Luxe Matchmaking (LUMA): April Davis Proactively Coaches Singles & Arranges Compatible Dates in 30+ Cities

The Short Version: Based in the Midwest, Luxe Matchmaking (aka LUMA) offers busy daters an alternative to impersonal dating websites and overwhelming nightclubs. Instead of going out in search of a compatible date, you can have an experienced matchmaker do the searching for you. This longstanding matchmaking firm has access to a vast network of high-quality singles, and top-notch recruiters continually seek ideal matches for their clients. Currently, Luxe Matchmaking introduces compatible men and women in over 30 cities in the US. The personalized dating services also include singles events, dating coaching, online profile assistance, and other hands-on guidance from dating experts. By vetting and arranging your first dates, the matchmakers at Luxe Matchmaking ensure you have a good time with relationship-oriented singles who meet your standards.

For a farmer living in the countryside, meeting people isn’t easy. One single man was surrounded by farmland, not date prospects, so he turned to Luxe Matchmaking for some help. He wanted a wife, and he trusted the matchmakers to find the right woman for him.

April Davis, the CEO and Founder of the boutique matchmaking company, sent recruiters into a bigger town a couple hours away from the farmer. They began asking around about single women in their client’s age range. When they found someone they thought would be a good fit for him, the matchmakers set up the date. He ended up marrying the woman they introduced him to.

April told us the couple is still together and have started a family. “That’s what it’s about,” she said. “We’re in business to make babies. Not everyone can say that. It’s pretty rewarding.”

CEO April Davis founded Luxe Matchmaking to cater to high-caliber singles looking for love.

Luxe Matchmaking began with one Midwestern girl doing what she loved — helping single people meet someone special. April Davis began networking with eligible singles out of a desire to fix up her friends and family, and it soon snowballed into a full-blown business model.

Eventually, April’s social connections and human intuition led her to start her own matchmaking firm, Luxe Matchmaking (LUMA), which now operates in over 30 cities in the US.

A majority of LUMA clients are busy professionals seeking commitment. The men and women range in age from their early 30s to late 50s and generally represent all different orientations and backgrounds. They choose to invest in Luxe Matchmaking because they’re ready to settle down but have difficulty meeting desirable date prospects. That’s where April’s experienced matchmaking team comes in. The matchmakers hunt through their database, recruit singles in the real world, and do all the legwork necessary to find that perfect match.

“My clients are business owners, executives, attorneys, entrepreneurs — it runs the gamut,” April said. “Basically, they’re singles who don’t want to deal with online dating and just want to find a person to have a relationship with.”

The Luxe Matchmaking team acts as advisers, confidants, and go-betweens for singles with not enough time or experience to date on their own.

The matchmaking process is fairly simple and straightforward. First you undergo an in-depth interview with your personalized matchmaker to discuss who you are and what you want. Next, you’ll receive some dating coaching so you know what to work on on your end while the matchmakers do everything they can on their end to ensure a good first date. This elite matchmaking team interviews an average of 40 date prospects on behalf of a single client.

“I felt Luxe Matchmaking actually took the time to listen to what I was looking for and did a great job in incorporating my wishlist,” wrote Eric S. Blaine, a former client. “I liked the thorough questioning, which helped me to understand better what I am actually looking for.”

Once they find someone who meets the client’s standards, goals, lifestyle, and personality, Luxe Matchmaking makes the introduction. The matchmakers like to plan activity-based dates, even something as simple as going for a walk, to give the couple something to do and talk about. “It’s not just dinner and drinks,” April said. “We found when you’re more interactive, you get better results, especially for reserved daters.”

After the date, both individuals give the matchmaker feedback on how it went and what they thought of the other person. If they both express interest in going out again, the matchmaker will facilitate the exchange of contact information, and the couple can take it from there.

Luxe Matchmaking’s team saves daters time by vetting potential matches and arranging dates.

The matchmaking team can also serve as wingmen or wingwomen for clients, essentially going undercover at parties, bars, and other social settings to make introductions on the spot. If you want to meet people more organically, but maybe lack the social skills or confidence to go it alone, the matchmakers are happy to smooth the way and help clients get over their shyness.

In everything they do, from wardrobe styling to dating coaching, the goal of the Luxe Matchmaking team is to get the client in a relationship as soon as possible. “We cater to whatever the person needs,” April said. “We can provide a makeup artist, online profile help, a photo shoot, or straight-up dating coaching. It depends on what that client needs.”

Sometimes certain clients present a challenge for the matchmakers, but they do their best to work around different personalities and dating standards. For instance, a billionaire in Miami came to Luxe Matchmaking with very specific tastes. The matchmaking team took his dating criteria seriously and searched for a woman who was a good fit. Eventually they introduced him to a wonderful woman, whom he’s been dating for over two years now.

What makes Luxe Matchmaking stand out from other matchmaking businesses is the team’s philanthropic mission. April donates 10% of the company’s profits to good causes around the world. Luxe Matchmaking also hosts charitable events for singles to raise money for nonprofits, such as local animal shelters. At these fundraisers, singles socialize with one another while giving back to the community, so it’s a win-win situation.

The fundraisers for animal rescue groups are particularly popular. This is an issue that a lot of singles flock to and bond over because so many people have pets or grew up with pets. “It’s something people care about, and we have good turnout,” April said. “It’s a good way to bring people together, and it’s just the right thing to do.”

April’s team of luxury matchmakers bring a lot of life experience to the table.

Luxe Matchmaking employs a diverse group of good-hearted people from relationship therapists to matchmakers with over 20 years of experience. “You have to have different perspectives to be the most effective,” April said. “I can’t just rely on my perspective alone.”

In addition to their individual specialties, everyone on the team is also a certified life coach. Every year, the Luxe Matchmaking team takes a coaching certification class to learn new techniques for motivating and advising daters in need of direction.

Dating coaching is an important part of the matchmaking process because it can help clients avoid the mistakes that sabotage a relationship. April said being married to a divorce attorney gives her unique insight into what makes a relationship fall apart down the road, so she passes on valuable guidance to singles looking to get married.

“A lot of times, we are our own worst enemies and trip ourselves up on dates,” April said. “So having a coach to call you out on things can be really helpful.”

The matchmakers at Luxe Matchmaking are honored to be part of so many touching love stories. Whenever a wedding invitation comes their way, the team beams with pride.

At one wedding, April said the maid of honor even quoted her matchmaking bio describing the groom to his bride-to-be. April was shocked to hear the words she’d written now being shared at a wedding reception for her clients. The maid of honor concluded that the couple was perfectly matched because they fit each other’s desired qualities so well. “It was kind of crazy and cool,” April said. “Everybody was there that day because of what I do.”

April enjoys pairing up dates and introducing people who never would’ve met without her intervention. Sometimes she takes a chance with an unconventional match and nails it. One intellectual man, for example, ended up hitting it off with a wine connoisseur who was his complete opposite in terms of job and personality type. But they balanced each other out. “You never know what package that person will come in,” April concluded.

“April has a natural talent for understanding people and is really good at knowing which people will work well with each other.” — Tim B., a Luxe Matchmaking client

Luxe Matchmaking has made a name for itself by helping so many singles get into a long-term relationship. The Testimonials page features just some of the praise the matchmakers receive from former clients. “Luxe Matchmaking is a first-class dating service,” wrote Aason S., a client in Minneapolis. “My fiancé and I are extremely happy and planning our wedding for next year.”

“I love that they don’t just match paying clients with other clients,” said Jason M., another satisfied client. “I met my current girlfriend through my matchmaker and am sincerely grateful. She really knows what she’s doing.”

The Luxe Matchmaking team goes the distance to scout out the dating terrain and deliver compatible dates to you — even if you live way out in the middle of nowhere. Whether you’re a farmer or a billionaire, a first-time dater or a divorcee, April’s high-end matchmaking team can connect you with that special someone to spend the rest of your life with.

Working out of offices across the country, Luxe Matchmaking helps singles with high standards and busy schedules land a great date.

“My job is to come up with adjectives to describe people. I have to visualize what people want, what their top values are, and what will be good for them long-term,” April explained. “I make those connections, and I change people’s lives.”
