The Professional Matchmaker dating agency was thrilled to be announced the winner of the “Boutique Dating Agency of The Year for 2024” at the recent awards ceremony held at The Kings Suite of the Kings Court Hotel in the heart of the Midlands. This award is given to up-and-coming matchmaking agencies proven to be an example of excellence in the delivery of professional matchmaking services in the UK.
Our Philosophy: Providing a Personalised Dating Service
At the core of The Professional Matchmaker's success in winning this award lies our unwavering commitment to providing a truly personalised and supportive professional dating service. Unlike the giants of the dating world that offer online, typically ‘swipe-based’ ways of looking for a new partner, we get to know each and every one of our clients.
Our dating agency takes the time that’s needed to understand each person’s desires, preferences, values, and life circumstances and with this knowledge, can carefully tailor the search, focusing on the qualities we know from experience, which are so often key to dating success and the formation of a lasting relationship. In our matchmaking work, we are guided by our clients whilst bringing our expertise and valuable experience to the table.
Our level of personal service will be present from the very first conversation you have with our matchmaking team. If you are interested in using our matchmaking service, we want to hear about you and your personal circumstances so that we are well-placed to advise on which membership option might best serve your needs.
Finding out about you as an individual is not done via a form-filling exercise; it’s through having a friendly and relaxed conversation at a time that suits you, all with no obligation to take things further. Afterward, you decide if our service is what you have been looking for. If you choose to use our professional dating service and become a member, you’ll be interviewed for your dating profile by one of our experienced matchmakers. We will ask a series of in-depth questions to gain further insight into your personality, values, and lifestyle, along with your hopes and aspirations for your future partner and relationship.
This comprehensive starting point allows us to create a more nuanced and authentic dating profile for you and provides us with the deeper understanding needed to best guide the search for your genuinely compatible match.
By treating each client as a real human being and an individual rather than just another entry in a database, we are far more effective in helping you achieve dating success. We work to build a meaningful connection with you and remain on hand throughout your membership to discuss how your dating journey is progressing. We are also available for practical, straightforward advice when you need someone as your dating sounding board.
The Secret to Our Success: A Team of Expert Matchmakers
Another significant part of our success is down to the high calibre of our team of personal matchmakers. We are incredibly proud of the strength of our team, all of whom care passionately about their role in helping our clients find love.
Our matchmakers come from a variety of backgrounds and life experiences, but all are highly empathetic individuals—skilled and experienced professionals with a deep understanding of relationship dynamics, human behaviour, and the intricacies of matchmaking.
Matchmaking is as much an art as it is a science. Our expertise goes beyond simply matching people based on surface-level characteristics. We understand deeper levels of compatibility and are adept at identifying the more intangible qualities that contribute to the success of a relationship.
Our matchmakers have an uncanny ability to recognise potential and create matches that you may not have considered yourself, opening doors to more opportunities for finding love. It’s incredibly rewarding to see our clients, especially those who have experienced disappointment with online dating, discover that this more personal approach can lead to finding someone truly special and, in many cases, changing lives forever.
Our clients often speak highly of the personal guidance they receive from their matchmaker—someone they often come to see not just as a professional guide, but as a trusted friend throughout their dating journey.
How the Professional Matchmaking Dating Agency Began
We were founded in 2017 in response to the need for an alternative to online dating in the UK—a more supported and personal way for genuine singles to find love.
Professional matchmaking is by no means a modern concept; it has been a trusted method of finding a partner in the UK for over a hundred years. Online dating came to dominate from the 1990s, with platforms like Match.com launching in 1995, followed by eHarmony in 2000. The peak of online dating services was perhaps between 2010 and 2016, but interest has waned as more and more problems have become associated with it.
While the number of single people seeking a partner hasn’t declined, the need for a better, more reliable way to connect has become clear. This allowed us to grow from strength to strength, welcoming new clients from across the UK as others found their soulmates through our service. Winning this prestigious award in 2024 is a testament to our dedication and the glowing testimonials we have received from appreciative clients.
Although we are a boutique dating agency that provides highly personal service, we benefit from being part of the Dating Options group, giving us access to a large UK-wide database of carefully ID-verified and interviewed singles.
This extensive network enables us to search broadly to find exciting matches that align with your aspirations. Our database includes high-quality individuals who are committed to finding long-lasting relationships, rather than casual encounters.
Many of our clients are professionals or business-focused individuals seeking quality over quantity in their dating lives.
