VIDA SelectReviews of vidaselect.com

I had a good experience overall with Vida Select. I experienced some hiccups with my first matchmaker, but Rosalia from Client Services was very helpful. She was patient, allowed me to voice all of my concerns, and very responsive. I was transferred to a different matchmaker Nordika who was great to work with. She is quick to respond/communicate and provided me with her advise/tips while still respecting my wishes even if that meant deviating from her suggestions. The visual brand team and writers crafted a profile that I am very happy with and were very quick to accommodate my edit requests. I paused my service to further explore some candidates that they found, but would work with Vida Select again.

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.

(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.

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.

All over a good experience. Melissa kept me up to date every step of the way. Although, we didn't get the success, i anticipated but that was not for lack of trying. Everyone tried hard, but sometime time it's not just right. Thanks to mellisa and her team for putting their best foot forward.

Professional help made all the difference between my profile before vs now.

I tried out the service with Vida for a few months and had a positive experience overall. They do a thorough job of covering all the bases, from styling to photos and a personalized matchmaker. My matchmaker, Kedi, was very attentive and answered my many questions throughout the process. Although I haven't found my match quite yet, I did have a number of dates generated and plan to utilize the service again if needed. I would definitely recommend the service to others, especially for busy professionals or anyone needing personalized help navigating the online dating world of today.
