Julie Bekker, Love Boss Matchmaking
After working with elite matchmaker Janis Spindel for almost a decade, Julia Bekker started her own matchmaking service, Hunting Maven, in NYC.
Part of the Hunting Maven brand, Bekker launched Love Boss Matchmaking in South Florida, with affiliated matchmakers in West Palm Beach and Miami.
Clientele
Bekker’s elite matchmaking service typically works with affluent, successful men. Women can submit a profile for screening. If selected, they will be considered as a potential match for paying male clients. There is no fee for women to be placed in the database.
Cost
$15,000 - $30,000 for 6 or 12 months of matchmaking service. (There is also a “single introduction” option.)
Contract Required
Yes.
What To Expect From Love Boss Matchmaking
Women can apply to be “Candidates” via the Love Boss Matchmaking website. If you’re accepted, your profile will be shown to paying male clients if you seem like a compatible match.
Potential male clients can also fill out the online questionnaire, and a Love Boss matchmaker will schedule a consultation to discuss the process and get an idea of what sort of woman you’d like to meet.
If you come on board as a paying client, you’ll sign a contract and then be matched with “Candidates” from the database, or who have been located via Bekker’s network of matchmaking contacts.
The dates are all arranged for you, and you’ll get the chance to discuss how things went with your matchmaker afterward. Love Boss Matchmaking also offers additional dating coaching and image consulting services.

April Davis, LUMA Luxury Matchmaking
LUMA Luxury Matchmaking isn’t strictly a Palm Beach dating agency - they’re actually a national matchmaking service headquartered in Minneapolis, MN with offices around the country. South Florida locations include Boca Raton and Miami.
Clientele
April Davis and her matchmaking team take on both men and women as paying clients, generally professional singles in their late 20s and up.
Cost
$5,000 - $50,000+ depending on the contract length & search parameters. Having your profile added to LUMA’s database for potential matching is free, however you may never be paired with a paying client.
Contract Required
Yes.
What To Expect From LUMA Matchmaking
Potential clients can fill out LUMA’s online questionnaire. You’ll be invited to have an initial consultation by phone to talk about the personal matchmaking service.
If you decide to sign the contract, the matchmaking process works just a bit differently than Love Boss Matchmaking. Your matchmaker will find matches in the database who want to date in the Palm Beach area, then screen for the singles who are most compatible with what you’re seeking.
Those matches will be further screened by your matchmaker. You’ll then be able to either express interest in or pass on at least 3 of them. If the two of you find you have chemistry, you can exchange numbers during the date.
LUMA also offers dating coaching for an additional fee.

Once you’ve met a particular match, you can follow up with your matchmaker to let her know how you think it went, and your perceptions as to the level of compatibility.
If needed, Trombetti may suggest the dating coaching program her matchmaking company offers. She can also create a “dating action plan” with customized advice.
