VIDA Select Avis 

Shyne and the whole team were very organized and got me on a few dates very quickly!

Vida is a well organized service with pluses and minuses. One huge plus was my matchmaker Hayley, without which I would have been lost. I had multiple issues with VIDA, starting with the setup and going through the regular running of the service. All throughout Hayley kept the process going and was focused on my satisfaction as we worked through the problems.
Here is a list of the issues I experienced and must be addressed:
1. Account setup, IT support - IT support was not very good. Had sites that had issues with and IT wrestled to get working (and ultimately failed). Other sites were not "officially" supported - but ultimately worked. I think IT should work in a much more structured way to provide the matchmakers with a good foundation (which is lacking today).
2. Account setup, Visual - Had little to no communications from the visual team and practically no feedback. Had to go in later with the matchmake and make adjustments. Would have been much better if the setup was more interactive.
3. Account setup, writers -Had to make repeated adjustments to the verbiage and in the end I just left some less than optimal text. Again, would be great to communicate directly and close the loop - rather than repeated back and forth.
4. Account running, visibility - there is no visibility into what's going on, time and contact wise. Would be great to know what's being done.
5. Account running, writing - had multiple incidents where the writers wrote text that was out of character for me, despite having information to the contrary. I realize it's a challenge with so many accounts, but still, it's essential they put in the effort to have a good grasp of the narrative and person before writing.

Despite all these issues, I think the overall result is more positive than negative. What really made the difference was Hayley, who I can't say enough good things about. I would recommend to give VIDA a try and see if they're a match. Hope they can work out their issues in which case this would be phenomenal.

Tara Baldwin and her team were discreet professional and most importantly EFFECTIVE. One night, one, one date and the rest is history. We have been inseparable since.

The experience was fantastic! The people really make it fun, easy, and exciting!

Hayley and Barbara are the best—truly world-class! Had the best experience with those two.

True professionals, who deliver what they present. Very happy to recommend to anyone using Social Media as their primary means to meet.

The entire team did a great job. My main contact was Nordika. She was exceptional - professional, friendly, quick to respond and very helpful.

Skeptical at first, I was impressed with the sophistication of their service. Hayley Harper, my main contact person (the "matchmaker") was highly professional, warm, caring, and empathic.

I am so happy that Chrissy H. was my matchmaker during my VIDA Select experience! She was helpful, responsive, knowledgeable, and thoughtful with such a postive attitude with me. She even set up a call with me on a Sunday morning which I thought was great!

Overall, this service and experience was very helpful and I'm dating a beautiful lady I met on Match with long term expectations. I woudn't be here without VIDA Select motivating me to "get off my couch" and take action about starting a dating life. They are supportive and responsive. I'm grateful for this positive experience.

Thanks,
Captain K

Working with my matchmaker Nabeelah was such a pleasant experience. From setting up and confirming profile information, picking the right pictures to reviewing matches, Nabeelah makes you feel as though you are her only client! I highly recommend the service and Nabeelah!

My experience with VIDA Select was great! My recommendation is to ensure that you and the team have a clear understanding of what “you” are looking for in a soulmate in the beginning. Also, respond promptly and accurately to all emails from the team. If you follow those steps, then you will be fine!

Due to the poor dating climate during this time, I decided to utilize this service. My matchmaker Aeilar was great! Aeilar was prompt and thorough, ensuring that I received all of the needed information and my questions were answered. I also received notice of off days, and who the replacement was for that day. I highly recommend Aeilar if you can request a specific matchmaker. Overall, her and the team were wonderful!

I made a great connection through this service, and we are still communicating. The connection is getting stronger by the day, so I’m very excited about my social life this year! 😊🥰 The results will vary by person, but this was a great financial investment. I encourage all to know what you are looking for and to have an open mind. The soulmate search is a process, but if you go in with a positive attitude and make a strong effort, the reward will be worth it in the end!

Had an amazing experience with Vida! My matchmakers Lorraine and Nordika (worked with them both while one was on break) made a huge difference in the experience. Attentive, thoughtful, helpful when I had a wide range of questions (and I had a LOT) and very understanding. Can not speak more highly of them.

The technical set up side was a little wonky at first, but Nordika made sure nothing went up that I wasn't satisfied with so that was great, just took a bit longer. It's great to have people vetting and sourcing people for you without you having to think about it. Tough to relinquish power at first, but then it's a good thing to sit back and not get too attached.

I only stopped because I had unexpected scheduling issues that made me pause, but I'll be back. I've thankfully already had a meaningful match in one month that's worth exploring!

Definitely worth the investment! Highly recommend

(This is a 4.5 star review) My Vida sherpa was great. Friendly, helpful, easy to work with, responded quickly. She gets five stars. The team working with her gets 3.5 stars — they are good, not great, not terrible. It was very helpful to have them creating first drafts of everything. But I did a fair amount of editing to get to the final profile wording. Also, the profile photos they chose were weird. No matches with the photos they selected, so I tossed out their photos and chose the photos myself. Once we got profiles set up on all the sites, everything was smooth sailing. So, so helpful to have them doing the initial outreach and banter. I don’t know how people would do all that on their own. The bottom line: Vida is 100% worth it. I’d previously spent thousands of dollars on “luxury” professional matchmakers — low yield; total waste of money. Vida worked in two months — I’m now dating someone seriously.

What a wonderful team of Cupids! They organised and bettered my profile and helped me throughout. I trust their whole team immensely 💕

I am really grateful for my experience working with Kedi Karlsen. From the initial onboarding call and throughout the process, I feel like I had an expert partner guiding me along the way. I felt confident in the strength of my profiles to attract the right people and appreciated Kedi's outreach to help me connect with people despite my busy schedule. I enjoyed the process and am excited about the results.

Shyne and her team were wonderful to work with. She was very responsive and invested in my success.

It was time for me to connect out there but I didn’t want to do it alone. Vida Select was a great option for me. My matchmaker, Tara Baldwin, was awesome and easy to work with. She took time to get to know me and was always available to email or talk. While not perfect, anything I had a problem or question with they would explain or try to fix. If you’re very busy or just don’t want to go through this process alone, I recommend Vida Select for your “shopping” needs!😉

If you are busy this is a great option! I didn't have time to chat with numerous people and keep things going, so the team did this for me. Francesca was wonderful at keeping me updated and responding to my questions and feedback. While not perfect, they are open to feedback along the way and adjust accordingly. Haven't found "the one" but optimistic.

Vida Select and Kedi did an amazing job at helping me find people that I found attractive and interesting that ultimately lead to face to face dates. I enjoyed the process from the intake call to see if we were a fit, to the assistance of photo selection and profile construction, and all the way thru to personal advice about conversations and emotional support. I highly recommend this service to help in the dating world!!

VIDA is a well-organized match maker company with an efficient and effective process that produces excellent results! My focal point Francesca Wright is great - she is very responsive, truly gets to know her clients and is a very insightful match maker. She literally works around the clock and my results are ample and of high-quality dating candidates. I have learned a lot about myself in what makes a perfect date thanks to Francesca. I highly recommend VIDA's services.

Vida Select was a great experience for me. Like most I was starting to think of dating as a second job. The needless communication that went nowhere, the inability to think of creative banter, weeding out the wierdos..it felt overwhelming. That's where VIDA came in to help me message a number of people each week. From there, I was asked my opinion on the matches for the week. As one would expect, some I agreed to and others not so much what I was looking for. It led to several dates which I was pleased with and I am currently seeing someone based on their recommendation. Now, I do have to say that I was told they had BOTH an internal pool as well as use of the apps. However, that did not seem to be the case as ALL my matches were from the apps. Additionally, it was not disclosed upfront that you will need to pay for memberships on the apps-that's an extra 100-300/month roughly. Overall, I would do it again because I did not want any longterm contracts and it was still more affordable than other options. My matchmaker KEDI was amazing and extremely communicative. She knew exactly what I was looking for and sought those individuals out for me.
