Enamour

With a presence in major cities all around the world, Enamour is the perfect choice if you're seeking a highly tailored matchmaking experience that encompasses multiple cities.

Clientele

Enamour caters to accomplished, selective, and well-traveled singles, typically in their early 30s+.

Cost

Matchmaking packages begin around $20,000 USD.

What To Expect

As a client, you'll be matched with highly compatible, elite singles sourced from within Enamour's invitation-only database. But that's just the beginning.

Enamour's team also employs a blend of AI, recruiting technology, and an extensive network of scouts to pinpoint candidates from a variety of online and offline sources.

Each potential match is thoroughly vetted, with the screening process taking place either in person or via video call. When you approve a match, the introduction will be arranged for you.

After each date, your dedicated personal matchmaker will touch base with both you and your match. This feedback process allows her to tweak your search as necessary, and she'll also pass along any helpful insights obtained from your match.

Clients can also utilize complementary services such as personal styling, dating/relationship coaching, image consulting, and professional photography.

VIDA Select (by Scott Valdez)

VIDA Select offers matchmaking with a modern twist, helping singles find love in Dubai as well as other major cities all over the world. Using a combination of tech and human intuition, VIDA’s team of matchmakers leverage Dubai’s largest pool of eligible singles to find your perfect match. 

Clientele 

VIDA Select typically works with successful, career-minded men and women in their late 20s to early 60s.

Cost

Clients choose from an array of matchmaking packages offered at 3 different service levels. The cost of each package is highly correlated with the number of monthly hours required to accommodate your particular search parameters. Pricing also takes into account the selectivity of your match criteria, the number of locations you’d like included, and other factors. 

All matchmaking packages are paid month to month, with no long-term contract required. That means you can stop and resume your service as needed.

For Basic matchmaking, packages begin at $1195 USD per month. Premium matchmaking packages start at only $1795 USD per month, and Elite packages start at $2595 USD per month. On average, it takes just 3 months for clients to meet someone special!

What To Expect

Finding love in Dubai starts with a quick screening process to make sure you’re a good fit for VIDA Select’s matchmaking process (and vice versa). Next, you’ll have an in-depth interview with your personal matchmaker where she’ll get to know both you and your idea of an ideal partner. 

Once all the pieces are in place, the search for potential matches begins! You’ll have the opportunity to pre-approve every potential match, so you’ll only be meeting Dubai singles with true relationship potential. 

Elite Matchmaking (by Angelika Lancsak)

Elite Matchmaking isn’t strictly for Dubai singles. Angelika Lancsak founded her dating agency in Austria over 25 years ago and it is now headquartered in London. In 2002, she started offering emirati matchmaking. 

Clientele

Lancsak is a boutique matchmaker - according to an interview with Friday Magazine, she’s a “one-woman show.” She generally works with highly successful clients, with her roster including Russian oligarchs and Middle Eastern princes. 

As she explains on her website, she has “a global network with members of the European and Arabian aristocracy, the wealthy upper class as well as young and successful professionals.”

In her words, she works mainly with “cosmopolitan expatriates.”

Cost

2-year contracts start around $4,300 USD, with more expensive “VIP” options available.

What To Expect

Like many elite matchmakers, Lancsak considers herself a headhunter. But before taking on a client, she vets them through a series of in-depth interviews and phone calls/Skype chats.

In an interview with Gulf News, she shared that she gets multiple inquiries daily, but only takes on clients she knows she can help - around 5% of the people who apply. 

My success rate is 40 percent, which means the match ends in marriage or committed long-term relationships.

She does all the scouting herself, searching for matches who are compatible with each client’s requirements. Once she has found a potential match via her network, she will exchange contact information after both halves express interest.

Elite Vivaah (by Purvangi Shukla)

Like Lancsak’s matchmaking service, Elite Vivaah isn’t based in Dubai. Indian matchmaker Purvangi Shukla’s matrimonial service is based in Ahmedabad, but she works with clients in 14 countries around the world. Her database has around 2,000 single Indians from the UAE in it. 

Before launching her own matrimonial service in 2016, Shukla worked for some of the biggest elite matrimonial portals in India for 10 years. Elite Vivaah is also known as “Affluent Vivaah”. 

Clientele

Shukla helps singles who are looking for an Indian matchmaker in Dubai. 

Cost

Memberships start at Dh2,000 (around $550 USD) and last until you’ve found a match. 

What To Expect

Potential clients first sign up through the Elite Vivaah website and go through a screening process. You’ll then have a profile created in their database, and Shukla and her team will share profiles of compatible singles with you.

Shukla arranges the first meeting, and also follows up with your match if you’re not interested in a second date.

Macbeth Matchmaking (by Rossana De Blasi)

Macbeth Matchmaking takes on matchmaking clients from all over the world. This Swiss-based dating agency was co-founded by Carla De Blasi in 2012, and they have a presence in Dubai.

De Blasi said in an interview that 95% of her clients in the UAE are expats who stay in the country for less than 5 years.

But bespoke matchmaking is only one of the many services the parent company offers. The menu of options ranges from “luxury lifestyle management” to security, real estate and medical advisory service.

Clientele

Catering exclusively to “elite professionals,” Macbeth Matchmaking markets itself as a millionaire matchmaking agency for those with an exclusive lifestyle.

Cost

Contracts start at Dh22,000, and run between 12 and 24 months. Macbeth Matchmaking cost varies depending on whether you opt for local or international dating, and if you want to be considered as a match with any new members as they join.

What To Expect

As with most exclusive matchmaking services, you’ll be introduced to pre-screened matches from their internal database. But the process starts with filling out an online form, then completing a registration process that will allow the company to get to know you better. 

Once you’ve been presented with a list of compatible matches, you choose which ones you would like to date. After each meeting, you provide feedback to your matchmaker. There is no hard limit to the number of people you can meet during your contract period, and members can also attend singles meet-ups.
