Top 3 Winnipeg Matchmaking Services [+2024 Cost!]

Single in the Canadian Prairies? Working with a professional matchmaker in Winnipeg is one of the easiest ways to meet compatible singles — they’ve already pre-screened your dates for you!

But with so many matchmakers out there, narrowing down your options can be tricky. 

That’s why our team has designed this quick guide to help singles find the best matchmaker for them in Winnipeg. We’ve been in the industry since 2009, so we’re intimately familiar with what clients value most in a service!

Let’s get started with…

Enamour

With an exclusive, “invitation-only” database of exceptional singles and seasoned matchmaking team, Enamour offers a white glove experience for accomplished and selective Winnipeg singles.

Cost & Contract 

Enamour offers an array of packages that can be tailored to fit an individual’s requirements. Service begins around $20,000 for a 6-month search.

What To Expect

The first step is a complimentary initial consultation. Enamour is as selective about who they take on as clients as they are about who they allow in the database! If the service seems like a good fit, you’ll be paired with a dedicated personal matchmaker. 

During an informational interview, she’ll learn all about your lifestyle, relationship goals, matchmaking criteria, dealbreakers, etc. All of these details will be used to source highly compatible matches.

The search begins within Enamour’s curated database, but it also extends far beyond that. Using recruiting technology as well as an extensive network of scouts, candidates are sourced from a variety of offline and online sources.

Each potential match is rigorously vetted – in person or via video call. A profile, including photos, of matches who pass the screening process will be presented to you for approval. 

Dates can be arranged for you, and after each introduction your matchmaker will check in with both of you to gather feedback and insights. 

Enamour offers a range of services designed to complement the matchmaking process, including dating and relationship coaching, personal styling, professional photography, and more.

Camelot Introductions (by Lianne Tregobov)

Founded in 1994 by Lianne Tregobov, Camelot Introductions matches singles in The Prairies. Like Enamour, this Winnipeg matchmaking service is selective about who they take on as a client. 

Cost & Contract

Camelot Introductions offers two ‘match process’ tiers. A Standard Match Process starts around $1,260 and the Prestige Match Process begins around $10,500 and searches can last up to 1 year.

What To Expect

The process starts with an initial consultation, where you can share your partner expectations, relationship goals, etc. 

Every potential client undergoes a vetting process, which includes a criminal record check and applicant interview. This in-person interview is an opportunity to tell your matchmaker what’s most important to you. It’s also when you will choose a ‘match process’ membership.

Depending on your membership, your matchmaker will either search their database for potential matches, and/or develop an advertising campaign to source candidates. They will contact you on a Monday or Tuesday evening to read a potential match’s profile over the phone. 

If you agree to connect with the potential match, and the interest is mutual, your matchmaker will exchange phone numbers. Then you’ll call your match and the two of you can get to know each other and decide if you want to meet in person. 

Standard clients can speak to an unlimited number of matches over the phone, but only 5 “introductions” are included in the package. Meeting a match in person is considered an introduction.

VIDA Select (by Scott Valdez)

Scott Valdez founded VIDA Select in 2009, and since then he and his matchmaking team have helped thousands of singles find their perfect match. Thanks to taking a modern approach to matchmaking, VIDA’s team leverages the single largest source of Winnipeg singles there is!

Cost & Contact

VIDA takes a slightly different approach to memberships. Rather than requiring a multi-month, long-term contract, packages are offered on a month-to-month basis. 

Basic matchmaking services begin at $1195 per month, with Premium packages starting at just $1795 per month. Elite options begin at $2595 per month.

The cost of your package highly correlates with the number of hours your personal matchmaker will spend on your search, given factors such as the geographic scope, complexity of criteria, etc. 

On average, clients meet someone special within just 3 months of beginning service. 

What To Expect

After passing a quick screening process, you’ll be invited to book a complimentary consultation to learn more about the service. If it’s a good mutual fit, you’ll then have an in-depth discussion with your dedicated matchmaker.

During this interview, you’ll discuss everything from your lifestyle, hobbies, and interests to your relationship goals, matchmaking criteria, and deal breakers. 

Once your matchmaker understands all your ideal partner criteria, the search for compatible singles is on! You’ll have the opportunity to approve every potential match, based on a full profile and photos. 

VIDA also offers a wide range of additional services, from personal styling and dating coaching to professional photography and image consulting.
