Perfect 12 Matchmaking Reviews [Best Beverly Hills Matchmaker?]

Beverly Hills matchmaker Simona Fusco's Perfect 12 charges $60,000-$250,000 annually ($2,500 initial consultation) for elite matchmaking serving 100 clients maximum at a time, with women in the database screened to be "12s on a scale of 1-10" for beauty, intelligence, education, and financial independence.

Founded in 2008 by former model/actress who personally handles each client, the service claims 90% success rate with 4.1-star Yelp rating (15+ reviews) and 3.7-star Google rating (9 reviews), offering free database membership or three premium levels (Gold, Platinum, Carte Blanche) plus coaching and concierge services.

Simona Fusco wears a lot of hats. She’s been acting and modeling since she was 8, and has appeared in magazines like Esquire. You may even recognize her as the “Hot Girl” in TV’s Entourage.

But if you’re thinking of hiring Perfect 12, you probably don’t care how beautiful she is - you care if her service can deliver results. That’s why you’re looking for Perfect 12 matchmaking reviews, right?

Disclaimer: This review was researched and written by VIDA Select's editorial team to help singles determine the right service for their needs and goals. As a matchmaking service ourselves, we bring a unique industry perspective. Our insights come from 17+ years of matchmaking experience, writing 200+ matchmaking service reviews, analyzing public information including reviews on reputable platforms, and feedback from clients who used other services before hiring VIDA. While this review is updated regularly, it may not reflect the latest public data or current pricing.

This boutique matchmaking service is headquartered in Beverly Hills, but Fusco works with clients all over the US and Canada, ranging from Buffalo, NY to Raleigh, NC and Edmonton, Alberta.

She only brings on a limited number of paying clients each year, typically no more than 100 at a time, and claims to work with each of them personally.

She launched Perfect 12 in 2008, after having gotten into several long-term relationships via a matchmaking service.

But she shared in an interview that she found matchmakers would focus on “quantity over quality” leading her to start an agency with a more personal touch.

“You would be shoved off to some junior matchmaker and get lost in the shuffle. As a former client of matchmakers myself, I would often be severely disappointed that the men they matched me with had absolutely nothing in common with me.”

When Forbes asked what differentiates Perfect 12 from other matchmakers, Fusco replied, 

“Perfect 12 is a physical agency. We are therefore able to pay particular attention to the individual needs of each client. I only take on a limited number of clients per year in order to optimize the quality of my service and my clientele.”

Perfect 12 claims to have a 90% success rate, but they are also very picky about who they accept as members.

Who Are You Meeting?

Fusco explains that Perfect 12's client list consists of successful, high-caliber singles - from models and celebrities to entrepreneurs and hedge fund managers.

And when it comes to their database, their tagline claims they are called Perfect 12 because “on a scale of 1 to 10, our women are a 12”. So, what makes their women a “perfect 12”?

In an interview with Marco Derhy, Fusco describes what makes a woman right for their database of singles:

“Physical beauty is essential for a woman to become a member of Perfect 12; however, a Perfect 12 offers much more than just a pretty face. She is intelligent, well-educated, sophisticated, classy, financially independent and successful in her own right.”

But as a paying client your search isn't just limited to the database. Fusco has said she'll “scour all of the US for my clients to find that special someone.”

So how much will the search cost you?

Matchmaking packages start at $60,000 annually for a local membership. Packages with a broader geographical search range up to $250,000 annually.

Singles can join Perfect 12 either as paying clients or a database member. The first step is filling out a consultation form. You’ll provide basic contact information, upload 3 photos, and also share details like your height and weight.

Once you’ve submitted the form, a representative will be in touch to schedule a consultation to see if you qualify for membership.

If so, you’ll spend 20 to 30 minutes filling out an online profile form, which will then be added to Perfect 12’s nationwide database.

As a free member, there are no guaranteed matches - you’ll only be matched with paying members when you meet their criteria.

The first step to becoming a paying member is filling out a similar contact form, where you’ll provide contact information, upload a photo, and answer a few basic background questions.

Next, you’ll have an initial consultation with Fusco. As she mentioned in an interview, that costs around $2,500. If it seems like a good fit, you can then choose from three levels of service:

• Gold
• Platinum
• Carte Blanche

The matchmaking service offers several other personal services as well, from coaching and concierge date planning to relationship and image consulting. A licensed broker, Fusco also offers real-estate services for clients.

Perfect 12 doesn’t have many online reviews.

This luxury LA matchmaking service has a 4.1-star rating on Yelp, based on 15+ reviews.

Many of the 5-star reviews were from women who had profiles included in her database, and reported a positive experience meeting Perfect 12 clients.

This 5-star reviewer praised the quality of her matches in her original 2018 review, then updated it in 2021 to say she was approaching her 3-year anniversary with one of them:

A few male clients also left glowing Perfect 12 reviews, like this man who said he appreciated their advice and the carefully vetted matches:

There were also a few 1 & 2 star Perfect 12 reviews on Yelp. One of them was from a woman who expressed frustration about being told they had no matches for her:

There are quite a few more “not currently recommended” Perfect 12 reviews, the majority of which were positive.

Perfect 12 Introductions has a 3.7-star rating in Google, this one based on 9 reviews.

Some were similar or identical to reviews left on Yelp, but there were a few different ones as well. This client said that he met women who fit what he was looking for:

And this reviewer had a positive experience working with Fusco:

The handful of negative Perfect 12 reviews did not appear to be from people who had actually tried the service.

There are plenty of elite matchmaking services that cater to professional LA singles, so it’s a point in Simona Fusco’s favor that she’s been in business for so long. If you’ve got the budget, she may be a great option for you.

But if you want to investigate more affordable choices - or you’re simply uncomfortable signing a contract and paying up front for an as-yet-untested service, why not add a matchmaking service like VIDA Select to your list of options?

Whether you’re looking for the cream of the crop in LA, or you want to meet the highest quality people in other cities, VIDA’s matchmakers know exactly how to leverage the largest source of eligible singles in the world.

And you get the convenience of paying by the month, instead of having to commit to a long-term contract. No worries about paying for time you won’t actually require! The average VIDA client starts feeling those sparks fly within the first few months of signing up.
