What do you like most about working at Drawing Down the Moon?
Knowing that we are making a difference to people’s love lives, especially people who have not dated in a while and watching their confidence grow!
What is your favourite matchmaking success story?
Hearing about any successful first date is my favourite. I love hearing the excitement in our clients’ voices when they tell us a date went well and they want to see each other again!
What is the one thing you would suggest, as a Matchmaker, to help people find Love?
Be open to meeting people you would never usually meet in your day to day life and do not restrict yourself by focusing on things like height or hair colour! Be as open minded as possible.

Matchmaker
What do you like most about working at Drawing Down the Moon?
So many things! The daily team matchmaking, meeting new, fascinating people and, of course, the wonderful team! I love telling people what I get to do for a living and being a key part of someone’s love story is a true privilege.
What is your favourite matchmaking success story?
One of the highlights of my day is hearing about successful dates – it never fails to bring a smile to my face! One I remembered stands out – I was taking feedback on a first date. They met during the pandemic, so it was over Zoom. I could barely understand her wonderful feedback because she was giggling and laughing so much, giddy doesn’t cover it!
Needless to say they are still together and very happy indeed.
What is the one thing you would suggest, as a Matchmaker, to help people find Love?
Be honest, open and trust the process – after 37 years, we know what we are talking about!
Sabrina
Matchmaker
What do you like most about working at Drawing Down the Moon?
There are so many different things including client success stories and trusting relationships built between our clients but the highlight has to be the amazing team! Everyone at DDM are the kindest and most passionate individuals that I have met – working with them is just a pleasure!
What is your favourite matchmaking success story?
Every time a client tells me that they had a lovely first date and are excited to see where the relationship will go is a success to me! I love hearing about the details of the date… maybe a fun coffee date with deep conversations, maybe a romantic drink in a bar with instant rapport, sometimes it even ends with a little kiss and lovely feedback for me.
What is the one thing you would suggest, as a Matchmaker, to help people find Love?
Be open-minded and patient. We always remind our clients that Love is in fact, not a list. It’s never about checking the boxes and who knows – often the right person is someone that you least expect!

Sometimes people find love with the first person they are matched with and write in to say how we must be matchmaking geniuses. We take that as a huge compliment, but most often, successful matches happen quickly when people are open on the type of person they would like to meet and wholeheartedly embrace the process!
The nicest people sometimes suffer the worst dating luck. Perhaps their partner has left them or they find themselves widowed. When you have gone through this and start dating again, it can be far from a smooth ride, at least to begin with.
That is why it is so good that the experienced and talented matchmakers at Drawing Down the Moon are able to step in and provide ongoing date coaching, support and mentoring throughout the matchmaking experience. Our clients find comfort that no matter their background or relationship history their matchmaker looks after them and has their best interests at heart.
My favourite stories are those where some regular person who has been plugging away at dating for some time with cheerful optimism despite the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, goes on to meet their lifelong partner through us.

True love will find you in the end
You’ll find out just who was your friend
Don’t be sad, I know you will
But don’t give up until
True love will find you in the end
This is a promise with a catch
Only if you’re looking can it find you
‘Cause true love is searching too
But how can it recognize you
If you don’t step out into the light, the light
Don’t be sad I know you will
Don’t give up until
True love will find you in the end

I am delighted to be working as a programmer for DDM, the leading matchmaking agency in the UK, helping couples discover true love. As a programmer, my role involves developing, managing, and monitoring the DDM website, as well as keeping it up-to-date and secure.
Finding true love is never easy, but having a dating and matchmaking agency to assist you can make it a little easier and help you find that special someone.
Ultimately, as a programmer for DDM, it’s wonderful to be a part of such a passionate team that is dedicated to helping people find true love. It is a great feeling knowing that I am playing a part in helping people find their soulmates.
