Jamie Rose founded Rose Matchmaking in 2007 after working for other matchmakers and disagreeing with their methods. She's been matchmaking since she was 16 years old.

As she told Voyage Houston, she built her business by respecting clients, working to the best of her abilities, and being as helpful as possible.

Rose emphasized understanding each client's criteria while helping them maintain realistic expectations. In her words, matchmakers need to be in tune with clients, understand their criteria, make sure they're realistic, guide them as they meet new people, and help them understand what a healthy relationship looks like.

Rose Matchmaking operated from a Houston office at 405 Main Street, Suite 525.

The Process

Prospective clients underwent a background check and a three-hour interview with Jamie Rose or a team member. After signing a contract, the team created a profile for you, which included investing in professional photos.

Paying clients were matched with each other from the Rose Matchmaking database, which typically contained 200–500 members aged 21 to 82. The matchmaking team, aided by an algorithm, identified compatible matches.

You reviewed profiles of potential matches, and they reviewed yours. When both people said "yes," contact information was exchanged.

Singles Events

Rose Matchmaking hosted members-only mixer events in Houston and Dallas. Events Coordinator Renee Edd organized creative gatherings—from Easter egg hunts to hypnosis parties and zombie escape rooms.

As Edd told Dating Advice, she'd try anything because a crazy theme really opens people up and gives them an automatic icebreaker.

These events allowed matchmakers to make introductions and observe how singles interacted, providing opportunities for real-time feedback and coaching.

Additional Services

Jamie Rose also offered image consulting and date coaching, which could take place during singles events.

Rose Matchmaking worked with both men and women as paying clients. Packages ranged from $2,750 to $15,000+.

Pricing varied based on the number of introductions desired, how specific your criteria were (affecting search difficulty), whether you wanted matchmakers to scout externally versus pulling from the database only, and contract length.

Note: These prices reflect pre-merger offerings. Current pricing under LUMA Luxury Matchmaking differs—LUMA packages range from $15,000 to $200,000+.
