Julie was friendly, easy to talk to and offered some helpful dating tips during our initial…read moreconversations. However, my experience afterward was disappointing. I paid a few hundred dollars with the understanding that I would receive access to her "mitzvah" matches or be invited to social get‑togethers. None of that has occurred, and it has now been over a year. After I declined her more expensive course due to cost, communication stopped entirely. The services that were discussed as part of the initial payment were never delivered, which left me feeling misled and unsupported.

Let me start by saying that it's a little awkward to have to review a paid matchmaking service so…read morepublicly. But as a Yelp member who has written hundreds of reviews I feel it's my job as a past paying client of Julie's to post a review here. Julie's company, Cupid's Coach received such poor reviews that it appears she has changed her company name and website! I kept a very open mind when I signed up with Julie, and throughout the process, even when I wasn't getting the results/matches I had hoped for. It only takes one great match I told myself. And yes, it is possible that you will be matched with someone who is really perfect for you... just not that likely. I was asked to pay about $4k for 10 matches. What I paid was $1,800 for about 6 matches, and they threw in 2 more for free. What I expected for that sum of $300 per match was for each one to be handsome, successful, to have a good personality, and to be a good match for me. You can call that a tall order, but it is what I expected for this kind of money. I will say that most of the men I was introduced to over an 18 month period were successful financially. However I requested that I DID NOT want to meet men who worked in the entertainment industry, yet that is almost entirely who they introduced me to. They don't let you see photos of matches so unfortunately I only found two to be attractive. Of the 8 men I was introduced to, I dated and saw any potential at all with only one. I do think highly of him, and he has a great sense of humor. His experience with the paid service was also similar to mine (only having interest in me, and none of his other matches). To make matters worse, for my final match they should have paid me to go out with the guy. Talk about leaving a bad taste in my mouth. I understand they have members that they have a hard time matching. But as a paid member I found it insulting that they "used me" to fulfill one of his matches. There was no followup after my membership ended (of course) because they don't want to hear what you have to say. When you sign up they claim that they will take your feedback throughout the process to progress in finding you your ideal match. I think only once was I asked about how a date went. Instead I had to be the one to send unsolicited feedback, to which I received very little response. My suggestion for you would be to take the time and effort on eharmony where you can screen nice people yourself for FAR less money.

I met Michelle at a time when I was at a low point in my nanny career and personal life. I had…read morebeen looking for top nanny position and had been on many interviews through other agencies. It seemed like I had landed a few dream jobs only for it to slip away from me. Really trying times. Then I met Michelle! This brings a smile to my face. Meeting with her felt like chatting with a friend. I realized after that this is her skill. She loves people and wants to represent both the families and the nannies. It was a slow period and she didn't have any job opportunities at the time when I signed up with her agency, the perfect placement. After being on the hunt for my top nanny job with a kind family for many months and it wasn't happening I was getting ready to move out of state. I mentioned to Michelle that I'm no longer looking for a position as it doesn't seem like it's going to happen. Michelle didn't give up on me. She called me with 2 opportunities. I went on both interviews and was called back to do a trial for the one that I wanted !! Yay !! Then Michelle negotiated some time off that I needed to take care of a health issue. The family was so wonderful they waited for me ! All I can say everything lined up perfectly. Michelle will always return your call in a timely manner and she always checks in to see how you're doing. I thank God I met Michelle !

She is truly interested in building life-long relationships for her clients. I also have to mention how much I appreciate her responsiveness. Her follow up is lightning fast!

This group would not speak with me unless I filled out a long form, which I happily did…read more After filling in the form, I never heard back so I followed up. I called back to follow up and was told "I'm with my family right now, I can't talk." My thought was, "then why are you answering your phone? I'm just calling to set up a time." Sherri said I'd hear from her daughter Tammi and hung up abruptly. When Tammi didn't call me at our scheduled time, the only number I had was Sherri's so I called her to ask if she knew anything. Once again, Sherri was very abrupt and said that Tammi had not been feeling well. So why didn't Tammi just cancel and reschedule with me then, I thought. Tammy then called me and explained that she just got busy with her kids and forgot about our cal. No problem, I said, we can just reschedule the call. However, as a 50+ year old woman I asked to have Sherri as my contact because I felt that someone my age would understand me better. After all, this is a very personal relationship I'm developing in working with their service. The below is a text message trail ME As  a woman of your age, I was hoping my contact would be with you. Sherri I'm in NM visiting family. And traveling all day today. My daughter will call. And if you want to talk to me when I get back I'm a week let me know. Tammi and I work together don't worry. I was driving when I answered you. We couldn't find our place we were staying. I thought it was the people we rented from. Sorry. LATER message after me talking to Tammi Sherri I can Zoom with you Friday 2:30-3:30 pst. Or we can work on a day the following week. ME Can we please do just a phone call first? Happy to do a Zoom after should we decide to work together. Sherri Sure. That's fine. ME Super. I sent a calendar e-vite. Sherri I forgot I'm helping with my grandsons school that day. I don't get done tell 3:30. I can talk at 3:30. Just call. I'll put it on my calendar. ME I am at the vet at 4 PM. So I can't do that. Sherri Thursday at 10:30 is okay too Or the following week. I have a lot going on because of being gone. ME With all due respect Sherri, I am not impressed by the haphazard manner in which your firm operates. You are talking to a person who works 16 hours a day and who works 7 days a week. I TOO have a lot going on...but my clients never see it, hear about it, or are impacted by it. If this is an indication of how you and your daughter are on what is normally your best behavior, then I cannot feel confident in trusting that you'll be able to devote the time and energy needed to do the job. I would not only be paying you a lot of money, I'd be trusting you with a most personal activity. I just can't move forward. Not only is the manner in which you handled me, "I spoke to you rudely because I thought you were my Airbnb host?" What?! Your daughter missed our call. You make a time with me without checking your schedule first. You don't put something important in your schedule and count on your memory to ensure you don't double book. Then you tell me how busy you are, knowing that most professionals who can afford your services are slammed themselves. I could go on, but suffice to say that you are not a fit and I'll be writing a Yelp review to save someone else the time looking into your services. Sherri I'm very upset you would threaten me like this. My daughter spent time talking to you. You wanted to do a zoom meeting. I explained I'm out of town. It's the first time I've seen my son and his children in a year. But I've kept in touch anyway this whole week. We've done nothing to harm you. I have a busy week from being gone. I can cancell helping the children and keep the original appointment on Friday. I simply forgot I'd promised to do it but I can Cancell. I have no idea why you'd treat me like this? I'm sure it's better you join someone else but there's no reason to harm us. ME I didn't ask for a zoom meeting. You are more worried about me you being upset than me being upset. Your daughter talked to me for all of 5 minutes, only to explain why she didn't get on the scheduled call. In a service business, which you are in, it's about the customer not about you. You should be calling me to apologize instead of continuing to go on about your own woes. END Save yourself the grief of being an inconvenience to this group. As Maya Angelou said, "When people show you who they are, believe them."

Thank you ever so much for a wonderful Valentine's matchmaking event at the Santa Barbara Polo…read moreClub. The event could not have gone any better and was truly transformational. I learned a lot and met many wonderful people. I felt like some of the women and I might become friends moving forward, and, of course, the men were cute too! I would come to a similar event in a heartbeat! I was talking with other women and they said the same. I am sure this took tremendous work and effort to pull together, that being said, if you held one every month or every other month, I would be there. I was blown away by the quality of the guests, the food, the organization, the raffle gifts, the stations with jewelry, makeup, photo booth, and tarot card reader. It was so much fun. D.J. Joseph spun dance-worthy tunes all night. I left feeling hopeful, and thinking that we had all made a positive difference, met great folks, and built community. I also felt like my life seemed good and a sense of peace and contentment is still washing over me, reminding me to have patience, and take some calculated risks of continuing to put myself "out there." I now have faith that my life companion will find me, and I will find him, when the timing is right. I am deeply grateful to you and your staff, and everyone who worked on putting the Valentine's event together. I look forward with excited anticipation for your next happening!!

A few years ago April was referred by a spiritual " person", therefore I thought it was "written…read morein the stars" that I must contact her to meet the man of my dreams. I met her for coffee + she asked all the questions, then I gladly paid her her fee. She set me up with a guy who may have been wealthy, but he smoked up a storm and his personality was terrible. It was like I was the one ' ordinary, brunette " woman she had on her roster. I never heard from her again, not once. ( in the meantime I met lots of guys on my own--successful, handsome guys) Then , around two years later, I was having breakfast with a tall blonde , thin girlfriend and I ran into April. She had the NERVE to ignore me and ask my TALL BLONDE friend if she is single and that she has alot of men to set her up with !!!! WTF? maybe she has a thing against Jewish girls....

I can't say enough good things about Beyer & Company. I have interviewed with matchmakers before…read moreand they seem to think as long as you have a pretty face you will be a match for any of their men, but they are forgetting that looks don't make a lasting commitment and they seem to just want to send their men on dates with as many differen women as by can no matter how compatible they are. April is completely different and I feel like she really understands what people should be matched together, she won't waste anyone's time. For our first meeting I was an hour and a half late due to traffic, and April stayed late just to meet me despite recently having surgery and not being fully recovered. She seated me in her beautifully decorated office and even had a snack and water set out for me. She asked me every question you could think of that would be important to matching me with someone, and our appointment ended up running late into the evening because I felt so comfortable and wanted to tell her everything about me. She asked about my childhood, my family, my career and life path, and little things people overlook like if I am adventurous and if I would relocate. I can't wait to hear from April, she completely understands what I am looking for and I know she won't connect me with someone unless she feels we will have a lot in common. For someone that doesn't have a lot of free time, that is important to me. She even gave me some great advice on how to meet guys until then and I can't wait to get out there and use her tips. Gentlemen, she is the best of the best (I have tried them all) and if you want an amazing woman in your life you have gone to the right place to find her.
