Reviews From Clients
Steve
“You all knocked it out of the park with this match. I had an amazing time getting to know her. We spent a little over two hours together, we ended up staying for dinner and talked for a little while longer after dinner. I really enjoyed the honesty of the conversation and discussing our faith was encouraging! We exchanged numbers and are going to meet again on Wednesday!”
Sara
“I typically do not write reviews, however, Ambiance Matchmaking exceeded my expectations and is worthy of a review. After years of trying dating apps, relying on friends, and other typical methods of meeting people, I decided that the tools I was using were not achieving the results I was looking for. I first contacted another top matchmaking provider but wanted to research other matchmaking companies prior to hiring one. In my search, I came across Ambiance Matchmaking. From the moment I met with Leslie at my initial consultation, I was very impressed and comforted by knowing that Leslie would truly match me with someone special. Leslie, Ambiance’s matchmaker, was great at getting to know me, while also learning what I’m looking for, and answering all of my questions. Choosing a matchmaker is an overwhelming and emotional task, however, Leslie and her team are genuine and truly care about their clients. I went on two dates and have found my person all thanks to Leslie. I cannot recommend Ambiance enough. I have even connected my daughter with the wonderful team at Ambiance. If you are in the market for finding love, do not hesitate to contact Ambiance; you’ll be in great hands.”

“It was great meeting him. We had drinks and ended up staying for dinner until around 6:30pm.
I really like his devotion to faith and his desire to keep God at the center… That really stood out to me!
He was very honest and easy to talk to. It seems like we share the same core values when it comes to faith, marriage, family, and lifestyle. I can tell he’s dating with intention, and I like that. He seems like a great guy and I look forward to getting to know him better! We exchanged numbers and plan to meet again later in the week!”
