Frequently Asked Questions


What is the difference between being a VIP client and a “Date-A-Base” member?

VIP Clients

Being a VIP client at Bonnie Winston Matchmaker means that you are serious about finding love and recognize how serious an investment it is!

Our paying VIP clients receive one-on-one matchmaking services which include personalized recruitment, pre-date screening of all introductions, coaching and guidance as needed, referrals from and collaborations with other high-profile matchmakers and relationship experts, and optional online dating profile management. We currently only represent VIP clients from the United States, as the majority of our collaborative network is based on the East and West Coasts.

Your VIP package is tailored just for you to cover the length of time and number of introductions you desire, the specific regions where our team of recruiters will scout potential introductions (this can be locally such as “the greater NYC area,” regionally, such as “New England” or “the NY tri-state area,” or nationwide), and to include any additional services that will help you achieve the level of confidence you need in your relationship. Our rates are variable, and the cost depends on the client’s needs.

Free Date-A-Base

The Bonnie Winston Matchmaker Date-A-Base is a free singles database that is open to all single people based in the US who are open to finding a long-term relationship.

If you would like to be a Date-A-Base member, you will ONLY be contacted if you are an eligible match for a current client or matchmaker referral or if our team needs to clarify any of your information. Date-A-Base members do not receive one-on-one services, and our team of recruiters does not actively recruit on their behalf.

There are no guaranteed introductions for our free Date-A-Base members, as there are no guarantees that we have compatible matches in your area that meet all of your dating preferences and criteria. While our team is happy to help as many Date-A-Base members as possible, we cannot guarantee any guidance or advice for non-paying members.

How does pricing work for VIP clients?

For our VIP client membership, the final cost of services depends on contract duration, services included, number of introductions, and recruitment criteria. If you are interested in receiving a quote for our services based on your relationship goals, please contact us, and our team will set up a consultation to provide you with a quote.

Where do we work? 

At this time, Bonnie Winston Matchmaker serves paying VIP clients anywhere in the United States. Our network of collaborators is mostly based across the U.S., so we work in tandem to provide paying clients with thoughtfully recruited matches within their preferred dating locations.

I do not live in the United States. Can you refer me to a matchmaker in my country?

If you are interested in matchmaking services and reside outside of the United States, we can recommend matchmakers and dating services in your area. There are matchmakers worldwide seeking quality singles like you, and each of them operates differently.

I signed up for the Date-A-Base. Why do I need a profile, and who can view my profile?

Your Date-A-Base profile is integral for the Bonnie Winston Matchmaker team to consider you for potential introductions. This is where our team can view your essential information and gauge compatibility with other members, paying clients, and matchmaker referrals. The more information you provide in your profile, the easier it is for our team to match you with others.

The only people who can view your complete profile are you and our small team. Your profile is not visible to anyone else on the Internet nor accessible from Google Search. An abridged version of your profile that only includes your most basic information and primary photos may be shown to other matchmakers, collaborative partners, or your potential match to gauge interest.
