Matchmaking Services & Costs

​

1. How much does a matchmaker cost in Los Angeles?

The cost of professional matchmaking in Los Angeles varies depending on the level of personalization, number of introductions, and services included.

At Matchmakers In The City, our personalized Priority Matchmaking Memberships begin at $20,000, with the average membership ranging from $35,000 to $55,000. Our most exclusive luxury matchmaking memberships can reach $125,000, depending on the individual client's needs, preferences, and search criteria.

All membership options, pricing, and services are thoroughly explained during your Personal Matchmaker Meeting, also known as a consultation.

Our consultations begin at $200, which also covers the cost of our one-year Basic Membership and entry into our private matchmaking database should you choose that option.

To be considered for a consultation, interested singles must first complete our free, confidential application online. As a boutique matchmaking firm, we currently have a waitlist and operate on a rolling admissions basis. Our team reviews applications and reaches out to selected applicants as availability permits.

 

2. Is hiring a professional matchmaker worth it?

For successful, busy professionals who value their time, privacy, and meaningful relationships, hiring a professional matchmaker can be a worthwhile investment.

Rather than spending countless hours swiping through dating apps and going on disappointing first dates, working with an experienced matchmaker provides personalized introductions, compatibility screening, and professional guidance.

Our luxury matchmaking experience is designed for individuals who are serious about finding lasting love.

 

3. Is it free to join Matchmakers In The City?

Applying for membership with Matchmakers In The City is completely free and confidential. However, becoming a member involves a membership fee.

Our Basic Membership is $200 for one year and provides eligible singles with the opportunity to be considered for introductions to our Priority Members through our private matchmaking database.

Basic Membership is a passive membership, meaning introductions and dates are not guaranteed.

For singles who would like a more personalized experience but aren't quite ready to invest in a Priority Matchmaking Membership, we recommend upgrading to a Personal Matchmaker Interview for an additional $250.

This provides the opportunity to meet one-on-one with one of our professional Matchmakers beyond your initial consultation, allowing us to learn more about you, your personality, your dating history, and what you're seeking in a partner.

For those seeking a more comprehensive, hands-on matchmaking experience, we offer Priority Matchmaking Memberships at higher price points.

 

4. How do I choose the best matchmaker in Los Angeles?

When choosing a Los Angeles matchmaker, consider the company's experience, screening process, matchmaking philosophy, client demographics, pricing, and level of personalized service.

We believe that finding the right matchmaker is just as important as finding the right match!

At Matchmakers In The City, we are a selective, boutique matchmaking firm that accepts only a limited number of Priority Members each year. This allows our team to dedicate personalized attention, time, and resources to each client's matchmaking journey.

We also understand that we may not be the right matchmaking agency for everyone, and that's perfectly okay! During our initial consultations, we're always transparent about whether we believe our services are a good fit for your goals.

If we determine that another matchmaking company may be better suited to your needs, we're happy to recommend other wonderful professional matchmakers within our established network.

Even if you're still deciding whether to hire a matchmaker, a consultation can be a valuable opportunity to explore your options and receive honest, professional guidance.

 

How Professional Matchmaking Works

​

5. How does Matchmakers In The City work?

Our matchmaking process begins with a free, confidential online application.

Due to high demand and our selective admissions process, prospective members must complete an application before being invited to schedule a Personal Matchmaker Meeting, also known as a consultation.

During this meeting, one of our professional Matchmakers will learn more about you, your dating history, what you're looking for in a partner, and your relationship goals. We'll also explain our different membership options to help determine which experience is right for you.

We offer two primary matchmaking membership experiences:

Basic Membership: Our passive matchmaking option allows eligible singles to join our private matchmaking database and potentially be introduced to one of our Priority Members. Matches are not guaranteed.

Priority Matchmaking Membership: Our personalized, year-long luxury matchmaking experience includes a specified number of introductions outlined in your membership agreement.

Potential matches are personally interviewed and screened, including background checks, social media checks, and sex offender registry searches.

Priority Members also receive pre-date coaching, post-date coaching, personalized feedback, full concierge date planning, and ongoing support from our team throughout the year.

Our Matchmakers handle the details so you can focus on getting to know someone wonderful.

 

6. How is hiring a matchmaker different from using dating apps?

Professional matchmaking offers a personalized, human approach to dating.

At Matchmakers In The City, real Matchmakers personally get to know our clients and carefully select potential partners based on compatibility, attraction, values, lifestyle, and relationship goals.

Our clients enjoy confidential introductions without public dating profiles, endless swiping, or computer algorithms making their romantic decisions.

 

7. How do matchmakers find potential matches?

Professional Matchmakers use private databases, personal networks, professional relationships, direct recruitment, scouting, and partnerships with other matchmaking agencies to identify eligible singles.

At Matchmakers In The City, our team actively scouts and recruits compatible singles throughout Los Angeles and across the country, searching both within and beyond our existing matchmaking network.

Each matchmaking search is personalized to the individual client and their relationship goals.

 

8. Are potential matches background checked?

Yes. At Matchmakers In The City, we take screening seriously.

Our matchmaking process includes personal interviews, basic background checks, social media screening, and sex offender registry searches.

Our basic background checks are designed to help verify that individuals are who they represent themselves to be and to review basic available background information.

Please note: Our screening process does not include credit checks or government Social Security number verification. Our background checks are basic in scope and do not constitute comprehensive investigations.

While we make reasonable efforts to screen prospective matches, no screening process can guarantee another individual's identity, character, conduct, or personal safety.

 

9. Is professional matchmaking confidential?

Absolutely. Privacy and discretion are central to our luxury matchmaking experience.

Unlike traditional dating apps, Matchmakers In The City does not maintain publicly searchable dating profiles. Our private matchmaking database is accessible to our matchmaking team, and introductions are handled discreetly.

We understand the importance of confidentiality for executives, entrepreneurs, celebrities, public figures, and professionals who prefer to keep their personal lives private.

 

10. How long does it take for a matchmaker to find someone?

Every matchmaking journey is different!

Our Priority Matchmaking Memberships are one year long, giving our team time to thoughtfully search for and introduce compatible potential partners.

Typically, our Priority Members can expect their first match to be selected and their first date to be arranged within approximately one to two months of beginning their membership.

However, timelines vary considerably. We've had clients for whom we identified a compatible match and were ready to coordinate an introduction in as little as three days!

The timing depends on factors including your dating preferences, geographic location, compatibility criteria, and the availability of potential matches.

For Basic Members, matchmaking is entirely passive. Basic Members remain eligible for consideration within our private database for one year, but introductions and dates are not guaranteed.

 

11. Do professional matchmakers guarantee marriage?

No. Matchmakers In The City does not guarantee marriage, has never guaranteed marriage, and will never guarantee marriage.

No professional matchmaker can guarantee romantic chemistry, a lasting relationship, or marriage.

What we provide is a personalized matchmaking experience, thoughtfully selected introductions, professional dating guidance, and ongoing support throughout your membership.

Our goal is to give our clients meaningful opportunities to meet compatible, relationship-minded individuals while providing guidance and encouragement along the way.
