PRIVATE MATCHMAKING
Private Matchmaking.
The Registry waits for the right moment. A Private Search goes and finds it.
WHY OUR PRICING IS PUBLIC
Most matchmaking services will not tell you what they cost. You are asked to book a call, sit through a consultation, and only then learn the figure — a figure that is rarely what you expected — and never what you were told upfront.
We find that unnecessary, and a little undignified.
The Courtship Bureau publishes its pricing for everyone to see. You will find every tier and every figure below. Decide in your own time, in your own home, with no one watching. When you are ready to speak with us, it will be because you chose to — not because it was the only way to learn the price.
CHOOSE YOUR SEARCH
Two memberships, each available as a single payment or a monthly plan. Every one includes the same care, the same vetting, and the same real matchmaker beside you.
Every membership includes a guaranteed minimum number of curated introductions, set out clearly in each tier below. If that minimum has not been met by the end of your term, your membership continues at no additional cost — for as long as it takes us to make it right. We will never rush an introduction to satisfy a number, and we will never quietly let your term run out. We bear the cost of any extension, not you.
How it works, plainly.
Your enrolment covers the real work of getting started: verifying your identity, conducting your intake interview, and constructing your private search. After that, you pay monthly while your matchmaker actively searches on your behalf.
If you find someone and step away happily before your term is up, you may — the terms are written for exactly that. And if your guaranteed minimum of introductions is not met by the end of your term, the search continues at no additional cost to you. We extend. You do not pay more. Until the work is done.

NOT READY FOR PRIVATE SEARCH YET?
Begin with the Registry.
The Registry is the front door to The Courtship Bureau. Every applicant is identity-verified and personally interviewed to confirm their availability to pursue a serious relationship. Your application covers the cost of verification and your intake interview. Registry members are eligible for Introductions Evenings and enter the confidential matching pool. Private Search clients are drawn from the Registry.
Or attend an Introductions Evening first. A small, private gathering of verified Registry members. Exclusively for those who have been admitted. Every seat chosen, every guest vetted.
ALONGSIDE YOUR MEMBERSHIP
Considered support, when you would like it.
Some members wish for a little more — guidance, preparation, or support in bringing their family into the process.
Coaching & Preparation
$150 per session
An unhurried session with a matchmaker — to prepare for an introduction, to reflect afterward, or simply to approach courtship with greater confidence and clarity.
Family Introductions
$300
For many, marriage is a joining of families as much as of two people. We facilitate a considered, well-prepared first meeting between families — with care, and with cultural understanding.
Conversation Workshops
$75 per person
A guided group session on the conversations that matter most before marriage — values, faith, finances, family, and the future. Offered periodically through the year.
WHICH RUNG IS RIGHT FOR YOU?
The Registry — Join the matching pool. Eligible for Evenings. Your application covers verification and intake.
Introductions Evening — Meet verified members in person. Ticketed. Registry members only.
Private Search — A dedicated matchmaker searches actively on your behalf. Guaranteed introductions.
Each rung earns the next. Most Private Search clients begin with the Registry or an Evening.
ON WHAT THIS IS WORTH
A membership with The Courtship Bureau is not a small decision, and we would not wish it to be. It reflects a real commitment — of our time, our care, and the genuine work of finding the right person for you.
We have priced our memberships to be reachable by the professionals we are here to serve — not reserved for a wealthy few. What you are paying for is not a subscription to a database. It is a person: a matchmaker who knows you, searches for you, and stays beside you until the introduction is right.
For something as significant as who you will spend your life with, we believe that is worth a great deal.
