Professional Matchmakers

Hi Yvonne Just wanted to send you a cheerio and thanks. My wife Lily and I met on October 2, 1999, via your agency. We “clicked” instantly, got together, got engaged on 28th July 2000 and got married on April 28, 2001. We have you to give our utmost thanks for bringing us together, 2 […]

“Dear Natalie, you probably get a lot of these (perks of a wonderful profession!). We’ve been preposterously happy for nearly a year now and anticipating many more to come. And it’s all thanks to you! Thank you again. “

“I wanted to let you know how happy John and I are. We’re moving into our shared apartment next week – a true indication of your successful matching. It has been 14 months together of discovery and gratitude at having found each other and this simply would not have been possible without Annie and Lisa. I’m […]

“I wanted to pass on my thanks to you in regards to the recent program I took with Yvonne Allen & Associates. I found the process to be a wonderful experience. It was a warm and inviting environment and it really felt like I was engaging with friends. It was lovely to have great support […]

“Dear Yvonne and Natalie You introduced us in May this year and we had our first meeting on 7 June. Shortly after we decided to start living our lives together. We plan to marry on 10 February next year. This would never have happened without you. We went to you because of your reputation for […]

“Just a quick (long overdue) note from US! Yes, we are still an ‘US’. Very happy and healthy. We’ve just had three wonderful months in Italy. Michael is returning to Australia next week for work and I’m staying longer to work on my Italian. Thank you for your vital role in bringing us together. We […]

“Julia and I have met on numerous occasions and have become very close. I expect we will just continue on now and have a long-term fulfilling relationship. Yvonne Allen and Associates have provided me with exactly what I was looking for. I believe your job is done! Thank you very much.”

“I chose your service as it felt far more comforting to talk to someone, have them get to know me, then proceed to find intelligent women suited to who I am. I found the team at Yvonne Allen to be very professional and made me feel at ease throughout the entire process. Thank you.”

“Thank you for making time to see me on Friday. It was a pleasure to meet and have such a lovely chat. I came away from your office knowing I have done the right thing in terms of signing up with your company. Your approach is considered, professional, has a real science and psychology at […]

“Chris and I just spent a week hiking in the Pyrenees and he asked me to marry him! Of course I said yes! We’re hoping to have a wedding later this year and again, I can’t thank you enough for introducing us. We thought and spoke of you the evening we became engaged, just moments […]

“Yvonne Allen’s coaching is priceless, the re-education I received on dating and what relationships are, I actually put into practice. I manifested him and am now in a committed relationship. This I know would not have happened without the integrity and trust of Elaina who was my guide, mentor and coach in what can be […]

“I wanted to say a very happy THANK YOU for thinking of me when you matched me to Ian. As you know, I was preoccupied by a ridiculous amount of education and training and found myself highly qualified but still single at the age of 38. Losing several members of my immediate family to early […]

“Back in August last year, I had my first meeting with Toni at Yvonne Allen. I was lacking in confidence and did not have much previous relationship experience. The ongoing mentoring from Toni has enabled me to make some dramatic changes in my life. Not only I am putting myself out there and dating new […]

“First of all, I’d like to express my gratitude to your company for matching me ‘Craig’ in 2013. It has been a wonderful experience for over 12 months. Over this period, we had loving and fun times, which we shared together with love, respect and passion. Unfortunately, we both have come to a conclusion that […]

“Clare was my second date from Yvonne Allen (and I was her first). My first date with Clare lasted 3 and a 1/2 hours. We had coffee and went to the art gallery on the spur of the moment to a photographic exhibition as both of us have a keen interest in art and photography, […]

“After undergoing the appraisal process with Yvonne Allen I did considerable soul-searching and tried to come to a much better understanding of myself and my needs and wants. In particular I decided I wanted to have a more active social life. While I spent more time with my family and friends I was determined to […]

“I thought I would let you know that I have been seeing your last introduction, Livinia, for the last three months. I am really enjoying the journey of getting to know her and we are both excited as to where it is heading. I would like to take this opportunity in thanking you for your […]

“I know many intelligent women including myself who have struggled with the current belief that the online dating sites are the only way to meet eligible men. Many have encountered “scammers” and/or men who are unable to communicate or commit. I believe that the role your company plays is crucial and it is unfortunate that […]

“I had a great time with Renee and it reminded how much I enjoy being in a relationship.We met on a number of occasions and got on very easily. We have similar values. Renee is attractive with a good sense of humour and is fun to be with. We got on really well and enjoyed […]

“In Phillip’s profile, he described and expressed himself fairly clearly and close to who and what he really is. Initially, he is probably not the type I would go for. But after knowing him a bit more, the story is different. He delivers what he says and promises. I can see and feel that he […]

“I wanted to let you know how much I have loved speaking with you both and how fantastic I have found the whole process. After many long years post divorce you have made the transition to dating again very easy and enjoyable and your guidance and advice has been invaluable. I was thrilled to meet […]

“Lunch with Richard was very enjoyable, three hours passed very quickly. It is already our 8th meeting! We appear to have similar interests and had plenty to talk about… and plan to go to Southern Highlands next Saturday. I really enjoy his company and it may develop more….we shall see. He has met some of […]

“I would ask that you put my programme on hold for the next 2 months. I am continuing to see Grant and am enjoying him being a part of my life. We both feel that we would like to see where this leads us and in the meantime we are enjoying the journey. Many thanks […]

“I thought I would let you know, Karen and I have been seeing each other the last few weeks and enjoying each other’s company. We are going to see where this goes, so I’m off the market. All the best and thanks for your assistance.”

“While our first meeting was a little awkward, I have really enjoyed our second and third meetings. I’m much more relaxed and feel the conversation flows with greater ease. Craig is someone who is easy to relate to and talk to. He is patient and attentive and clearly makes the effort to make our meetings […]

“As discussed, I have been in a relationship since late July, when I suspended my program. Although Yvonne Allen & Associates did not introduce to my current partner – we have been together for almost five months now, I am convinced that my success in forming my relationship has come almost entirely from their excellent […]

“I don’t think I could ask for more from a first date. I found Sophie easy to talk to though I felt a bit nervous myself. We seem to be both people who do better in a one on one setting than networking in a crowd. We discovered that we like similar authors and Monty […]

“I enjoyed the meeting with Dean enormously! He has restored my faith in the quest for a partner. If we don’t end up together then it is someone very like Dean that I am looking for. He is intelligent and has some terrific stories. The mental connection was obvious to me – hope he felt […]

“Patrick and I married after being matched by your agency 12 years ago. That is a whole Chinese cycle of 12 Chinese animals. Our 12th wedding anniversary is on 17 November this year. We are doing well and are very happily married with a beautifully mannered son. He did his year 3 Naplan this year […]

“Thank you very much for your invitation to attend your seminar last night. It had impact. I enjoyed the night, generally and chatting away with the ladies, in particular. I think I can now begin to understand what to do or at times perhaps not what to do when the normal vicissitudes of life conflict […]

“I just wanted to let you know I had the most delightful meeting with Yvonne! What an amazing & interesting woman. I could have spent hours listening to her talk about relationships. Please pass on my heartfelt thanks to her for fitting me into her busy schedule – it was certainly appreciated. I was obviously […]

“Having tried other professional dating agencies I was frustrated with superficiality of both the people I was meeting and the person organizing the meetings!!! I was instantly impressed with individualized approach and the almost instant understanding of the values and qualities that were important to me in a prospective partner. I was overwhelmed by the […]

“David made me feel very comfortable and we had a lot in common. We have met several times since and we are enjoying getting to know each other. We are meeting on a regular basis and talk daily. I could lose myself in his eyes every time we meet. I find him extremely attractive… I […]

“I’m sorry it’s taken me so long to get back to you with an up-date on how things are going. I’m happy to tell you that Jack and I are still very close – and getting closer. I realise it’s been quite a challenge for two people of such widely differing cultural backgrounds, and at […]

“We met for coffee the the first time; in the course of that meeting, we felt comfortable enough with each other to go on a short cruise on the harbour afterwards. We have since met again, for dinner. I find Rose to be charming, attractive, intelligent and with a nice sense of humour; and on […]

“I was chatting with Anna last night – as we’ve done pretty much every day since we first met – and I suddenly realised that my profile is still up on the YA site (though I assume not accessible to anyone). I think I can say with some confidence it can now be removed. Why? […]

“I wanted to let you know just how much I am appreciating the process of joining Yvonne Allen. It has been an easy transition, the process easy and I feel there is a lot of personal care taken when choosing profiles for me. Once again thank you.”

“Thank you for the email. Delighted to tell you that Lucy and I have married…thanks to you. We are both wonderfully happy and full of admiration for the role you played in bringing us together. We have never been happier. Our thanks and best wishes.”

“I flew to Sydney this past weekend, stayed with friends of mine, but met up with Melissa. We had dinner in Bondi Sat night (Sean’s Panorama, really good!), and then I also met her on the Sunday morning for breakfast, then we walked Bondi to Bronte, which was fabulous. What can I say? She seems […]

“Firstly I would like to thank you for all your hard work and secondly to let you know that your matching me up has led to an engagement… and… ’Michael’ and I have been seeing each other for just under 5 months and we are getting engaged!! I thought you all might be glad to […]

“I just wanted to thank you for all your support and encouragement in my interesting journey with Yvonne Allen. I really appreciated the sympathetic ear and words of encouragement; it has been a terrific boost for my confidence. As a very busy lawyer with four young children and a single father – I really never […]

“Richard and I met through Yvonne Allen & Associates nearly fourteen years ago and have been married almost 11 years now. We have a son, aged 8. I often recommend you to people seeking a partner but they just don’t take up good advice or maybe they do and I don’t know. Good luck to them if […]

“Having recently commenced the YAA program I was pleasantly surprised to meet X on my first introduction. I have found Yvonne Allen to be down to earth and straightforward and feel well supported on this journey. Having a trustworthy intermediary makes the introduction process a far pleasanter experience than trawling the internet for hours on […]

“Dear Yvonne, Hope you have a wonderful Christmas and New Year. As you can see (from the photo) we have a baby! Well he turned one on the 17th Dec and is already walking. We think of you often! We are both enjoying parenthood very much.”

“Suzie is a beautiful woman; she is lovely there’s no need for me to fill in my feedback sheet. I will tell her again when we’re lying in the sunlight under the trees in the gardens in the hills. Thank you for bringing us together. Have a wonderful day.”

“Coming to Yvonne Allen after my partner passed away was a difficult and scary decision. But Elaina took a lot of care in helping me feel comfortable about going on dates and gave me the confidence I needed to learn to enjoy each one. I realised that it wasn’t so much about looking for love […]

“Both Kate and I phoned separately a number of months ago to let you know we will be getting married. We have now set a date in December. We just wanted to express our appreciation for helping us get together. We do seem to be incredibly well matched, and that was self-evident from the first […]

“We are a happy family and are very lucky. Thank you for linking us up with each other and for providing good quality partners. I don’t hesitate recommending you to single friends.”

“Much has happened since our last contact and I have to advise that I am no longer “available” for current or future profile matches. I have got back together with Keith, whom I originally met through YAA and not only is he in the process of moving in with me, but I have just accepted his […]

“Would you please convey my thanks and appreciation to Yvonne for meeting with me. It was a very fulfilling and interesting discussion. It also gave me confidence in moving forward and managing, what I hope, is an interesting and exciting search for that special person.”

“I would like to recommend your process by which I have managed to meet with a wonderful lady after many long years post divorce. Your ability to sift through the major aspects of compatibility has enabled me to quickly find someone who has similar relationship goals thus ending a number of short and unfruitful previous […]

“Richard and I met through Yvonne Allen & Associates nearly fourteen years ago and have been married almost 11 years now. We have a son, aged 8. I often recommend you to people seeking a partner but they just don’t take up good advice or maybe they do and I don’t know. Good luck to them if […]

“Having the opportunity to meet Yvonne and working closely with YAA in my search for a potential partner has been a very fulfilling experience. So much time, careful advice and support has made this possibly ‘terrifying’ journey, a pleasurable one and has more than anything else, taught me a lot about myself. As a parent […]

“The profile that she presented is very accurate as to how she actually is. She is truly a lovely person who is very caring and thoughtful about others – a delight to be with! She is very kind, very thoughtful, very caring, very attractive, very attentive to the other person, very good with her older […]

“Greg is very good communicator and we touch base each day with a text, phone calls once a week and we seem to be enjoying a dinner each week. We went out last night for dinner and had such a lovely time. The thing is that we chat and chat for hours, so from this, […]

“It’s been only four months since I met the most wonderful, lovely woman, and it’s thanks to Yvonne Allen and her team that we found each other. I didn’t really know what to expect when I first approached YAA. I am very appreciative of the time, care and advice put in by Yvonne’s team and […]

“The 1st meeting was easy and comfortable. He was entertaining and was definitely displaying the ‘peacock syndrome’!! I thought that was rather sweet. he is not what I would classify as “drop dead gorgeous’ but I found his personality and his intelligence very attractive.. Enjoyed his openness, intelligence, sensitivity, compassion, gentleness and integrity. We have […]

“I was pleasantly surprised I could be so relaxed with a stranger. After a few shy minutes we got on really well, talked for an hour and then took off for lunch and a harbour cruise. It went well. We were happily “on the same page” in most of our conversation and our sense of […]

“Thank you Yvonne for the opportunity to attend the recent seminar as I continue to be interested in current issues in relationships. I would like to say to you personally and professionally that I found the content and tone of your presentation both warm and sincere. For any potential or past client seeking the services […]

“As a man who has recently divorced and started dating again, I found your comments re how on a first date I could help a woman to relax and get out of her business persona to be very helpful. I now realise why most of the dates have had felt like an interview rather than […]

“I now understand why my marriage came to an end even though we loved each other. If I had known beforehand about misunderstanding due to gender differences I think we would still be together. Thank you Yvonne for your insightful seminar. “
