    I was recruited by someone who found me on LinkedIn. Was told I'd be given a complimentary profile and "2" matches. When I asked why offer it to me for free they didn't exactly answer directly but it's obvious they need men for their female paying members in the Tampa Bay area. On paper I'm probably a good fit - I have a Phd, etc. The person who called to gather my profile information was unprofessional, wouldn't answer my questions directly and seemed annoyed to be speaking with me which was odd since they reached out to me, not the reverse.

    They sent an agreement and before I signed the DocuSign I was receiving spam emails and texts - one person even purporting to be someone from Elite Connections. After bringing this up to Sherri - the president of the company, she couldn't answer why I was being spammed. She also didn't address my follow up questions via email, and in one instance when I asked for the third time said "I replied to that, it must not have reached you" but chose still, not to answer my question. To make matters worse, I never signed the DocuSign and ultimately rejected "the offer" but alas it's probably too late. They should protect their data better if someone has access to it. I get the sense that technology of 2025 has caught up with them and they're a bit clueless as to how to manage the organization.

    Elite has been exactly what I had been looking for in a quality matchmaking service. Roni and her team have gone above and beyond to help me through the process. I couldn’t recommend them more! All the matches are background checked and vetted and the process felt very organic even though they were the ones setting me up.

      She (RONI) will take your money, set you up with garbage matches and then refuse to give your funds back. Sue if she screwed you too. And make sure to serve her via Secretary of State because she’ll dodge. She’s been dodging for a year. But can’t get away from SOS service. Our pretrial hearing is in MAY.

      This site purports to offer an "elite" service. What it actually did is charge me $200 up front, only for me to find out that about 80% of the profiles are scams. Literally 4/5 of the women I spoke to asked me the exact same questions right off the bat: "How long have you been on this site? How does it compare to other sites? I'm just asking because I'm new. By the way, I really like you, can I have your contact information?" This within the first 5 minutes. I'm fairly sure that the company pays these people to do this, as the profiles and responses are much too similar to be coincidence across random people. This should be illegal.

      I thought it would live up to its ad that its users were highly educated and professional. Alas, it's just like all the rest. The system provides me with matches that are questionable in existence, too far away, and the site itself is very poorly designed. It allows for photos of users standing behind their phone in the bathroom and doesn't appear to oversee the words in the profiles.

      The reviews stating that Elite is a scam are exactly right. I was recruited and not charged and told not to tell my dates that I was not a paying customer. (Apparently I have the profile they were looking for - an attorney, etc). The women they provided actually were quality people but they were being misled and defrauded, because Elite was telling them that I and others they met had paid the same multi-thousand dollar fee. I actually reported Elite to the FBI.

      I have worked with a service in the past that promised me I would find the love of my life and in a very disappointing turn of events, resulted in zero compatible matches. I reached out to Elite after some hesitation because of the other service but I am very glad I did. I have been with Elite almost 3 months now and am having a terrific experience. I initially met with ** in the Fort Lauderdale office and after a lengthy discussion she and I felt ready to move on to the next step. Knowing my past experience she did not pressure me and really took the time to get to know me. She made me feel very comfortable and I could tell she was very genuine in having my best interest at heart.

      I have received a few matches, all equal to the quality I had hoped for in coming to Elite. The first gentleman I met was professional and very sweet but didn't have that spark I was looking for and I passed on my second match as I felt he wasn't physically my type. Now almost 3 months in I think I met the man I am looking for. We have seen each other 4 or 5 times and have plans to meet again this week. He is charming, intelligent, and very easy on the eyes. The relationship is still relatively new but I am very happy I decided to use Elite!

      I paid nearly $8,000, met zero men from Elite. I said yes (reluctantly) to some supposed “matches” who then supposedly then said they didn’t want to meet me. They actually never existed. I am a slim, attractive, successful woman whom many men ask out on dates; just not what I am looking for, so turned to Elite w/ 3 criteria. They assured me they had “many” men but they didn't. They sent boiler plate "matches" not even paying attention to my criteria, one of which was a golfer. They didn't even ask or even know if they were? So for $8,000 know that they do NOT listen to your criteria.

      For months I asked just for the 3 criteria to be met/a re-start. I specifically asked Elite to honor their word - the initial conversation I had with ** and submitted emails after every supposed "match" that wasn't at all what I was looking for. I urge you to read all the other, numerous complaints about this agency. Hopefully others won't sign up and hopefully someone will have more money than me to prosecute them. Though do read the complaints that state they won their legal case but still have not been reimbursed.

      I wanted to update my review as I feel Elite has made a great attempt to resolve the issues I experienced. My original matchmaker was replaced with Roni who has been fantastic. She immediately set me up with someone who while he wasn't what I was looking for, was a very nice person and we had a nice date.

      Then she set me up with someone who was exactly what I was looking for and we dated for some time. Sadly, the relationship did not work out but that had nothing to do with Elite. I still feel like the options are limited but patience may pay off. I like the anonymity and the vetting process Elite offers and believe Roni understands what I am looking for so I will remain hopeful.

      Original Review: June 15, 2014

      My initial impression with Elite was very good. I had a nice experience with the "Senior Relationship Consultant" (SRC) who has an office in a modern, impressive building in Foggy Bottom. I thought this is exactly what I am looking for, high end, professional, and discreet service. We had a two hour "get to know you" session where I was made to feel she understood what I was looking for and there would be no problem finding someone to match me with, she already had ideas.

      That is where it ended, I was passed on to a "Matchmaker" (which apparently is the standard process). Unfortunately, she lives in Boston and has very little knowledge of DC or the area. Additionally, she seems extremely overwhelmed, is always rushed, and although I fully explained my preferences and deal breakers to the SRC, I had to go through this process again with her twice in two months. The first match/profile she sent me seemed great however, he rejected mine (which is fine, we all have our preferences). After weeks of not hearing anything and me sending an email to her and the SRC, I finally received another profile and although it did not match any of my preferences I thought I would give it a try.

      Our "date" was a meet for a drink at 8pm on a Monday night that lasted one hour (thankfully). I feel this was just an appeasement date since this guy has been with Elite for over a year and basically goes on dates when she calls...really?? I received one more match ... a very grainy picture of a man who lives part time here and part time in Florida...really? Please DO NOT WASTE your hard earned money or time. It seems they really do not have clients in their data base here in DC or they are trying to get more money explaining "it takes time for the right match". I am an attractive, active, successful 50 year old woman (no one ever guesses I am older than 42). I feel the need to warn anyone who reads this, you will receive better service and responses/dates from match.com for significantly less money. Unfortunately, it is not a discreet way to meet people but that's life. Good luck with your search.

      Elite Matchmaking author review by Mark Brooks

      Elite Matchmaking is a matchmaking service that has been in business for 22 years. The company operates in Beverly Hills, Houston, San Diego, San Francisco, Boston, Orange County, Fort Lauderdale, D.C. and New York.

      • Personal attention: Elite pairs clients with a relationship consultant who spends time getting to know the client's personality. After the consultation, a matchmaking team pairs the client with others, leaving computer algorithms out of the mix.

      • Feedback offered: After a client has used their service, Elite offers clients the chance to have a one-on-one feedback session on how to improve their dating skills. This makes the client's experience an educational one and often helps improve customers' future dates.

      • Pre-approvals: Members who use Elite Matchmaking are offered the benefit of getting to screen and pre-approve date candidates before they meet, which eliminates any matches that a client knows will not make a good partner off-the-bat.

      • Large database: Elite has a database of thousands of potential matches, offering clients a large pool from which they can be matched and increasing the chances of finding a successful pairing.
