I kinda stumbled into becoming a member of BC Matchmakers. It took a couple of months before my first match, and we met twice, but I knew this women and I were not a match. Anyway as time and matches went by, I soon realized I was getting matches, over and above the original 6 I had signed up for. No more money was asked of me, so I felt "Lets see how far this ride goes'. One thing that confused me, was getting calls from someone in Dallas informing me of my latest match. What does Dallas have to do with Vancouver? Anyway, out of 30 matches, 1 for sure was a great match, and the other 29 had no interest after our first meeting. 1 match, after we agreed to meet, phoned back to say her children didn't want her to meet me. Another was highly insulated that I suggested our lunch be "Dutch Treat". Covid seemed to shut everything down for me, as I didn't want to meet anyone during the Pandemic. Obviously neither did BC Matchmakers, as they never called with another match. So far as hand matching people, don't believe it. I think they just take your money, match you with whomever they want, and hope they can keep you on their line for either getting more money out of you, or by luck, you do find someone through them. I seriously suggest, you do your homework and use a more professional service than this. I will say in closing, it was an interesting experience, met 30 women, and unfortunately for whatever reasons, never found "That Someone Special." And I was lucky not to have spent large amounts of money with Matchmakers BC. read more

Do not consider BC Matchmakers, they are scammers. They promise and sign the agreement with lots of money. I signed with $1000.00, and I have no rights, they have a 10 day cancellation but I don't have any. I didn't even change the temporary password to start creating my profile. Very disappointing. I filed a complaint in BBB, they agreed to refund my money and still didn't refund anything till date. Please do not sign any contract with them, just a big waste of money. read more

Prior to becoming a client of BC Matchmakers I had employed a number of different dating apps and had mixed results. I have had some success with these apps; however more often than not disappointing matches (scammers). I have been using BC Matchmakers for almost six months and cannot be happier with the service I have received. The biggest advantage of using BC Matchmakers is that all matches are screened (no scammers). Within the six months period I have been introduced to five wonderful ladies. I have enjoyed the company of each and every one of them. read more

DO NOT USE THIS BUSINESS AT ALL My first appointment was horrible. I had appointment with Denis at 7:00pm, it was 4:00pm that I called her to cancel my appointment she was pushing me and forcing me to come and when she sea ii came from Burnaby only because of you so please just come here... i can remember that she repeated for 20 time just please come I'm here only for you! Then I felt sad for her and I was thinking ok she came because of me so I'm responsible for my appointment. So I said ok I gonna come today. I was 6:30 when I was there and I paid for my parking spot at Burrard St and I called her to coming down to get me. (Because of the security you cannot entry to the building). I start to call her and I did for 5 time even I left a voice massage that I'm here and it's cold and I cannot stay outside and because I believed her that she is in office and waiting for me, so she should be able to take my call. (Because I had to pass Lions Gate Bridge I was in the way some early to be on time. I hate be late at appointment but you never know what is gonna happen on bridge ever) So I was there for my appointment but no one was there and you can believe if i say we pass 7:00pm but still nobody answer my phone and i left at 7:10. I was in my car to come back that someone called me and said: "Oh where are you we are here for your appointment"! Never ever try this business. read more

Do NOT use this business! Denise is a total witch and she will scam your money. Even you get their sales calls every week and promising how great your experience will be and how professional they are. They just spent all the money on tele marketing and survived over these years by scamming. I spent $2000 on a 6 dates service which the matchmaker girl told you they will go very specific on the picks and you will find your Mr. Right on the second or third dates. What I experienced are that out of 3 dates they set up, 2 dates you don't even want to look at them after you met since they are totally not your criteria. And the other one just never can be able to set a time to meet. After my complaint, they didn't contact me for 4 months. When I try set up another face to face meeting, they just try ignore you and even no show for meetings. Girls, life is full of hope and go to events and travel more rather than throw your money into water like using this service. read more

We could not be happier with this amazing company. I had my doubts at first but after many many conversations with Denise, I finally decided to do it her way. lol It was my third match when I was introduced to michelle. I was very nervous on the first meeting as we both were but remembered what Denise had said, so we planned another date, then another. We have been together now for almost 7 months and are talking about life plans, she is everything that Im not. I never thought I would meet my better half as they say but thanks to the wonderful people at BC Matchmakers, I did! Thank you all so much! read more

I am so very disappointed in my experience with BC Matchmakers . I was so hopeful when I started this journey. The response time was very slow which I excused due to Covid. I submitted my forms more than 4 times and continued to receive requests to resubmit. After the initial call ( and AFTER I paid ) the follow up was dismal. Never had any intro's or follow up . I requested a " partial " refund which I feel is very fair since BC Matchmakers DID NOTHING . To date they have refused. My feeling is that this is fraud ... taking advantage of single people. Please don't let this happen to you. read more

Had an appointment with this business earlier today. I had read all the negative comments, but thought let's see them in person and if I pick up any bad vibes, then I won't sign any deals. I was already on my way on the SeaBus when they called me to let me know they were running half an hour behind. I asked if I could come and wait in their office while waiting for my turn. After all, I always carry an e-reader in my purse for times like this and didn't want to wait outside in the cold. They said it would be fine and someone would let me in when I arrive and call. I arrived on time which was 5 PM but found out the elevators were locked and had to call them as they told me to. Made several calls while walking in lobby but no one picked up. I finally left a message while waiting by the elevators, feeling very uncomfortable while being stared at by all the people leaving the building, and of course by the two security guards. After 10 minutes of waiting, finally they called me back and said someone was coming to get me. I kept waiting, but no one from their office did. Another frustrating 10 minutes later, the lady at the reception called and said someone would come in the next five minutes when they were done with their client. The voice was very cold and serious. I have also recently had a minor knee injury which is not too bad. But standing for 35 minutes can really cause pain!! My biggest mistake was not walking away right then. Another terribly long and painful 15 minutes (not five as they promised) went by. I called again but no one picked up. I read more negative comments on my phone. Then a lady came, greeted me and showed me to the elevator. She seemed polite but very serious. Not consistent with overly friendly voices that had called the day before to make the appointment. She asked me if I was excited and I said with a calm smile that I was excited before waiting for so long. She did not like my answer one bit. Then for another few minutes argued with me that it was not their fault and the previous client was late. I tried to explain that she was missing the point entirely. The problem was not taking longer with the previous client. The problem was leaving me downstairs for over half an hour standing when they had previously told me I could sit and wait IN THE OFFICE! She kept interrupting me, telling me that they told me they were running behind when I was on my way (completely missing the point again). They could have been organized and told me at the beginning that I could not wait for them at their office. Then I could go to a coffee shop nearby, read my book, and not suffer from knee pain. Enough was enough. It was a bad beginning and based on other clients' testimonials, it would not get better later. Saved myself lots of time and money by politely saying goodbye and coming back home. read more

Do not use this service. If you want to throw your money away. Walk along the whiterock pier and throw it into the ocean at high tide. It would actually be more satifying. They could not get a match for me. They even matched me up with a myscular dytrophy person who was in the latter stages. Great person but not what I want to go through after losing my husband to cancer. These people cannot find their own ass with both hands in regards to matchmaking!!!! read more

Waste of time and money. Mostly money. I had 5 dates. I cancelled out on the 6th because there was no point. I knew it wouldn't be any different than the first 5. Did not have any chemistry or connection with any of the dates. They were nice enough, but not my type and not at all what I had asked for when I was "sold" the service. You can buy a lot of time on Match.com for the amount you spend here. I wouldn't go so far as to say it's a scam, but I don't think they have a lot of women on file to choose from so they throw one in the pool just to say they've set you up with someone. Don't waste your money here. read more

The matchmaker was late on her initial interview by more than 30 minutes, without notifying me beforehand, leaving me standing outside without being able to reach anyone from the office. Takes more than 3 months for them to match you with someone, and makes excuses for not communicating to clients on time. Over the course of the past year, I have only been matched with two people. Communicates very poorly with clients, and difficult to reach and communicate with. Anytime you try to call them, it will go straight to voicemail and no one seems to actually pick up the phone. They failed to call or message me, even when I asked them to contact me as soon as possible or at a time when I was available. Even once had someone from client services call me rude and impatient for asking why my matches are taking 3 months and longer. The actual matches are poorly thought out by the matchmaker, even after apparently spending over months searching for a good match. Does not seem to listen to information that is communicated to them about what you are looking for in a match, and seems to even alter certain information. read more

So for starters this is actually a good company and you will be set up with dates that are decent and there are a lot of people who have found their life partners using this company so how the business functions has nothing to do with my review. However I went on a few dates with one of the women they matched me with and it didn't work out. Where I get my back up is when I talked to the main lady on the phone and explained to her what had happened I found out how feminist the people are who run this company. Basically they said regardless of the effort I put into the dates her showing up was good enough and if she just wanted to friend zone me despite making me think there was the possibility of romance I should be fine with that. I don't like to be used, lead on or deceived. My time is worth far less then hers and so is my effort and she can do no wrong and everything must have been 100% my fault. Don't get me wrong I definitely have fault in the failing of trying to establish a relationship but I was pretty much the enemy. I will never support an anti man, hard line feminist driven organization where the underlying belief ( from my conversation I had ) is that men are just the tools of women to be used and tossed aside on a whim and I should be fine with that. The last thing to take note of is that the woman running this stresses being friends. Yeah, because we pay that much money to be friend zoned lol. read more

Do think twice before you spend any money here. Over TWO YEARS ago I spent nearly $5000 to fine a wonderful partner. After a nearly 3 hour interview, I thought the company had a good idea of what type of man I was seeking. My first date came months later- a nice guy but with a mullet, driving an old pick up truck, smokes like a chimney, truck ashtray full of pot butts. His idea of a date was 'wanna come over and watch tv?' Certainly not the type of man I would want to pay big bucks to meet! Then came only 2 more dates- completely not what I was looking for! One of them actually told me that BC Matchmakers gave him a half price discount. My guess is there is a shortage of men in their data base! ( the recruiter would not give me any numbers when I inquired) I asked for a refund after my first day- even a partial refund - but no ! That means it has cost me over $1500 per date to be set up with incompatible men. I have met more compatible types for FREE on dating sites. I'm still waiting to be set up with an appropriate man... read more

Ron and I were both lonely widows in our early 60's who were looking for a marriage partner who was Christ centered and would join us in serving God. We also wanted a spouse who had good relationships with their family, stayed in shape and was financially responsible. We prayed constantly to find our prospective spouse and for our prospective spouse. We did not want to be part of the on-line dating scene because we did not trust the profile information posted and we did not want to expose our personal life to strangers. BC Matchmakers met with us separately for 3-4 hours and probed deeply into our goals, lifestyle, personality etc. They made us think more about these things than we had done ourselves. We left with a concrete idea of who we wanted as a spouse. They did a police check to make sure we did not have a police record, an employment check to make sure we did what we said we did and a marriage check to make sure we weren't still married. I liked the fact that they would only match us with people who were 5 years younger or 5 years older so we would have grown up in the same era and have lots in common. Ron and I know all the same songs and we know the words and sing along together all the time! Denise, who interviewed me, was very professional and personable. She called me to say that Ron would be calling me and starting the dating process. Our first date was amazing! We knew very soon that our match was made in Heaven. We were engaged and married in 7 weeks because the professional matchmakers at BC Matchmakers had narrowed down to "the one" and we are so happy together! read more
