“My husband and I were at the very first Jolly Good Event…it’s where we met and where our love story began. We’ve been back to others and have always had a blast. Such a fun-filled atmosphere with lovely people, music and food. So nice to see people getting behind some good old fashioned community building. Big thanks to Bonnie and Jolly Good Events – I owe you one!”

“Back in September of 2014 at The Springtime Ball I met a girl in a long red dress, who unfortunately was a Port Adelaide supporter AND dancing the foxtrot with my elder brother. However, 3 and a ½ years on…we are happily married, she is still a Port supporter (much to my disgust), but no longer dances with my brother. Who knew a charity ball, in a quaint country town would change our lives forever!!!”

“Joel and I met at the first Jolly Good Event on the 14th September 2013. I was so excited to go, not only for the good cause, but to learn a new, old-fashioned dance. Joel came up to my friend and I and asked if either of us would like to dance, so I volunteered (and being the gentleman that he is, he found someone to dance with my friend). We talked and danced all night, and then he asked me out. Ten years later we have travelled and moved all over the world, gotten married, have an amazing beautiful little boy, our dream home and a beautiful puppy. We would like to thank Bonnie for all the hard work and time that go into these events. We have loved going to them and dancing the night away! Bring on the new Jolly Good Events!”

“One September night, a farmer from the Mid North drove down to Willunga to find a love connection. A nearby teacher attended who was looking to put in effort to find the perfect man. That night, Harry met Rachel and they were a match. They continued to pursue one another, leading to many hours of driving. Today, we are happily married and are excited to welcome the arrival of our Christmas baby soon. Thank you, Bonnie, for creating a space for us to meet and love to grow!”
