ELLE Magazine Highlights the Growth of Elite Matchmaking in 2026

In 2026, luxury matchmaking is no longer niche. It is becoming the preferred dating solution for successful, accomplished women who are stepping away from dating apps and choosing curated introductions instead.

This cultural shift was recently highlighted in Elle, where Cinqe Matchmaking’s Senior Matchmaker Annie Garmendia was featured in a national story examining the rise of elite matchmaking services.

The article explores why high achieving women are investing in private, high end matchmaking rather than continuing with swipe based platforms.

Why Successful Women Are Leaving Dating Apps

According to the ELLE feature, many accomplished women report:

1. Dating app fatigue
2. Lack of serious candidates
3. Privacy concerns
4. Endless messaging without meaningful outcomes
5. A desire for intentional dating experiences

For women who value discretion, efficiency, and alignment, dating apps often feel misaligned with their lifestyle.

Luxury matchmaking offers a different experience. Instead of algorithms, clients work directly with a professional matchmaker who understands their goals, values, and long term vision.

The Growth of Luxury Matchmaking Services in 2026

Elite matchmaking services are experiencing increased demand as professionals seek quality over quantity.

Cinqe Matchmaking, founded in 2010, has spent over a decade building a global network of accomplished men and women seeking long term partnerships. The firm operates as an invitation only matchmaking service, providing:

• Personalized interviews
• Careful vetting
• Curated introductions
• One on one dating guidance

As shared in the ELLE article, the modern matchmaking experience is less about volume and more about thoughtful compatibility.

What Sets Cinqe Apart

Cinqe Matchmaking differentiates itself through a high touch, human led process. There are no automated matches or mass databases.

Each introduction is intentional. Each member is known personally by a dedicated matchmaker.

The feature in ELLE reinforces a broader industry evolution. Dating is becoming more strategic. More selective. More aligned with lifestyle and long term partnership goals.
