how it works

man applying for dating matchmaking on phone

step one:

complete matchmaking questionnaire

start by completing our matchmaking questionnaire so we can learn more about your dating history, values, relationship goals, lifestyle, and what you’re hoping to build.

step two:

book a consultation

after reviewing your questionnaire, we’ll reach out to schedule a 30-minute consultation with one of our matchmakers. this conversation is low-pressure and helps us to understand whether little birdie feels like the right fit.

step three:

join the flock + attend curated events

if it feels like a mutual fit, you may be invited to join our matchmaking community for six months. flock members receive a curated match consideration, priority access to events, discounted tickets, and opportunities to connect with other intentional singles.

you may also join the nest membership if you wish. see membership tab for more details.
