Matchmaking
A thoughtful approach to finding — and choosing — a partner.
Six-month packages that combine thoughtful introductions with ongoing dating coaching.
Alexandria Jimenez
Client Relations Coordinator
“Welcome! People come to us at very different points in their dating lives. You don’t need to arrive with all the answers; we’ll start by getting to know you.”
Our approach
Before compatibility, context
Traditional matchmaking often begins with who you’re looking for.
We begin with you. Not over Zoom. Not through a questionnaire. In person.
If getting to know you requires a plane ticket, we book one.
We want to understand:
- How you communicate
- How you spend your time
- What gives you energy and what drains you
- Your relationships and routines
- The way you move through the world
Disability, neurodivergence, family dynamics, or an unconventional life path may all be part of that context.
Compatibility on paper means little if a relationship doesn’t work in practice. That context shapes our introductions and our coaching.
“I’d recently tried finding matches through speed dating, but kept getting burned by ones where we weren’t compatible at all. Harrington Matchmaking helped me move past those and introduced me to people who shared not just my interests, but my values, too.”

“Great service if you’re post divorce and finding your footing. Avoid those dating apps.”
Jeffrey in Washington, D.C.
What to expect
Six months of matchmaking
Matchmaking isn’t simply a series of date setups.
One matchmaker walks with you through the entire process — making introductions, coaching you, and refining the search based on what we learn together.
Coaching
Not everything can wait for the next session.
Coaching is virtual and takes place through whatever medium best fits how you communicate and process information. Because dating rarely unfolds on a schedule, there’s room for informal check-ins between sessions.
Matching
We don’t do blind dates.
Your preferences are a place to begin. We also consider what’s harder to capture on a checklist — temperament, communication, lifestyle, and how two people may actually experience one another.
Before an introduction, we share who we selected and why. You decide if you’d like to meet.
Consistent support
Who you navigate this with makes a difference.
The same person matches you, coaches you, and follows up with your matches after dates. You’re never starting over with someone new.
Coordination
We take care of the logistics that make dating feel like a job.
We handle scheduling, reservations, and confirmations. After each date, we check in so you’re not left wondering what comes next.
Presentation
Sometimes a little outside perspective helps.
Questions about clothing, sensory preferences, dress expectations, or photos that feel like you? Our trusted image consultants and photographers are available — entirely optional.
Room to pause
Six months doesn’t have to mean six consecutive months of dating.
If you need room to explore a relationship with a match — or life needs your attention elsewhere — your contract can be placed on hold. We don’t continue introductions just because the clock is ticking.
Getting started
Currently, we have a waitlist
We intentionally work with a limited number of clients at a time. Demand — particularly for our work with neurodivergent and disabled adults — often exceeds what we can responsibly serve.
The first step is a consultation. We’ll learn about you and whether we’re the right fit. If we aren’t, we may recommend another program, professional, or trusted partner and help you take next steps.
