Featured on Date Spark

If you are reading this, your place is in our guide to date ideas in Vancouver and Victoria. We picked it because it makes for a good date. Nobody paid, nobody asked, and you don't have to do anything to stay listed.

If you'd like to show it off, the badge is free. It's also completely optional. Your listing is not a hostage.

What being featured means

We chose you on research alone: We look at what makes a good date: the room, the value, how easy it is to get to, and whether you are reliably open when people show up. That research is the only way onto Date Spark.
Nobody pays, now or later: Inclusion is never sold, and it never depends on a link, a post or this badge. Use the badge or ignore it. Your page stays exactly as it is either way.
Your real prices, from your own site: A checked price on your page comes from your own menu or website, with the month we looked. Some pages still carry our researched estimate; we're converting those to checked prices one venue at a time, and yours jumps the queue if you tell us it's off.
No scores on the badge: The badge says you are featured, nothing more. No rating, no rank, no stars. Those numbers move, and the badge will sit on your site for years.
The year updates itself: The badge shows the year. Use the embed code below and it changes over every January with no work from you. Downloaded files keep the year you saved.
Want off the list? Just ask: Email hello@datespark.ca from your venue's address and we'll take your page down. No questions, no hard feelings, no retention offer.
