Clientele Successful professionals, usually in their late 20s to early 60s, looking for the love of their lives. Cost VIDA Select offers 3 levels of matchmaking service - Basic, Premium and Elite. Clients have a selection of packages to choose from at each level, with the price highly correlated with the total hours that should be devoted to your search each month. When selecting the right package for you, your matchmaker will consider things like how complex your "perfect match must haves" list is, as well as how many cities you'd like her to include in your search area. All packages are paid monthly, so there are n0 long-term commitments. Basic matchmaking packages start at $1195 a month, Premium packages begin at just $1795 a month and Elite options start at $2595 a month. What To Expect The first step is a free, low-pressure and confidential pre-screening. If you qualify, you’ll work with a dedicated matchmaker who will use a data-driven approach to identifying highly compatible matches. Clients enjoy unlimited matches, and pre-approve each one. That means you meet only singles you’re already attracted to - and who want to meet you! The average VIDA client begins an exclusive relationship with a match in the first couple months of service. Some clients find their “someone special” right away, with others the process takes a little longer. And thanks to the pay-by-the-month structure, you only pay for the time you want to meet new people - you can pause, stop, and start at any time. No long-term contracts!

After expanding and rebranding, LUMA now has offices throughout the United States, including nearby Denver and Boulder. Clientele This high-end matchmaking service works with professional, successful men and women. Cost $15,000 - $200,000+/commitment is outlined in your contract. Placing your profile in LUMA’s Colorado database is free, however you’re not guaranteed to be matched with any paying clients. To work with a matchmaker, you’ll need to purchase a Premium membership. The cost of the matchmaking service depends on the level of service you’d like, and other details that will be discussed during the consultation. What To Expect LUMA’s matchmakers have a slightly different process than many other matchmaking services. Rather than presenting matches one at a time, your matchmaker will identify up to 40 Colorado Springs singles who may meet your criteria. From that pool, she’ll narrow them down to the ones she’d like to interview in person, and from that group you’ll meet at least 3 of them. During the date, the two of you can swap numbers. Further Reading LUMA Luxury Match Reviews Apply Now How To Hire The Best Colorado Springs Matchmaker For YouThere are other Colorado Springs matchmakers who didn’t make this particular list, but maybe they’re on yours! As with any personal service that requires an investment of your money, time, and emotional energy, a little prep work before committing to an expensive, long term contract is essential. Starting with local review sites gives you a general overview of what you can expect, but keep in mind some reviews may not be verified. While many Yelp or Google reviews likely describe authentic customer experiences, false reviews by competitors or disgruntled employees aren’t outside the realm of possibility. Checking public records for pending or resolved lawsuits, or with state agencies like the Colorado Office of The Attorney General for any documented complaints and fraud reports is a savvy move. And if you opt to hire a matchmaking service which locks you into a contract, make sure you examine it carefully. A common industry tactic is the ‘hard sell’ during a face-to-face consultation, so mentally prepare for that beforehand. Then you won’t feel pressured to sign a legally binding document before you’ve had a chance to think about it. Take time to carefully consider what all the ‘legalise’ means! Matchmaking service contracts are often of the ‘endeavor to find’ variety. That means they guarantee only to look for compatible matches, not that you’ll meet people who actually match your screening criteria. So you may experience dates with matches who meet all, some, or none of your criteria. Get Answers Before You Sign The Contract Be crystal clear on what services you’re receiving in exchange for your hard-earned money. Ask questions like these: Can you approve/decline matches? If so, does a ‘declined’ match count against the total number your contract says will be provided? Are you guaranteed to receive matches who meet all your criteria? Or does the matchmaker merely promise to take your criteria into consideration when selecting people for you to meet? Does the matchmaker promise to deliver matches within a certain time frame? Or do you pay an initial sum of money for matches to be provided ‘as found’ - with no time frame specified? Has the matchmaking service ever operated under any other name? Do all paying clients pay the same amount for the same level of service? Or is pricing dependent on variables like your income and credit score? Keep in mind there is no real “right” or “wrong” answer to those questions. Decide before interviewing matchmaking services what answers - and budget - you’re comfortable with. Then stick to your decisions. If the answers you get seem evasive rather than straight forward, proceed with caution. Many (if not most) matchmaking services that require contracts do not offer refunds. So once you’re committed you have virtually no recourse if you’re unhappy with the services outlined in the contract you signed. Complaints like this one are all too common: Paying up front for matchmaking services you haven’t actually received yet may make you uncomfortable. If so, why not start with a modern matchmaking service like VIDA where you pay one month at a time, and can pause, re-start, and stop your service at any time?
