Vida was very easy to work with. Felt like the team really understood my frustration and worked quickly to get accounts setup and begin match searching with my interest in mind.

Vida Select Magic at work.
Francesca is the best that Vida Select has . Within 3 weeks of going live found exactly the person I was looking for all my life . She is passionate about what she does and between her and the Vida team its almost a fool proof process meeting who you have been looking for. Not forgetting that the whole process was simple, no time lost and precise. Worth every penny spent.Highly recommend Francesca and Vida Select.

This is an amazing company
This is an amazing company! What a beautiful way to help people find love in a changing world. I'm older and not social media savvy. They took the stress and overwhelming feelings away. Loren helped me on how to showcase myself in an authentic light. I would have been lost.
The best part was Kristy's ability to adjust to my personality and preferences. She really understood me and my goals. Thank you for all that you've done. It not only helped me find love but supported me in learning about myself in the process.

Skeptic at first, more than satisfied in the end
At first, I was a bit worried about allowing others full control over my accounts, but after my initial call with Kate, I felt much more comfortable. I was lucky enough to have Kariz as my Matchmaker, and boy did she exceed all expectations! Bella did great with my photo choices, and the rest of the team nailed every detail about me in every short conversation they had. Kariz and team, I can't thank you enough!

Underwhelming
I believe that the most useful review would be giving a sample of VIDA’s work.
To give an idea of what to expect from the conversations they'll have, and how they might differ from your own, here is one where I had started the conversation and they then took it over, to illustrate any differences in quality between my messaging and their’s.
Me: Hey, I’m from [state] too, I grew up in [town]! You?
Her: What a small world. That’s where I’m from too. Which part? 😋
Me: Oh awesome!! I went to [school] for Middle School and [school] for high school! Which high school were you in?
I lived really close to [local spot]
Her: I lived out in the country on the border with [town] so I went to [school]
Me: Oh cool! I lived near [that same town]ish when I first moved there – [road name] Road! What brought you down to [our current state]?
Her: I got out of the navy and decided to stay. Hbu?
This is the part where VIDA takes over for me.
VIDA: Sorry, been busy with work! That’s really cool about the Navy, how was that? After college I was looking to move to a place with more opportunity career wise. I decided on [city] and got a good job, so I moved! Haha.
Her: It’s all good and it was alright. Happy to be in the civilian world nowadays
VIDA: That makes sense, seems like it would be more chill on this side of things. What’re you up to for this long weekend? Anything exciting going on? :)
[Distance of a day goes without reply]
VIDA: Isn’t it my job to be the strong and silent type? ;)
Her: Sorry I’ve been exhausted from working and forgot to check this yesterday 😭
VIDA: Oh no worries at all! There are certainly better things to get up to than check Tinder 😂 Would you want to leave you number and we can talk that way/plan a time to meet sometime soon?
[Distance of three days goes without reply]
VIDA: Have my charms rendered you speechless already? ;) [Side note, I think this is a really great line to restart a conversation!]
Her: No I just suck at replying 😂
VIDA: Haha, that’s fair 😂 Would you want to drop the endless small talk and plan a time to meet sometime soon?
Her: I would like that 😋
VIDA: Great! Let’s meet sometime in the next week! Which days and times work best for you? 😊
Her: I’m probably not gunna be free until Saturday
VIDA: Saturday works great for me! Would you want to leave your number to sort out the details closer to the day?
[Almost a week goes by]
VIDA: Would you be down for drinks tomorrow evening?
[She does not send another message]
So, you can decide for yourself whether this seems like something you would want.
To give my personal opinion, I found VIDA underwhelming. I expected to be WOWed by expert conversationalists, but to me their approach seemed to be very boring smalltalk followed by excessively early insistence on getting someone's number. In the hyper-competitive world of dating apps, you need to stand out, and VIDA just simply didn't seem to do that.
This appeared to be reflected in the results. With VIDA for one month I got no dates. They got me two numbers, one of which never responded to me.
I think VIDA could be helpful if you're someone who is having a lot of trouble talking on these apps, but for most people you can probably do just as well or better yourself.
Their profile writing was somewhat helpful. I didn’t feel a wow factor there either honestly and you can get the same for much much less on Fiverr.

Hi there, I’m Meagan, from VIDA’s Customer Success Team. I’m sorry to hear you felt your experience was underwhelming. I would love to speak with you directly about your experience, so if you could reach out to me directly (meagan@) or to your matchmaker, I would appreciate it!
In the interim, I’ll address your concerns with the writing process here. Whenever a Dating Specialist takes over an existing message exchange for a client, as is what happened in the example you included in your review, they always emulate the style of the initial messages the client sent themselves.
In the example you cited above, you began the conversation with a statement about where you were from and what town you grew up in, and asked your match where she grew up. You then mentioned what schools you went to, asked where she went, and then asked her what brought her to your current state.
The entire conversation prior to your Dating Specialist taking over was what most people would consider to be “small talk” subjects, and your writer was constrained to the tone you established in your first three messages. Suddenly shifting to a more creative and interesting line of questioning could easily raise a red flag for your match, and it’s one of the reasons we prefer to handle the dating app conversations from start to finish.
In our experience, a conversation that starts out with common “interview” style questions/boring small talk is fairly difficult to convert to a date or a phone number exchange, as the first impression it makes is difficult to overcome. You’ll often find the match isn’t all that engaged or invested in continuing the exchange, as was the case here.
Regarding your comment about an “excessively early insistence on getting someone's number,” our data shows it’s far more effective to ask for a match’s phone number or propose a date after each person has sent 3 to 5 messages.
As you likely already know, competition on dating apps is fierce - especially for the attention of the high-quality matches VIDA selects for our clients. Most women have neither the inclination nor the time to engage in a seemingly endless message exchange on apps like Tinder.
In our experience, it’s far more effective to start with an interesting and engaging icebreaker, build up the attraction for another message or two, then begin to transition the conversation off the app.
All that said, our QA team was unable to identify this conversation in our database. That’s really strange! But trusting the message exchange was replicated accurately here, I’ll be the first to admit that while the conversation isn’t terrible, there are a couple of areas where it’s certainly not up to the high bar we set for our writers. Connecting with me or your matchmaker would help us identify the conversation and address these issues more directly with our team.
Regarding your profile, I’m glad you found the process useful but disappointed to hear you didn’t feel it had the ‘wow’ factor you were looking for! Every client approves of their profiles before they go live on the apps, so I wish you would have let your matchmaker know.
Had you communicated that, your writer would have addressed your concerns. In fact, a client can always request to change writers, whether it’s for their profile or their messages, if they feel a different writing style would be a better fit. All you had to do was ask!
I would really love it if you’d reach out to me so we can talk about how to make this right for you.
Best,
Meagan

An eye opener
The profile writing and photo selection were amazing. I noticed a severe increase in the quality of interested women. Shyne was a great and pragmatic matchmaker. I was able to find someone compatible pretty quickly -- but had that not happened, a lot of numbers were sent my way as a result of the communication. Awesome

Great experience with Vida
My experience with Vida over a couple months was excellent. Kala was a great matchmaking and guide through the process. It’s like having your best gal helping you in the dating process.

At first I had skepticism and wondered if it would work, but as I learned more of processes, I was really impressed. My matchmaker, Kariz, was wonderful and very professional. I found the service was easy to use. They have a whole team dedicated in selecting pictures, creating a profile, and texting with matches on different dating apps to achieve them. Thank you Kariz and Vida team.
