“Laurie Berzack’s Carolinas Matchmaker service is terrific for anyone who is serious about finding a specific type of person. I hired her for her personal matchmaking service. I had several “must-have” qualities that I was looking for in a match, and she exceeded my expectations in finding a terrific match for me. You get what you pay for, and if you have high standards for finding a specific type of person, Laurie’s matchmaker service is money well-spent. I only wish I would have hired her years earlier! We are happily married!”
— N and J, Charlotte, NC

“I found Carolinas Matchmaker at a critical point in my life. After years away from dating and relationships, I struggled to navigate the complexities of modern dating. Thanks to Laurie and her team, I found a pathway to connecting with likeminded individuals who shared my goals, priorities, and values. From the very start, I benefited greatly from expert guidance through each experience, and felt a personal investment in my success and ongoing development. After our time together, I walked away with increased self-confidence and clarity about the person I was looking for.
Only a few months later, I rejoined the online dating scene and met the love of my life. We’re now married and excitedly writing the next chapter of our lives together. I can’t thank Laurie, Molly, Joanna, and Jenn enough for a truly life-changing experience. You gave me the tools I needed to succeed, and helped prepare me to find my best friend and soulmate.”
— Will, Charlotte, NC

“I totally enjoyed and appreciated Laurie and her team at Carolinas Matchmaker. I recognized I needed the support and guidance of true professionals. I had many starts and stops in the dating world. I engaged Carolinas Matchmaker because I realized I was doing the same thing over and over; with the same results. From the very beginning, they prepared you for presenting yourself the best way possible in the daunting dating world; profile, pictures, and coaching . But what I really liked was the work they did to search, vet dates and give helpful feedback. I previously found the process overwhelming and the reason I would frequently give up. Fast forward and I will share the comments of a dear friend after meeting my partner of now four years, ‘I can’t believe you two nut jobs found each other.’”
— Jill Kaplan, Pittsboro, NC

“I married the love of my life, and I never would have found him without the help of Carolinas Matchmaker! Laurie and her team of experts helped me with my photos, profile, and navigating through the intimidating & overwhelming maze of online dating. I never dreamed I could be this happy, and I owe it all to Carolinas Matchmaker. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for true love.”
— M, Wilmington, NC

“I’m so grateful to Laurie and her team for introducing me to someone who is truly an outstanding match in every way. Their insight, care, and attention to detail made the entire experience seamless and incredibly rewarding. Yvonna and I believe this is the beginning of a lifetime journey.”
— L & A Asheville, NC

“For so many years, I found myself in unsuccessful, short, and heartbreaking situationships. It was easy to blame myself for why the relationship didn’t take off and end up with low dating confidence. I was successful in my friendships and career but just could not figure out romantic relationships. What interested me in working with Laurie was the idea of relationship coaching – understanding where I could learn and grow to meet my goal of being in a successful, loving, committed relationship.
What I got was so much more. I got an honest mentor who reminded me of my worth as a human and partner, and taught me how to reframe my so-called failures into learning opportunities and inch my way closer to better matches. I got the confidence to attract those matches and stand up for my needs and desires. I gained an understanding of my attachment style and how to navigate relationships more effectively and securely. Finally, I got the partner I was looking for, when Laurie called me one day and said “I think I found a great match for you!” She had gotten to know me so well, and when someone with all of the qualities I was looking for reached out to her, she immediately thought of me. It is a great match (together 8 months now!) and thanks to her coaching I was able to navigate through the early uncertainties to a place of security and love – and having a lot of fun along the way!
I’m so grateful for the lessons learned working with Laurie and the tools I continue to utilize. It really is about learning and loving yourself, and the blissful side effect can be an outstanding loving relationship with a romantic partner.”
— Rachel, Winston Salem, NC

“Finding love again isn’t always easy—especially after more than a decade away from dating. After not going on a first date in over 12 years, I had no idea where to begin. I spent some time trying to navigate it on my own, but I struggled to find someone who truly aligned with my values and life goals.
I had been following Carolinas Matchmaker on Instagram for over a year when I finally decided: I need support. I needed someone who truly understood the world of modern dating and could walk alongside me, offering guidance and encouragement throughout the process.
Working with Carolinas Matchmaker was a turning point. They helped me challenge my assumptions and focus on what I genuinely wanted in a partner. With their coaching and insight, I felt more confident and clear than ever before.
Then, in June 2025, something incredible happened: a kind, loving, and patient man asked me to marry him—to become a stepfather to my son and a partner for life. We’re getting married this November, and I couldn’t be more excited for the next chapter.
I’m deeply grateful to Laurie and the entire Carolinas Matchmaker team for their dedication, support, and belief in my journey. Thank you for helping me find the love of my life!”
— K, Charlotte, NC

“I cannot recommend Laurie highly enough. My husband and I met through her, and we truly would not have found each other without her because we lived in separate cities at the time. He is the love of my life, and we’re endlessly grateful to Laurie for bringing us together.
She was wonderful to work with—professional, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in understanding who we were and what mattered most. Her insight, care, and integrity set her apart, and we felt supported every step of the way. Laurie has an incredible gift for making meaningful, aligned matches. We are forever grateful to her for bringing us together.”
— M and R, Raleigh, NC

“Laurie and her team are simply the best in the business! She genuinely cares about each of her clients. She listened to my preferences, pushed me out of my comfort zone in a positive way, and made the entire experience enjoyable. Her advice and expertise while I was navigating the online dating scene was priceless. My husband and I are coming up on our 4 year wedding anniversary, and we have two adorable kids. I can’t thank you enough, Laurie!”
— Valerie, Charlotte, NC

“Laurie, thank you! I have been married to Gizelle for almost 3 years now! We travel a lot and this year have been to Europe as well as to India and will be in Brazil over Thanksgiving. One of the things that brings us together is that we’re both very active. You guys really were instrumental in getting me onto this path of putting my life back together. I came to you at a pretty low point and it’s amazing how it has all come together! I really appreciate this – navigating the dating world is not easy and your insights and guidance really helped!”
— David, Charlotte, NC

“The old saying, “You get what you pay for.” is totally true in Laurie’s case! How much would you pay for happiness? Immeasurable right? After a couple of years with the online junk I found Laurie. What a pleasure working with her and the team. After 4 dates (spaced over only 6 weeks) I found love. We moved in together 4 months later and got married 6 months after that. Our 2nd anniversary is just a month away. So what is a life time of happiness and love worth? Thank you Laurie. Wish I had found you sooner. We both are so grateful for your help and guidance. We love you!”

“Laurie is the real deal. She has a huge heart, a nimble mind and a real knack for understanding people. She truly cares about her clients and her results are unmatched (so to speak). Speaking as a former matchmaker myself, I would trust her with my love life above anyone else.”
— Sofi, Toronto, CA
“I have known Laurie for some time. She and her handpicked team work tirelessly for their clients. She is a wise and kind counselor and truly believes in her mission to help people with the journey of personal growth and relationships. She’s the kind of friend and advisor that everyone wished they had.”
— A, Wilmington, NC
“I’m a very happy former client and would hire Laurie and her team again in a heartbeat. When I finally made the decision to find a long-term partner, I knew I needed a more bespoke approach if I was going to find the perfect match here in Charlotte. I took a chance on Laurie, figuring “why not?” Not only did she introduce me (the second introduction!) to my spouse, but she coached me through the dating process, which was very helpful. We’ve been happily married for over 7 years and are the proud parents of two children.”
— C, Charlotte, NC
“I was not nervous going into the first date like I normally am because I knew Laurie had already screened her out and that she’d be a good fit for me! It was such a great and liberating feeling!”
— Paul, Columbia, SC
“Laurie, I so enjoyed our time together yesterday during the consultation! I am feeling a shift already and I have begun listening to Attached on Audible. Woohoo!”
— Jamie, Greensboro, NC
“Laurie and her team are fantastic! My time working with Laurie and her staff definitely was a positive experience. Gained a lot of knowledge. Very grateful to have their insight. Love their honesty and straightforward approach. Highly recommend!”
— Stephen, Oak Island, NC
“Thanks to the Carolinas Matchmaker team, I met someone I am extremely happy with! I canceled my match account today! Woohoo! As far as I’m concerned, the Online Dating Assistance program with Laurie was the best investment I ever made!”
— Pamela, Fort Mill, SC
“Laurie was instrumental in my dating life. She pushed me out of my comfort some. She challenged me. She was an ear to hear my frustrations when that was needed. Laurie was a safe place to go in turbulent waters. She helped me navigate and become stronger in the process. She was exactly what I needed to get me mentally prepared to really date seriously.
I will be always grateful to her and her passion, drive and compassion to help singles be better people and partners and helping us find our life partners.”
— Avi, New York, NY
“Laurie was so professional and enthusiastic about leading a search for me with her excellent staff. I wholeheartedly recommend her services and enjoyed working with her.”
— Christopher, Pittsboro, NC
“Thank you, Laurie, for giving me the confidence boost to try new things in the dating world!”
— Brian, Charleston, SC
“Laurie Berzack is a professional science-based matchmaker and relationship coach. She is an expert in her field and gets results! She is trained professionally and works with singles in an understanding, empathic, trusting, warm, and smart manner! She meets her clients in person and takes time to get to know them, their past experiences, current needs and expectations. She is one of the BEST out there!”
— Terri Orbuch, Best Selling Author and Professor
“I have worked with Laurie and her team and was very impressed and pleased with their professionalism. They are a wonderful resource for putting your best self forward in the dating world. Their packaging and advice was valuable and effective in identifying dating prospects and then guiding you when you are dating. They are a great professional resource like your accountant or lawyer.”
— Barbara, Hillsborough, NC
“If ever there was a match for me, it is this woman. From my perspective, the date was a 10/10 and if she does not feel the same then the blame lies solely with me. It’s unusual to go on a date with someone I have so much in common with. Coming from someone who is typically ambivalent and non-committal, she is a grand slam home run.”
— Paul, Spartanburg, SC
“Laurie is incredible. During the coaching I received from her, which was affordable and fully virtual, she not only helped me re-write my dating profile and choose pictures but gave me pointers on how to stay safe while dating online, which I appreciated. Once my profile went live, I was so overwhelmed by the amount of responses that Laurie went above and beyond and helped me weed through the mountains of emails, continuously reminding me of my value and never to settle. With her help during the Women’s Virtual Dating Bootcamp, I have finally found my person and I have never been this happy. I cannot recommend Laurie and Carolinas Matchmaker enough. Do not hesitate.”
— Samantha, Charlotte, NC
“I married the love of my life, and I never would have found him without the help of Carolinas Matchmaker. Laurie and her team guided me through the overwhelming maze of online dating, and I owe my happiness to them. Highly recommend!”
— Michelle, Charlotte, NC
“Laurie and her staff are great. They thoroughly interview the clients and are very intentional and careful when matching you. They follow up after each match and even offer some advice and coaching. I highly recommend them.”
— Arthur, Concord, NC
“I want to take a moment to thank you for the work that you do and for who you are as a person. For me, your positive energy was the first thing that struck me. You were so easy to talk with and so encouraging in my search for Mr. Right online. I recall early conversations where you pushed me to stay open to all the possibilities. Instead of feeling like it was so hard to meet a man, you maintained that with an open heart and mind, the possibilities were limitless. I believe that change in my perception helped me significantly. My fiancé is someone that I could have easily overlooked and now he is the love of my life and brings me so much happiness. Thank you for believing in love and possibility!”
— Sarah, Concord, NC
“Laurie, you give me self-esteem. It’s like a pep rally. I feel great. I feel like I made a breakthrough!”
— Todd, Wilmington, NC
“All I can say is thank you…and I’ll make sure to invite you to the wedding.”
— William, Charlotte, NC
“I was married for 19 years and then took a year off to figure who I was and then I was ready to find my forever man. I am not on any social media platforms and was very concerned using a tool and putting my details out to the world. I did a lot of research and found Laurie and her amazing team. They were very inquisitive about me personally, great at advising me on how to set up and navigate the online dating experience with Match as well as help me freshen up my wardrobe. They were there for questions I had when I ran into dating conflict, with real life experience on if they could be worked through successfully or if they often end up not working out. Based on their direction, I was able to date 3 men and the 3rd was my unicorn/forever man. I am super thankful her team was there to guide me, support me with my questions and lead me to where I am today. I would say leave this part of your life up to the experts – that is their focus! It may cost you money but it will save you a lot of hunting and craziness out in the world. Thank you Ladies!!”
— T, Charleston, SC
“Thank you so much for meeting with me today! Your insight and intuition are invaluable. I left your office motivated and excited—both of which you were able to inspire in me. Our session was truly soul food.”
— Mark, Asheville, NC
“Laurie, thank you for the tough love and for your honesty and directness to help me on the right path. You were my guiding light and there to prevent me from making a misinformed and careless mistake.”
— Greg, Charlotte, NC
“Laurie has an innate ability to read people and understand their inner workings and desires. It is truly a gift. I wasn’t comfortable with online dating apps. Her counseling lead to an intimate and personalized search that weeded out the surface distractions. It focused in on men who enjoyed similar interests, but more importantly, honed in on shared values and life goals. In fully trusting Laurie and her amazing team’s guidance and experience, I was able to find my life partner.”
— Kate, Greensboro, NC
“Laurie—your energy is infectious! Your advice you gave during the consultation was great, and I’m going to look at breathing new life into my dating strategy.”
— Mary, Hilton Head, SC
“I’ve used several matchmaking services in the past, but never found success. I’m very selective, but Laurie was able to find a match for me and we’ve been dating for 10+ months.”
— Steve, Charlotte, NC
“I came to Laurie unsure if matchmaking was for me, and even more unsure if love was still possible. I had built a full life I was proud of, yet part of me quietly believed that love might not find me again, or I was even worthy of it. Laurie changed that.
She did not try to convince me. She did not rush me. She did not hand me a checklist or a promise. Instead, she took the time to truly see me. My story. My past. The experiences that shaped me. The ways I had learned to protect my heart. Her care felt intentional, grounded, and deeply human.
What makes Laurie extraordinary is the rare balance she holds. She is both intuitive and discerning, compassionate and clear-eyed. She leads with integrity, emotional intelligence. There’s a depth to her understanding that makes you feel safe, respected, and genuinely cared for, never managed.
What I didn’t expect was how healing this process would be. Through her insight, patience, and steady support, Laurie helped me move through layers of pain and self-protection that even years of good therapy hadn’t fully reached. For the first time in a long time, I felt safe enough to soften. Safe enough to hope.
I am still on my journey, but I now believe something I once thought might never be true. With Laurie and her team, love feels possible again. Not forced. Not rushed. Just real.
If you are skeptical, guarded, accomplished, or quietly tired of believing, I see you. I was you. And I can say with my whole heart that Laurie is different.”
— Mandy, Charlotte, NC
“I realized that even though I have an online dating profile, I’ve never truly delved deep into who I am, what I have to offer in a relationship, and the qualities I seek in a partner. After speaking with you, thinking about it all, and taking the time to fill out the application, I feel I have a much better idea of who I am and what I can bring to a relationship.”
— Tiffany, Raleigh, NC
“Laurie is very personable and is very helpful, especially with the online dating world. When I was looking for a second chance at love Laurie provided excellent advice to help me fulfill my dream. I’m ecstatic to report with Laurie’s direction I’m married to a man whom I can only have dreamed about and have such a loving partnership. Laurie is a gem!”
— Betty, Kannapolis, NC
“First of all, let me just say, you are incredibly good at what you do. From start to finish you and your team have made me comfortable and excited and helped to alleviate any stress that comes with your typical “blind date”. But above and beyond that, your genuine caring, your concern for your clients, your complete understanding of their wishes and needs is really what sets you and your organization apart from any other service, app or matchmaking site out there.”
— Kevin, Charlotte, NC
“All is very well. He and I are super happy and we’re just enjoying life! I am so appreciative of Carolinas Matchmaker for helping me navigate online dating. It is such an intimidating endeavor and I enjoyed having y’all coach me through it. I wanted to quit several times, but y’all were so encouraging! Thank you for everything!”
— Tamra, North Charleston, SC
“Laurie is amazing. She really takes time with people and treats them like a close friend! She helped me get to know myself better and helped me work through some of my dating habits that hadn’t worked for me in the past. I felt very safe and cared for by her and her team, which gave me so much confidence as I went out on more and more dates! I’m in a wonderful relationship now and I am so thankful!”
— Tom, Waxhaw, NC
“I chose to work with Laurie and her team because I knew there had to be a better way than dating apps and endless swiping with disappointing results. I was ready to stop guessing and start doing something different.
When I first met Laurie, she said something that stuck with me: “We all need professionals once in a while — you don’t cut your own hair, do you?” She was right. It was time to trust the experts.
What makes our story even more special is that my husband and I were both clients at the time, each with only about a week left in our respective programs. I received a call explaining the situation and asking if I’d be open to a date. I remember leaving our date that night thinking, “Even if nothing comes from this, at least now I know what a GOOD first date feels like.”
About a week later, we went out again. Three months later, we knew it was the real deal. Nine months after that, we were engaged.
Almost six years later, we’ve been married for four years and have two beautiful children — children I once thought might never happen for me. All of it became possible because I finally trusted the right people to help me find the most right person.”
— K and D, Charlotte, NC
“Laurie is amazing! She’s my role model & inspiration.”
— Jenny, Greenville, SC
“Thank you. May God bless you in your life—and in your work.”
— John, Raleigh, NC
“I embraced the matchmaking process with an open mind and an open heart. Placing complete trust in Laurie was a leap of faith and I was blown away with the results. Her guidance, coaching skills, and relationship knowledge are priceless. I was introduced to several great women, but found true chemistry when I met “The One”. She and I connected on so many levels instantly. We knew within the first few dates that our mutual search for each other was over. I cannot remember being this happy in a relationship. Thank you so much, Laurie, for all you do!”
— Cameron, Winston Salem, NC
“I so enjoyed my time with Laurie yesterday during the hour-long consultation. The guidance she gave me was perfect for what I needed to begin to shift and move forward. I already feel things shifting! She also held space for all the emotions that arose as we navigated what I wanted to manifest for myself. What a gift she is for those of us looking for a loving partner! Thank you, dear Laurie!”
— Dawn, Denver, NC
“I could not be happier and I could not have done it without y’all! I am so thankful for your encouragement. I don’t think I would have had the confidence to stick with online dating without your reassurance. Y’all did a great job screening potential matches ensuring that all of the boxes were checked while keeping me safe. I can not thank y’all enough!”
— Amanda, Charlotte, NC
“I came to Laurie several years after the end of my 29-year marriage. I had not dated much in my youth so the prospect of finding a new partner was daunting, to say the least. I decided that hiring a professional matchmaker made sense, much like hiring a lawyer to deal with complex legal matters. After all, there are few decisions which are going to have more impact on your life than who you are going to live with.
Laurie has a reputation for being one of the best and deservedly so – an area where she and her team especially helped me was with coaching and getting me up to speed on how dating works. Especially important was support in helping me figure out what I was looking for in a partner, and finding someone who was also serious about finding a new partner.
I’m now in a relationship with a wonderful lady, and feel that working with Laurie was worth every penny!”
— Kent, Blowing Rock, NC
“Great experience with Laurie and her team! She was successful with my dates and I’m now married to one she introduced!”
— Patrick, Rock Hill, SC
“Laurie it’s like you have a sixth sense! You say what I am feeling or thinking before I am even able to articulate it! You really ‘get me!’”
— Roger, Chapel Hill, NC
“Laurie truly is an amazing person. I signed up for her dating coaching and our first conversation turned into a therapy session that I didn’t even know I needed! In all her expertise, she quickly noticed that I had been inadvertently sabotaging my own dating life. I was in a major slump moving towards depression and I didn’t even realize it was happening. Dating was way too hard, work sucked, I was injured, worked from home in my PJ’s every day, and I never slept at night. Laurie worked with me to get me out of my slump, and we put a plan into action! She checked in on me daily with goals and tasks to keep me on track so that when I do meet Mr. Right, I would be ready for him! She really took the time to make sure I was in the best headspace to be able to sustain a healthy relationship.
I then attended her online dating Bootcamp and we fixed up my dating profile with a killer bio and awesome-looking, professional photos. I’m so happy that we put in the groundwork upfront to facilitate a fulfilling dating experience for me. Laurie really cares about her clients, and I would highly recommend taking the chance and going on this journey with Carolinas Matchmaker.”
— Kay, Raleigh, NC
“Carolinas Matchmaker increased my self-confidence in online dating and in meeting my match by giving me positive feedback, hope, and confidence. The experience was worth every penny I spent.”
— Ellen, Spartanburg, SC
“What a gift Laurie’s business has been to the community. She honors the traditions of matchmaking with a modern flair and respect for her customers’ wishes and needs.”
— Annie, Chapel Hill, NC
“Laurie is absolutely wonderful. I resolved to find a matchmaker because I knew what I wanted, but realized I didn’t have the natural intuition that Laurie has in her approach. Men, if you have known gaps, consider having Laurie and her team support you in the same way that you would have a financial advisor or tax advisor. The results are invaluable and your dates will be worth the investment, especially if you have the same gaps as I do. 5 stars, 10 out of 10, or whatever the rating system is – this is a great path if you are confident in your convictions. Laurie set me up on a date with someone who truly matched my background and wants. I didn’t have many expectations, so I was able to enter the date just as myself. Over dinner, we discussed a wide range of topics that still are going strong as we communicate, even to this day. It’s been three months since that day and I have made the choice each day to continue with that bright cutie from the match made in Charlotte. Thank you again!”
— Sam, Highpoint, NC
“Laurie is truly AWESOME! So intuitive, witty, down to earth, big heart, tells it like it is, true Southern hospitality. She wants only the best for her clients and to spread the LOVE!”
— Linda, Charlotte, NC
“Laurie Carson Berzack you are a true connector. You find the beauty in every person. Thank you for reminding me never to settle and to hold out for my person.”
— Todd, Shelby, NC
“Laurie Berzack’s Carolinas Matchmaker service is terrific for anyone who is serious about finding a specific type of person. I hired her for her personal matchmaking service. I had several “must-have” qualities that I was looking for in a match, and she exceeded my expectations in finding a terrific match for me. You get what you pay for, and if you have high standards for finding a specific type of person, Laurie’s matchmaker service is money well-spent. I only wish I would have hired her years earlier! We are happily married!”
— N and J, Charlotte, NC
“Have you been looking for love in all the wrong places? Laurie is brilliant, honest, and compassionate. She is a dream to work with, and I assure you that you will enjoy the journey. If you are hoping to find love in the most positive way, if you’ve been absent from the dating scene and are looking for honest, up-to-the-minute advice, or are just trying to regain your footing in this strange new world, you need a coach and advocate and a positive, safe way to meet like-minded people, you have come to the right place. This company has years and years of experience and many imaginative modalities to facilitate dreamy social outcomes. Enjoy!”
— Andy, Hendersonville, NC
“The prospect of dating in my late 60s after losing my husband was overwhelming. If it hadn’t been for the support and coaching of Laurie and her crew at Carolinas Matchmaker, I probably wouldn’t have attempted the adventures of online dating. The date coaching process began with a Zoom virtual closet styling session with their stylist. She helped me find outfits that I would feel confident in for a photoshoot and dating. They then arranged for a professional photoshoot and worked with me to craft an interesting, well-written profile. After my profile went live on Match, Laurie and her staff met with me for weekly Zoom coaching sessions to select five appropriate prospects. They taught me how to initiate and continue conversations with prospective dates and also ran background checks before I met with someone in person.”
— B, Raleigh, NC
“Laurie is super talented at bringing people together and helping her clients find their match. She has years of experience and an intuitive sense for introducing people that bring each other love and happiness.
The less obvious part of what Laurie does, but perhaps the most important, is the coaching she does for her clients. She prepares them so they are ready for their dates. This could mean advice on how to interact on a date, what to wear, or being open to someone that is a better fit than the men or women you have been dating. Whether it’s a full matchmaking service or helping you build an authentic and flattering online dating profile she is top-notch. Her heart is in everything she does and Laurie gets the best results for her clients.”
— Sally, Apex, NC
“Laurie and her team are always pleasant, extremely helpful, and caring about your needs and preferences. From professional guidance and coaching on how to approach dating and relationships to incredible matching opportunities that are hand-picked just for you. Laurie has a gift of matchmaking that is truly remarkable, including quality clientele. I would definitely recommend her services.”
— Kevin, Fort Mill, SC
“What I appreciate the most about the service Laurie provides is that it’s not just about finding the perfect match, but also identifying and acknowledging what you need and deserve in a long-term happy relationship. It’s been as much of an experience about self-discovery as it has been about meeting the right person who makes you realize why it never worked out with anyone else who came before them.”
— Marcus, Cary, NC
“As a 54 year-old professional female, I made the smartest decision of my life. I out-sourced my love life to a true expert: Laurie Berzack. Now 62 years of age and married to the most magnificent of men, this was the absolute best personal decision I have ever made.
Laurie and team spent the first weeks just getting to know me. They asked me to dig deep about myself … not only the person I wanted to meet, but much more deeply … who I was and what I offered to the relationship. Wow! And as we explored potential relationships, we began to clarify the best possible matches for me, which were SO much more complex than any algorithm a dating site on its own would provide.
After a number of quality dates, and four months into the search, I finally met … him. My match. My one. And now, my husband. We celebrate our eighth “first date anniversary” in January 2026, and we are more delightfully in love now than in our first year.
If you’re wondering if there’s a better way to find love than working all day at your job, balancing work and your personal life and family, and then struggling to negotiate dating sites in your “spare time” … this is your place.”
— E, Charlotte, NC
“I believe my experiences with Laurie and her team helped build up my confidence in myself and that I had what it takes to be in a serious relationship. I am thankful for Laurie and her team and appreciate all they’ve done for me and my continued growth.”
— Stephen, Durham, NC
“Thanks for all you do! You always bring great insight after each date, you always know the right thing to say and how to say it, and I know without a doubt that you are putting 100% into serving me as a client. You are far more than a matchmaker—you have become a valued life coach!”
— Matt, Pinehurst, NC
“I had a great experience with the entire Carolinas Matchmaker team – especially my coach, Molly. Not only did they help me grow personally, but they also helped me find my person and the love of my life. I highly recommend working with Carolinas Matchmaker, it has been the best money I have ever spent with a priceless return on investment.”
— L, Charlotte, NC
“Carolinas Matchmaker helped me think through how to position what I wanted for my future as it relates to a relationship with a man. They were efficient in sending me matches each week and talking through how things were going as I navigated the online dating scene. And it was more fun with them by my side along the way!”
— Sarah, Raleigh, NC
“The title “matchmaker” does not sufficiently capture everything Laurie provides to her clients. She has devoted countless hours to me, not only in the search for a spouse, but also in coaching, advising, and ongoing support. Laurie has been an honest, compassionate, and articulate guide, helping me through each step of the journey with care and clarity. You can tell she genuinely enjoys matchmaking and she will be there for all the moments along the way for every client.”

“I was a part of Laurie’s Women’s Virtual Dating Bootcamp, and it was an incredible experience! Laurie really thought of everything! She gave profile pointers, assisted with photo selection (and referred us to a wonderful local photographer), taught us how to stay safe online, and showed us how to set search parameters in order to find the perfect match. As a result of the Bootcamp, I have gotten online and am currently dating! I highly recommend this experience to anyone and good luck in your search. You can do this with Laurie’s help!”

“Many of the men I have connected with have told me how my pictures and profile stand out online. Thanks to Laurie and her staff, I have dated several interesting men. I’m currently dating a fascinating man and looking forward to where the future will take us. If you’re looking for professional expertise to help you navigate the shark-infested waters of online dating, Carolinas Matchmaker is well worth the investment.”

“I began working with Laurie and the Carolinas Matchmaker team earlier this year. After the standard meeting to understand my dating preferences, I began meeting some very nice women. Although the first couple of women were not a perfect fit, I was recently matched with an amazing and beautiful woman! I’m extremely happy to say that I cannot wait to see what the future holds for myself and this woman! #trusttheprocess”
