If I was you, I would NOT WASTE My money on this service based on my experience with VIDA. By the time you start to get through the initial stages of the process, most of your hours may be gone (especially if noone will talk with you and you have to go back and forth through email which would be one of the only ways you can communicate with them and you need support or even someone to understand what you are experiencing). Noone bothered to pick up the phone and I wasn't allowed to speak to anyone. I am going through my first month with VIDA. The initial process started out great, then it went downhill from there. I felt as though my profile underwhelmed me and even when I tried to tell them they were screwing up the facts, they still kept writing and pretty soon I was told most of my hours was going into redoing my profile when in fact I was telling them from the beginning that my profile facts were off and that I would suggest redoing the interview, because perhaps something there threw things off or something. After I heard back from my matchmaker through email, I was told management felt as through my experience didn't warrant any type of credit to my account for the hours spent redoing my profile. I continued to be underwhelmed and felt so unheard. All I got were emails and no call. The matchmaker said she thought the 15 minutes or so I was asking for would not be a good use of my time. I thought noone was clear on what I wanted and if you're not clear on what I want, how can you connect. After this month this is it. I tried the service thinking it would be a good experience. I'm ending my time with them realizing I felt more unheard than heard, so undervalued, and wondering by the end of all this if I will even one match. Not a big fan. I started out being a fan though, which is the sad part. I wish I could have gotten a better response. Now left with only 8.8 or less hours for matching. SMH From the start, the matchmaker claimed she miscalendared our call. I never received a phone call and so I called the matchmaker. No answer. I emailed the matchmaker. No reply. I finally received a callback from the matchmaker and she didn't even apologize. She went on in the conversation as if nothing happened. As a person who has invested in personal growth and continue to immerse my life in being emotionally healthy, I did my best to engage and complete the interview. When I got my profile, I realized that no matter the revision, details were not accurate, and what the profile stated did NOT make me stand out from millions of people online. I'm not a "marathoning, etc etc etc as VIDA described me. Noone even bothered to pick up the phone and see what the problem was. I kept asking for management to step in (as they claim that management flags certain cases where there is a challenge) yet in my case, noone would even entertain speaking with me and i'm not an unreasonable person. I kept emailing the matchmaker who kept telling me management didnt think it was needed (to talk to me) and by the time all the back and forth communication and frustration grew and grew with the process, I was forced to write a review and then Rosalia at VIDA reached out, which made me think they only cared about how they came across online. Even though they offered to add some time to try to get me connected to some matches, by them, I was extremely frustrated, felt unheard, and could not trust the service, not realizing that they would soon tell me that hours and hours of the time was spent on writers trying to update my profile. I was never offered a refund which is what I would have preferred, only to take their offer of trusting them to do a good job of matching me. Could you trust someone to deliver when they won't even take the time to understand what is happening with you in the process? I cannot in good conscience recommend this service based on my personal experience, and it is now money blown down the drain. I wished I would have not taken a risk on this service. Nothing good came of it, and I leave VIDA realizing that you get what you pay for and in the end, people can justify anything when they think they have done a good job and you are the one with the experience that did not match that.

I'd really rather meet someone in person rather than online, but online dating fills in some down time and keeps the hope alive. And Vida Select made that manageable by saving me an enormous amount of time, and increased the quality and number of my dates. They are the only game in town as far as I can tell: super professional, streamlined, and effective.

Vivi was my matchmaker and she is absolutely great. An excellent "wingwoman" for a guy like me that tends to be a bit shy / awkward when first approaching ladies. The first month of service was amazing and the writers did a very good job breaking the ice. After the first month it felt like too many hours were being carried over from one month to the next which seemed like a bit of a waste so I eventually dropped. I did end up dating someone I met thanks to Vida and Vivi, and we are still together :) Thanks Vida!

I have had an excellent experience with VIDA, and am currently enjoying budding relationships with four women as a result. I should clarify, I am polyamorous, and all four women are aware of my situation (and each other). Tara was my personal match-maker from VIDA, and she adapted the VIDA service to fit my needs. That is, being polyamorous, it was important to feature that prominently on my profile, and also to specifically cover it in the messaging conversation so that women were very much aware of that fact before things went any further. Tara did warn me to expect lower results, since polyamory is not what most women are looking for, and so my expectations were set appropriately. However, the results were excellent, since the women that VIDA connected me with were coming into the situation with their eyes open, fully aware and accepting of my polyamorous lifestyle. VIDA were very helpful in every step of the process: from selecting appropriate dating sites for me, to writing my profiles, to arranging a photo shoot, and of course the time-intensive task of messaging with matches. Tara has been a joy to deal with, and I can whole-heartedly recommend her service, and the entire VIDA team. I'm super happy with the result - and super busy now in my dating life! Probably a little too busy - VIDA have over-delivered! I had to stop the VIDA service because my dating "plate" is well and truly full! My social life is off the scale! I'm super excited with the results, and can honesty say I'm having the best time of my life! Which is quite something, considering that I'm a middle-aged man.

I had tried online dating on my own but never liked the results. VIDA was wonderful in getting me set up on the sites and guiding me as to the pictures that I needed as well as the profile. They definitely made me stand out! Kariz Welsh, my matchmaker was simply wonderful all along the setup process and beyond. I highly recommend them if you can afford it. You WILL get results!

I worked with Tara and she was really excellent. Before assigned to her, I had some troubles with the customer service on this site and getting a hold of someone to help me, it was annoying, but once I got help they were very generous and made sure I was taken care of. The service itself was just as described. It is expensive so not for everyone, but for those who can afford it it will not disappoint.

Vida Select is amazing. My matchmaker Shyne is absolutely wonderful. I highly recommend their services to my friends.

The team at Vida were professional, friendly, and effective. I was involved every step of the way and my matchmaker, Shania, was always prompt and helpful with questions and support needed. Shania was a single point of contact which made things easy for me. A few quirks were I didn't know when my purchased package would be complete and I'd have to re-bill, and sometimes I had to check in to keep things moving along. Overall I was impressed with the service!
