Alessandra Conti, Matchmakers In The City
The Los Angeles area attracts a fair share of celebrity matchmakers.
You may recognize Alessandra Conti from MTV’s matchmaking reality series Are You The One? Conti's sister Cristina Conti co founded the company. Based in Beverly Hills, this elite matchmaking service also helps singles dating in Santa Monica.
Clientele
Matchmakers In The City works with both men and women as paying clients. Generally, successful professionals looking for long-term relationships.
Cost
$5,300 - $25,000+
Contract Required
Yes
What To Expect
The matchmaking process depends on what type of membership you purchase.
To be passively matched with paying members, you can apply to have your personal profile added to the Conti sisters’ internal database. That costs $100, and you’ll only be contacted in the event you happen to meet someone else’s match criteria.
For introductions to matches who meet your specific criteria, you’ll need a Priority Membership. Those run from $5,300 to over $25,000, with the final cost depending on the details laid out in your contract.
As a paying client, you’ll discuss your ideal partner criteria with the matchmaking team. They will find profiles from the database meeting that description.
Your personal matchmaker arranges the date details, and also provides post-date feedback and critiques. If needed, you can purchase additional dating coaching sessions ($200/hour or $100/30 minutes).

Clientele
Beyer and her matchmaking team work with men as paying clients. They also offer relationship and dating coaching to both men and women. The men who use her matchmaking service are generally professionals in their late 30s to mid 50s. The women in her match database are 25-60.

At the $799 monthly price point, it gets written for you. The most expensive package level includes “personal representation” from a matchmaker, as well as a pro photoshoot.

Patti Stanger, Millionaire’s Club
One of LA’s most well-known celebrity matchmakers, Patti Stanger introduced the concept of high-end matchmaking to the masses. You've probably seen - or at least heard of - her popular reality TV series The Millionaire Matchmaker. Millionaire’s Club calls Marina Del Ray home, but she has a national presence.
Clientele
Stanger generally works with millionaires as paying clients, both male and female.
Cost
$45,000 - $100,000+
Contract Required
Yes
What To Expect
If you don’t happen to be a millionaire, you can see if you’ve got what it takes to be in Stanger’s exclusive database. Submitting your profile for consideration is free, and if you pass you’ll be included in her digital rolodex of around 30,000 potential matches.
To come on board as a paying client with a dedicated search done on your behalf, the minimum investment starts at $45,000. And depending on the level of “VIP” treatment you’d like, that number can top out at $100,000.
Stanger also offers an array of “add-ons” that runs between $20,000 and $35,000, like working with Stanger directly. Membership packages generally include 12 months of matchmaking services, and up to 2 months of “hold” time, all paid up front before your service starts.
Celebrity status aside, Stanger is a traditional matchmaker. Paying clients review potential matches from her digital rolodex, and the date commences when both parties express interest.
Stanger also offers both dating coaching and image consulting services.
