Internet matrimonial sites and been to other marriage events before. Why are you different?

Firstly, most marriage companies will let ANY eliglible muslim come to their events without making any enquiries into the attendees personal needs. We do NOT do this. Our events look at your personal needs and cater to your needs.

Secondly, the problem with the Internet, even if you go through 100’s of questions to generate a personality/character profile, it can never give you an accurate projection of someone’s true personality. We are offering you the opportunity to meet real people face to face so you can increase your chance of finding someone compatible.

What will happen at the event?

After the initial registration there will be a short introduction by the event organisers who will also explain in more detail how the event works. After this you will be split in to smaller groups (half male/half female) and you will have the opportunity to converse with each of the participants. Once you have had the opportunity to do this, the male members of the group will then move onto another group and so forth, until you have met all the prospective spouses in the room.

After you have met with everyone you will have the opportunity to arrange some further time with anyone who you felt could be compatible. You can do this by approaching one of the event organisers who will then arrange this for you.

When Can I exchange my contact details with a participant?

You can exchange your personal details with another member at the event directly or you can approach one of the SMM team who will be more then happy to help you. Once both interested parties are happy and have exchanged personal information then the Ummah Team take no responsibility for what happens afterwards.

I never exchanged details with a potential match at the event! Can you help?

Should you not manage to exchange contact information with someone at the event then we will be happy to contact the potential partner for you. Should they agree to exchanging personal contact information with you then we will be happy to do so.

Will dinner be provided?

Yes. Dinner will be provided and refreshments served throughout the event.

Is there a charge and why?

Yes. We believe the small financial commitment highlights the people who attend the event are serious about marriage and get rid of the time wasters. Furthermore we invest a lot in the events from hiring the venues to organising catering and staff so we need to ensure our costs are covered in bringing you such a high quality event.

Can I bring someone with me?

Yes. We understand you may feel nervous and anxious when attending the event and may need the moral support of a friend or family member. We therefore welcome you to bring a friend/ family member with you. Also for sisters we understand that you may want to bring a mahram with you and therefore are more then happy to allow you to do so. You may bring more then one person to accompany you. To ensure that we can adequately accommodate your requirements anyone accompanying you must be over the age of 16 and must purchase a ticket.

When can I see and speak to other participants?

You will get the opportunity to speak to participants during the main discussion part of the event. You will also have a further opportunity to speak to anyone you felt could be compatible at any time in the event.

Do I have to stay for the whole event?

No. You may leave at anytime but we recommend that you stay for the duration to gain maximum benefit and converse with as many prospective partners as possible.

I feel that I am not a practising Muslim, can I still come?

Yes. We appreciate that you may not be a practising Muslim and would thus like to ensure you the event won’t be a room full of religious people. There will be a selection of Muslims from a variety of cultures and backgrounds with the soul purpose of finding a compatible marriage partner.

Do you have a dress code?

You can wear whatever you feel comfortable with. We also ask that you dress modestly eg. nothing revealing, after all, this is a Muslim event and we should operate within the boundaries of Islam.

Can you guarantee I will meet a partner?

No. We cannot guarantee you will meet someone at the events we will do our best to assist you but as you know marriage is a serious commitment and finding a compatible partner is your ability to see the potential in someone.

Will you organise more events?

Yes.
We aim to hold regular events throughout the UK if you register your interest on the contact us page then one of our team will contact you once an event has been confirmed in your area. We will be organising specific events aimed at:

• Divorced/widowed Muslims
• Events aimed at practicing Muslims
• …And many more

Are there any childcare facilities?

No. The intention of the event is to allow people to converse with each other without any distractions. Therefore we hope you appreciate that children can cause a distraction and therefore are not permitted to attend the event.

Can I have a refund?

Once you have booked, your ticket is reserved and therefore cannot be re-sold.The ticket price covers the cost of advertising the event; hire of the venue; lunch; refreshments, and other organisational/administration costs which ‘ummah-marriage-events.co.uk’ will still have to pay, even if you choose not to attend or cancel. We are unable to offer refunds, even in the event of a change of venue or date by us, if it is our fault then we will always offer you a voucher which can be redeemed at one of our future events.

Will there be any prayer facilities at the venue?

Yes we will to our best to arrange praying facilities in the unlikely event we are unable to do so we will guide you to the nearest mosque.

What is the general etiquette for these events?

As muslims we generally tend to have good etiquette and manners. We ask you to behave in polite and considerate manner. Anybody found to be disruptive or rude will be asked to leave. Remember everyone attending the event will be their for the same purpose as you to find their potential partner.
