What is Handmade Match?

Handmade Match is a curated, in-person matchmaking service in Phoenix. It isn't a dating app. A real person reads your profile, chooses one person for you, and invites you both to an evening of private, guided conversation that lasts about two hours.

Who is it for?

Single adults, 18 and older, in Phoenix. Everyone is welcome, whoever you're hoping to meet. We match people of every orientation and gender. If you're tired of swiping and ready for one real conversation, it's for you.

How much does it cost?

Your profile is free. We invite you only when we find you a match. If you attend, it's $99 for the evening. No packages. No consultations. No monthly fees. No subscription. You don't pay to be considered.

How is this different from other matchmakers?

Many matchmakers sell packages or annual memberships. We don't. There's nothing to buy up front. You pay $99 only for an evening you attend.

How is it different from a dating app?

No swiping, no scrolling, and no algorithm deciding who you see. A person reads your whole profile and chooses one person for you. Then you meet face to face for one unhurried conversation.

What happens at an evening?

A few other guests arrive around the same time, but this isn't a mixer. You're introduced to the one person we chose for you, and the two of you settle into a private space for about two hours. We provide questions to guide the conversation, so there's no pressure to fill silences. No rounds. No rotating. No mingling.

Where are the evenings held?

In a calm, private venue we choose. Not a bar. We tell you exactly where when we invite you, and a host is there all evening.

Do I have to give my number to my match?

No. No one is ever put on the spot. At the end of the evening, you each answer a short, private questionnaire. We share contact information only if you both say yes. If only one of you does, nothing is shared, and neither of you is told.

What if I don't hear from you?

It means "not yet," not "no." We reach out when we find someone we think you should meet. Your profile stays with us until then.

Is my information private?

Yes. We never sell your information, and we don't use it to train AI or to serve ads. We share your contact details with a match only if you both say yes. The full details are in our Privacy Policy.
