THE FACE BEHIND ROSE MATCHMAKING Jamie Rose [/jamie-rose-matchmaker/] has been matchmaking long before she got into it professionally. She says she made her first match when she was just 16. She began her career working working for a few other matchmaking services, but says she didn't always agree with their approach. That's why she launched her own dating service, Rose Matchmaking, in 2007. As she told Voyage Houston [https://voyagehouston.com/interview/meet-jamie-rose-rose-matchmaking-galleria/]: “I think I got here today with my business by respecting my clients and working to the best of my abilities and just being as helpful as possible.” Jamie says she focuses on a client’s needs and expectations, but she also helps them to be realistic about healthy relationships. In her words: [https://voyagehouston.com/interview/meet-jamie-rose-rose-matchmaking-galleria/] “When working with a matchmaker I think they need to be in tune to the client. Understand what their criteria is, and make sure their client is realistic. Guide them along as they meet new people and help them to understand what a good healthy relationship is.” THE ROSE MATCHMAKING PROCESS This Texas matchmaking service has an office in Houston at 405 Main Street, Suite 525. Prospective clients undergo a background check and a three-hour interview with Jamie Rose or one of her team members. Once you’ve signed a contract, Jamie and her team will create a profile for you, which involves investing in pro photos. Paying clients are matched with each other, so your profile will be added to the Rose Matchmaking database. That typically has between 200 and 500 clients [http://www.outsmartmagazine.com/2017/09/a-perfect-match/] in it, ages 21 to 82. Then the matchmaking team, aided by an algorithm, will identify compatible matches. You’ll review the profiles of your potential matches, and vice versa. If both people say “yes” to the match, contact information is exchanged. Clients can also meet people at Rose Matchmaking members-only mixer events. Additionally, Jamie Rose offers image consulting and date coaching, which can take place in "real time" during the singles events. Hosted at venues around Dallas and Houston, they're designed to get singles talking over a challenge, new experience, or brain teaser. Activities range from Easter egg hunts to a hypnosis party to a zombie escape room. As she told Dating Advice [https://www.datingadvice.com/for-men/rose-matchmaking-connects-couples-and-hosts-quirky-singles-events]: > “I’ll try anything. A crazy theme really opens people up more and gives them an automatic icebreaker.” These events allow a matchmaker to make introductions and see how people interact with each other, which might lead to future feedback and coaching about a single’s dating behavior. HOW MUCH DOES ROSE MATCHMAKING COST? Jamie Rose takes on both men and women as paying clients, and her matchmaking packages range from $2,750 to $15,000+. Membership prices vary based on the number of introductions you’d like, how specific your “perfect match” list is (read: how hard it will be to find someone who checks all your boxes), whether or not you want the matchmakers to go out and “scout” for matches versus pulling them from the database, and the length of your contract.
