Short answer: at 1 True Match, Christian matchmaking packages begin around $20,000 and range up to $75,000, depending on the scope of your search. Joining our network as a candidate is free, and the first consultation costs nothing.
Matchmaker pricing is rarely published, which makes it hard to compare firms. This page sets out what we charge, what the fee covers, and how our two search types differ, so you know what to expect before you call.
What Does the Fee Cover?
Every package is a hands-on, confidential search carried out by a dedicated matchmaker. It includes:
- A discovery process to understand your faith, values, lifestyle and what you are looking for
- Interviewing and vetting of potential matches, including background checks
- Introductions that you approve before any date is arranged
- Feedback after every date, from both sides
- Coaching and honest guidance throughout the search
We limit the number of clients we take on each year so that each search gets this level of attention.
In-Network vs Full Search
We offer two types of search. Your matchmaker will help you choose during your consultation, but the main differences are:
| In-Network | Full Search | |
|---|---|---|
| Where we look | Candidates already known to us in our own network | Our network plus searching outside our databases |
| Best suited to | Clients who are flexible on details such as location | Clients with specific requirements, for example a match who lives in or near their state |
| If you need a break | Can be paused: searching stops, but the time clock keeps running | Can be frozen: the time clock stops for up to 90 days and restarts when you ask |
| Results | Has produced a 1 True Match for our clients | Higher success rate, because of the longer time and wider scope |
| Switching | You can move to a Full Search at any time | Not applicable |
Why Is There Such a Wide Price Range?
The price depends on the scope of the search. A search limited to people we already know costs less than one where we recruit outside our network to meet specific criteria. The exact figure for your search is set out during your consultation, before you commit to anything.
Is There a Free Option?
Yes. You can submit a confidential candidate profile at no cost. Candidates are considered whenever we search for a match for one of our clients. It is free and confidential, but we only contact you when a client is looking for someone like you. As a client, we search actively on your behalf.
How Does the Consultation Work?
We start with a complimentary 20-minute phone call to talk about your goals and explain how we work. We set realistic expectations based on your criteria, location and readiness, and we only accept clients we believe we can serve well.
