Matchmaking agencies are organizations that help individuals find romantic partners. They typically use a combination of personal interviews, questionnaires, and compatibility assessments to understand clients' preferences and personalities. These agencies often cater to specific demographics, such as professionals, singles over 50, or culturally specific groups. Clients usually pay a fee for the agency's services, which may include personalized introductions, date coaching, and relationship advice. Unlike online dating platforms, matchmaking agencies focus on creating meaningful connections through a more personalized approach, aiming to foster long-term relationships rather than casual encounters.
