I've seen it a few times.
I have as well. I've seen husbands and wives, individuals and young people. If you run a search, I think I answered this question about a year ago.

I cannot remember ever seeing adult baptism in a Reformed church. 
I saw several in a Baptist church I was a member of long, long ago.
In 2002 there were only 2,373 adult baptisms in an entire PCA, which was then a denomination of 311,817. To me that is very small given that the Lord said that the world is now ripe for harvest. That would not bother me a whole lot if I saw allot of evangelistic effort (Noah was a great evangelist for centuries even though nobody repented) but I see very little. It reminds me of the accompanying line "the workers are few."
BTW, I am not saying that there is no Reformed or PCA evangelism, just that in my experience and reading I have encoutered little. I do think this is a common deficiency in the Reformed world.
