Showers of Happiness to Wendy and Bill!

admin — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 23:04:13 +0000

Last week I attended a shower for Wendy and Bill, a couple I matched together September 2010, and the big DAY is less than weeks away at a family ceremony in Mexico!!!!

Kim P (pictured right), referred Wendy (62, pictured center) a friend of hers to me to help her in her quest to finding her soul mate. Wendy even went on Shaw TV with me in an interview at the beginning of her soul mate journey that you can watch, and is posted on my site on my media page. Bill, the second gent I sent her on a date with, didn’t start out as that instant match. They had a great time on their first date, and she said she hadn’t felt so good in ages, but she wasnt sure…..I said, Why don’t you just try seeing him again? The next Halloween — nearly a year from their first meeting — he trick-or-treated at her door dressed up in costume, dropped to his knees, with a ring in his hand.

I can still remember her calling to tell me the news. She was crying and said, ‘If you hadn’t encouraged me to see him again, I might not have. Now I’m getting married!’”

Many Thanks to Kim, and Congratulations to the Happy Couple, Bill and Wendy!!!!!!! Happy Retirement too!!!!!!

Victoria Singles Event…..What a Night!

admin — Tue, 25 Oct 2011 03:46:27 +0000

Well from the amount of warm emails I received and the buzz at the venue last Thursday night the Matchmaker For Hire/Church and State Singles Event was a total hit. I had a great time loved the food, loved the wine. I had a lot of fun reading your responses to the question “What kind of wine would you be and why” prior to the event when I was doing the matching, there were some truly imaginative narratives. Kim Pullen featured some very good tasting wine paired with some amazing appys created by Church and States Candace Hartley (the deep fried shrimp was my favourite , followed closely by the Lamb slider(s), I had a couple I couldn’t help myself.)

A shot of Jill and I just before heading to Church and State winery. I was a little nervous about the speech I was going to give that night, I’m not a natural public speaker, but I got through it none the less.

Kim Pullen helped us understand the wine parings and little history of the origins of Syrah/Shiraz debate.

The best part of the night was watching as people went through their lists and searched out their matches.

Then watching as the magic happen as people got together.

Thanks to April Ponsford and Birgit Piskor for their gallery showing.

We even had a raptor

Here’s some more random shots of people mingling :

Our Girl

admin — Thu, 13 Oct 2011 22:58:55 +0000

We are sad to announce the passing of Helénè Falardeau, a beloved dear friend and colleague of Jill and myself for some years. She is now at peace from her 5+ year courageous battle with cancer. Helene’s life was a great source of pride and inspiration thru her art, her attention to detail and her creative talents. We will remember the fun we had at the office matching and writing bios as a team. Although she was the size of a minute, she had the heart and strength of a lion. She always ceased to amaze us and was a source of inspiration and knowing when it came to the spiritual realm. Never afraid of what was waiting for her at the end she was happy and content at returning to where she belonged (home). We will miss her deeply.

Due to popular demand, we have finalized details around a return of our Singles Event in Victoria. I have once again partnered with Kim Pullen, Proprietor of Church & State Wines. This is a unique opportunity to meet, mix and mingle with other singles, make friends, and have fun with the possibility of meeting that special someone.

Taste the award winning wines of Church & State, paired with food prepared by the head chef at Church & State, meet the relationship pros, participate in a fine art silent auction, have a chance to win some fabulous door prizes, and much much more…… all taking place among an elegant cocktail party atmosphere.

Here is the promo ad that will run next weekend to launch the tickets which are very limited to singles 45+ (our last event sold out in 7 days)……watch for more details and the invite over the next week, or better yet call now to reserve your ticket.
