Matchmaking Services in NYC: Packages, Prices and What's Included
Matchmaker New York offers three matchmaking packages for single professionals in New York City: a search within our network, a search that adds active recruiting, and an executive search outside our network. Pricing is set during the confidential consultation. Every package includes a confidential consultation, a search by Vadim Litvak, vetted introductions and feedback after each date.

| Package | Search |

| Network search | Our network |
| Active recruiting | Our network + active recruiting |
| Executive search | Headhunted search outside our network |
An introduction means a first date arranged by us with a person we have met. Prices are per person, before any add-ons. Start with the search scope you need; the introduction count, coaching, length and price of each package are set out in writing after your consultation. A larger search scope changes where we look; it does not promise a relationship.
What every package includes
Every engagement begins with a private, in-depth intake session. We discuss the relationship you want, your priorities and the practical time you can give to dating. Use the consultation to ask about the session length and whether meeting in person or by video suits your schedule.
We turn that conversation into a profile and search brief. The brief gives Vadim Litvak a clear basis for hand-selecting candidates. Your requirements, preferences and willingness to travel belong in that conversation, so the search reflects the life you actually lead.
We meet every candidate before arranging an introduction. Meeting a candidate gives us a person to consider alongside your brief, rather than relying on a profile alone. You can ask what vetting covers during your consultation.
We arrange the first date and gather feedback from both sides afterward. Tell us what felt comfortable, where conversation was difficult and whether you would like another meeting. Feedback helps us understand the fit more clearly before the next introduction.
The contract allows a pause when you need one. New York law gives buyers a right to put membership on hold for up to one year by written notice. Discuss the timing of a hold before taking a break so you understand the remaining search term.
Before choosing a package, make sure the search brief distinguishes the things you need from the preferences you can discuss. That gives your feedback a useful reference point as introductions begin.

Executive and high-net-worth matchmaking
Our executive package includes a headhunted search outside our own network, vetted introductions and feedback after each date. The search brief sets the direction. The contract states your travel distance. We discuss scheduling around work and how your photos and personal information are handled before you commit to the engagement.
If you are comparing a luxury matchmaker or executive matchmaking service, ask what the search involves beyond the label. Our executive option extends the search outside our existing network. That distinction matters when your relationship priorities call for recruiting people we have yet to meet.
Discretion starts with an explicit conversation about information sharing. Ask who will see your profile and photos at each stage. New York law protects personal material against sale or transfer without written consent and provides for its return or deletion at the end.
A demanding work schedule also belongs in the search brief. Tell us when you can meet, how much notice helps and what travel you can realistically manage. The contract states the distance you are willing to travel to meet a referral; a broader search should still lead to dates you can attend.
Bring questions about visibility and travel to the first conversation. A search outside the network still needs a workable boundary: where you can meet and what information you are comfortable sharing.
Ask for the executive introduction count, term and coaching provision in writing before choosing. Learn about Vadim Litvak and bring your search priorities to the consultation.
Matchmaking for busy professionals
Our active recruiting package combines our network with active recruiting. It is the middle option for someone who wants the search to reach beyond people already known to us. Its introduction count, length and coaching are confirmed in writing before you commit.
Our matchmaking services are for single professionals serious about a long-term relationship and looking for discretion. That includes people working in finance, law, technology, medicine and creative industries.
Discuss the cadence of introductions alongside the total count. A monthly referral commitment and the overall package length answer different questions. Your written agreement should make both clear, so you can decide whether the commitment fits your availability.
Reserve time for the dates themselves as well as the search conversation. Knowing your available evenings and travel limits helps you assess the package before making a commitment, rather than discovering a scheduling mismatch afterward.
After each date, we ask both people for feedback. Be specific about the connection and the practical fit. If shared faith is central to your search, explore Jewish matchmaking and bring that priority into the intake conversation.
Add-ons
Add-ons are optional. New York law bars making an ancillary service a condition of the matchmaking contract. Choose extra support according to the work you want help with, and ask whether your package includes coaching before adding a separate service.
- Date coaching: price on request.
- Photo session: price on request.
- Profile review: price on request.
- Image consulting: price on request.
Ask what each add-on includes and how it relates to your search. A photo session and a profile review address different needs. Keep the agreed scope and any separate charge together with your package details so you can see the full cost before deciding.

How our prices compare with other NYC matchmaking services

Agape’s figure comes from a dated news report; It’s Just Lunch figures come from individual customer complaints. Those reports are historical accounts, rather than current quotes.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best high-end dating service in NYC?
The best fit depends on your budget and who you want to meet. Market examples include Tawkify’s $4,400 three-match offer, Elite Connections’ $15,000 six-month membership and Selective Search’s $50,000–$500,000 retained-search range. Compare scope and terms in our guide to the best matchmakers in NYC.
How much does an elite matchmaker cost?
Selective Search states that a retained search averages $50,000–$500,000, depending on scope and criteria. LUMA publishes $20,000–$250,000 or more for customized full-service matchmaking. Those published figures were checked October 30, 2026. We quote our executive package after the consultation; compare its introduction count, search scope and length against these ranges.
Is a professional matchmaker worth it?
A professional matchmaker may be worth the fee if you want help finding candidates, arranging introductions and reviewing feedback. You still need time to date, and a paid search cannot promise a relationship. Weigh the cost against the work you want help with: is a matchmaker worth it?
Do you work with women for free?
Ask us whether a free candidate listing is open. A free candidate list means consideration for introductions to paying clients, rather than an active search on your behalf. Selective Search’s candidate program has no fees to join or be matched, checked October 2026. Ask which role applies before choosing a paid package.
