There’s no doubt the modern dating scene can be challenging, especially when finding someone who shares your faith-based values is a priority. This guide to the best Mormon dating services, sites, and apps will make finding quality Mormon singles a lot easier!

Hiring a matchmaker is one of the most efficient ways to meet compatible LDS singles. That’s because you’re working with a professional who does all the legwork for you - everyone you meet is pre-screened to fit as many of your preferred criteria as possible.

Some matchmaking services specialize in helping Mormon singles exclusively, while other dating services excel at sourcing highly compatible matches for you to meet. 

Latter Day Matchmaker

Founded in 2010 by Amy Stevens Seal, Latter Day Matchmaker was originally known as “The LDS Matchmaker” but has since rebranded. This LDS dating service is headquartered in Sandy, and helps Latter-day Saint singles Utah, Idaho, and living around the world. 

How It Works

You can join as a Matchable Member for free by filling out a profile in their Little Black Book database. However, free members only get contacted if they meet a paying client's preferences—there's no guarantee you'll ever go on a date.

Men can purchase VIP matchmaking packages, which include introductions from the database plus targeted nationwide recruiting by Stevens Seal and her team.

The process starts with booking a Dating Strategy Session with their in-house dating coach. This consultation, which typically costs $375 (sometimes discounted to $275), also serves as a pre-qualification to determine eligibility for the service.

Pricing

VIP matchmaking packages start at $10,000. Latter Day Matchmaker also offers image consulting, professional photography, dating coaching, and personal styling.

Enamour

While not exclusively a Mormon dating service, Enamour's team performs exhaustive searches for highly compatible LDS singles based on your specific criteria.

How It Works

The search begins within Enamour's curated, invitation-only database of exceptional singles. But the approach is two-pronged—the team also uses recruiting technology and an extensive network of scouts to identify high-quality candidates from various sources, both online and offline.

Each potential match is vetted through an in-person or video interview. Your matchmaker focuses on understanding what matters most to you, then sends you a profile with photos of each candidate who passes screening. Dates are arranged on your behalf, and post-date feedback refines the search as needed.

Pricing

Enamour's matchmaking packages start around $20,000. The service also offers dating and relationship coaching, personal styling, image consulting, and professional photography.

VIDA Select

Founded in 2009, VIDA Select takes a modern approach to matchmaking that unlocks the largest source of eligible LDS singles available. With a presence in major cities around the world, VIDA has helped over 10,000 singles find their ideal partners.

How It Works

The process starts with a quick online screening, followed by a complimentary consultation with a matchmaking advisor. During this call, you'll share your lifestyle and what you're looking for in a partner, then select the package that best fits your search requirements.

Your dedicated personal matchmaker conducts an in-depth interview to understand your criteria, then identifies highly compatible LDS singles for you to meet. You review full profiles including photos before agreeing to any introduction.

Pricing

Unlike traditional matchmakers requiring large upfront payments, VIDA offers pay-as-you-go monthly packages. You can pause and restart your search as needed. Monthly matchmaking starts at $1595.

There is also a "90-Day Match Guarantee" option, which includes at least 5 highly curated matches you personally approve for $5,750. With an 82% success rate, VIDA clients typically meet someone special within 3 months.

Additional services include personal styling, image consulting, professional photography, and coaching.

If you prefer a hands-on approach and have time for swiping and messaging, dating apps offer another path to meeting Mormon singles. Here are the top platforms to consider.

Mutual Dating App

Claiming to be the #1 LDS dating app, Mutual was co-founded by BYU graduate Cooper Boice in 2016. The idea for an app to help LDS singles connect sparked when he moved from Utah to Arizona and found meeting people with similar views difficult.

Tiah Westover, the app’s Director of Marketing, explained their goal in an interview with KSL.com: 

Our mission as a company has been to create eternal marriages. It's a lofty goal, and everything that we do is in hopes of creating that environment where people who have similar goals and values are able to do those things.

Mutual does allow singles who are not members of the church to join, but offers a premium subscription that includes filters to screen for factors like frequency of church attendance and temple recommend worthiness.

As Westover puts it, 

[Non-Mormons] are welcome, but we do require you to uphold our community guidelines and standards, which are stricter than other apps.

Users can be banned for inappropriate behavior, whether on the app or in-person while meeting a Mutual match. Ban-worthy behaviors include sexting, nudity, alcohol or drug use, and in some cases, immodesty.

Users who don’t belong to the church may also be invited to meet with missionaries.

The Mutual dating app is available for iOS and Android Devices, and the first step is setting up your profile. You have to wait for Mutual to review your profile but they claim this process only takes a day. Then you can start searching for matches. 

How It Works

Simply swipe up if you are interested in someone, and if the interest is mutual, you’ll create a connection and messages can be exchanged.

Mutual also hosts live speed dating sessions where you can send someone a chat request and, if they accept, you’ll have a 5-minute timed conversation. When your time’s up, you two can “match” or politely pass on each other.

Once a week, users receive 1 free ticket for these speed dating sessions; however, “MutualUp” users have unlimited tickets.

You can use Mutual for free, or “MutualUp” by investing in a subscription. This will unlock a number of features such as seeing who likes you, advanced filters to screen your potential matches, video chats, unlimited daily swipes, read receipts, and more.

Pricing

A premium Mutual subscription costs $25 for a single month, $45 for 3 months, or $65 for 6 months. If you’re a student, you can opt for a 1-week subscription for $15.

LDS Singles

One of the more well known LDS dating sites, LDS Singles is owned by Spark Networks. That’s the same company that owns a host of other faith-based dating sites, including ChristianMingle.

How It Works

Joining LDS Singles involves completing a detailed profile that highlights your religious beliefs and practices, as well as your lifestyle. Users can search based on match percentage, who is online, and distance.

You can sign up and use LDS Singles online, or download the LDS Singles dating app on iOS and Android devices.

Pricing

It’s free to create an account. You can also browse potential matches, and see your suggested ones. But you’ll need to invest in a subscription to communicate with members, see who liked you, and access other features.

Memberships cost around $49.99 for 1 month, around $105 for 3 months, or around $150 for 6 months.

The Truth About Niche Dating Platforms

Choosing a dating app that’s specifically for Mormon singles might seem like the best way to meet like-minded LDS matches. 

But there is one potentially huge drawback to using any niche dating platform, whether it’s one centered around faith, or a lifestyle choice like being vegan or a digital nomad. 

The fact is, niche dating apps simply don’t draw in the same number of singles as more popular mainstream options like Hinge, Bumble and Match do. 

Remember, our team of experts has been in the dating business since 2009. We log into all the most popular dating apps daily on behalf of the clients we represent, and we’ve managed niche dating apps upon request as well.

While it is possible to successfully find your ideal partner, we know firsthand that it generally takes a lot longer to meet someone compatible. 

That’s because compatibility has to flow both ways for a match to be worth pursuing. Someone needs to fit your criteria, but you need to check all their boxes too. For that to happen consistently, the pool of users in your area needs to be as large as possible.

We recommend always using a more popular, mainstream dating platform in conjunction with a niche one. Here are two options we recommend for Mormon singles:

Bumble

Bumble is a good dating app for LDS singles for a number of reasons. It typically attracts people looking for a serious relationship, and only women can send the first message, so it’s more popular with women than apps like Tinder. 

How It Works

There’s also a baked-in time limit, which helps keep users engaged. When a match first forms, women need to send the first message within 24 hours. The response also needs to be sent within 24 hours, and if either of those two time limits aren’t met, the connection disappears.

You can also use the “Religion” filter to screen specifically for fellow church members, which will save you a ton of swiping time.

To access the match filters on Bumble, go to your match feed and tap the preferences icon at the top right of the screen. Select the “Advanced Filters” menu at the top, and select the religion filter. 

You’ll see both Mormon and Latter-day Saint as an option. Check the box(es), and make sure “Show other people if I run out” is toggled off if you’re only interested in meeting those who share your beliefs.

There is one caveat, though. Religion is considered an Advanced Filter on Bumble, which means you’ll need a Premium membership to unlock it.

Pricing

Bumble Premium is the middle level of the three paid memberships, with Bumble Boost and Bumble Premium+ being your other two options. Bumble Premium starts around $54.99 for 1 month.

You can use Bumble online, or download the app for iOS and Android.

Match

One of the most well-known dating sites out there, Match is particularly popular with singles in their mid-30s and up. 

It’s also a paid dating site, with no way to use it effectively for free. That cuts down on the number of fakes and flakes, and the people you’ll find there are more likely to be as invested in meeting someone as you are. 

How It Works

Like Bumble, Match has a “Religion” filter you can use to screen specifically for LDS singles.

To access it, tap the preferences icon in the top right menu bar, and scroll down to the ‘Background’ section. Open the menu options for “Religion” and select Christian/LDS. Toggle on “Dealbreaker” at the top of the screen, and you’ll only see fellow church members.

Pricing

Match costs around $40 per month, with pricing varying by location and what promotions are running at the time you sign up. 

You can use the online version, or download the Match mobile app for iOS or Android.
