The Professional Matchmaking Guide

What matchmaking actually involves, how the screening works, and how to know if it's right for you, before you spend anything on the application.

By Bobbi Tanguay · Updated October 2026

Most people are quietly asking the same question. Is professional matchmaking worth it? And what actually happens once you start? For $27, you get a straight answer.

What’s Inside

A working explanation of professional matchmaking. It’s written so you can make an informed decision before you apply.

Chapter 1: How Professional Matchmaking Actually Works

The mechanics behind a matchmaking process. Intake. Screening. Introductions.

Chapter 2: What a Matchmaker Does That an App Can’t

The practical difference between algorithm-driven matching and a person who interviews, screens and vets on your behalf.

Chapter 3: The Screening Process, Explained

What background and identity screening is meant to catch. Why it exists. And what it means for your safety and privacy as a client.

Chapter 4: Is Matchmaking Right for You?

A way to think through fit. Your goals, your timeline, what you’re willing to invest. Plus the honest tradeoffs of a curated process versus a high-volume one.

Chapter 5: What to Expect Once You Apply

A walkthrough of the application, the screening, and what the early stages with a matchmaker usually look like.

Chapter 6: Questions to Ask Before You Commit

The questions worth asking any matchmaker before you sign on. Including us.

Chapter 7: Getting Started

A direct path from “I’ve read this” to “I’m ready to apply.” Including exactly what the application involves.

Who This Is For

You’re curious about matchmaking. You’re not ready to commit $97 and a screening process without knowing what you’re walking into. You want the real mechanics, not the marketing version, before you decide anything. This guide is for you.

Why $27

The guide answers the questions that would otherwise fill the first fifteen minutes of a consultation call. It gives you enough clarity to decide for yourself whether applying makes sense. You’re not paying for access. You’re paying for a clear, honest explanation before you commit to anything more.

Your Next Step

It includes the Triton Canada screening required before membership. You don’t have to read the guide before you apply. And you don’t have to apply right after you finish it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s actually in the guide?

How professional matchmaking works. What the screening process involves. How to judge whether it’s a fit for you. And what to expect after you apply.

How is this different from just applying?

Applying starts the $97 application and the Triton Canada screening toward membership. The guide is a separate $27 resource that explains that process before you begin it. Many people read the guide first. Then they apply once they’ve decided it’s the right step.

Is this the same as a consultation?

No. The guide is a resource you read on your own time. A consultation means speaking directly with Bobbi about your situation. The guide prepares you for that conversation. It doesn’t replace it.

Do I need to buy the guide before I apply?

No. If you already understand how matchmaking works and you’re ready to start screening, go straight to the $97 application.
