HERE ARE SOME OF THE MOST FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT OUR MATCHMAKING SERVICE:
The VIP Membership is our premier, paid matchmaking service — a fully bespoke, highly personalized program for individuals seeking long-term compatibility and meaningful partnership. You will be matched by a dedicated matchmaker who represents you discreetly, curates introductions, and manages every detail of the search on your behalf.
Note: VIP Membership is focused on relationship and long-term potential. It is separate from our Affiliate Dating (Dating With Benefits) program, which is the agency’s curated option for compensated, casual companionship. The two services are distinct in intent, process and expectations.
Our VIP clients are accomplished professionals, business leaders, public figures and discerning individuals who value discretion, intention and high-quality introductions. They seek a concierge-style service that replaces the friction of dating with a considered, expert-led approach.
Private Consultation — A confidential one-to-one conversation to understand your life, values, and relationship goals.
Profile Development & Strategy — We craft a discreet, persuasive profile and a bespoke search strategy.
Search & Vetting — We source candidates from our global network and trusted private channels, conducting careful vetting.
Introductions — You receive carefully curated introductions, each pre-vetted for compatibility and suitability.
Feedback & Refinement — After each introduction, we collect feedback and refine our search until we find the right match.

Complete the VIP inquiry form on our site. A member of our team will reach out for a confidential consultation to determine fit. If both parties agree to proceed, we’ll outline the scope, fees and next steps for onboarding.
Once your VIP Membership application has been submitted, a senior member of our matchmaking team will contact you to arrange your personal consultation. This consultation is a required, paid session designed to explore your background, relationship goals, lifestyle, and expectations in greater depth.
It also allows us to ensure the VIP program aligns with your objectives and to outline the next steps toward your bespoke matchmaking experience. Details regarding the consultation fee and scheduling will be provided upon review of your application.
Every client is unique. Typical experiences include:
Regional clients (same city/country): introductions often begin within weeks, with meaningful matches often emerging in 1–2 months.
International or highly selective briefs: the search may take few to several months as we source and vet across markets.
We prioritize quality over speed. Your matchmaker will set expectations specific to your brief and provide regular progress updates.
We offer tiered, bespoke engagements reflecting search scope and service level:
Regional Search — starting from USD $75,000 (regional scope, local network).
National / International Search — starting from $100,000 or bespoke pricing based on scope and complexity; provided upon consultation.
Fees cover the personalized search, representation, vetting, introductions, and concierge support.
Fees are typically one-time and non-refundable, reflecting the bespoke investment our team makes on your behalf. Specific terms (including payment schedule and any optional add-ons) are provided during the consultation.
We guarantee active representation and a carefully curated search on your behalf, but human chemistry cannot be promised. Our approach and track record deliver high client satisfaction and meaningful outcomes. Historically our client satisfaction metrics exceed 85% — yet the ultimate course of any relationship depends on mutual choice and compatibility.
There is no fixed number because each brief is bespoke. Your matchmaker will outline an expected cadence and target number of introductions during onboarding. The emphasis is on fewer, higher-quality introductions, not volume. Typical clients receive several tailored introductions over their engagement, adjusted to feedback and results.

If you meet a meaningful partner early, that’s a success — and we celebrate that with you. You may choose to pause or conclude your membership; your matchmaker will advise on transitioning and any contractual considerations. Each engagement is handled with discretion.
If a suitable match is not achieved within the agreed term, we review the brief, feedback and search strategy with you. Options may include refinements to criteria, targeted re-runs, or membership extension terms. We collaborate closely to determine the best next step.
Your engagement matters. We kindly request that you:
Respond to your matchmaker and introductions promptly.
Be honest about preferences, availability and intentions.
Present authentically (clear, recent photos where requested).
Treat introductions with professional courtesy and openness.
The more engaged and responsive you are, the more effectively we can advocate on your behalf.
Privacy is foundational. All client information, communications and introductions are handled under strict confidentiality protocols. For high-profile clients we enforce additional measures — private representation, NDAs and bespoke privacy controls — to protect your identity and personal details at every stage.
Yes. All VIP candidates undergo careful vetting; identity verification and background checks are undertaken where appropriate to ensure the integrity of our network. This is part of our duty of care to both parties and keeps our community safe and trustworthy.
Yes. We operate globally, serving clients across major markets. Cross-border introductions are arranged routinely; logistics and travel considerations are discussed upfront so the search aligns with your lifestyle and availability.
No. We do not create public profiles or publish member galleries. Your profile is maintained privately within our secure systems and only accessible to authorized staff and vetted matchmakers.
Your matchmaker acts as your personal advocate, from crafting your profile to phone-screening potential matches and briefing you before introductions. They manage outreach, logistics and provide coaching through the process. They are your primary contact and will update you regularly.
We use a combination of our proprietary member database, targeted outreach to private networks, referrals, and selective recruitment. Our sourcing is proactive and bespoke — we pursue candidates who meet the profile and values you’ve outlined.
Absolutely. We routinely create international matches. We’ll discuss travel expectations, timelines and logistics early in the process to ensure the brief is realistic and aligned with your availability.
We support the transition with guidance on privacy, next-steps and any concierge assistance you may request. If your relationship develops into a lasting partnership, we’ll assist as required and close your membership with discretion.
We have deep experience working with executives, public figures and high-net-worth individuals. We put bespoke privacy protocols in place, including NDA agreements and highly restricted exposure, to ensure your search remains confidential.
We maintain strict internal policies to prevent conflicts of interest. Where potential conflicts arise, we disclose them and handle the situation in a way that preserves integrity and client trust.
VIP engagements typically involve a one-time fee that covers the bespoke search. Fees are non-refundable due to the bespoke nature and immediate allocation of resources. Specific cancellation, pause and extension policies are detailed in your engagement agreement; these terms are reviewed and agreed before your membership begins.
If you are ready to invest time, honesty and engagement into finding a long-term partner, and you value discretion, expertise and a high-touch service, VIP matchmaking is an excellent fit. If you are unsure, schedule a consultation — it’s the best way to learn whether this service matches your goals.
Regional brief: Client in London — consultation to introduction within 6 weeks; meaningful relationship within 3 months.
International brief: Client in Dubai seeking a partner across Europe — search and vetting required 3–6 months for a considered introduction.
These are examples — your timeline will be tailored to your brief.
