LOVE

THE DATING INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX HAS FAILED YOU.
WE ARE THE ALTERNATIVE.

THE MANIFESTO

FOR TOO LONG, THE MACHINES HAVE DECIDED WHO YOU MEET.

The algorithms serve shareholders, not lovers. The apps profit from your loneliness — they have no incentive to help you find someone. We do.

One matchmaker. Sixteen clients. Total commitment.

THIS IS THE REVOLUTION

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.

Modern Love Club exists at the intersection of art and matchmaking. We don't use algorithms. We use intuition, honed over 18,000 interviews and a decade of watching people fall in love. Every match we make is a creative act — an introduction between two people who might never have found each other otherwise.

CHIEF MATCHMAKER

Founder & Head Matchmaker

Amy Van Doran

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.

VOICES OF THE REVOLUTION

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.

James R.

Client, 2022

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.
