How each service finds your matches.

Tawkify

A candidate network, recruiters and blind dates.

Tawkify is one of the more widely recognized matchmaking services in the United States. Matchmakers search its network of members for people who fit a client's preferences, and recruiters may look further afield, including on social networks and other dating platforms.² Candidates are screened, and dates are often arranged as blind dates, with details kept for the evening itself.¹ ²

Luvo

Only people a room has chosen.

Luvo introduces only people it already knows: guests met in person at evenings hosted by the Constellation's brands, singled out by hosts and fellow guests and invited into a circle, plus members of The Gild Society. Luvo never recruits, and there's no app. Every client begins with Anoush, Luvo's founder, and a dedicated matchmaker chooses each introduction.
