A private matchmaker for people who rebuilt their life
in Miami
Miami gained a new professional class in a few years: funds and family offices in Brickell, founders who left New York and California, executives who run Latin American business from here. Many of them arrived alone, with a full calendar and no one to introduce them. Velin Privé is a private matchmaker for that situation, for men and for women, and every introduction is made by a person, not an app.
Everyone you want to meet
is new here too
The move south was real. Hedge funds and private equity firms opened offices in Brickell, people started calling it Wall Street South, and a wave of founders followed for the weather and the taxes. What the moving trucks did not bring was the dinner-party network that does quiet matchmaking in older cities. Most of the people at your level have been here two or three years. Their friends are still mostly colleagues.
The city does the rest. The visible social life runs late, loud and young, from South Beach to Wynwood, and the apps reflect that. People who want a family and a quiet Sunday in the Grove are here in large numbers. They are just not where Miami is easiest to see.
A brief that knows
where you come from
In Miami a partner search is often also a question of language and family. Some members want someone who speaks Spanish at home, or Portuguese, or Russian. Some want a partner whose parents will understand theirs. Others moved here precisely to leave that question open. None of this fits into an app filter, and all of it fits into a written brief.
That is why we treat culture as part of the portrait, not a footnote. It decides where the search goes: Miami first, then Latin America, Europe or wherever the person you describe is more likely to live today. Our matchmaking network is international for exactly this reason.
Velin Privé Target Search
in Miami
We work with men and women alike, because every search runs on Velin Privé Target Search. Velin Privé Target Search is executive search for your personal life, built on marketing expertise. We use the same tools that businesses use to find a specific customer, and apply them to finding one specific person: a precise portrait of who you are looking for, targeted outreach to the people who match it, first in our own database, then far beyond it. Every candidate is personally vetted before an introduction.
In Miami the portrait starts with the life you are building here: the neighbourhood you chose, the languages at your table, how often you fly to New York or São Paulo. Outreach runs through Brickell, Coral Gables and the city's finance, tech and business circles first, then across Florida, Latin America and Europe. It works the same whether you are a woman looking for a man or a man looking for a woman.
Memberships start at $1,840 for 6 months. Velin Privé Target Search is available on any membership, from $700. All tiers are on our pricing page.
The men worth meeting
are not on the scene
Accomplished women in Miami tell us the same thing: plenty of attention, very little intention. The men who moved here to build a fund or a company and now want a family rarely advertise it on an app, and they are not at the places the city is famous for. We approach them directly, using the portrait you approved, and you hear a name only after your matchmaker has checked him.

Ask your questions
on a call
Bring the Miami questions to the call: two cities in one year, a family that expects a certain kind of partner, a name people in Brickell recognise. We will tell you plainly how the search would run before anything is signed.
From a call
to a first meeting
- 01
A call, wherever you are this week. Thirty minutes about your life in Miami, the months you spend elsewhere and what you want next.
- 02
Your brief, in your languages. A questionnaire and two in-depth interviews become a written portrait of the person we are looking for, in English or Spanish, including family culture if it matters to you.
- 03
Screening before anything else. We look in our own network first, then reach out in Miami, across Florida and abroad, and vet every candidate before you hear a name. A written report arrives every two weeks.
- 04
The introduction. Both of you say yes separately. The first meeting is a private video call hosted by your matchmaker, away from the places where everyone knows everyone.
What happens between the brief and the first name is described in how executive dating services find matches.
A big city
with a small top floor
The people who run money and companies in Miami fit into a few buildings in Brickell and a few streets in Coral Gables. A dating profile here is seen by the people you pitch next week. With us there is no profile: your name reaches a potential match only after you say yes, and the first meeting is a private video call hosted by your matchmaker.
If your year runs between Miami and Manhattan, our New York page covers the other half. If you came here from Texas, see Austin. Memberships and what each includes are on our pricing page.
Miami matchmaker prices,
published side by side
Miami has no shortage of matchmakers, and many of them sell access to a social scene: events, parties, a members' list. Prices are rarely on the website. Below is what the services Miami clients compare most often publish or are reported to charge, from lunch-date companies to firms with six-figure fees.
| Service | Model | Published or reported price |
|---|---|---|
| Velin Privé | Own network + active search, worldwide | $1,840–$6,210, 6 to 18 months |
| It's Just Lunch | Lunch dates, local offices | $1,500–$6,000 per contract |
| Three Day Rule | Matchmaking, US cities | $5,900–$20,500 per contract |
| Elite Connections | Elite agency | from $15,000 per 6 months |
| Millionaire's Club | Patti Stanger's agency | $45,000–$120,000 a year |
| Kelleher International | Elite agency, 12-month minimum | $30,000–$300,000 a year |
| Selective Search | Retained search | $50,000–$500,000 per contract |
Prices in US dollars, checked 23 October 2026 from the firms' own sites, press coverage and independent reviewers. Several are estimates, because most firms quote only after a consultation. The full comparison of 19 services is in our matchmaker cost calculator.
In a city where meeting people is easy, the expensive part is screening. Every person we introduce in Brickell, Coral Gables or Miami Beach has been vetted by your matchmaker, and both of you have said yes before the first conversation, which happens on a private video call.
What people in Miami
ask us first
I moved to Miami for work and barely know anyone outside it. Where do I start?
With a private call, not a profile. A lot of our Miami members arrived in the last few years with a firm, a fund or a company, and their week is still mostly work. Your matchmaker builds the search around the life you are setting up here, so you do not need a local circle first.
I am a woman looking for a man in Miami. Can you help?
Yes. We work with women and men alike, and every search runs on Velin Privé Target Search. We describe the man you are looking for in writing, then approach men who match, in Miami, elsewhere in Florida, in New York or in Latin America. Every candidate is vetted personally before an introduction.
Can my matchmaker work in Spanish or with someone from Latin America?
Yes. Miami is bilingual by default, and many members want a partner who shares a language, a family culture or a tie to a particular country. Put that in the brief. It shapes who we reach out to as much as age or career does.
Miami feels like a city of nights out. Is that a problem for a serious search?
Only if you look for a partner where the city performs. The people we introduce are usually the ones who are not on the scene: they work long days, go home early and have stopped using apps. Finding them is the whole point of a targeted search.
I split my year between Miami and New York. Does that make it harder?
It is common here and we plan for it. The brief records where you actually spend your weeks, and introductions can happen in either city. Our New York team works the same way, so a search can run across both without starting over.
How private is the process in a city where everyone in finance knows each other?
Nothing about you is published. Your name goes to a potential match only after you agree to it, and the first meeting is a private video call hosted by your matchmaker. Brickell and Coral Gables are small worlds; the process is built for that.
How much does a matchmaker in Miami cost?
Reported prices start at about $1,500 for lunch-date services and reach $45,000 to $120,000 a year at the Millionaire's Club, with Kelleher International and Selective Search higher still. Velin Privé publishes its prices: $1,840 for 6 months, $3,496 for 12 months and $6,210 for 18 months, with Target Search from $700. All tiers are on our pricing page.
How long does it take to meet someone through a matchmaker in Miami?
With us, typically four to eight weeks from the brief to the first introduction. Many Miami members split the year with New York or Latin America, so the brief records where you will actually be, and introductions are timed around it. A written report arrives every two weeks.
