Matchmaking service contracts span 1 to 3 years, and have an additional 12 months of “hold” time included.

Potential clients must pass the screening process. The next step is an initial consultation, where you’ll discuss what level of service you want, your match criteria, etc. 

If you decide to sign the contract and become a client, you’ll be matched with people from the Kelleher database of around 50,000 singles. These California matchmakers also scout for potential matches via their network, at events, etc., depending on your service level.
