The Crush Confidential
Two Ways to Work With Us: Matchmaking or Membership
There are two doors here. Both lead somewhere worth going.
Matchmaking
We take the search off your hands entirely. First, we learn who you really are, not who your profile says you are. Then we interview and vet candidates privately, on your behalf. You never swipe. You never filter. Instead, you arrive at a beautifully arranged date with someone we chose deliberately, and we coach you through every step of it.
The Elevated Circle
Here, we are not searching for you. We are making certain you are found. Your name and your story go in front of 200+ boutique matchmakers and relationship professionals worldwide. So when one of them is quietly looking for someone exactly like you, you are already known.
One is a service performed for you. The other is a seat you hold in the room where introductions get made.

The First Door
How Our Matchmaking Packages Work
We are not a dating service. This is not an app with a person attached. Matchmaking is a private search we run on your behalf.
It starts with a conversation about you. We talk through your history, your values, and what has gone wrong before. Then we dig into what you actually want, not just what you say you want.
After that, the search begins. Our team personally interviews and vets every candidate before you ever hear a name.
Once we find someone promising, we arrange the introduction and handle the logistics. Afterward, we follow up with both of you separately. Feedback comes to us, not to each other. That means nobody sits through an awkward conversation just to get an honest answer.
Every package includes coaching, because the search only works when you show up as your best self. Each one also follows our 3-Date Method. In short, that approach gives a real connection enough room to prove itself.
No two packages look alike, because no two people do.
Included in Every Package
What Every Matchmaking Package Includes
Hand-Selected Introductions
We search on your behalf and vet every candidate personally. So you never sort through profiles, and you never wonder whether someone is serious.
Coaching Built In
Dating well is a skill. Your package covers how to read a connection, how to ask for what you need, and how to break patterns that keep failing. This comes included, never as an upsell.
Everything Handled
We coordinate the dates and manage the scheduling. Then we gather honest feedback so you are never guessing. Your only job is to show up. Clients also receive gifts, resources, and a few surprises along the way.
VIP clients meet Amanda in person. That private onboarding dinner happens before the search begins.

The Elevated Circle: A Matchmaker Visibility Membership
Not everyone is ready for a $25,000 search. Not everyone needs one either.
Here is something most people never learn about this industry. Matchmakers hunt for candidates constantly, because their own clients are waiting. Someone is looking for a person exactly like you right now. However, they have no way to find you.
The Elevated Circle fixes that. You pay once, and you stay inside our curated network for life.
A private matchmaker interview, so your profile reflects a real person
Exposure to boutique matchmakers internationally
Visibility across the Honeybee professional network
Priority access to our singles events
Seasonal member spotlights that resurface you to the network
Priority consideration whenever a matchmaker is searching
To be clear, this is a visibility and access membership. It is not matchmaking, and it guarantees no introductions or outcomes. What it does guarantee is that the right people know your name.
Founding Member Rate
$597
One time. Standard investment $897.
Lifetime membership. Limited availability.
Still Deciding
Which Option Is Right for You?
Choose Matchmaking
Choose matchmaking if you want a partner found for you. This path fits when you are ready to invest and want the whole process handled.
Choose The Elevated Circle
Choose The Elevated Circle if you want matchmakers to know you now. It also fits when the timing or the investment is not right yet, but you refuse to disappear in the meantime.
Many clients start in The Elevated Circle and move into matchmaking later. Whichever door you choose, the other one stays open.
Common Questions
Matchmaking FAQs
What is matchmaking?
Matchmaking is a private service where a professional searches for your partner on your behalf. Your matchmaker screens and interviews candidates, then arranges introductions only with people who genuinely fit.
How much does a matchmaker cost?
Costs vary widely across the industry. Our matchmaking packages begin at $25,000 USD, and VIP Elite packages are quoted individually.
How is matchmaking different from a dating app?
An app hands you profiles and leaves the work to you. A matchmaker does the searching, the vetting, and the coordinating, then coaches you through each date.
Is The Elevated Circle the same as matchmaking?
No. The Elevated Circle is a visibility membership, not a search service. It places you in front of matchmakers, but it does not guarantee introductions.
Can I join The Elevated Circle and hire a matchmaker later?
Yes. Many members do exactly that. Your membership lasts for life, so it keeps working even after a search begins.
Please Note
The Elevated Circle is not a full-service matchmaking package and does not guarantee matches, introductions, or relationship outcomes. It is a visibility, networking, advocacy, and access-based membership. This is a one time investment that grants you lifetime membership into the program.
