Testimonials

"The events are fun and specific to women's interests. The best part is the women that show up at the events. The women are the kind of women I would want to be friends with and I really like that. The name "Urban Girl Squad" is really fun too!" - Jenny
"Urban Girl Squad handpicks the best events and venues for food, drinking, shopping, and beauty and presents them for my enjoyment. I always know I'll have a great time, learn something new, and see more of this amazing city with the UGS." - Colleen
"I think UGS really delivers - the events are fun, and reasonably priced. UGS gets me out of my daily routine, and enjoying the city I love but never find time/people to share it with. And, last night I was thrilled to see a bunch of good friends there, who I hadn't even expected to turn up. Fabulous!" - Anonymous

However, Urban Girl Squad has opened up a whole new world to me - of places, things to do, and wonderful people. I always have a great time at the events and feel very welcome. It's a great group to be a part of!"- Lauren
