Matchmaking services are inherently high end from the get-go, with the lowest priced options usually starting around a few thousand dollars for a membership. If that is the price point you’re interested in when you say high end matchmaker (as a side note, you will get amazing service at that price point), then any of the top matchmaking services will do you just fine.
But if you’re looking for the best of the best and aren’t afraid to drop some coin for that, there are higher level VIP options available with most companies.
Here are four high end matchmaker programs you may be interested in checking out. After we show you some options, we’ll talk about what you typically get for the elevated pricing.
Three Day Rule offers VIP services starting at $10k
Conveniently also our favorite matchmaking service for any level of service, Three Day Rule offers VIP services that start at the $10k mark and go up. While Three Day Rule is very transparent about their traditional membership pricing (which is rare in this industry), specific VIP pricing is not listed because they basically build you a custom package from scratch.
You won’t see these services listed on the company’s website because it’s one of those “hidden secrets” that you have to know to ask about when you talk with the company.
If you’re looking to work with the best, you can use this link to schedule a free consultation call with Three Day Rule.

Tawkify’s high end matchmaking services are priced up to $80k
Tawkify is another popular matchmaking service that heavily markets its VIP options. In fact, the company lists several additional perks on their website for VIP level packages.
You get access to additional search areas, expanded search criteria, and “even more” —we’re not totally sure what that entails. What our research showed us is that people reported being told on calls with Tawkify that for the upgrade to VIP, they’d get access to a “better” matchmaker, a handful of dating coaching sessions, and matches from anywhere in the U.S. (if that’s what you’re looking for).
Again, the price points are only discussed with potential members, but one report we found stated they were quoted $70k for a 12 date package, meaning you’d go on 12 different dates (if needed).
This would break down to about $5,800 per date. The average price for Tawkify’s regular membership is about $1,100 per date, based on the reports we’ve seen (again, they’re secretive about this). So, each date with the VIP upgrade is about 5x as expensive.
Is it worth it? Maybe. Ideally, we’d probably recommend either getting the Three Day Rule VIP option instead or just doing the “regular” level membership. The promise of a “better” matchmaker makes us question why you’re not getting the best when you’re already paying $1,100 per date.
If you’re interested (it still may be a great fit for you, especially with Tawkify’s massive database), you can use this link to schedule a free consultation call.

Kelleher International sells high end packages up for $300k
Hands-down, Kelleher International is the most expensive matchmaking service there is. Base-level memberships start at $30k and go up to $300k. We described Kelleher as the matchmaker that “if you have to ask how much it costs, it’s not for you.”
When you purchase a more VIP option from the company, you get access to a wider pool of matches (basically, more affluent people from what we’ve seen), relationship coaching, life coaching sessions, and potentially individual attention from the founder (though, she’s getting up there in age, so not sure how this works now).
Is Kelleher International worth it? Well, let’s put it this way. You’ll want to read our Kelleher International review before contacting them or signing up. We have some concerns with what was revealed in a lawsuit against the company from a past client and some questionable remarks the company made about 9/11.
Elite Singles is an affordable high end dating app starting at $45 per month.
The last option we want to share is for anyone whose jaw might be on the floor from these prices but still wants a high end matchmaking experience. Elite Singles is a high end dating app that uses curated matching, just like the other options we’ve shared.
The difference? Matching is done by a high-tech algorithm. You’ll still get access to great matches, but it will be a computer doing the heavy lifting instead of a person. Additionally, you will have to start the conversation and set up the dates, but the savings you’ll enjoy are substantial.

Here’s what you’ll get for paying the higher pricing for VIP services.
With some options for you now shared, we do want to talk briefly about what you’ll get when you pay for a high end matchmaking experience. Keep in mind that many of these will vary based on which provider you choose and which package you select. Additionally, Elite Singles won’t have all of these amenities due to the different (and more affordable) style of matchmaking.
Also, keep in mind that these are on top of the services you already get when working with a personalized matchmaker.
You’ll generally get more one on one attention.
Any matchmaking service is going to give you one on one attention. However, when you purchase a VIP membership, you should expect to get an even more personalized experience.
For transparency, we think you should be getting this high level of service with every membership (and you do with some providers like Three Day Rule), but we’re okay with elevated options as long as they deliver.
You may get access to a more skilled matchmaker.
Again, we feel you should always get access to a skilled matchmaker when you’re paying thousands of dollars. But, that said, there will always be matchmakers who have higher success rates or more experience in your area. When you purchase a higher end matchmaking service package, you may get access to these people (like with Tawkify).
You could get access to a higher tier of singles.
We first unearthed this when looking at Kelleher International, but some matchmaking services have multiple tiers of potential matches. Depending on your affluency (and which package you purchase), you may get access to higher profile, more discreet matches.
This is not the case with every matchmaker (or at least it’s not made public),
You may get the ability to meet singles from other markets.
Probably the biggest difference between the regular-level matchmaking packages and the higher end options is the locations and markets they’ll look to find matches for you. Generally, a standard package gets you a matchmaker to look in one particular area (usually where you live or work).
If you pay for the higher end options, you may get multiple matchmakers looking in multiple cities.
Is this a big perk? It depends on you. If you want to meet someone close to home, it’s not going to be anything you care about. But if you travel a lot or are open to traveling for the right match, it gives you more options.
Is a high end matchmaking service worth it?
Ultimately, the answer to this question depends on your financial situation, how important finding love is to you, and how you gauge the difference between a traditional matchmaker package and a higher end option.
For us, the standard level packages at a high end matchmaker like Three Day Rule is probably plenty, or at the very least a great place to start. If you only want the best, though, high end matchmaking services with VIP plans just might be worth it.
That said, with a standard high end matchmaking membership starting at a few thousand and a higher end option being 10-20x that, it might make sense to start with the less expensive option and then upgrade if you need more. Again, though, you may have the type of disposable income where starting with the best makes more sense for you.
