Matchmakers Dating Agency North East

Discover Our Coverage in the North East

At Matchmakers we have been providing high quality dating services to members in the Northeast of England since our formation in 2005. We are a specialist agency that concentrates uniquely on the younger end of the dating marketplace and provides a service for those aged 25-49, with our sister agency Avenues Dating concentrating on the silver surfers who are 50+.

Most of our potential clients are people defecting away from online dating and 95% of our initial conversations are along the lines of ‘I have tried online dating but it hasn’t worked for me……..’. This can be for one of many reasons but the lack of confidentiality and having a profile and photographs on a busy and highly public website along with the fear of online dating relating crime are two of the main ones. We see it as our role to keep you protected from these issues.

People tell us that personal matchmaking is a little known alternative to meeting people online but it has actually been around for centuries, with the first dating agency opening its doors in London in 1705. Known as a ‘matrimonial agency’ in those days it was the forerunner of organised dating activity in Great Britain.

Dating began to boom after World War 1 in the USA particularly and the UK followed suit with Heather Jenner and Mary Oliver opening ‘The Marriage Bureau” in Bond Street, Mayfair between the wars, then Dateline in the 60’s and 70’s, Avenues, Drawing Down the Moon and The County Register, then carried the flag forward into modern times.

In recent years matchmaking and the use of a matchmaker has really boomed on the back of a host of popular TV shows featuring matchmakers. Shows such as Married at first sight, Love Island, Perfect Match etc.

Personal Introductions in the North East

If you would like to meet a professional partner from the right sort of background, then using a personal matchmaking company like Matchmakers, could open doors for you, rather than the ‘DIY Dating’ offered on the internet. You would be working with an experienced and professional personal matchmaker, who would be your mentor and guide throughout your typically year long membership.

Our personal matchmakers know our database really well and their knowledge of people could make such a difference to the quality of matches you are able to obtain. Every member we have has been personally interviewed and carefully vetted, so we absolutely know that they are who they say they are and are 100% genuine.

We have a great record of success in terms of helping people to find the right partner and the quality of what we do is usually far superior to the attention to detail that an online dating company could provide, where usually there is little or no vetting and anyone with an email address can join. As a consequence our success levels are usually far higher - we on average change over 50 lives each week through successful matchmaking.
