The Love Session
A two-hour, one-on-one session with Amy where you get radically honest about love. Not therapy. Not advice. Something rarer — someone who actually understands the landscape and has the network to make it happen.

How We Can Help
The Journey
Application
Submit a detailed questionnaire about your life, values, relationship history, and what you're truly looking for. We accept only 16 clients at a time.
Assessment
A two-hour in-person interview at our East Village studio. We get to know you beyond the surface — your humor, your quirks, your non-negotiables.
Style Consultation
Our team evaluates your personal presentation and offers guidance on wardrobe, grooming, and the energy you bring into a room.
Curated Introductions
We handpick matches from our network of 18,000+ vetted singles. Each introduction is thoughtful, intentional, and backed by our decade of experience.
Post-Date Coaching
After each introduction, we debrief with both parties. Honest feedback, recalibrated preferences, and continuous refinement of your search.
Ongoing Refinement
Your matchmaker remains your advocate throughout the process, adjusting strategy and deepening understanding as we learn what truly makes you light up.
“We believe love is not a transaction — it's a practice. In a city of eight million, finding your person isn't about casting a wider net. It's about knowing exactly who you are and having someone equally intentional search on your behalf.”
Love Stories
“Amy saw something in me I couldn't articulate myself. Three months in, I met someone who felt like they'd been designed for me. We're getting married in June.”

“I'd tried every app, every matchmaker in the city. Modern Love Club was different — they actually listened. The introductions felt curated, not random.”
Priya M.
Client, 2023
“The coaching alone was worth it. Amy taught me how to be present on a date instead of performing. That shift changed everything.”

Meet Your Matchmaker
Amy Van Doran
Founder & Head Matchmaker · Est. 2008
Amy Van Doran founded Modern Love Club in 2008 after recognizing that New York's most interesting, accomplished people were paradoxically the worst at finding love. A former music video director with a background in visual art, Amy brings an artist's eye to the science of compatibility.
Her approach is radically personal. She has interviewed over 18,000 singles, building a mental database that no algorithm can replicate. She notices the micro-expressions, the offhand comments, the energy shifts that reveal what someone truly needs in a partner.
The East Village studio — affectionately known as the "Love Museum" — doubles as a curated gallery space where art, vulnerability, and human connection intersect. It's a place where clients shed their armor and get honest about what they want.
