Curated Lovers — Est. Matchmaking House
Where we operate
Four cities. One standard.
Every city has its own roster of matchmakers, venues, and events — but the same rule: no one gets seated across from a stranger we haven't met ourselves.
How it works
Three ways to meet someone real
Pick a path. A matchmaker handles the rest.
Blind Dates
A short video call with your matchmaker, a hand-picked match based on what actually matters to you, then a message with the time and place. You don't see a photo until you sit down.
Curated Events
Speed dating nights, padel mornings, cooking classes, rooftop parties. Small guest lists, built-in icebreakers, and a room that's already been vetted for you.
The Follow-Up
After every date or event, your matchmaker checks in — what worked, what didn't — and keeps refining who they introduce you to next.
Why it's different
No algorithm. No endless swiping.
Everything here is designed around one idea: two people meeting in person, sooner rather than later.
Human matchmaking
Real people read your intake, not a recommendation engine. Matches are made by judgment, not by who's still online.
In-person verification
Every member is met — on video at minimum, in person where possible — before they're ever introduced to someone else.
Experiences, not chats
Dates and events are designed around a shared activity or game, so the first conversation has something to talk about besides the weather.
Background checks
Identity and background verification runs quietly behind every profile, so you can focus on the date instead of the due diligence.
Upcoming
Events on the calendar
Small guest lists. Real venues. RSVP before they fill up.

The founder
Built by someone tired of dating apps too
Manuel Blanco — Founder & Matchmaker
After nearly two years on dating apps, Manuel realized the problem wasn't finding people—it was finding meaningful opportunities to meet them. Like many others, he experienced endless swiping, disappearing matches, and platforms that seemed designed to keep people engaged rather than help them build real connections.

Before you join
There's no swiping, no algorithm, and no browsing profiles. A matchmaker reviews your intake and introduces you to one person at a time, either through a blind date or a curated event.
Every member completes an identity and background check, plus a live video conversation with a matchmaker before they're ever matched or invited to an event.
Members typically range from 25 to 45 and are based in or near one of our four cities. We're looking for people who are done with casual swiping and want to meet someone in person.
Medellín, Bogotá, Cali, and Caracas today, with more cities opening throughout the year.
Blind dates and events are booked individually, with membership tiers for people who want ongoing matchmaking. Full pricing appears once you start your intake.
Yes — you can cancel or reschedule up to 48 hours ahead from your dashboard. We just ask you to be considerate; someone else may be waiting for that seat.
