Trustpilot Reviews
Skeptical at first
Skeptical at first, I was impressed with the sophistication of their service. Hayley Harper, my main contact person (the "matchmaker") was highly professional, warm, caring, and empathic.
Expectations met and exceeded
Working with Hayley through Vida has been a game-changer. The difference between doing things myself and engaging with Vida is like night and day. For example, there was a woman I couldn't connect with before. Now, I've texted her, spoken with her, and even made plans to meet. This wouldn't have happened without Vida. If you're not seeing results on your own, make the move.
Excellent Experience
I can't say enough good things about Francesca and VIDA Select - I found the service to be very flexible and reasonable to use. They listened to my preferences and I am now in a loving and caring relationship after only being in the service for 3-4 months. They aren't pushy or demeaning - they really get where you are coming from and also help you navigate some of the red flags that I was so out of practice with. The key is to trust the process and take the time to get the profile and pics right up front.
It has been my pleasure to work with Lorraine Crosse
It has been my pleasure to work with Lorraine Crosse as my matchmaker at Vide Select. Throughout the whole process, which ended in my finding a wonderful partner, Lorraine served as a dedicated, faithful advisor. She was so thoughtful, wise, empathic and experienced throughout this search process. Lorraine is a gentle soul. She was committed to giving her considerable experienced thoughts for each promising partner that came into view. There was no topic that I raised which she would not take up and explore with me. She was a very savvy advisor mixed with the outlook of a committed friend. She exceeded my expectations throughout. I cannot thank Lorraine enough for all that she brought to my successful VIDA Select experience. I wish her the best of luck.
Traveling the odyssey of love with Vida
Shyne and her team offer me wonderful guidance and encouragement in my path toward finding true love. In particular, Shyne and I have an excellent relationship in reaching this goal of finding that special woman for me. Shyne is friendly and insightful in her communication with me. Her team, moreover, is excellent in their initial messages to interesting ladies and follow-up remarks. I highly recommend Vida to anyone in search of a matchmaker that will do their best job at finding that special someone.

Professional Job
My matchmaker, Kedi Karlsen did a professional job of interfacing with me during the process and went above and beyond to make sure I was happy with it. Her insights about dating and communication were invaluable to me and helped me to "up" my dating and communication skills! I found a great match and am exclusive with her in less than three weeks after looking by myself for eighteen months by myself
Nordika Hawken is absolutely amazing!!!
Nordika Hawken is absolutely amazing!!! She is uplifting and always in a good mood. She instantly makes you feel comfortable with the idea of meeting your perfect match. I’ve been married for 17 years and starting to date was mentally draining. She made this experience pleasant, enjoyable and fun! I absolutely adore her!!
Discreet, professional and EFFECTIVE
Tara Baldwin and her team were discreet professional and most importantly EFFECTIVE. One night, one, one date and the rest is history. We have been inseparable since.
