That's great to hear, Charles! Every client begins their matchmaking journey from a unique position. Some have been on all the apps with no luck; some haven't been on a first date in decades. No matter where you are in your dating journey, The Matchmaking Company is here to help you meet compatible, relationship-minded individuals (and to have fun doing it!).

Unless your young & pretty forget it!

I have been with Matchmaking over 2 years. I have met 3 men that weren’t anything like what I asked for. I met one that was possible but he had no interest in me. So no second dates. I also had 3 that decided after one short conversation they didn’t think we were a match. Isn’t that Matchmaking job?! Because of Matchmaking I have decided I’m better off alone.

Becky, I'm so sad to hear you're feeling this way about your matchmaking journey. I want to encourage you to not give up. Our team is here to support you in pursuing your relationship goals.

Things like height, hair, and body type might be strong initial attractors for some, but they are not the traits that make a relationship last. Those things are lifestyle similarities, shared values, and deeper qualities that won't fade over time. We are committed to finding introductions with long-term potential that goes beyond superficial traits.

In the end, it worked out. I found a good match. Initially it was difficult to go through so many matches that felt like weren’t a good fit. But that’s expected when you trying to find the right fit.

The best way to date!!!!

It was so fabulous the way they gathered so much information about me. Very thorough.
They explained they did this with all customers.
No wonder they matched me with such good matches.
Many employees are helping throughout the process.
The background check was the best, not having to worry about that type of thing.
I’m a guy; but it is so important to ladies.

What makes my experience great is that it is fun and a happy meetup is next to certain since my matchmaking team does the preliminary work. From background check to financial status to actual 1st date advice my dating team has been accurate and helpful. I look forward to my next match

Abysmal

I signed up with Southwest Matchmakers (The Matchmaking Company) in mid-2022 after an uncomfortable high-pressure sales meeting with Ashlee. Despite my buyer’s remorse (over $6,000 later), I had high hopes and an open mind when I began my matchmaking journey. I can honestly say that after three years in this program, I would not, could not in good faith recommend this company to anyone. It has become very clear to me that there truly is no matchmaking involved in this company; it is purely the luck of the draw. I have repeatedly been matched not with individuals who meet my preferences, but with those who have just joined the program and are relatively in my age group. The pool is small; it is not sufficient to meet the hopes and desires of those who sign up for this service. I have met 11 people through this program over the past three years. Some (grown men, by the way) still lived with their parents, some were unemployed, some still did drugs recreationally… I was repeatedly matched with people who did not fit the age range, location, career type, or life goals that I desired. After a few matches, I began to dread receiving calls from Southwest Matchmakers, wondering what kind of person they were going to offer me next, what I would be settling for this time. I have been putting off writing this review despite my poor experiences, selfishly to avoid possible retaliation or to miss out on someone who COULD potentially be a match for me, but I cannot, in good conscience, stay quiet about this company anymore. Southwest Matchmakers is a great idea, in theory, and a true disappointment in reality.

Logan, thank you for your honest feedback. We completely hear you on why you’re feeling frustrated, and your experience matters to us. Please know we’ve genuinely been working hard behind the scenes to find someone who’s a great fit. Matchmaking isn’t always immediate, as we’re working within the realities of timing and availability, but our goal is always to deliver quality introductions with real potential.

We’ve been taking your feedback from past introductions seriously, and it’s helping us fine-tune the search. We’d rather take the time to find someone we believe you’ll truly connect with, rather than introduce you to matches that don’t align.

We’ll continue to stay in touch with updates, and we truly appreciate your patience as we move forward. To ensure we’re fully aligned, your Matchmaker will be reaching out to update your profile and confirm we have everything needed to continue selecting thoughtful introductions.

“Consider this your warning

“Consider this your warning: some lessons cost more than money.”
Thank God I didn’t hand over my credit card. The Matchmaking Company invited me in for an “intake session” that felt more like a sales pitch. The rep seemed friendly at first, praising my character and saying she was a great judge of people (bait). But when I asked about costs and said I wanted to research before committing, she snatched the brochure from my hands and rudely showed me the door.
Think about it: would you buy a car by giving your credit card first and asking questions later? Of course not. Any company that pushes you to pay before proving their value—and kicks you out for asking questions—is not worth your trust.
Afterward, I researched them myself: most reviews (around 85%) were negative. In the office, I only saw glowing five-star reviews. The truth seems carefully hidden—at least until they’ve charged your card.

Hi John, thank you for sharing your perspective. We understand that visiting our office for an intake session can feel intense, and we want to clarify that our goal is always to provide full transparency about our matchmaking process. The session is meant to answer questions, explain our services in detail, and help prospective clients determine if our program aligns with their goals. We never require anyone to commit on the spot, and we encourage everyone to research and consider their options before making a decision. We appreciate your feedback and will continue working to make the intake experience as clear and comfortable as possible.

Finally update: 8/21/2025

After my last update, the company reached out yet again. This time, they offered me $1,000—but only if I signed an NDA and updated my review. In other words, they wanted me to lie or hide my true experience in exchange for money. I refused and responded that the only fair resolution would be a full refund. Immediately after, they withdrew their $1,000 offer and sent me a threatening email.

At this point, it is clear this company is more concerned with controlling their online reputation than actually providing the service people paid thousands of dollars for. Instead of accountability, they resort to intimidation and manipulation. This is not how an ethical business operates.

I am leaving this update so future customers know exactly what they are walking into. My experience has been nothing but dishonesty, pressure tactics, and threats.

———————————————————————

Update 2: 8/19/2025!

After leaving my initial review below, the company reached out to me directly and offered $300 worth of “personal dating coaching” if I updated or removed my review. This raises serious concerns about the authenticity of the reviews posted here, since customers are being incentivized to alter their feedback. Reviews should reflect genuine experiences—not be influenced by payments or offers. I believe it’s important for others considering this service to be aware of this practice.

———————————————————————

Negative 1 mil!

I signed up with this matchmaking company in October 2023 with high hopes of finding a meaningful connection—ideally, my soulmate. Unfortunately, this experience has been extremely disappointing and feels more like dealing with used car salespeople than professionals genuinely interested in helping people find love.

They made all kinds of promises just to get me to sign up and take my money, but none of them were fulfilled. I’ve had seven so-called “matches”—each one completely incompatible and nowhere near the criteria I clearly outlined from the beginning.

One match was recently divorced, still referring to his ex-wife as “his wife,” and openly shared that he was dealing with an addictive personality. While he claimed to be sober, he also casually talked about smoking weed at age 45—hardly the stable, emotionally available partner I asked for.

What’s worse, the company is unresponsive—they rarely answer phone calls or follow up with care or intention. It’s clear they’re not invested in actually helping their clients.

This has been a complete waste of time and money. I strongly advise others to think twice before signing up. What they sell is a fantasy—not a service based on truth, care, or integrity.
