CLEVER BANTER


The first photo is of actor Pierce Brosnan and his wife twenty years ago, at the start of their marriage. The second photo is them today. When people pointed out to him that she had put on weight he simply replied: ′She is in my eyes the most beautiful woman in the world, she raised my 5 children with love. In the past, I already loved her for her personality and not just for her beauty. Now I love her even more. I am very proud of her, and I always try to be worthy of her love. This is what it is to marry a man who loves you as you are. That is what I wish for you at Bon Jour Matchmaking Service, a Denver matchmaking service for 35 years.

The personal attention. With It’s Just Lunch I felt as if they didn’t even look at my profile. Daren, Esq.

I think Michele works hard to find someone who is a good fit. Dave A.
I was impressed with the length of time that Michele has spent in business in the Denver area-it’s clear that this is her calling. I also thought that the open-ended contract was unique and shows that she’s really committed to finding the right match for people, not just limiting your matches to who is immediately available.

I’ve received feedback about my Blog that people love my anecdotal stories as they help clarify my points. So to illuminate this point…I have found with some of my clients that they have a regular routine of some kind that they don’t change when they come in here and meet potential mates. Whether it be skiing every weekend in the winter, boating every weekend in the summer, going to their place in the mountains every weekend or whatever, once you have decided to work with a professional Matchmaker and meet good potential mates you HAVE to be flexible with your schedule. You can do that routine when you are single, or even in a relationship but you HAVE to make the time to nurture a potential relationship and show flexibility.
I used to have a very attractive female client who owned several places in the mountains and two dogs. On Thursday she would go to the mountains (with her dogs) until Sunday. She would NEVER change her schedule to accommodate someone she was dating. She took her dogs everywhere, including to our interview and her first meetings with matches. I’m a real animal person and don’t like animals locked up in a car for two hours and I’m sure that made her dates feel uncomfortable. But even more I received feedback from every guy she met that she wouldn’t fit time in her weekend schedule to get together. So they moved on.
Someone who does that looks very selfish, very inflexible and doesn’t appear to have a desire to nurture a relationship. All in all she appeared as a poor partner and I was never able to seal the deal for her. I spoke with her about the feedback numerous times and she claimed she would change but never did…and BTW she’s still single, surprise. I am no longer working with her as I cannot disappoint my male clients and waste their time when she won’t comply.
Recently I’ve had another beautiful female client join my service. Despite many conversations with her during and after her interview, she has never told me that she goes to the mountains every weekend from Friday to Sunday. I learned about this from feedback of her matches. They asked her for another date and she is gone every weekend so they became frustrated and moved on. The feedback from clients is invaluable.
I have not spoken with her about it yet as she is in the mountains and has no phone or internet service there…I am not only concerned about this pattern but that she hid it from me even though we’ve spoken so many times. I suspect she thought if she told me I would not work with her because deep down she has to know that this may undermine any success. But I always find out, if not directly from the client, then from feedback from their matches. When I receive negative feedback from 2 people I address that with the person so they can correct that behavior.
If a client is using it to turn off the other person because they aren’t interested but don’t know how to tell them, BAD IDEA. Just merely say how nice they are and attractive (if they are) but the chemistry just isn’t there. No one can argue with that! But don’t say things to turn them off as your rejection. “Man up” and be honest, trust me, they appreciate that.
Matchmaking is so much more than just throwing people together and letting them sink or swim. Many people put up obstacles that diminish their chances of a relationship progressing. My expertise is in identifying those habits and zeroing in on things that, in the scheme of a lifelong relationship, just are not important. That is my goal for you… a lifetime relationship!

Everything You Want to Know About Bon Jour Matchmaking Service
This information was taken directly from the VIDA Select website in 2020:
THE DENVER DATING COMPANY:https://kdvr.com/news/local/denver-singles-site-had-barely-any-women-on-it-lawsuit-claims/embed/#?secret=pVFajLIcOE
Just received a call from a woman who went in to do a consultation with them. She expressed that they were disorganized and lied about a number of things such as length of time in business stating they’ve been in business 22 years. So I went on the BBB site and they have an F rating and have only been in business ONE YEAR! Also on the BBB they listed the owner as Mrs. Owner so they won’t disclose who owns and operates that service. I’m surprised the BBB accepted that! DO NOT GIVE THIS COMPANY YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER (OR ANY COMPANY). THEY DO NOT NEED IT TO DO A BACKGROUND CHECK!!!
KRIS KENNY CONNECTIONS:
Around $3,500 for 6 months, $8,400 for 12 months, and a “VIP” 1-year membership starts at $15,000. Clients typically get a minimum of 1 match per month.
KELLEHER INTERNATIONAL:
Starts around $25,000 and can go higher than $150,000. Cost depends on the number of cities you’d like matchmakers to include in the search, as well as a few other factors. No matter which membership package you choose, you’ll get 13 months worth of search time, and a full year’s worth of pause time.
LUMA:
Having a matchmaker scout for highly compatible singles requires a premium membership, which starts around $5,000. Membership prices can top out north of $50,000, depending on the level of service you’d like.
CALIBER MATCH:
Being listed in the pool of Denver singles is free, but it’s a passive membership – you’ll only be matched when you fit someone else’s criteria. If you want a matchmaker to look for your ideal partner, you’ll need to pay for a Premier membership.
Paid memberships start around $8,500 for 6 months, and $15,000 for 12 months of matchmaking services.
VIDA SELECT:
Clients pay for matchmaking services by the month, rather than committing to a long-term contract. Monthly packages run between $495 and $1,695.

BON JOUR MATCHMAKING SERVICE: NOT LISTED ON VIDA
ONE-TIME investment fee ranging from $4500-$5500 with an open-ended contract for all clients. Per introduction fee of $35 on both sides of the introduction. What am I paying for at Bon Jour? 35 years of Denver matchmaking success with more than 300 marriages! There will be a fee increase starting January 1, 2024.
NOT LISTED ON VIDA: THE SOCIAL: MODERN MATCHMAKING:
There’s a new service in town who runs the same way as all the other services. No profiles, no pictures, no experience and a very young owner charging $10,000 to $12,000 for a 1 year contract according to a recent new client of mine! This is also another local service getting YOUR matches from other matchmakers without photos, profiles or personal interviews or your knowledge due to a lack of clientele. How does the dating part work? In a review of this service someone wrote: she sends a text to both of us saying meet at this location at this time. We don’t get pictures before the date or any information.
In addition, my new client shared that the guy working for this owner hit on her during what was suppose to be her zoom interview. She met him for lunch and now he’s constantly texting and calling her to go out again. As well as being inappropriate, it totally turned her off of the whole company.
Additionally, this woman said that most of the above local companies that she contacted quoted around $12,000 for a one year contract!
I do not decide exclusively upon my own criteria whether we should work together. Primarily that has been decided by my current clients who have been very specific as to their preferences and criteria…just like you would be if you were a client. Bon Jour is the ONLY Denver matchmaking service that does not have ANY reviews stating the client was set up with people who did not fit their specified criteria. So, don’t take it personally and don’t blame the messenger (me) if I feel that we shouldn’t work together. Rather be grateful that I told you the truth and did not scam you out of your money!
Just to try and make things simpler, following is a list of traits that will tell you if you and Bon Jour Matchmaking Service are a good match which include both my perimeters and my clients’ criteria:
If you feel that this describes you then call me for your FREE phone consultation! No appointment necessary for that. If you genuinely feel this is a numbers game, this is NOT the right service for you. I am a Matchmaker with all that implies!
When hiring a Denver Matchmaker you share the responsibility with the Matchmaker to work together, put your best foot forward, have an amicable relationship with that Matchmaker and be realistic in your expectations.
If you join a Denver matchmaking service it is their responsibility to show your profile to the most appropriate candidates. Not to waste your time setting you up with prospects that do not fit your preferences. It is your responsibility to be realistic with your criteria and realize that whenever you are shown a profile you have the right to turn it down. Conversely when your profile is shown to a prospect they have every right to turn you down. Remember that although new clients come in every week they may not fit your preferences, be the opposite sex or select to meet you. So the key is patience…sometimes there is a match right away and sometimes it can take time until the right person enters the service. Try not to get discouraged if it takes time as it is better to be set up with a few great matches than tons of people who don’t fit your preferences!
The job of the Matchmaker is to go over profiles with each client and be sure there are no misunderstandings in the information set forth, also that neither party overly analyzes this information or reads into it. Using a Matchmaker will help you answer questions you’ve never even thought of. A Matchmaker will help you focus in on what’s important, even if it may seem superficial.
Additionally coaching is an important component of matchmaking. Many good potential relationships get derailed during the first month or two due to lack of communication as well as miscommunication. I am there to convey and correct these issues as well as if there is something you are doing consistently to sabotage relationships I will point that out to you so that you may address the issue. The last two marriages in Bon Jour would never have happened had I not gotten in the middle in the first couple of months and straightened out a lack of communication in both instances!
As THE Matchmaker at Bon Jour Matchmaking Service in Denver I offer the most reasonable investment to new clients in the Front Range. You are a client until you find your match with no additional fees than the one-time investment fee and per introduction fee of $35. That’s it, call to discuss your personal situation with me at 303-756-8106 so that I may quote you your personal investment fee.
Your one-time investment in this open-ended contract is evaluated based on the following in this Colorado matchmaking service. The investment fee is a range and is reached by the information supplied below. Be sure to disclose any of this information that applies to you as it MAY LOWER your investment fee during your FREE phone consultation. Do not wait until you are in the middle of your interview to share this as it will not change your investment fee at that time:
Most of this information is disclosed during your FREE telephone consultation at which time you will receive a quote for your personal investment fee.
When you call for your FREE phone consultation you may ask how many people you will meet. First of all that is primarily up to you. When I show you profiles at the time of your interview if you do not select anyone that is your prerogative. If once you are on file as a client you turn down every one who wants to meet you then, again, that is up to you.
I have no way of knowing how many people you will meet and my goal is not to set you up with everyone in town. This is matchmaking. The phone consultation does not go into the detailed depth that the interview does so by the time I know your background and all of your criteria and preferences at the interview the number of prospective matches obviously will go down. This is matchmaking, the information has to fit on both sides to make a match.
Most people choose to meet one person at a time, however, again that is up to each individual. You are NOT buying a “package of dates” so however many people seem to fit and appeal to you over time you are welcome to choose. Then it is up to each of them whether they are interested. But there is no limit to how many people you meet. Other than MY goal which is to hit “the one” with as few matches as possible.
If you’ve used Internet dating sites or dating apps that both have thousands of prospective matches and not met “the one” than you already know that it’s NOT a numbers game. It’s about zeroing in on the “right” person, not tons of people and hope one of them is that one.
The fact is you only need ONE…the right ONE. My goal is and has always been to set you up with only the most appropriate people so that you may achieve your goal sooner rather than later and with as little stress as possible.
