How much does VIDA Select cost compared to other matchmakers?

VIDA Select costs $1,595+/month with no long-term contract, while traditional matchmakers charge $20,000-$300,000 upfront for proactive searches outside their databases. Services like Selective Search and Kelleher International charge up to $300,000 for the same high-quality proactive search approach VIDA provides starting at just $1,595 monthly.

How does VIDA find matches differently than traditional matchmakers?

Traditional matchmakers limit searches to internal databases of hundreds to thousands of members. Unless paying $20,000+, you're matched only with existing clients, often resulting in "Why am I here?" dates. VIDA uses proprietary technology to search virtually unlimited online singles plus an extensive database, exponentially increasing compatible candidates who check all your boxes.

Can I see matches before meeting them with VIDA?

Yes, VIDA provides full profiles with photos for every potential match. You approve or decline each match before dates are arranged, ensuring you only meet singles who genuinely excite you. Traditional matchmakers often arrange blind dates or provide limited information, leading to awkward situations with incompatible matches.

How long does it take to find someone with VIDA Select?

For the average VIDA Select client, finding someone special takes about 3 months and happens within 11 dates. 82% of clients find relationships within this timeframe. This is possible because VIDA earns membership monthly rather than collecting payment upfront, maintaining motivation to find quality matches quickly.

Why don't traditional matchmakers do online searches?

Proactive online searches are time-consuming and require proprietary technology. Unless you're paying tens of thousands, traditional matchmakers skim their client roster for closest fits rather than conducting comprehensive searches. If no one fits, they ask you to reconsider criteria or match you with less-ideal candidates because they have no other choice.

How often will I hear from my VIDA matchmaker?

VIDA matchmakers contact clients regularly via text, email, or phone with consistent, meaningful communication and frequent progress updates. Traditional matchmakers have less motivation to communicate after receiving full upfront payment, whereas VIDA earns membership monthly by maintaining high satisfaction.
