My experience using Rent-a-Friend via DukesofDaisy.com

DukesofDaisy Reviews

I recently had a work function related to my day job where I needed to bring a plus one to a formal dinner. As someone who keeps a small and tight circle of friends my opportunities were extremely limited in who I could invite, taking into account that I’m not actively dating anyone or looking.

I stumbled across DukesofDaisy.com, a UK-based Rent-a-Friend website that offers users the ability to book a platonic companion for various social events, such as weddings, parties, dinner dates, or movie nights. According to Dukes of Daisy’s own wesite, these companions are carefully screened, and users can choose according to gender, age, interests, location, and price.

The website is very straight forward and simple to use. As always, I took my time to thoroughly research before making a decision of which agency to use, and also to find out if dukesofdaisy.com is a scam website like so many others. Users can read the companion’s profile, view photos and videos, and even chat or talk with them before booking.

Upon digging, I was able to find a lot of positive reviews on various third party websites dating back to 2016, from satisfied clients who had enjoyed their time with the companions, and found them friendly, respectful, and felt more confident and comfortable in social situations. According to DukesofDaisy.com they have been renting out friends since 2013! So they must be doing something right!

I finally decided on 3 potential male companions that I seemed to share some common interests, and of course looked the part for my event. There are two different categories of friends available to rent – managed and independent. To book the managed companions, when you click ‘request booking’ you are prompted to email the agency. I got a very fast reply from Jessica who I found to be helpful and very professional. She explained that she was going to contact my chosen men and confirm who was available for my event.

Within an hour I had an email back from Daisy, who is the founder of the website. Only 1 of the 3 men I had chosen was available for that date. Daisy explained that in order to secure the booking I had to pay a 30% deposit with the remaining 70% being paid to my chosen companion Stuart in cash, at the start of the booking. As I’d never used this type of service before I was more than a little nervous and certainly needed some reassurance. I expressed this to Daisy who arranged a free video call with Stuart. Stuart looked exactly like his photos on the website. He was kind, courteous and eased all my fears. As it turns out, dukesofdaisy.com is a genuine website offering friends for rent! Who knew something like this could exist? In my opinion it is total genius!

Fast forward to the day of my event. Stuart and I met 30 minutes prior, so that I could brief him, just in case any of my colleagues cornered him and he got caught out.

Stuart looked exceptional in his tuxedo, and when I walked in arm in arm with him. I felt a sense of power as all eyes fixated us and how good we looked together.

Stuart was able to hold his own in all conversations, he told jokes, was attentive to my needs at all times and basically won over my colleagues. He made the night much more enjoyable than it would have been without him. Additionally, I was able to use him as an excuse to leave early! All in all, a big success.

I highly recommend dukesofdaisy.com and of course my companion Stuart. I will definitely be back to rent more friends as and when the occasion is needed.

If you have any questions that I haven’t covered in my brief Article, please comment below and I will reply when I can.

Until the next time we meet, be inspired to live your life!
