The iDate Awards have been dubbed The industry equivalent of the Oscars. For many matchmakers worldwide it’s the biggest event of the year, a massive celebration of the dating industry, highlighting its best, brightest, and most innovative companies and individuals. It was a huge honour to be recognised in this way.

She said “I’m thrilled to accept this award on behalf of the entire team at Drawing Down the Moon. I’m lucky to work with people who are not only renowned as some of the most talented matchmakers in the business, but who also work so incredibly hard to help their clients succeed in love.”
