I would be cautious with all the reviewers that recently signed up and submitting reviews. Seems suspect to me. Reviews of members that have been signed up for 6-12 months are a better reflection of the service this matchmaker provides. So go for those reviews and read what is stated about this company. Good luck in your dating!

Disappointed with the service

I thought that by paying for this service, I would receive professional and reliable service. Unfortunately, my experience was completely different. I feel that I was misled and that my appointments were a waste of time and money. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this service to anyone.

I was skeptical at first and anxious, but after speaking with Leighann, I am feeling hopeful again. She went above and beyond and made me feel heard, understood and answered all of my questions. I have had a rough yr this last yr and Leighann was empathetic and compassionate when speaking with me. I am very excited and again hopeful working with matchmaking.

Exceptional Experience With Professional Dating DMV Matchmaking Services

Good evening,

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to share my experience with the DMV matchmaking team.

I want to take a moment to recognize the exceptional, professional, and personalized service I received throughout my four-month dating journey. From the beginning, the matchmaking team took the time to understand who I was, what I was looking for in a relationship, and the qualities and personal standards that were important to me in a potential partner.

Because of the nature of my professional career, discretion, personal safety, and trust are extremely important to me. I specifically wanted to meet women who had been properly vetted and background-checked. The team understood those requirements and worked diligently to introduce me to women who were compatible with my expectations, lifestyle, values, and relationship goals.

Over the course of three months, I was introduced to several elegant, intelligent, accomplished, and genuinely interesting women. These introductions were not simply based on superficial characteristics. The matchmaking team made an effort to consider compatibility, including education, career, socioeconomic background, age, culture, upbringing, personal values, communication styles, and long-term relationship expectations.

Most importantly, they helped me think more carefully about what makes a healthy and sustainable relationship. I was looking for someone with whom I could establish clear communication, mutual respect, balanced teamwork, individual freedom, shared values, and fair conflict resolution. I wanted a relationship where both people could maintain their own interests and goals while building something meaningful together.

One of the introductions was particularly successful. I developed a relationship with one of the women I was introduced to, and we ultimately dated for more than eight months. That experience alone demonstrated to me the value of having knowledgeable professionals who take compatibility seriously rather than simply matching people based on a few common interests.

I also appreciated that the team encouraged me to look beyond simply finding someone attractive and instead consider the qualities that contribute to a healthy, stable, and lasting relationship. They helped me recognize the importance of emotional maturity, mutual acceptance, respect for boundaries, communication, personal growth, and the ability to handle disagreements without manipulation, cruelty, or unnecessary conflict.

Overall, I found the matchmaking team to be professional, respectful, attentive, and genuinely invested in helping me find compatible people. They listened to my expectations, respected my standards, and provided a level of personalized service that I have not experienced with traditional online dating platforms.

I would highly recommend their matchmaking services to anyone who is serious about finding a compatible partner and who values professionalism, discretion, safety, and meaningful compatibility over simply matching with as many people as possible.

Thank you again to the entire team for the time, effort, professionalism, and care they invested in my dating journey. I sincerely appreciate the experience and the many wonderful introductions they provided.

Respectfully,
-Jim Pearson

I appreciate that matchmakers do a background check. They also ask lots of questions to match you with someone with similar interests. The 2 dates I’ve been on have been with quality gentlemen.

Coach Victoria is excellent. She has surpassed the benefits of all the counseling I have ever received before.
VIctoria has an ability to capture what is needing to be discussed and works in a timely and thorough manner.
I am heard and validated. She has helped bring my heart to a place where I can both give and receive love.
Forever grateful I will be for this season of healing, with her help.

The Matchmaking Company has been professional and responsive to any and all my inquiries. My Matchmaking coach Janel, has been positive, very upbeat, attentive and takes all of my needs into account before suggesting matches. She is quick to always call me back and spends a lot of time listening to assure she matches me well.

Michelle was truly kind and generous. I loved working with her.

Friendly understanding workers. Very nice to me. Did a great job. I really appreciate them, especially Jessica and Michelle. They are terrific. So glad I joined up with this matchmaking place.

I paid thousands of dollars for what was sold as personalized matchmaking. After eight introductions, ZERO matches fully met the parameters I provided.

I was clear that I wanted marriage and children and gave them an age preference connected to those goals. Every woman I was introduced to was above that preference, and I was also matched with women who did not want children.

Some were wonderful women. That's not my complaint. Nobody can guarantee chemistry. I expected introductions to people who reasonably fit what I hired them to find.

Rebecca, who sold me the service, is the ONLY person who had a substantive conversation with me about what I wanted. Neither matchmaker subsequently responsible for choosing my matches did.

At least three matches independently told me my original matchmaker, Ashley, had described me and my career in ways I believe were inaccurate and negatively framed. Eventually, both a match and I complained, and Ashley was transferred to another office. Her replacement has never even called me to discuss what I'm looking for.

Most troubling, FOUR of my eight matches independently told me they were unhappy with the company and trying to obtain refunds. They told me they believed going on our date would help them receive a refund or was required as part of the process. I can only report what they told me, but half my dates were with women who said they were already trying to leave the service.

I've repeatedly tried to escalate my concerns, including calling other offices, only to be routed back to the same person I've asked not to handle my account.

I didn't pay for a guaranteed marriage. I paid for professional matchmaking.

They didn't owe me the finish line. They owed me a legitimate starting line. After eight introductions and zero matches meeting my criteria, I don't believe they ever put me in the right race.

Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this company.
UPDATE: It has now been a couple of weeks since the company publicly responded to this review saying they wanted the opportunity to speak with me and address my concerns. Despite that response, no one has contacted me or made any attempt to follow up.

Unfortunately, that only reinforces my impression that the public response was intended to placate me and reassure prospective customers reading this review, rather than a genuine effort to resolve the issues I raised.

When I signed up for a series of six matches, I was impressed with the thoroughness of my intake interview. I wasn't talking with my "personal matchmaker" but with a slick saleswoman who knew the right buttons and phrases to push. After that, there were no more personal meetings, not even a zoom call. My first matchmaker left the company within a few months. She was replaced by another one, who also didn't stick around very long. This should have been a red flag! I was never offered a chance to meet either women, so they're all relying on notes. A third matchmaker was a young man. We only communicated by phone and the feedback forms the company requests after each date. Supposedly this is their method for refining a client's desires and wishes in a match.

Not one of the six really came close to what I was hoping to meet. My guess is that they screen for age, area code and height. The rest is pure luck. In my area, and age group, there are many more single women than men. I was trusting my matchmakers to be more selective than I, with the added advantage that they had a much larger pool to select from. That turned out not to be the case.

The phone calls I had with the last two matchmakers were uncomfortable, as I was blamed for not provding feedback. Which I did.

I've delt with other matchmakers as I was on their database. These others are more respectful, thorough and provide more hands on service than The Matchmaking Company. All these others provide at least one photo of their proposed date, allowing one to accept or not. I'm not one to go on a total blind date. My time is worth more to me than that. The Matchmaking Company's policy is no photos. They operate on a hope and a prayer methodology.

In sum, three matchmakers in two years. No photos. No meetings. No zoom. Little internal communcations between matchmakers. Most dates were way off the mark. Argumentative conversations. Passing the blame back to the client. High fees.

If you feel you need the services of a professional matchmaker, there are other options out there. Avoid this one!

So far I have been very dissatisfied with their service. The 3 men I have met have not at all had qualities that I had asked for. The one who seemed to really want to see me again was never heard from again. I feel as though I have been scammed. I have never made it to 2 dates, let alone 3!! I am truly heart sick to think I spent all this money for nothing.

So I paid 7,000 to this matchmaking company who promised 12 “ introductions “ a year. It’s now year 3 and I’ve had 4. A woman named Rachel has reached out to me 3 times in the past year. Told me she had introductions and then sent email saying those women were unavailable or other excuses. Then she called yesterday and said “ I have an introduction and I’m now convinced that these are just made up by this company to appease me. I am saying do not put your $$$$ into this match making company. You will lose out. I’ve had more dates on Facebook dating which is free.

Very expensive for a company that offers few matches but will be glad to take your money. It’s a scam. Stay away.

I really appreciated Irene taking the time to get to know me so she could find someone with similar interests, values, and personality. That isn’t always an easy task, but she did a great job! I am having so much fun with the gentleman she matched me with!

the Matchmaking Company didn't fulfill their promises made during my initial screening - and they refused to offer any refund once I realized it was a scam. The "matchmakers" are women in the Sacramento area who never meet a client in person, have no idea what people look like - and have no knowledge about what a client is looking for. No attempt was made to confirm client statements regarding their physical ability, health, interests, hobbies, sports, income, etc. I was never introduced to a healthy, attractive woman with any shared interests that I stated up front such as golf, scuba, tropical travel, etc. From the beginning I was reluctant to accept any of the matches offered, and I always regretted it when I agreed to meet somebody. On-line dating sites are much better in terms of learning something about a prospective date up front. Matchmaking Company offers zero value added and is a complete waste of time and money.

I had a kind, considerate, empathetic matchmaker, who set me up to meet 5 women. One of them was wonderful lady, so down to earth, and so so considerate of everyone and everything. She’s a pleasure to talk. We had a short conversation when we called each other the first time on May 17; but since then, we rarely spend less than an hour on the phone every day since we’ve met. We’ve had coffee together, dinner on Fourth of July, went to the yearly Polynesian festival, went out for dinner and to listen to music, watched TV…. We are so very comfortable with each other. This is a GREAT matchmaking service.

I tried MatchmakingCompany because I liked the idea of a more traditional approach to dating. The thought of having a service focused on finding compatible people sounded more appealing than just endlessly swiping through random profiles. Sites like RCompass.in make it easier to find genuine users and focus on conversations that actually have a chance to become something meaningful. I was hoping a matchmaking service would feel more thoughtful and personalized

MatchMaking is a total scam and a complete waste of money!

I paid thousands of dollars for a service that promised to bring me highly qualified, optimized matches, specifically and professionally picked for me, based on my specific criteria. Even with all of my concerns and reservations, I was told “we have been in business for 40 years and you just need to trust us, trust the process, and you will be very happy”.

This program costs several thousand dollars and that is just to go in to this blindly. If you want to see pictures of your matches first, that will cost you a couple thousand dollars more for that package.

I spent almost two hours with MatchMaking, answering their questions, telling them about me, who I am, what I am looking for, interests, etc. and its like they were not even listening. My matches were NOTHING like what I was looking for. I am an athletic guy with a thin build so I had clearly stated that I am interested in petite, thin, or athletic women. I had even emailed my matchmaker with pictures of my last couple girlfriends and several other pictures of women that I am or would be attracted to. My matches were not any of these in any way. Not even close. I am not at all interested in heavy, thick, big boned, or a few extra pounds. That is not what I am looking for. Am I being picky? Yes, I am. Absolutely. I am looking for a beautiful woman that I want to spend the rest of my life with. I was told “…but you scored a 95 in our system and had some common interests so it should have been a great match”.

One match was in the system for 5 days and one match was in the system for 2 days. Whether they fit my criteria or not, it was basically, “well, here is a new girl. Lets give him this one and see how it goes”.

My first three matches asked me about my career in real estate. I am not, was not, do not, nor am I wanting to get into real estate. Because I had mentioned to matchmaking during the interview process that I owned a duplex that I rehabbed and rented, real estate somehow became my full time profession. It took three matches and three phone calls to MatchMaking to finally have that removed from my profile.

I had left a lengthy voicemail for my matchmaker about my frustrations, not having my information correct (after repeated requests) and not getting the quality of matches I was told I would. They had one last chance and one more match to go.

Now explain to me how this is OK….

I am Christian man, a Conservative man, never been married, brought up in a Cristian Reformed church, went to a Christian school, go to church every week, strong in my faith and looking for someone to match that energy and join me in that part of my life. And yet, somehow, because we scored very high in the system, I was matched with a Russian, Democrat, Atheist who is twice divorced and lives 45 minutes away from me.

“But you both scored very high in our system and you shared some common interests” is what I was told. And “we only provide you with matches. We cannot guarantee you will have a relationship or fall in love. That is up to the individuals”.

Basically your information is put into a computer and given a score regardless of common sense or any personal opinion or input.

This process was NOT what I was led to believe. I paid THOUSANDS of dollars for this service and this is absolutely not the expectation I had or was given. And because they do not offer refunds, their only suggestion was to buy additional matches as they continue to “learn and define” who I am looking for.

You are out of your mind thinking I am going to give you MORE money so you can continue to “learn” about what I want. Absolutely not!

And the only four and five star reviews you see online are because of the friendly staff and nothing to do with the matches they received. Of course they are going to be friendly when they are trying to get that much money from you. Once you sign the contract, that money is GONE.

TOTAL SCAM!!!!
