— Join Our Philadelphia Matchmaking Network

A Curated Community of Relationship-Minded Singles

Dara Rae Matchmaking isn't built only around the clients who hire us. It's also built around a carefully curated network of relationship minded singles we've taken the time to know personally, screened carefully, and are proud to introduce to the people we work with.

If you're genuinely looking for a meaningful, long-term relationship and are open to meeting someone through a personal introduction rather than an app, we'd love to get to know you. There's no cost to join. What we ask for in return is honesty: about who you are, what you're looking for, and whether you're truly ready for something real.

What Being Part of Our Network Means


Joining our network is different from using a traditional dating app or online dating site.

You'll create a complimentary profile and share information about yourself, your lifestyle, values, and relationship goals so we can better understand what you're looking for in a partner.

As a member of our matchmaking network, you'll be considered for introductions when we believe there may be a strong match with one of our private matchmaking clients. If we identify a potential connection, we'll reach out to learn more about you and conduct our screening process before moving forward.

In addition to potential matchmaking opportunities, network members may also be invited to select private, curated dating events when we believe they're a strong fit for the group. Our goal is to create meaningful opportunities for connection, whether through a one-on-one introduction or an in-person event.


Our network is made up of relationship-minded singles throughout Philadelphia and the surrounding suburbs who are interested in finding a meaningful relationship. Rather than relying on endless swiping or algorithms, we focus on thoughtful introductions and personalized connections when genuine compatibility exists.

Why People Join Our Network

Real introductions, not endless swiping

When we think you might be a genuine match for a client, we make a thoughtful, personal introduction. We even plan the date to introduce you two.

Privacy and discretion

Your information is never public or searchable. Your profile is only shared after you've expressed interest in meeting a client.

Relationship-Minded Community

Meet people who are serious about building a lasting relationship and who have gone through a thoughtful screening process.

No Pressure

Joining the network doesn’t obligate you to anything. Every introduction is entirely your choice.

Who We're Looking For

We're selective about who joins our network, for the same reason we're selective about who we work with as clients: we believe great introductions start with great people.

Ideal candidates are:

Looking for a committed, long-term relationship

Emotionally available

Honest and relationship-minded

Value privacy

Open to thoughtful introductions

Prefer quality over quantity

This isn't the right fit for everyone, and that's by design. We'd rather have a smaller network of people who are genuinely ready than a large one that isn't.

— Our Difference

Why Our Network Is Different

The majority of matchmaking companies can be classified into one of two distinct categories.

A dedicated solo matchmaker managing every aspect personally, or a sizable agency where clients may sense that they are just another number in a database.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Does joining guarantee I'll be introduced to someone?

    No, matches are only guaranteed for our clients. We only make introductions when we believe there's a strong likelihood of mutual interest and compatibility. Because every client has different preferences and criteria, some network members are contacted quickly, some may hear from us after a few months, while others may never be matched. We'd rather make fewer, more meaningful introductions than force a connection that isn't the right fit.

  • Who will I be introduced to?

    Everyone we introduce you to has been thoughtfully screened and evaluated for genuine compatibility, whether they're a client of ours or another member of our network.

  • Is my information kept private?

    Yes. You're never listed publicly or made searchable. We personally manage every introduction.

  • What if I'm not ready for an introduction right now?

    That's completely fine. We recommend connecting with us once you feel ready for a genuine connection.

  • Can I apply if I don't live in Philadelphia?

    Yes. We work with relationship-minded singles throughout Philadelphia and the surrounding areas. Typically, about half of our clients reside in the city while half live in the surrounding suburbs.
