Matchmaking is growing in popularity as singles look for offline options. Matchmaker Lisa Amador talked to us about the matchmaking process, explained why singles choose matchmaking, and tackled some misconceptions about the introduction process.

Podcaster and Matchmaker Laurie Berzack chats with fellow matchmaker Lisa Amador! They chat about making time for dating, some of their favorite client stories and what they do to help themselves stick to goals and improve their lives. Plus, they chat about knowing when it’s time to leave a relationship.

Lisa Darsonval opened her matchmaking company in February 2012. She was a single mom of three who moved to Santa Barbara to pursue a career helping people find love. Over the past 10 years, she has helped hundreds of singles become couples, about a dozen engagements/marriages, and even some children. 

She even found her own "lover" — literally— who became her husband, Michael Amador (lover in Spanish).

I'm excited to inform you that we've added amadormatchmaking.com to our Santa Barbara High School Alumni list of recommended local businesses.

Amador clients are frequently described as ‘great catches’ who just can’t seem to find the right match. Traditional forms of meeting other singles don’t work for everyone, especially busy professionals. That’s where Amador Matchmaking can help.
