The Matchmaker UK  Avis 

Amazing experience! Having wasted the last few years on date aps, my friend, who is already a client, recommended The Matchmaker UK. After my initial chat with Lara, she and the team have arranged 6 introductions. I have also been coached on my approach to dating with Lara and she is a miracle worker! I am so delighted to be dating the most lovely lady, all thanks to the brilliant dating strategy the team initiated for me. If you are thinking about hiring an personal introduction agency i highly recommend The Matchmaker UK, Cheers Robert, London

After coming out of a 20 year marriage modern dating was alien to me and a very daunting prospect. I came across The Matchmaker UK and after a lovely call with the MD Lara who calmed my worries and gave me the confidence to take the plunge. The whole process was seamless from completing the forms, ID verification etc. and I was kept updated with what was going on. I was introduced to several lovely gentleman, some led to dates and others didn't. I'm happy to say the I'm still in a relationship with my most recent match!. I would like to give a special mention to Katie Morris who has been amazing. Thanks The Matchmaker UK, I will certainly be recommending you to my single friends.

Lara and Michelle did a lot of research on me and we had long chats about my preferences on the services and I was very quickly matched to a very nice local lady.

If I could go lower I would. False promises and lies, lies, lies! I specifically said a match in London and then told a man in Manchester would move, that was considered a connection and he never intended to move. No refund, no remorse. I’m American and know customer service and not only is Lara a lier, don’t waste your money, their “team” has the worst customer service and extreme lack of communication. Since I’m in Marketing, happy to share these sentiments to my Tiktok and Social media followers so others won’t get SCAMMED! Out of 5 months I only went on 2 dates & she canceled my 6th without reimbursement, so that’s stealing!

Thanks for helping me in my search for love.

After my divorce I never thought I would find someone again. The thought of dating in my late 40’s was a daunting feeling. Lara went above and beyond to coach me before dates as I was a little out of practice! She has such a strong team behind her, they look the time to understand my preferences and values when looking for a partner. The Matchmaker UK is such a tailored experience. To which made this process of trusting someone else to find my Mr Right worth every minute & penny!

Lara was brilliant. She never gave up until she found my other half. I would recommend her in a heartbeat. Absolutely brilliant experience till the finish line

Highly recommended! I’ve had the most fantastic experience. Ideally I would give 10 stars as they found me my girlfriend! I particularly enjoyed the very hands on approach by the MD Lara, who spent a lot of her time alongside her team, working with me. I would recommend the Annual package, great value compared to other agencies.

With any dating experience you hope to go in with an open mind and open heart. By using this service with Lara and her team you have some peace of mind because the clientele are vetted providing a level of trust in the introductions. Thank you for your efforts and great service thus far.

I can’t recommend Lara and her and her team enough! What they provide is on a very different level to online dating.

This is a service that is absolutely tailored to the client’s needs and one where all the hard work is done by experienced and talented matchmakers. I loved how accessible the team was and how I was still able provide input throughout the process.

I am over the moon with the outcome and I’m looking forward to be what the future holds!

Well done guys 😁

Lara and her team at The Matchmaker UK treated me with care and provided such a thoughtful and meticulous service. I had initially signed up for the network membership until deciding to move to the dedicated service and i never looked back! such great value and extensive perks as well as hand picked matches made it worth every penny

Lara is a miracle worker ! After lots of failed dates and dipping my toe into internet dating - (even tinder!), i turned to the ‘Matchmaker UK’ and gosh… I tried to be optimistic and it paid off , after years of being a ‘single lady’ and resigning myself to a life of it, my life’s been turned around and I’ve been paired with the most perfect person. After being out of the game for a while I was nervous but had faith in the service and it paid off. We hit it off straight away and have seen each other quite a few times since and are now booking a weekend away together. Life is too short, find someone amazing to share it with, like I have !

Lara is fantastic, no doubt hands down the best in the business. She goes above & beyond I’m trying to find the perfect partner. I’m loving my journey with her and the company 5/5 💯

Excellent service from a company who understands the clients and what they are looking for. Highly recommended.

A friend of mine recommended the matchmaker uk after they had spoken but ultimately decided not to proceed due to the expense.

My first discussion with Lara showed her to be understanding and reassuring about how matches are selected. It was my intention to join at the top level network option (£750) to get a flavour of what this service could offer before proceeding to upgrade my membership.

A couple of profiles were sent through a few days later but neither were my type. My matchmaker contact told me that they had a strict criteria for rejecting a match. When asked how many men they had on their books, she replied, without hesitation, “hundreds”. If this is the case, there can’t really be a problem with my rejecting two. Another profile was presented, and while the location of the match specified Manchester, he in fact, lived much further away which made the match unworkable.

I felt obliged to go on a date with the next chap they proposed, owing the the strict “acceptable rejection” criteria. We arranged to meet for a drink. While it was pleasant enough, and the chap was courteous, he was just not for me. The next day, my matchmaker contact emailed to enquire about the date. For what is presented as a concierge service a telephone call would have been helpful.

Please don’t use this service thinking there is a secret stash of handsome eligible men waiting to be matched whom you wouldn’t otherwise have access to.

Yes, contractually, the obligation of one introduction was fulfilled but it was hardly a stellar match.

Based on my experience, here’s my advice if you’re thinking of using this service. Go for the upper end of the network package as I did. You’ll get one introduction and that will give you a good sense of if this service is for you. You can always upgrade later and it might save you a tonne of money if it doesn’t work out as you’d hoped.

Edit: *Attack is apparently the best form of defence if the response below is anything to go by. This review is an accurate representation of my experience. Only time, and the experience of other clients, will reveal which of us is “delusional”. It makes no difference to me what people choose to make of this review. It is my responsibility to share my experience so that others may make an informed decision. All being well, my disappointing experience will prove to be exceptional. Best wishes to all involved in the venture.

*response from the company has since been deleted.

Edits mentioned in the revised response below were typos and an update, core content remains unaltered. For correction, I met the introduction only once, not twice, as inaccurately detailed below.

Lara's enthusiasm, vibrancy and intuition leads to a superb Client service and she is an absolute pleasure to deal with.
Highly recommended.

I've met Lara right before opening her agency, and ever since she's been stellar with her service. I got to interact with her team a bit as well, and all's been nothing but a pleasure.

The cost can be a bit peppery but if you're serious about dating (and if you're a busy person with limited time), you're actually saving money by not wasting your time with loads of scams, catfishing and low-level dates on those usual dating apps.

The Matchmaker UK is a fantastic service, offering a truly personal service with quality introductions. The dates that I went on were great and I had many things in common with the women that I was introduced to. I would highly recommend using this boutique service if you're looking for that special someone.

I can and only praise & thank Lara and her wonderful team at The Matchmaker. Not only is Lara very professional and very approachable but Lara is an expert in what she does. Dating in the 21st century is not a very fun experience, it’s actually quite horrible, the dating apps and sites are no place for the faint hearted! Lara took all this pain away from me!
Lara really made a lot of effort for me and listened to what I was looking & hoping for. Lara gave me good and frank advice and searched high and low for me. After a few good possible introductions I think Lara hit the nail on the head! I believe I’ve found the one. Fingers cross, and watch this space :)

Extremely professional service

Lara has been very helpful with every step of my journey and couldn’t fault my experience. Would highly recommend!
