First and foremost we are not publicly online so no-one will see your profile or photo. Many people who have used online dating tell us that they have been enticed in with fake profiles and photos, they have met people who turned out to be much older than they said they were and the photographs were not a true representation of how the person looked in reality. In contrast, we authenticate all our members so there are no false profiles, ages or photos. You will only be introduced to one person at a time, unlike online dating where you can be talking to numerous people and therefore end up feeling dejected when it doesn’t lead to anything. We consider that quality is more important than quantity when it comes to dating.

No and we believe in being very open and transparent about that fact. Unlike online dating where men outnumber women, an honest Matchmaking Agency will tell you that in Matchmaking it is the opposite and there will be more females. Every female will recognise that females tend to be more open than men about their feelings and relationships and are also more likely to socialise – just look around you when you are out in restaurants and bars. We find that females therefore often encourage each other to take positive action to join our company and we also find that the majority of females generally have no problem in investing in something that they want. Therefore as there are more females, our male clients tend to get matched quickly and we need to constantly replace them. It is for this reason that we now have a Male Relationship Advisor on our team and he has brought a male perspective to matchmaking and many more male clients.

All our membership packages are for 1 year which provides maximum opportunity of being matched. We have new members joining weekly and others coming back on who may be ‘the one’.

Unlike online dating we do not use fancy computer algorithms. Having interviewed our members we feel we understand them better and can personally match according to their values and personality traits and interests. We personally search for compatibility between our clients whilst considering their desired criteria as well as their deal-breakers.

We celebrated 5 years of successful matchmaking in April 2020. We are delighted that many of our clients are now in long term relationships. We have had several engagements and weddings and know there are more to come as well as Soirée babies! Our client testimonials and their referrals are evidence of how we have helped people find happiness and changed people’s lives for the better.

We are an award-winning Matchmaking Agency (UK Dating Awards, London) and accredited by the UK Matchmaking Agency and the ABIA (Association of British Introduction Agencies). Our offline service offers a much more personal experience where our matchmakers have your best interests at heart and work with you and for you, to help find you the partner you seek. As a member of Soirée Society you will also be invited to join our events and to avail of the services of our partnership consultants as listed on our website.
