Why Choose A Chicago Matchmaker?

A Personalized Approach To Love

Dating apps rely heavily on algorithms and standardized profiles, with an estimated 49 million people in the United States using these services. In contrast, professional matchmaking offers a distinctly personal touch. It is a method meticulously tailored to your unique desires, values, and dreams. Rather than generic connections, matchmaking provides personalized romance. Balancing intuition and technology, luxury matchmaking firms excel at curating personalized matches. 

Access To Exclusive Singles

Elite matchmaking services provide a gateway to a select network of quality and accomplished singles, with potential matches undergoing rigorous vetting to ensure a shared alignment of goals and lifestyle. Notably, we have a proprietary network of over 250,000 high-caliber singles.  

Eliminating Challenges of Dating Apps

Online dating comes with its fair share of challenges. Whether it’s fake profiles, catfishing, or the pressure of crafting the perfect online persona, online dating can make the search for love a stressful experience for many. Professional matchmakers cater to busy professionals who don’t have time to waste on dates without potential. Matchmakers set themselves apart from online dating by conducting comprehensive background checks and ensuring the authenticity of all members, providing a more secure and authentic dating experience for their clients. 

Guaranteed Confidentiality & Reputation Management

Online dating often involves sharing personal information with strangers, leading to concerns about data security. In a study, 53% of online daters reported worries about their personal data's safety on dating apps and websites. In contrast, matchmaking services prioritize privacy and security, offering peace of mind, especially to high-profile individuals who value their safety and confidentiality in the digital dating world. 

Relationship Guidance & Custom Coaching

Online dating promotes self-discovery and independent connection-building, but professional matchmakers take it a step further by offering unwavering support and expert relationship guidance. They serve as your guide and coach as you progress through your relationship, providing invaluable insights on how to craft a lasting, meaningful love story. 

Find Success

With an 87% success rate and over 4,000+ happy couples, Selective Search knows exactly how to help you find love.
