I have been a client for approximately six months and have had positive experiences with the women I have met. They were high quality and women of substance, with beauty, intelligence and world experiences. She listens, takes time to understand me, my values, quirks, interests, lifestyle and aspirations for my future. I believe and trust that her and her team are genuine and committed to help me find love and happiness. I highly recommend Irene Valenti and her team! read more

This was an excellent experience. Irene and her staff are thoughtful and professional, and they understood how scared I was to meet new people. Irene is truly special, and she helped me through the process with grace and compassion. I strongly recommend this service. read more

Irene is so warm and caring and her team is friendly and helpful. I suggest you go with Irene instead of dating sites - Irene is truly committed to helping others find their life partners and has many matches under her belt. read more

As a practising physician and devoted single father, my time is limited and valuable to my son, family, friends, patients, and me. Finding an intelligent, down-to-earth, traditionally feminine woman, who is as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside, is no small feat to accomplish with the world as it is and my limited supply of time. If it were easy, the tremendous efforts I've already regularly engaged in would have long ago had me already enjoying the passionate, love-filled, quality relationship I am committed to having, but haven't been able to find yet. In love, as in life, there are no guarantees. The complexities involved in having a passionate, grounded, mutually enlivening physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual relationship are myriad, much less those involved in the process of finding the ideal woman for me to even make that possible. There is art, there is science, and then there is fortune. As talented as any pilot may be, he or she optimizes the ease, safety, enjoyment, and success of their flight by having a trusted ground crew, skilled meteorologists​, and caring air traffic controllers, especially when the mission achieved by such a flight is an important one. Little in life that is worthwhile is achieved easily or quickly. In light of these acknowledgements, and to maximize my ability to find the quality woman I desire to meet, with whom to mutually build and share in a phenomenal love-filled relationship, I have similarly enlisted the help of a group of seasoned professionals to help me do just that. My experience thus far with Irene, Karina, Eugene, and others has been nothing short of exceptional. Though I have not y e t met "The One," I am confident I will with their help, based upon the quality of my first introduction and the evident effort that went into so successfully meeting my criteria therein. Until then, I will continue to work on myself, pray, and trust in the process, knowing that by investing into and availing myself of the experience, access, knowledge, insight, care, and talent that the professionals of Valenti International bring to the table, I will one day have the phenomenal relationship we're mutually committed to. read more

Valenti has a stellar, high-end, and incredibly personalized service. From the initial contact to the ongoing engagement, their entire team pours their heart and soul into their clients' success and happiness. They really - really - listen and somehow manage to match you with just the right person who is both emotionally and physically in tune with what you wish. It feels almost magical! Valenti process really works, and if you are serious about your personal life (and it's quality), you will be surprised and impressed with what (and who) you encounter as you join their highly selective circle. read more

Not sure what is the deal with all the scathing reviews - but I have referred multiple people to this business whose experience has been fantastic. Their experience has been several notches above from what they have experienced from online apps in terms of quality of matches and compatibility. Eugene is terrific to work with! read more

As one past client of Valenti International Matchmaking said about this company they are completely phony, fake and calling Irene Valenti a con artist who will take your money and produce zero results! Others have written very similar reviews with one writing "run, don't walk, as far away from this company as possible"! Unfortunately I made the mistake of signing up with them without searching for reviews that past clients have written about this organization. After going five months without a single introduction I realized what a mistake I had made. Such lack of performance and trickery justifies the description of this company as phony and fake!! read more

absolutely the worst ever. nothing in 2 years. don't let her take you money. then she will send u married candidates. she obviously doesn't research her clients. just takes your money. read more

A total and complete waste of alot of money. My quote"matches" Were guys I had absolutely nothing in common with, either personality wise or anything else. A scarecrow dressed up in a ball gown. Do not waste your money as I did. read more

Irene and Karina were super helpful and I had a great date tonight. I feel like a lot of people complain because we live in a microwave society where we want things now! But people are not pastries, and dating/searching takes time it's a process. Trust the process and stick to it. She is a match maker not a magician. Instead of focusing so much negative attention to her and her business help her with prayers so she can find your life partner. I don't know if the guy I met tonight is the one or not, perhaps so or perhaps not. If it is great if not well keep going on dates and learning/pouring wisdom and sharing with people I would have never met otherwise. I am truly thankful for her and her team. read more

Recently we called to see if our daughter, who recently ended a long relationship, could be a fit. We made it crystal clear we were calling only to make the introduction and we would put our daughter in touch directly if the agency thought she would be a fit for their services. Imagine our surprise when they sent us a non refundable contract for 250k and called our daughter and told her it was a gift from us!!!! Completely dishonest and disreputable. Later we found out there have been over 30 lawsuits from women who were scammed. Believe the one star reviews below; they tell the true story! read more

This dating service is a total rip off. They hardly have any men in their stable and match you up with people who you have nothing in common with. A lot of the men don't pay fees at all, while they gouge the women on fees. Irene Valenti doesn't look anything like her picture and is totally disingenuous. Avoid at all costs. read more

I'm sad that this company is still in business. Read up on this company before contacting her. If you want to donate thousands of dollars to Irene Valenti so that she can continue to live in the style to which she has become accustomed, (and I read that she still filed for bankruptcy) then go ahead and sign up with her. You will get basically nothing for those dollars, and that is why I call it a donation. Yes, I was, to put it bluntly, conned by her, and I hope you stay away. After reading about this "service" in various online articles and review sites, I have the strong suspicion that she has few male clients and far more female ones. I went on one disappointing date with probably a friend of the family or another client who shared no interests with me, and appeared to be randomly selected based on age. This date occurred only after I got no communication for several months, and wanted my money back. She also had ways of avoiding talking to me when I called, which made me angrier. The only other "possible match" was a long distance call from man who lived in a rural area, who was also probably a "victim". He was nice, but too far away. I don't know how she can live with herself. I should have believed more in myself, as you should if you are considering her services. I found someone on my own. Wish I did it before paying her. read more

I went through Valenti International and could not have been more happy with the results. They truly catered to my every need and at the end of the day made sure I was getting what I wanted. If I was ever not happy with anything they were very quick to respond and to get me more options. I would recommend their services to anyone who is looking for the right match and needs a little help doing that. They truly boosted my confidence and because of them I was able to find a match for me. THANK YOU!!!! read more

Definitely do not bother. Irene misled and misrepresented her service. I spent a significant amount of money, not to mention time and resources, trying to get value out of my investment to no avail. Irene often did not operate with the most basic integrity over and over again. read more

A complete rip off. They will take your money, set you up with a couple of lousy dates.. and that's the end of it. A total loss of money.

Extremely impressed with the professionalism and attention to details. They actually, care and are dedicated to helping you find your life match. Concept....they actually listen to you read more

My experience has been very positive. The team is personable and polite. I found the process fascinating. I learned a lot about myself. They are definitely very good at what they do. I'm confident in their abilities to help me find a compatible match. read more

I would like to say to all the men and woman that are trying to find love and are soul mates. Valenti International and Irene's team are best at what they do and the most professionals all the way. They go out of their way to make every detail easy and fun so you can enjoy your big plans. They make it easy to reach out to the lady and set all the dinner and hotel and even air far if you need it. So all you have to do is show up and have a great time. I would recommend the service to anyone. Well wreath the time and energy to find the soul mate. Put your dreams into the match makers at Valenti International and you will find true love. read more

Valenti International matchmaking service has  turned out to be one of the better decisions I have made. I can't tell you how refreshing it is to work with an actual matchmaking service as opposed to filling out an online questionnaire for some dating site and leafing through profiles. Mrs Valenti, their chief matchmaker, seemed genuinely interested in getting to know me and understanding what I was looking for in a relationship. My initial consultation and first meeting with her I was warmly greeted by her associate Elisha.  She made me feel right at home with her welcoming smile.  My consultation with Mrs Valenti was in depth and personal which helped me with the process. As for the dates themselves, I have been extremely happy with them.  I have met a smart, beautiful, successful woman, and thanks to the initial consultation we actually have a lot in common.  The personalized and genuine service and quality staff is what separates Valenti from other matchmaking services read more

I must agree with the other negative reviews I have read about Valenti International. I signed on for three years with promises of great introductions and help from the "Team". Well...I received 5 introductions in three years. None of the potential introductions were close to what I discussed with one of the psychologists at the the initial interview. I went with this company because I believed with licensed psychologists it would be legit and they would work hard to find a good match. Boy was I wrong! I tried to be very open and communicative with Valenti, but always felt they were just appeasing me when we spoke. Long story short, they took my money and when the chose to deliver it was so far off base it was a further waste of my time, my travel expenses and the other persons time and money as well. DON'T MAKE MY MISTAKE. It has a big financial toll and unfortunately a bigger emotional toll. read more

I have had a terrible experience with Valenti International and am writing this review to hopefully prevent others from falling prey to what i genuinely believe to be a sham and deceptive business practice. I realize that sometimes these reviews are written by individuals that are hard to match because they are either unusually particular about the criteria they are seeking in a mate or they lack certain key attributes (eg. they are physically unattractive or too old for the age bracket they wish to date) thus makeing them generally difficult candidates to match and therefore they feel cheated and frustrated and blame the matchmaker . This is not the case here! I am a very successfull and attractive male in my early 40s and have always been very successful in the dating scene, i was just having trouble finding the right one and turned to Valenti for assistance. Also, without going into specifics, my criteria were very reasonable (essentially an attractive and well educated lady in her early thirties who wants to get married and start a family). After my first meeting, Irene Valenti personally pursuid me with phone calls and emails to get me as a client and made all kinds of lofty promises about her services and probability of success. I was skeptical at first, but after a couple months i decided to give it a try in part due to Irene Valenti's persistence and promises and in part because i was able to substantially negotiate down her rate. In hind sight i should have paid heed to my initial instincts and walked away -- Irene Valenti does her business (and interviews clients) out of her mansion in Rancho Santa Fe. I came away from my initial meeting with the impression that she is a very fake person that is very cut off from reality in her "ivory tower" of a mansion...her employees were very stiff and formal and the whole place has a very stuffy and impersonal aura to it. Anyway, after I signed up, what ensued was preposterous. I never heard from anyone again! I repeatedly called and emailed them and expressed my frustration but did not get a single response till 5 months later i got an email from Irene stating that she saw no need for me to try to communicate with them and that i should just wait patiently and if and when they find a suitable candidate for me they will contact me. Subsequently on two occasions they sent me an email indicating they had identified a candidate for me and when I expressed my availability to meet them they told me the candidates were no longer available. Thats all that happened over the course of one year! It is really appalling that this woman is getting away with such a sham and fraud. Hopefully anyone reading this review will see that i have taken substantial time to write it with sufficient detail to hopefully show my sincerety and provide the reader with real insight into this sham so that they will stay away from Valenti and not fall prey to what i genuinely believe to be a complete fraud. read more
