VIDA is Highly Recommended!

First of all I had the warmest welcome and gained confidence to continue the process after talking with Mike Pearl. Thank you Mike!

Then Nabeelah my matchmaker made me feel heard, understood and went over and beyond to cater to my specific needs. VIDA showed professionalism, patience and genuine care for me and that is priceless. Thank you Nabeelah and team for all you’ve done and continue to do!

Only positive experiences

My match maker was Nordika and I have nothing but good things to say about her. She did a great job helping me find interesting people on the dating apps. She was always available to help if there were any issues and seemed to care that I find the person I am looking for. I would recommend her to anyone who was on dating apps.

Positive Experience

I tried out the service with Vida for a few months and had a positive experience overall. They do a thorough job of covering all the bases, from styling to photos and a personalized matchmaker. My matchmaker, Kedi, was very attentive and answered my many questions throughout the process. Although I haven't found my match quite yet, I did have a number of dates generated and plan to utilize the service again if needed. I would definitely recommend the service to others, especially for busy professionals or anyone needing personalized help navigating the online dating world of today.

Highly recommend

Honestly, it has been a wonderful experience so far. I have had a lot of experience with different dating apps and matchmaking services and this is top notch. I feel that my matchmaker Francesca is on the same page as me, understands what I'm looking for and checks in frequently. The writers who make your profiles are exceptionally clever and the team who puts your profile together really puts you in the best light. I know this sounds too good to be true but trust me when I say that this service is LEGIT. In addition, they are not asking for tens of thousands of dollars up front (like many other matchmaking services who do not deliver AND take your money) and I feel that the quality here is unmatched. If you're tired of the dating game, swiping endlessly and getting nowhere, then this is for you. You won't regret it.

Sometimes an organizational scramble

The company is still personable but I found there were times when things were a little disjointed and choppy. For example, it was up to the last two hours before I was to have been scheduled for a date when Vida was still trying to get a hold of my date to determine where he wanted to meet for dinner. I wanted to plan, knowing that I may have to leave earlier depending on how far away the date was...and was still trying to get ready and accommodate the drive time there.

Hi Lisa,


Thank you for giving us 4-stars, we’re thrilled we were able to deliver 28 date opportunities during the 2 months you were with us! I really appreciate you taking the time to provide feedback about your experience, as client input is invaluable to us. I understand your concerns about the scheduling for the date you mentioned in your review, and I'd like to address them and provide some insights into our approach.


We set up the date with the best intentions, but an unexpected work-related issue forced your Bumble match to postpone the date at the last minute. Unfortunately this situation was out of our control, as your match needed to reschedule due to the unforeseen circumstances. I was glad to see he did invite you for a call later that day, and offered to reschedule the date for the following week!


I totally understand this was not the ideal outcome, as it was inconvenient for you as you were trying to prepare for your date. We’ve taken your experience and feedback into account, and we’ll continue to work on minimizing any disruptions to the extent that we can.

I wish you all the best as you continue to see where things go with all the matches we have found for you! - Lorraine

Highly Recommended …

I got burned badly by a different dating company so I was hesitant to use another but I’m so glad I worked with Viktoria at VIDA select. They were super attentive, responded quickly to messages and in short, did everything they said they would do. I’d definitely recommend them.

Good value and impressive profile enhancements

Melissa was assigned as my matchmaker for the process. Her and the team were quite kind, efficient, and professional in their interactions. There is good value for the price considering the long initial intake call, questionnaires, visual identity, and development of icebreakers and new profiles. Melissa took sufficient time getting to know me and I was most quite impressed and pleased by the prompts/bios written for my profiles. They were spot on and clearly articulated who I am and what I was looking for in a very compelling way. My photos were enhanced which was a nice improvement. I became more confident throughout the process and I feel more comfortable with how I am presented on the dating apps now. Although I haven't found the one, the service improved the response rate and increased the duration and quality of my conversations. Melissa and team were thoughtful and strategic in their interactions but at the end of the day, the match needs to be reciprocal and many matches would "ghost" or I would learn more about them and realize they are not the one for me. I gave 4 stars because although the service is excellent; this does not guarantee quality matches or finding the one. VIDA can only do so much! Navigating the dating apps has become a frustrating job since they are rigged with algorithms. With VIDA's guidance and knowledge, it helped with getting me noticed and seeing better results. I would highly recommend considering the service for anyone who may feel at a loss with the dating apps because you will definitely gain something positive from this experience.

I only had a short time with Vida, but check this out...

I only had a brief time with Vida Select. I had pics done and my basic profile was written. Vida Select chose the best pictures and polished my profile. Ms. Kedi Karlsen was a great support to get/keep things moving. The crazy thing is... An amazing lady loved my Pics and profile and reached out to me, along with a few others. It was a bit overwhelming, but we've been together for about 3 weeks, and "she" is breathtakingly, amazing. So... I am now off Vida Select, but they helped her and I to find each other and quickly at that. I couldn't be more pleased with Vida Select and their team.

My experience began with my first…

My experience began with my first contact with Rhonda, she explained everything and having been in the business for 20 plus years assured me this service was the best available. Then I was introduced to
Francesca who was my primary point
Person. She made sure that I was represented exactly as I wished to be.
I couldn’t have asked for a more caring and concerned person, she is fantastic!! Now to the good stuff.
They sent me profiles of ladies to review several times a week and I met someone within 10 days and so
Far the connection is amazing !
Because I don’t want to date but one woman at a time Francesca put everything on hold just in case.
The service is not inexpensive but at
This point worth every nickel!

Thank you so much for your kind words, Stan. You were a joy to work with and it does not surprise me that you've been snatched up so quickly. As I said when we last spoke, please do keep me updated on how everything goes with this special lady. I am so happy for you and wishing you both all the best!

Courteous Service

I worked with Briona Sutherland and her team. Every step I was met with courteous professionalism and I will be using their service again if I need to. Dating is always overwhelming for me, so having VIDA was a source of reassurance. Briona was always available and able to answer my questions, and most of the matches they found for me had potential.

Vida Dating so far has been great

Shyne Gabriel and her helper Cristina on days off made my experience great along with the ghost writer. I haven't had so many dates in such a short time thanks to them. Shyne listened to any issues I had and would work with me financially if I had any issues. I've got so many dates that I don't know if I'll be able to keep up with them. Hopefully one of them will work out, but if not I'll be coming back to Vida. I really wasn't sure this would work, but amazingly it does. I would highly recommend Vida dating and the matchmaker Shyne Gabriel.

Vida

Vida, frustrating and a NO. The teams did not take direction. I'd write to use one profile and they would post another. This happened repeatedly. The writer's writing was at a low level. Many sentences didn't make sense or simply were not even complete sentences. The team has form letters they send on any issues that minimize the problem insinuiating that they just don't know your taste and need more time when the problem was basic grammar. Example, the swiping team sent a match that had obscene language and it was clear no one was looking at matches they would pick. Vida customer service was quick to say it was a matter of taste. No, they weren't reading profiles. The person was reported and taken off the site. Again, the form letter said they were getting to know my taste. It's a low level group, stay clear.

Hi Leslie, Tara your matchmaker here. Thank you for taking the time to share your viewpoint on your experience. Every piece of feedback is invaluable to us, and we strive to ensure our clients always feel heard and understood.

I genuinely regret that the service did not meet your expectations. That said, I am pleased we were able to facilitate a date that you said went well! At the end of the day, our approach is not everyone's cup of tea, and for some, placing trust in the process is a challenge. I completely understand.

However, there are some specifics you've mentioned that need clarification, since they've been shared on a public platform.

The profile that you found objectionable was not a match our team presented to you for approval. You took a screenshot of this particular profile and shared it with me, expressing your intent to report it to the dating app, before we had completed the vetting process.

And while I regret that you saw content you personally found objectionable, humor is subjective, as is what someone might consider obscene. In the case of this particular profile, the line of concern (“Not allowed to say I’m Rich, Hung, and Funny, but I can say I’m not bald, bitter, or broke”) could be taken as light-hearted banter by some, while others might find it distasteful. Both reactions are valid.

Learning the nuances of your personal tastes and preferences does take time, and our approach to your search is an evolving one. We continuously refine the search based on the feedback we receive, learning more about our clients' preferences as we progress. This iterative process is a cornerstone of how we've successfully matched thousands of clients.

Regarding your profile text, our writing team produced several drafts based on your inputs. I even had a call with you where we created a document together, going through what you wanted to express in your profile and noting specific words and sentences you wanted used. The writers then took your requested material and edited it to accommodate the character counts on the dating platforms. It was indeed unexpected to note that some of your criticisms pertained to this new version of your profile.

While the vast majority of our clients leave the service satisfied, on rare occasions our approach simply isn’t the right fit for a particular individual. This is precisely why we offer a flexible pay-as-you-go model, with monthly packages rather than long-term contracts.

I know our Client Success Manager reached out to you via email, and I was disappointed to see you didn’t respond to her before posting this review. I encourage you to reach out to her, but if not, then I wish you all the best in your search!
