Watch: What to Expect When You Join LUMA Matchmaking

Quality Matches with an 89% Success Rate

Our Matchmakers curate introductions designed for connection. Your first date might include dinner at Peak with Priceless overlooking Hudson Yards, an evening exploring the AKG Art Museum in Buffalo, or a weekend wine tasting in the Hamptons. For upstate clients, it could be cocktails at The Noble Cellar in Syracuse or dinner at Yono’s in Albany. Each experience is selected to fit your lifestyle and set the stage for genuine chemistry.

LUMA thoughtfully designs every introduction, focusing on quality to ensure matches align with your values and aspirations.

Prescreened Matches (~50 Interviews per Client!)

Our process is intentional and results-driven. Each client benefits from approximately 50 in-depth interviews conducted by their Matchmaker, ensuring each introduction reflects your personality, goals, and lifestyle. By the time your first meeting takes place, we’ve already managed every detail — from venue to scheduling — so you can focus on building a real connection.

250+ Years of Combined Experience

With more than 250 years of combined experience, LUMA’s Matchmakers bring understanding, intuition, and professionalism to every match. Your New York Matchmaker knows the nuances of dating across the state — from Manhattan’s fast-paced executive world to Long Island’s coastal lifestyle and the quieter communities of upstate New York. Every introduction is guided by care, insight, and discretion, ensuring a seamless and personal experience.

I don’t usually leave reviews, but Gina has been absolutely amazing to work with. From the beginning, she showed a genuine interest and you can tell she truly cares about her clients and is invested in helping them find the right person. She has even answered questions and checked in outside of normal business hours, which says a lot about how dedicated she is. The men she has introduced me to have been high-quality, intentional, and very respectful. The whole process with LUMA has also been really easy. The Zoom meetings are convenient, the calendar reminders keep everything organized, and communication has been great throughout. Overall, it’s been a very positive experience, and I’d absolutely recommend working with Gina and LUMA if you’re looking for a more intentional, personalized approach to dating.

Over the past year I had a wonderful experience working with Gina from Luma Luxury Dating Service. She was not only professional but also attentive and caring to make my time meaningful. She not only helped me navigate through the process but made herself available to listen and answer my questions. It was a pleasure working with her and I extend the highest compliments to her and Luma.

While I did wait for a potential match, LUMA Matchmaking helped me with connecting with another person. And I hope things work out. But overall, I was surprised with their service, they were quicker than expected. It may be different for everyone else, but it was great.

I met my husband through Luma, and I would recommend 100% They listened to where I was at, gave constructive criticism and was with me through the entire process. It was definitely expensive, but I was 200% done with online dating and beyond the age where you organically meet single people. It was worth every penny.
