Which dating agency offers the most contract flexibility?

VIDA Select is one of the only major matchmaking services offering month-to-month packages ($1,595+) without long-term contracts. Most other premium services require substantial commitments up front: Serious Matchmaking uses 12-month contracts with $65,000+ signing fees, Kelleher International requires 1-3 year agreements, and Linx Dating requires 24-month commitments. VIDA also offers a Results Guarantee Package which 5+ matches in 90 days for $5,750, or the search continues at no additional cost.

Do dating agencies work with both men and women as paying clients?

Service policies vary significantly by gender. VIDA Select, Enamour, Three Day Rule, and The Bevy accept both men and women as paying clients. However, many premium services like Serious Matchmaking, Selective Search, and Millionaire's Club primarily work with men as paying clients while women can join databases for free after screening.

What's the difference between database sizes and matching approaches?

Matchmaking services use vastly different approaches to finding matches. VIDA Select and Enamour both use technology to vastly extend their reach, while Kelleher International maintains 50,000+ profiles with global reach. Selective Search has 275,000+ affiliates across major US cities. Three Day Rule partners with dating sites like Match.com and OkCupid for broader access. Boutique services like The Bevy (25 clients max) and Ambiance focus on highly curated, smaller pools with intensive personal attention rather than volume.

How do upfront fees and success fees work with luxury matchmakers?

Most premium matchmakers require substantial upfront payments. Serious Matchmaking charges $65,000+ signing fees plus equal finder's fees if relationships succeed (dating 12+ months, engagement, cohabitation). Kelleher International requires full contract payment upfront for 1-3 years. Linx Dating charges consultation fees plus success fees for women entering exclusive relationships.
