Boutique by Design

We hand-pick a small number of clients annually. Our services are customized to our client’s needs to give them our full attention. All matchmaking is handled by Shannon and/or Claire. There is never a hand-off to a junior matchmaker or assistant.

Shannon’s Circle

We have over 8,000 singles in our private rolodex. This combined with Shannon’s Harvard Business School alumni ties, corporate networks, and attracting new singles into our Circle every day, we are able to tap into an unparalleled network of exceptional singles.

Unlimited “Quality Fit” Matches

While we don’t believe dating is a numbers game, we are focused on creating as many quality fit matches for our Clients. We personally vet every potential match to ensure each introduction is carefully curated and worth our Client’s time.

A Strategic Approach to Dating

Getting into the right relationship is more than the match. It’s the first date, second date and beyond. We help our Clients bring their A-game to first dates, which is crucial for securing their second date with a high-caliber match.

Track Record of Success

We only take on Clients we sincerely believe we can match. Our glowing reviews, press, and success love stories speak for our results. Shannon has been featured in WSJ, Fortune, Forbes, Business Insider, and Harvard magazine for her expertise in matchmaking, dating and relationships.

Outstanding Dedication

We are highly responsive 24/7. If you need anything at all, we’re available. After hours, weekends, or if an emergency arises, we’re here for you.

Privacy

Your privacy is precious and we protect it. When we work together, we make sure that an identifiable information is not shared until a match is made. Even then, we do our best to keep your full name private until you decide to share it with your match.

The type of person our clients are seeking have a lot of choices. We take a strategic approach to helping our clients bring their A-game to dating.

Our Clients are intellectually curious and kind. They are typically highly educated, high achievers making a difference. Our clients typically have earned graduate degrees and often from an Ivy League school. They are at the top of their chosen field.

No, we leave no stone unturned. Shannon and her team look far and wide to find the right person for her client. Her Circle (private database) is just one resource she taps into. She also taps into her personal network connections, as well as her connections with matchmakers who have their own database of singles. Her team does targeted outreach as well to find the right person for her client.

It varies and is tailored to each client’s search. Shannon’s Circle Matchmaking packages are typically in the 5-figure range. VIP packages are a larger investment in the 6-figure range.

It is customized to each client. Typically an engagement is between 6 and 12 months. We've found that 6 months is the sweet spot, as it gives us ample time to deliver quality fit matches to our clients.
