They don't approve or endorse massive age gap dating or dynamics. Which excludes guys like me that specifically seek this out.

Patrick, thank you for sharing your perspective. Our process focuses on identifying mutually compatible matches based on alignment in lifestyle, values, and relationship goals from both individuals. While we work with a wide range of preferences, all introductions require mutual interest and comfort from both parties. We understand that certain preferences may be more specific, and that can impact availability within the client base. We appreciate your feedback and wish you the very best in finding the type of connection you’re looking for.

Adventure time

They are so enthusiastic for my happiness! I am so excited to meet my first match, we are going skydiving for our first date! I am so looking forward to this adventure 😊

Reply from The Matchmaking Company2026-04-08

Christina, this sounds amazing! We love your excitement. What an unforgettable first date idea! Skydiving is definitely a bold and adventurous way to start a connection. We’re so glad you’re feeling supported and excited going into this experience. Wishing you an incredible time and an even better connection. Enjoy every moment of the adventure!

They allow harassment

Ladies!!! RUN! Not safe!!!and they don’t care!!!! I had an extremely UNCOMFORTABLE, HARASSING and upsetting experience with this matchmaking company. After being harassed on a date arranged through their service, I reached out expecting concern, accountability, and support. Instead, my experience was completely dismissed. Rather than taking the situation seriously, they minimized what happened and showed no regard for my safety or well-being. I was made to feel belittled, humiliated, and completely insignificant. What’s even more shocking is that they still expected me to continue my membership and pay in full, as if nothing had happened. This company appears to care more about collecting money than protecting or respecting their clients—especially women. There was zero accountability, no empathy, and no effort to resolve the situation in a fair or ethical way. I strongly urge anyone considering this service to think twice. If you are looking for a safe, respectful, and supportive experience, this is not the place. My experience left me feeling deceived, manipulated, and deeply disrespected. No one should have to go through something like this and be treated as though it doesn’t matter.

Reply from The Matchmaking Company2026-04-03

Meredith, we take concerns involving safety and personal boundaries extremely seriously, and any situation described in that manner is never dismissed or taken lightly. At the same time, we must clarify that the characterization of your experience is not consistent with our records. Our team did respond to your outreach and made efforts to follow up and schedule time to discuss your concerns. We do not condone harassment or inappropriate behavior under any circumstances, and any such report is reviewed internally. Our process is designed to support clients and address concerns when they arise, not ignore them. Because this review references specific interactions and account details, we cannot address everything publicly. A member of our team will be reaching out again in an effort to connect and work through this constructively.

Worst experience

Worst experience. Don't waste your money. Lost thousands of dollars and never had any one for me so they sent an Indian man who wanted an Indian woman (I am not Indian) and a biker who spent every weekend with the bikers and i do not. A man who lived in a room with his children who only left the house once a week!!!!!!!!!!

Fidelma, thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that you feel this way about your experience. For clarity, your membership has been expired since April 2024, and we had not received recent feedback prior to this review. Matchmaking is a personalized and compatibility-driven process. While we work to align introductions with stated preferences and lifestyle, compatibility also depends on mutual interest, availability, and openness from both individuals. At times, introductions may not feel aligned, which is why feedback after each match is an important part of refining the process. We understand that your experience has been frustrating, and that is never our intention. We wish you the very best moving forward.

Wonderful experience!

I was impressed with the company from my first meeting! They listened and were sincerely thinking of my well-being. I was given some coaching lessons for free and met a wonderful coach named Brittany. She was great! I learned so much from her about the dating process and also things about myself!

Reply from The Matchmaking Company2026-03-26

Denise, thank you for sharing such a wonderful experience! We’re so glad to hear that you felt listened to and supported from your very first meeting. It’s great to know that your time with Brittany made such an impact, and she truly has a gift for helping clients gain insight, confidence, and clarity in the dating process. We’re so happy you found value not only in the experience but also in what you learned about yourself along the way. We appreciate you taking the time to share this and are excited for what’s ahead for you!

Very disappointed. I spent two hours in my interview then my account was turned over tobanother person who hasn't met my needs. Its like she doesn't have any idea about me.

Reply from The Matchmaking Company2026-03-19

Mary, thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that you’re feeling disappointed. It’s not uncommon for different team members to be involved throughout the process, but your full profile, preferences, and notes from your initial consultation are documented and shared so there is continuity in your experience. That said, you should absolutely feel understood and supported by your matchmaker. Matchmaking is a feedback-driven process, and open communication is key to helping us refine and better align your matches over time. A member of our team will review your file and reach out directly to better understand your concerns and work with you to move forward in a more positive direction.

We appreciate you taking the time to share this and are honored to be part of your journey.

Theresa Brown feedback

My matchmaker is Theresa Brown. Theresa has been extremely helpful and supportive. As someone new to matchmaking I am fortunate to have Theresa as my matchmaker. She does a great job of providing positive feedback and suggestions on how to improve. I would be lost without someone like Theresa.

Reply from The Matchmaking Company2026-03-17

David, thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback! We’re thrilled to hear how supportive and helpful Theresa has been for you, especially as you’re new to the matchmaking process. Having someone in your corner to guide, encourage, and provide meaningful feedback can make all the difference, and we’re so glad she’s been that person for you. We truly appreciate you sharing your experience and look forward to continuing this journey with you.

What a journey full of ups and downs

What a journey full of ups and downs. I'm not going to lie, this started VERY rough for me. I had been single for a long time, and the dating apps were laughing in my face. My friend signed me up, saying, "What can it hurt?" I received the phone call and tried to ask about pricing, but they wouldn't talk about it; they wanted to meet in person. I said I didn't want to waste anyone's time if it was not feasible, but they still wouldn't tell me anything. So, I went to the local office (the worst part of the whole process). The conversation started well; she got me to open up and said all the right things. Then we get to the money, and whoa! I was shocked. I didn't expect it to be cheap, but still! This is where our 2-3 hour appointment took a turn. I was unsure about the money, and she started giving me "deals", "deals she doesn't make with anyone", "the best possible deal she can give me because she wants this for me". I told her I needed some time to think things over. She told me that if I left, the deals were off the table, and I had to sign right then. She started throwing personal things I mentioned back in my face about why I was single and would always be single if I didn't make this investment in myself. After feeling like this was my only option to ever find my "happily ever after", I signed, paid, and left in tears. (Suggestion for the company: don't have us fill out a survey or feedback form for this process in the office. I couldn't give my honest feedback because I was literally handing it back to the person who made me miserable.) With that said, the best thing she did for me and the best part of the experience was my coaching with Shallyce. I honestly don't think I would have made it through this process without her. As a person, I have come a LONG way since my first conversation with Shallyce. I may have done the work, but dang it, she pushed me and stuck by me when I had doubts. She was definitely the bright spot in what was sometimes a dark process. The matchmaker process itself, I had a love/hate relationship with. My first match was very quick, and after meeting, I felt they matched me with someone just to get the first one done. I don't think we had one thing in common. I had another match where my date said to me, "I don't know why they matched us". Which was true; he was a real piece of work. As I was coming down to my last couple of matches, I felt very defeated by the process. I had asked for a break from matches as I needed time to get excited about the process again. Then I received the phone call. There was a match that both my matchmaker, Amy, and my coach, Shallyce, thought would be a great match for me. I agreed, and I am so glad I did. I believe that I finally found my person. I am currently in a happy hold and am very happy! While I wish the beginning of the process had been different, I am so glad I stuck with it because it led me to my person. I truly believe this is my happily ever after.

Katie, thank you for sharing such an honest and thoughtful reflection on your journey. We truly appreciate you being open about both the challenges and the positive moments along the way. Matchmaking can sometimes be an emotional process with ups and downs, especially when someone has been navigating dating for a long time, and we’re grateful that you stayed committed to the process. We’re especially happy to hear how impactful your coaching experience with Shallyce was. She is incredibly dedicated to helping clients grow in confidence and clarity, and it’s wonderful to hear how much progress you feel you’ve made with her support. We’ll be sure she sees your kind words. Most importantly, we are thrilled to hear that you are now on a happy hold and feeling excited about the connection you’ve found. As you said so perfectly, sometimes it really does only take one. We’re wishing you all the happiness as this relationship continues to grow.

Unethical Practices: exploitation of vulnerable population

I signed up for this matchmaking service in October 2025 and, since then, have had only one date. No other suitable matches have been provided. At the initial consultation, the company created a profile outlining my clearly stated, non-negotiable preferences, including religion, level of education, and compatible interests. However, the few introductions that were presented did not meet these basic criteria. Some individuals had different religious beliefs, others did not match the specified education level, and overall compatibility in interests was lacking. These introductions cannot reasonably be considered appropriate matches. This suggests that the company did not have an adequate pool of candidates who matched my profile and age range, yet they proceeded to enroll me and accept a significant payment for the service. Taking a substantial amount of money from a senior citizen while selling the promise of compatible matches that the company is unable to deliver raises serious concerns about exploitation and potential elder abuse. In my opinion, this reflects a deeply misleading and exploitative business practice. They deliberately mislead clients and operate unethically and dishonestly, assuming that once a contract is signed, it gives them the right to take payment without delivering the promised services. The company’s responses to reviews appear to be automated and repeatedly reference vague “next steps,” yet those steps are never clearly defined. At this point, the only meaningful next steps would be either providing a genuinely compatible match that meets the stated criteria or issuing a refund.

Reply from The Matchmaking Company2026-03-12

Tatiana, thank you for taking the time to share your concerns. We’re sorry to hear that you feel disappointed with your experience, as our intention is always to provide a respectful, professional, and thoughtful matchmaking service to every client. Our service focuses on identifying mutually compatible introductions, which means that both individuals must align with each other’s preferences and be open to meeting. Because of this, we cannot guarantee a specific number of introductions within a particular timeframe, nor can we guarantee that every potential match will meet every item on a client’s list of requirements. Compatibility involves many factors including shared values, lifestyle, availability, and mutual interest from both parties. Introductions also require mutual approval, meaning both individuals must feel the match aligns well enough with their own preferences to move forward. When preferences on either side do not align closely enough, an introduction may not occur. Availability can also be a factor, as potential matches may be traveling, focused on work, or managing other life circumstances outside of the service. In your case, our team has presented five potential opportunities since the start of your membership, the majority of which were declined before a meeting occurred. Our team has remained in communication and continues to search for introductions that offer strong overall compatibility. Matchmaking is ultimately a process that requires openness from both sides, and we always encourage clients to consider meeting individuals who share strong core values and compatibility, even if every preference is not perfectly aligned on paper. We also strongly disagree with the characterization that our company operates in a misleading or unethical manner. All membership terms, expectations, and services are explained during the consultation and outlined in the written agreement prior to enrollment so clients can make an informed decision. A member of our team will continue to review your file and reach out directly so we can discuss your concerns and how best to move forward.

DISAPPOINTED!

What is not explained to you when you sign the contract is that you cannot make any changes once you sign, i.e. age. Your deal breakers are the only thing they use in matching you. I dId'nt need to pay $3,000 to find a short bald man, plenty of them out there on the dating sites. I am so disappointed in their service!

Reply from The Matchmaking Company2026-03-10

Julie, thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that you’re feeling disappointed. For clarity, your membership has since expired. Your original agreement included four introductions, and in good faith, we provided two additional introductions beyond what was included in your program. During the enrollment process, clients outline both their preferences and their deal breakers so our matchmakers have a clear framework to work within. While deal breakers are important boundaries, our team also considers many other factors, such as compatibility, availability, lifestyle, and relationship goals, when selecting introductions. Matchmaking is also a feedback-driven process, where introductions help our experienced matchmakers better understand chemistry and preferences over time. We always want our clients to feel heard and supported throughout the process, and we wish you the very best moving forward.

Poor/Dishonest customer service

Initially, very nice and positive. Finally an introduction that went Ok and a subsequent hiking trip and dinner that was also OK. However, she was a snowbird and lives in another State most of the time and would be leaving soon. She was difficult to communicate with due to a hearing disability. Zero contact with matchmaker Audrianna for 3 weeks after numerous calls/texts.

Reply from The Matchmaking Company2026-03-09

Steve, thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience felt frustrating, as our goal is always to maintain consistent communication and support throughout the process. Matchmaking can sometimes involve introductions where circumstances such as seasonal residency or personal factors affect how a connection develops. We understand that it can be disappointing when you are hoping for something more immediately compatible. Regarding communication, that is certainly not the experience we want for our clients. Your feedback will be reviewed internally so we can better understand what may have occurred. A member of our team will also look into your file and reach out directly to ensure your concerns are addressed and to discuss next steps moving forward.

I’m very satisfied with my matchmaker…

I’m very satisfied with my matchmaker couch, Theresa Brown. She has been kind and thorough throughout this process. She has listened attentively to my likes and dislikes, hopes and desires for my next partner. Most of all she has been patient with me. She is actually very much like the kind of woman I have been searching for. Unfortunately she is much too young for me, and married already I believe.🤣🤣.

Reply from The Matchmaking Company2026-03-05

Peter, thank you for the wonderful review! We’re so glad to hear how positive your experience has been with Theresa. Her kindness, patience, and attention to detail are exactly what make her such a great coach and matchmaker. And your sense of humor definitely gave us a smile! We’re grateful for your trust in the process and look forward to continuing to support you on your journey.

Terrible experience

Terrible experience, I had three matchmakers and none of them followed my guidelines. They tried to match me with any male with a pulse. It has been a waste of time and money. When I repeatedly explained my criteria they tried to change my mind and kept telling me, “ hes not a perfect match, but hes really nice” One matchmaker even tried to date one of the matches she sent me out on a date with. I tried to keep an open mind but this was a really bad experience. I don’t know what was worst the guy that coujdbt stand up straight or look me in the eye or the guy that wouldn’t drive his car snd wanted to meet at a bus station. TOTAL JOKE!!!!!

Reply from The Matchmaking Company2026-03-02

Lisa, we’re disappointed to read this and strongly disagree with several of the claims made in your review. Matchmaking is a personalized and feedback-driven process. While we always strive to align introductions with stated preferences, compatibility involves more than a checklist and sometimes requires thoughtful flexibility. That said, no client should feel unheard, and your criteria are meant to guide, not be dismissed. We also want to be very clear that it is against company policy for any team member to pursue or “date” a client introduction. If this allegation were accurate, it would be taken extremely seriously. We understand that not every introduction will result in chemistry, and dating can sometimes involve uncomfortable experiences. However, we stand by the integrity of our screening process and our team. A member of our leadership team will review your file and reach out directly to address your concerns.

I cannot recommend Shallyce enough

I cannot recommend Shallyce enough! Since working with her late last year, she has completely transformed the way I approach dating and relationships. Her guidance has been integral to my journey of tapping into my feminine energy, dating with intention, and truly understanding my worth. Through the resources, exercises, and advice she’s shared, I’ve completely rerouted my mindset. I now approach dating from a place of confidence, recognizing that I am the prize, and seeking someone who values me enough to show up with effort and consistency without me feeling like I have to overcompensate. I’ve also applied her suggestions on putting myself out there more and approaching dating almost like “data collection,” which has allowed me to experiment, learn, and grow without pressure or stress. The tools and insights she’s provided have been practical, empowering, and life-changing. Looking back from late last year to now, the transformation in my mindset, self-awareness, and dating experience has been incredible. If you’re ready to approach dating with clarity, confidence, and intention,Shallyce is the coach you need!

Reply from The Matchmaking Company2026-03-02

Meghin, thank you for such an incredibly thoughtful and powerful review. It means so much to hear how transformative your experience with Shallyce has been. The shift you described, dating with intention, confidence, and a deep understanding of your worth, is exactly the kind of growth we hope every client experiences. We love that you’ve embraced the “data collection” mindset and are approaching dating from a place of strength rather than pressure. That kind of self-awareness changes everything. Shallyce will be so touched by your words. We’re truly honored to be part of your journey and can’t wait to see what’s next for you.

I really enjoy working with Shallyce…

I really enjoy working with Shallyce and it’s nice to have someone to talk to that wants me to succeed!!

Having someone in your corner who genuinely wants you to succeed makes all the difference. We appreciate your trust and look forward to continuing the process with you.
