The Matchmaker UK  Arvostelua 80

Im so glad i found these guys! Eve was so friendly and non judgmental. Thank god i found the matchmaker. Happily married now 💍

Best LGBT matchmaking service in London! I came to Lara after trying with a few other matchmakers in London. As a queer woman in my late 50s, they all rendered it impossible to work with me, but Lara immediately took me on and the process was easy. After not long I went on a date with the woman who I am now happily with. Coming here has got my spark back, thank you Lara and the team. I couldn’t have done it without you all!

I am getting married!! Wahhhh. Thanks to Lara and her team, I met the man of my dreams on my second time dating through her services. He lives literally a million miles away, and through MatchmakerUK, they brought us together and we've never been happier. The time they spent in interviewing us, profile making and checking in throughout the dating journey was attentive and comforting. I would highly recommend anyone to start their journey to love, just like I have TODAY. With Lara and her team... you've literally nothing to loose and everything to gain. Thank you thank you. My dreams just came true ❤️

The sign up process was really easy, it was good I could complete my own profile and I had a few questions which were answered quickly. They picked which photos were best for me to use on my profile which helped me. It is a pleasure to deal with Lara and her team

First rate experience with a bespoke approach.
Highly recommended. Thank you!

Lara & her team were so reassuring & helped restore my confidence after many years out of the dating game. I can’t thank them enough for their time & support. Having been single a while it was worth every penny to have the coaching & insight to what to expect. I’m so happy I took the plunge and with Lara’s help I have had some lovely dates & am excited to meet a new man

I left an honest review about my experience with Matchmaker UK on 04/12/2024 on Trustpilot and Google. Since then, a lot has happened.

Lara, the matchmaker, has changed her response to my review three times. The first version included a clear breach of the NDA, revealing confidential information about me. I politely asked her to remove the NDA-breaching content—no response. So, naturally, I escalated the issue to my lawyer.

My lawyer reached out, advising her of both a GDPR breach (for disclosing my private information) and the NDA violation, urging her to self-report to the ICO (the UK body overseeing GDPR breaches). Initially, no response from Lara. However, within 48 hours, she quietly edited her response to remove the NDA breach.

Then, we finally heard back. Lara denied breaking the NDA and instead went on a rant about how “amazing” and “award-winning” she is. (For what it’s worth, in my experience, awards are often bought through event participation—the more money you pay, the bigger the award. But that’s just my opinion.)

Defamation Accusations & Changing Stories

Since then, there’s been a lot of back and forth. According to Lara, leaving a negative review on Trustpilot or Google is “defamation” and a “breach of contract.” The irony? These platforms exist specifically for people to share their experiences.

We were even accused of organizing others to leave bad reviews. The truth? I have no idea who left those reviews, but they sound eerily similar to my experience. It seems that if you aren’t an “easy” client, the blame is always on you.

Meanwhile, Lara changed her response on my original review a third time. I haven’t changed my review at all.

Legal Threats & Ongoing Issues

We have since requested a refund for both the service fee and legal expenses. This entire situation could have been avoided had Lara simply followed the NDA and not committed a GDPR breach.

Instead, I have now been repeatedly threatened with lawsuits—not just for my Trustpilot review, but even for posting on my own Facebook and LinkedIn about my experience with a lifestyle coach (where I never even mentioned Lara or Matchmaker UK). The post simply included a link to Trustpilot, and yet I was still accused of wrongdoing.

Final Thoughts

At the end of the day, I encourage anyone reading this to look at all the reviews—both good and bad. Notice the pattern:

🔹 If you leave a negative review, you’re attacked and blamed.
🔹 If you leave a positive review, everything is fine.

The truth? We were just clients looking for love, believing the promises made to us. Instead, we were let down.

Mistakes happen, and that’s okay. But when a business & it’s owner refuses to take accountability and instead resorts to blaming the client, threatening legal action, and trying to silence honest feedback, that’s a massive red flag.

I’ll continue to provide updates here if anything more happens.

My friend used the services, it was shocking to see how they treated them during the experience of the contract. Then truly awful to see how they behaved when they have an honest review of the service.

Wow shocking how they treating paying customers, it’s terrible what they have said in feedback from paying clients! Their owner seems to get so nasty, I’ve met her once in London so self adsorbed it was insane. I reached out to them over a year ago and no one ever came back to me.

I can’t recommend The Matchmaker UK highly enough! From start to finish, their professionalism, personal touch, and dedication to understanding what I was truly looking for were unmatched. The team took the time to really get to know me—my values, goals, and preferences—and used that insight to connect me with individuals who were genuinely compatible.

The experience felt tailored and thoughtful, far from the generic, impersonal nature of dating apps. I was introduced to someone amazing who shares my outlook on life, and I couldn't be happier.

Lara and her team are superb. Emotionally intelligent and engaged, they are all personally invested in taking the pitfalls out of modern dating. Lara’s service goes above and beyond, such is her professionalism and care about the service she provides to her clients.

A particular shout out to Nicole too - thank you so much for your time and empathetic approach.

It has been an absolute pleasure to have put the most important and personal need in my life at the moment into the hands of Lara and her team.
At my stage of life I consider myself deserving the best of service and that is exactly what I am receiving from The Matchmaker UK.

I cannot express enough my deepest gratitude for Lara's exceptional matchmaking and date coaching services! From the very beginning, Lara guided me through every step of the dating process with her wisdom and support. Her date coaching was truly a game-changer - she helped me build confidence, refine my approach, and recognise what truly matters in a relationship.

Thanks to Lara's expertise, I am now in a thriving, meaningful relationship that continues to grow stronger every day. Her keen insight, empathy, and tailored advice made all the difference.
Lara not only understands the dynamics of dating but also how to foster real connections that last. If you're looking for a matchmaker who genuinely cares and goes above and beyond to ensure your success, I highly recommend Lara. She’s an absolute gem!

I had an exceptional experience with Laura & matchmaker team and would highly recommend their services to anyone serious about finding a meaningful relationship. What stood out to me the most was the level of care and attention given to each match.

From the start, I felt that my time was valued. Every match was thoroughly vetted—not only for safety but also to ensure that the person aligned with my relationship objectives. Unlike online dating, where you often sift through countless profiles with little assurance of who you’re really meeting, here I felt confident that each introduction was meaningful.

Laura really took the time to get to know me and my personality meeting on several occasions personally , ensuring that each match had the potential for something deeper. It was clear that they put tremendous effort into aligning compatible personalities, which made each meeting feel purposeful.

When you factor in the time, energy, and money that online dating demands, this service was an investment in my future and a much more personalized and efficient approach to finding a long-term relationship. If you’re serious about finding someone special and tired of the endless online dating loop, this is the way to go.

So glad I reached out to Lara when I did, she has been so helpful, providing such valuable advise, I am so looking forward to my journey with her!

All experiences can be a rollercoaster sometimes good, sometimes bad, and sometimes you’re just hanging on for dear life in the middle. For me, using dating apps shouldn’t feel like I’m taking on a second job. If I wanted to spend hours scrolling, I’d be on all dating apps, not trying to find love. That’s why, after careful thought (and maybe a glass of wine), I decided to team up with Lara and her matchmaking crew.

Yes, I went on a bunch of dates over time some good, some amazing and some where I didn't feel the va va voom. But let’s be honest, if it were that easy to find a match on my own, I wouldn’t need to write this review, would I? Now, seven months and six days later (yes, I’m that person who keeps track), I’m happily matched and loving life.

Let’s face it we use these services because we need a little help, some guidance, and maybe a bit of matchmaking magic. There’s no guarantee it’s not like the matchmaker’s hiding behind the plants on the date coaching us through it. At the end of the day, it’s all down to two people. That said, I’m a little shocked when I read the negative reviews. Personally, I’d happily vouch for my experience. Lara and her team made me feel like I wasn’t just rolling the dice on love.

Been signed up with The Matchmaker UK for about 2 months now, and I feel that Lara and the team really understand what I'm searching for in a life partner and they've guided me in the right direction. I'm excited to see what the future brings...
