Best Matchmakers For Charlotte Singles [Cost And Reviews!]

The 5 best Charlotte matchmakers range from $1,595/month (VIDA Select) to $250,000+ (Perfect 12). Top options include VIDA Select for budget-conscious flexibility, East Coast Match and Eli Simone for mid-range professional service ($9,000-$20,000), and Enamour and Perfect 12 for premium white-glove experiences ($20,000-$250,000+).

Report Methodology: The Weighted Review Score combines ratings from Trustpilot, Yelp, and Google, weighted by the number of reviews on each platform. To ensure reliability, services with fewer than 10 total reviews receive a confidence adjustment: 10+ reviews (full weight), 5-9 reviews (90% weight), 2-4 reviews (80% weight), and single reviews (70% weight). For instance, if a service only has a single 5-star review, their weighted score would be 3.5 stars. This prevents services from ranking artificially high based on limited feedback and provides a more accurate comparison based on client experiences. Last Updated: 11/08/2025

VIDA Select (by Scott Valdez)

If you want an elite matchmaker who can access Charlotte’s largest pool of singles, look no further than VIDA Select. Founded in 2009, VIDA goes beyond traditional matchmaking, using both advanced technology and data analysis to identify your most compatible matches!

Clientele

Typically professional, successful singles seeking “The One”

Cost

Monthly matchmaking packages start at $1,595. There is also a "90-Day Match Guarantee" package that provides a minimum of 5 curated matches you personally approve for $5,750. Guaranteed results, or the search continues at no additional cost.

With an 82% success rate, clients typically meet someone special in just 3 months.

What To Expect

VIDA’s elite matchmaking service isn’t for everyone, so your journey starts with a complimentary screening call to find out if this is the best service for you.

Once you become a client, you’ll have an interview with your dedicated matchmaker where you’ll discuss your idea of a perfect partner, your relationship and dating goals, etc.

You’ll be presented with potential matches who tick every box on your ‘must have’ sheet, and you’ll be able to pre-screen each person. You’ll review photos and a full profile, so you don’t have to worry about awkward first dates with someone who isn’t compatible with what you’re looking for.

One of the things that sets VIDA’s matchmaking service apart from other elite matchmakers is the ability to pay as you go.

With monthly packages, you can date on your terms. It’s easy to pause or stop service if you want to focus on a promising relationship, take an extended vacation or business trip, or simply take some time off dating. Just start up again as soon as you’re ready to meet more high-quality Charlotte singles!

Dating coaching, image and style consulting, pro photography

Exclusive Matchmaking (by Susan Trombetti)

Unlike Carolinas Matchmaker, Exclusive Matchmaking isn’t based in Charlotte. Susan Trombetti runs her elite matchmaking service out of Maryland, but she’s got a presence in Charlotte, as well as other major cities across the US.

Prior to becoming a professional matchmaker in 2011, she worked in the investigative field. She says those skills come in handy as a “relationship investigator” as well.

Clientele

Trombetti’s service is geared toward successful executives, and she says she often works with celebrities as well.

Cost

$7,500 - $250,000+

What To Expect

Women don’t have to pay for matchmaking services; they can have a profile placed in Trombetti’s database for free, and are subject to a one-time interview fee if a suitable match is ever located.

Both men and women can purchase a membership after having a consultation. The interview fee is $350 if it’s via phone or video chat, or $550 if it’s face-to-face.

If you happen to be a guy under 33, you’re eligible for the “Exclusive Introductions” package. It’s less than the $7,500 starting point for singles over 32.

Otherwise, the matchmaking packages can range north of $250,000, depending on individual factors like match criteria, scope of search, etc.

As a member, you’ll meet Charlotte singles from the database, and like most matchmaking services you’ll have the opportunity to check in afterward. Coaching is available if needed, and your feedback can also help improve the quality of your next introduction.

Additional Services

Dating coaching, background checks

Perfect 12 (by Simona Fusco)

Founded in 2005 by Simona Fusco, this national matchmaking service is based on the West Coast - LA, to be exact. But this former actor/model turned matchmaker works with “elite” clients in major cities around the US, and has a presence in Charlotte as well.

Clientele

Perfect 12 is very much a boutique service. Fusco takes on only a limited number of men and women at a time, typically uber successful and seeking a serious relationship.

Cost

$60,000 - $250,000 annually

What To Expect

Women have the option to join as “Affiliates,” meaning you’ll have a profile in Fusco’s database but that’s the extent of your personal service. You may be matched with paying clients, you may not.

Paid matchmaking packages are available to both men and women, and starts with paying the $1,250 interview fee. As a member you’ll be introduced to singles from the 200,000(ish) in Perfect 12’s database, or with other clients. Fusco’s matchmaking team may also scout for compatible singles in Charlotte.

Perfect 12 review

All matchmaking services have some type of initial consultation. Some do it over the phone or a platform like Skype, others prefer a face-to-face meeting.

But the prep work on your end should be the same. Invest some time thinking about what type of matchmaking service you want, so you can hire one that suits your needs.

VIDA Select allows you to pay each month, but most matchmaking services require signing a contract. And typically you’ll pay the entire amount up front. As you can see from this Charlotte matchmaker’s guide, that can be a large financial investment.

Here are 2 ways to ensure you're making the best choice for you!

#1: Ask The Right Questions

Here are 5 crucial questions you need to ask before signing a matchmaking contract:

Finding out if a company has done business under a different name, or if it’s part of a “parent” operation that runs similar services in multiple cities and even states is essential.

According to the investigative team at Fox 46, there have been several matchmaking services in Charlotte that received a “vast” amount of customer complaints, then closed. Only to have a similar matchmaking service open at a nearby location.

Thus far, we haven't been able to tie ownership together, but it seems really coincidental. Many of these dating services operate under "high-pressure sales."

B.B.B. of the Southern Piedmont President Tom Bartholomy

#2: Take Whatever Time You Need To Fully Understand The Contract

According to Bartholomy, some matchmaking services that market themselves to Charlotte singles are headquartered just over the border in cities like Fort Mill, South Carolina.

North Carolina law allows for three days to reconsider and cancel. South Carolina law doesn’t.

"That’s probably the primary reason that this company, these types of companies, set up shop in South Carolina, right across the state line and then prey on people in North Carolina," Bartholomy said in an interview.

Once you’ve signed that contract, you’re committed and have virtually no recourse if you don’t end up being happy with the service provided.

That’s why it’s essential to understand what the matchmaker is promising to provide, which is where those 5 questions you just read about come in handy.

Internet reviews can help you get a general idea of how a company operates, but don’t just hit up Yelp or Google Reviews. Dig a bit deeper! The Attorney General’s Office for whichever state the matchmaking service is headquartered in is a smart move, as is consulting the Better Business Bureau.

Those agencies, as well as local news stations like Fox 46 often conduct their own independent investigations into complaints. Whereas review sites like Yelp generally post unverified reviews. That means a matchmaking service could conceivably post its own fabricated positive reviews, or trash the competition.

Take what you read there with a grain of salt, and do your own research - that’s the best way to ensure you’re hiring a matchmaking service that will be a good investment rather than a source of expensive frustration.
