Jaydi S.
Matchmaker & Date Coach
After successfully matchmaking a number of high-profile colleagues in the entertainment industry, Jaydi founded a boutique matchmaking and dating coaching business in 2014 where she helped introduce many couples who went on to become engaged or married. She then joined the esteemed team of Matchmakers at MITC. When she is not matchmaking, she is a working TV writer with credits on shows like Family Guy and Salem. Given her background and understanding of the unique needs in that field, she specializes in working with clients in the entertainment industry. She met her own husband Dave, who works on the unscripted side of the business, when he was referred to her as a client. For the first time ever, Jaydi "got high on her own supply" and asked him out on a date. The rest, as they say, is movie magic. She applies that same gut instinct when introducing others, and her absolute favorite clients to work with are ones like her husband, who are essentially the whole package but maybe just need a little nudge in the right direction. She and Dave reside in LA with their adorable and neurotic dog and new baby!
