Best Toronto Matchmakers [Top 8 Services For 2026!]

The 8 best Toronto matchmakers range from $50/match (Single In The City) to $500,000+ (Perfect 12). Top options include VIDA Select for access to quality matches and flexibility ($1,595+/month), Enamour for professionals ($20,000+), and Krystal Walter for prestige ($3,500-$25,000+). Most require annual contracts with varying match guarantees.

Report Methodology: The Weighted Review Score combines ratings from Trustpilot, Yelp, and Google, weighted by the number of reviews on each platform. To ensure reliability, services with fewer than 10 total reviews receive a confidence adjustment: 10+ reviews (full weight), 5-9 reviews (90% weight), 2-4 reviews (80% weight), and single reviews (70% weight). For instance, if a service only has a single 5-star review, their weighted score would be 3.5 stars. This prevents services from ranking artificially high based on limited feedback and provides a more accurate comparison based on client experiences. Last Updated: 1/31/2026

Enamour

The perfect option for Toronto singles looking for the best way to meet high-caliber matches, Enamour's team curates an invitation-only database of exceptional singles.

Clientele

Enamour caters to accomplished, selective singles, typically busy professionals in their late 20s+ and up.

Cost

Packages begin around $20,000 for a 6-month contract, with longer options available.

What To Expect

As a client, services are tailored to fit your specific requirements. The process begins when you're paired with your dedicated personal matchmaker. She'll connect with you on a call to discuss your match preferences, and she'll learn all about your lifestyle, goals, ambitions, relationship history, etc.

Armed with all that information, she'll start the search from within Enamour's exclusive database. But Enamour also takes the search for your ideal partner one step further, using recruiting tools and an extensive network of scouts to search high and low for candidates.

Potential matches are rigorously vetted, using a screening process that takes place in person or via video call. You'll have the opportunity to review a profile and photo array of those who pass. Enamour's team takes care of arranging the introductions, and after each first date your matchmaker will check in.

She'll also be in contact with your match, sharing any valuable insights she learns about your dating process with you.

Additional Services

Personal styling, relationship & dating coaching, image consulting, and professional photography.

 

VIDA Select (by Scott Valdez)

Founded back in 2009, VIDA Select's reach is international. But VIDA’s matchmakers aren’t just relying on an internal database. Instead, you’ll meet singles carefully selected from Toronto's largest dating pool.

Clientele

VIDA works with men and women of all ages, typically in their 30s to 60s. This modern matchmaking service is perfect for execs, entrepreneurs, investors and the like.

Cost

Monthly matchmaking packages start at only $1595/month. There is also a 90-Day Match Guarantee package which provides at least 5 matches you personally approve for $5,750. These results are guaranteed, or the search continues at no additional cost.

VIDA Select has an 82% success rate, with most clients meeting someone special in just 3 months days.

What To Expect

VIDA is the perfect blend of traditional and modern matchmaking. First you’ll have a short, complimentary phone call to see if VIDA is the right fit.

Next, you’ll have an interview where you can describe your relationship goals and your ideal partner, and you’ll choose which of VIDA’s pay-as-you-go packages fits your budget and schedule.

VIDA’s matchmakers use a powerful combination of the latest tech and data analysis to choose Toronto singles you’ll be instantly attracted to, which is one of the reasons clients typically meet someone incredible within 3 months of starting service.

And because clients pay by the month instead of committing to an extended, often year+ contract, you can stop service whenever you want to see where a relationship is headed! Or for any other reason, you have total flexibility to date on your schedule.

Additional Services

VIDA offers dating coaching, image and style consulting, and pro photography (including natural-looking retouching)

Shannon Tebb says she spent her early 20s pursuing an education in anthropology and sociology, but also playing matchmaker among her circle of friends and dispensing plenty of relationship advice along the way.

Divine Intervention (by Susan Semeniw)

With 15 years of experience in corporate sales and marketing and a long-standing passion for helping people find love, launching a matchmaking service in 2006 was a natural next step for Susan Semeniw.

Her boutique agency, Divine Intervention Matchmaking, is based in Vancouver and works with Toronto singles as well as clients in Edmonton and Calgary, offering high-end matchmaking and personalized date coaching for commitment-minded professionals.

Clientele

Most of Semeniw’s clients are 25 and older, and she specializes in working with successful single men and women from a wide range of backgrounds and careers.

Divine Intervention is a strong fit for:

• High-performing professionals and executives
• Entrepreneurs and business owners
• Creatives and thought leaders
• Toronto singles who value discretion, quality, and a premium matchmaking experience

Clients tend to be busy, accomplished, and relationship-ready, looking for an intentional alternative to dating apps and random introductions.

Cost

Varies by client:

• $5,500 – $50,000+ for a customized matchmaking search
• $3,500 – $15,000+ for tailored date coaching packages

1:1 coaching is available as individual sessions or as part of bundled programs, depending on your goals and the level of support you want.

A contract is required for matchmaking memberships and structured coaching packages.

What To Expect

Potential clients start with a quick, confidential discovery phone call to explore fit.

If the service appears to be a mutual match, the next step is to complete an in-depth, confidential profile. There will be a follow-up, post-profile assessment to determine the best dating strategy and whether matchmaking, date coaching, or a combination is the right approach for you. Every member is assessed individually for matchmaking eligibility.

Based on this conversation, Semeniw will put together a tailored membership package. Once you review and sign the contract, your membership begins.

As a Toronto client, you can expect to be introduced to curated Toronto singles from her internal database, while Semeniw’s team concurrently scouts locally and does outreach to identify additional high-potential matches.

Interested in meeting singles beyond Toronto? Her professional network of collaborators extends across the USA and internationally, allowing for cross-border matchmaking when appropriate.

Additional Services

Divine Intervention also offers a range of Date Coaching and Online Dating services, including:

• Private 1:1 date and relationship coaching
• Online dating profile makeover and refresh
• Online dating “takeover” / concierge programs

These services are designed for Toronto singles who want expert guidance in how they show up—both online and offline—and a more intentional path to long-term, compatible love.

Single In The City (by Laura Bilotta)

Laura Bilotta is a radio and TV personality, dating coach and author, and she runs one of Toronto’s largest event-based dating services. But if you’re over speed dating and mixers aren’t your thing, she’s also a personal matchmaker. She founded her service in 2002.

Clientele

Bilotta works with singles from all over the GTA, including Toronto, Burlington, Mississauga, Hamilton and Oakville. Most of her clients are professionals between 35 and 50 who make $75,000+ annually.

Cost

$150 consultation fee/$50 per match, contract required.

What To Expect

Prospective clients request an online application and pay the non-refundable consultation fee. Next, you’ll fill out the application then wait for a matchmaker to contact you.

After the in-person interview, which will take place in Toronto, Mississauga, Burlington, Oakville or Hamilton, the matchmaking team will start finding matches for you. You’ll be meeting GTA singles from the Single In The City database.

For every match you approve of, there’s a $50 fee. If you’re interested in seeing that person again after the date, contact your matchmaker to let her know. If the other person feels the same, the matchmaker exchanges email and phone numbers on your behalf.

The $150 consultation/registration fee is good for a year’s worth of matches, however, there is no guarantee on the number of matches you’ll receive - or when you’ll get them. To renew your membership after a year, it’s an additional $100.

If you decide to leave the service, your membership will be placed on hold for 3 months. You can also freeze it for 6 months if you want to date a match exclusively.

In either case, if you don’t resume service within the stated time frame, you’ll have to pay an additional $150 to start back up.

Additional Services

Speed dating, dating coaching

Lyons Elite (by Emily Lyons)

Lyons Elite grew from Emily Lyon’s event staffing and modeling agency. She got the idea after clients asked her about providing dating services as well, and launched the service in 2014.

Lyons Elite works mainly with singles in the Toronto area as well as in New York City.

Clientele

As the name implies, this exclusive matchmaking service isn’t for everyone. Paying male clients are upscale, successful, and affluent.

Cost

As with most millionaire matchmaking services, you won’t find pricing listed online. But you can safely expect to invest anywhere from $25,000 to $500,000+ depending on your individual preferences. A contract is required.

What To Expect

For both men and women, the process begins by filling out an application online. Women can join the Lyons’ database of 2,000 or so members for free.

Men pay a consultation fee. That fee gets refunded if you're not a good fit for the service. Otherwise it goes toward your matchmaking package.

Memberships are customized for each client, with three levels to choose from. The Bronze level includes 6 months of unlimited dating, Silver includes a year’s worth of unlimited dating plus one “mixer” where you’ll meet up to 10 matches, and Gold includes one year of matching plus a “mixer” where you can meet up to 20 matches.

There is also a Platinum package that includes an international search during a year’s worth of matchmaking service.

If you think you may need the ability to “pause” your membership for an extended work assignment, travel, or to date someone exclusively, that pause time needs to be negotiated into your contract ahead of time.

You’ll meet women from the Lyons Elite database. The typical client receives new potential matches to review weekly. Lyons Elite matchmakers arrange the date for you if you're open to meeting someone. Then afterward you can discuss feedback with your matchmaker.

Additional Services

Image consulting and professional photography

Perfect 12 (by Simona Fusco)

Simona Fusco’s ultra-elite matchmaking service is California-based. But she also works with clients from all regions of the US and Canada. Prior to becoming a matchmaker in 2005, she was an actor and model and still makes the occasional media appearance.

Clientele

Fusco is very much a boutique-style matchmaker. She keeps her client roster purposely small. She believes matchmaking services should offer a ‘personal touch’, and generally only takes on wealthy and successful singles willing to date in multiple cities across the country.

Cost

Packages range from $60,000 to $250,000 annually, depending on the scope of the search you want.

What To Expect

Perfect 12 offers a free “Affiliate” program for women, which means you can have your profile included in their database of over 200,000 singles - assuming you can pass the interview process. But as an affiliate, there are no guarantees. You'll have to meet a paying client's ideal partner criteria to be considered a possible match.

For men, the matchmaking process starts with a $2,500 consultation. While Fusco offers 3 tiers of membership, the details of your package are custom tailored. Once you’re on board with the contract, Fusco will start introducing you to Toronto singles from her database, or from any city you’re willing to visit.

Perfect 12 Reviews

 

Finding your perfect match starts with hiring the right matchmaking service - and you’ve just read about 7 great options to consider.

Whether you opt to contact one of these matchmakers or you're considering an option not on this list like Toronto Matchmakers, keep reading for valuable tips on how to get the most out of your consultation!

Before you pick up the phone or fill out an online form, it’s a good idea to jot down a list of questions you want to ask during the initial consultation. While your potential matchmaker wants to get to know you, make sure the information flows both ways!

Here are some great questions to ask your Toronto matchmaker:

If the answers you get don’t line up with the answers you wish you got, think carefully before moving on to the next step. Especially if it’s a matchmaking service that uses contracts. Once you’re committed, it’s almost impossible to get a refund later on.

Take A Hard Look At The Fine Print

Contract language can vary, so it’s not a document you want to skim. Understand exactly what service you’re being promised on paper. If it varies from what you’re being verbally promised, that’s another indicator you may want to proceed with caution.

Generally only what’s written counts from a legal perspective.

Some matchmaking services promise to provide matches “as available” - meaning you won’t know how long it might take to get each one. If your contract has an open-ended time frame, technically the company could take years to find you a match.

Other dating agencies might use an “endeavor to find” style contract. All your matchmaker is required to do is try to select matches who meet your criteria. If none of their profiles fit the bill, you’ll be presented with matches who don’t meet all your criteria, or possibly none of them.

These terms are common in matchmaking service contracts, and as long as you’re comfortable with those terms it’s not an issue. Just don’t make the mistake of signing first, then realizing down the line what you actually agreed to when you’re unhappy with the match quality.

If committing to a long-term contract makes you hesitate, why not start with a service such as VIDA where you just pay on a monthly basis? It’s elite matchmaking minus the long-term commitment!
