Membership

We take on members we can do well by.

April isn't a booking app you sign into at midnight. It's a small membership we manage by hand — which means we meet people first, and we don't accept everyone.

Two reasons we run it this way. First, matching company to an occasion is judgement, not a search filter — it works far better when we actually know who we're placing. Second, a verified, vetted membership is what keeps the whole thing safe and unremarkable: members can relax because everyone has been checked, and our companions can relax for the same reason. Keeping numbers deliberately modest is the price of doing both properly.

This is a fit if you
  • Are over 30 and would simply rather not attend certain events alone.
  • Want good company for the evening, full stop — not a date, not a relationship.
  • Value being able to ask for the same companion again once you've found a good match.
  • Prefer a vetted, managed arrangement to taking your chances on an app.
It isn't, if you
  • Are looking for intimacy, romance or anything sexual. We're the wrong service, and we'll say so.
  • Won't verify who you are. Verification isn't optional here.
  • Want someone tonight, off the back of one message.
  • See the boundaries as a starting position to negotiate from.

How we review you.

1

You apply

A short written application. It tells us who you are and what you'd use April for.

2

We verify

Photo ID and address, confirmed before anything else happens.

3

We talk

A brief call where it helps — usually it does.

4

We decide

If it's a fit, you're in. If it isn't, we'll tell you kindly.

What it costs

We're not the cheap option, and that's deliberate.


There's an application fee that covers verification and the time it takes to review you properly. On approval, there's a one-off joining fee. After that, you pay per booking — priced by the type of event and how long it runs, always agreed and settled before the evening, never in cash.

We confirm exact figures privately during your application, once we understand what you're likely to book. If a transparent, modest, paid-in-advance structure feels right to you, it's a sign we'll get on.

Once you're a member

What we ask in return.

  • Treat companions as you would any respected guest.
  • Keep bookings to public venues, and to the time agreed.
  • Give us reasonable notice — more for weddings and busy dates.
  • Settle fees in advance, by the methods we use.

Members who treat the arrangement well tend to find it becomes one of the easier things in their diary.

Read this far and still nodding?

That tends to be a good sign. The application takes a few minutes, and it comes to us — no one else.
