 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.
