The Matchmaker Club

It’s all the fun of dating without the hassle.

You live life to the fullest and your free time is precious. You’ve worked hard to get to where you are, but something’s still missing: a little more excitement, a spark, a deeper connection with a special someone.

If you’re tired of endless swiping, waiting on replies and first dates that fall short of your expectations, you’re probably thinking: Isn’t there a better way to find that special someone?

There is.

For more than a decade, The Matchmaker Club has taken a truly personal approach to modern, international matchmaking: real introductions, hand-picked by a real matchmaker, not an algorithm. All you need to do is bring your sparkling personality and enjoy the impressive company.

“The Matchmaker Club is all about enjoying the process of finding your perfect match.”

Annie began matchmaking at just seven years old when she set her dad up with his second wife. Even as a young Cupid, she could see sparks fly between two people–long before anyone else could. Her unique understanding of people, relationships and the laws of attraction have since helped singles all over the world navigate the dating scene and find love.

Annie has now spent more than a decade introducing accomplished singles internationally, from Canada and the US to the UK and Australia. Today she is also a Partner at Cinqe, the luxury matchmaking firm, and was named one of the 10 Best Canada Matchmakers of 2024 by DatingAdvice.com.

Her take on modern dating has been featured in ELLE, The Globe and Mail and Montecristo Magazine, and on live television. She’s seen the best and worst of today’s dating world, and knows exactly what it takes to make a great first impression.

Annie created The Matchmaker Club for busy singles who wanted a more fun and effective way to date. With so many people burning out on dating apps, that idea has never felt more current: a personal matchmaking service built on real introductions, discretion and a little romance.

“Matchmaker Club members are attractive, ambitious professionals who want to find someone special to share their time and common interests with. But for whatever reason, they’re just not meeting the right people. My job is to help them identify who their ideal partner is, and equip them with the tools to know what to do once they’ve found that person.” Annie Garmendia

How it works

The process

When you join The Matchmaker Club, dating becomes much more straightforward.

Rather than endless swiping, decoding a one-size-fits-all self-help book, or trusting an algorithm that’s designed to keep you on the app, The Matchmaker Club members are given professional, personalized advice based on their individual needs.

As a member, not only will you love meeting fascinating people that have been hand-picked based on your preferences, you’ll also have someone to turn to for a post-date debrief or advice on your next move.

  1. The Meet

    The Matchmaker Club owner Annie Garmendia meets with you one-on-one to discover who you really are and what you’re looking for in a mate. This is a safe, completely confidential environment, where you can be your honest self. Don’t worry, Annie’s heard it all!

  2. The Search

    While you’re busy at work or at play, your well-connected personal dating agent is picking out matches, just for you. The Matchmaker Club draws on Annie’s private network, built over more than a decade, as well as the modern dating scene to find the best fit for you. Whenever we’ve struck gold, the lucky contender is personally screened and their details are sent to you for a green light.

  3. The Date

    All the legwork, from coordinating schedules to booking the reservation, is done for you. You’ll be given the pertinent details – all you need to do is show up and have a great time! And there’s no awkwardness after the date, we handle the post-date follow-up and give both parties feedback on how it went.

To help stay confident and positive during the dating process, members are given styling tips and ongoing date coaching sessions focused on key dating criteria such as compatibility, interpersonal skills and flirting. You’ll have someone in your corner to talk to before and after the date, and everything discussed in The Matchmaker Club, stays in The Matchmaker Club.

It really is the more fun and effective way to find your perfect match!

Life’s too short to waste on average dates.
