With You Matchmaking: Boston-area matchmaking

Hello! My name is Ali Rice and I am the matchmaker behind With You Matchmaking. My dream for this project is to provide affordable community-supported matchmaking, to be With You in your process of dating. For people on my list, I provide potential match ideas alongside accompaniment in the sometimes isolating process of dating. I am deeply motivated to connect people, and have felt this way my whole life. I am optimistic about love and remain immensely hopeful on behalf of everyone I work with.

I am a low-touch community matchmaker. Rather than charging thousands of dollars to a small number of clients to work with each of them intensively, I am able to charge lower rates to a large number of clients, but I offer a less intensive service.

Right now, my list is about 190 people, mostly in the Boston area, with smaller lists in New York, DC, and Los Angeles. Please look around this website for more information on my process, fee structure, and my matchmaking community guidelines. Learn how to join my list here.

“Who knows whether we would have met otherwise, but Ali’s instincts brought us together into what’s become a supportive relationship of shared passions, values, and fun. Ali’s strong sense of care for this work shines through in every step of her process. She is very thoughtful, communicative, and comforting. We sing her praises to all our friends looking to date!”  – Rachel & Allen

“I was referred to Ali by a friend and have really enjoyed working with her. She is a warm, emotionally intelligent person who genuinely believes that everyone will find someone – this is encouraging for those who have experienced the highs and lows of dating! She has connected me to 3 different mutual matches, and I’ve enjoyed connecting with all of them. She has a good sense of what makes people tick – I highly recommend working with her!” – Ben

“Working with Ali as a matchmaker has been wonderful! It’s a very different experience from being on the apps–in a good way. The apps are about quantity of people–often an overwhelming amount–but having Ali make matches is about quality. You can tell she is thoughtful about who she pairs together and that the matches are based on the deeper stuff, like shared values. It took a couple years of being on the list to get a match that really clicked, but it was worth the wait! My match and I have been on several dates and are super excited about each other.” – Anonymous

“So far, I have been on dates with two people Ali has connected me to. It has been so refreshing and lovely to go on dates with people who are connected to or adjacent to my community, and who I share context and values with! Really a wonderful and notably different feel from online dating. Thanks to Ali, I am feeling more hopeful and excited about dating than I have in a long time!” – Rachel B.

“I love the way Ali approached her work with a level of effort and care that is so important to matchmaking. When I worked with her, she always made an effort to check in and was super supportive in seeking feedback. She really tried to find major connecting points where my potential matches and I aligned and that was super helpful. Ali’s work allowed me the opportunity to grow as a person as I dated in a safer-feeling environment. Would highly recommend working with her regardless of what your path and desires in dating may be.” – Anonymous
