About Paula Pardel
Professional Matchmaker Ready to Help You Find Love
I’ve always loved connecting people. Back in 2018, upon seeing an ad for a matchmaker, I knew this could be my calling. So, I set out on a new career. While the original matchmaking company folded, I did not! I took the opportunity to start my own matchmaking company and it was, in fact, immediate love.
Bloom Matchmaking became reality in 2020. Okay, perhaps not the best timing, but throughout the pandemic and its aftermath, we’ve thrived and so did the many lasting relationships Bloom Matchmaking was responsible for arranging.
It’s my fervent belief that to doing things, you must do it right the first time. I also don’t deviate from my personal values, morals and ethics. So, a a matchmaker, I coach my clients to show up as their best selves and coach them throughout the dating process.
I am very proud of what Bloom Matchmaking has accomplished. Over the years I’ve learned a lot and honed my skills in connecting the right people. I collaborate with a wonderful network of matchmakers all over the world. We offer each other advice and help matching clients. Bloom Matchmaking is where I help love bloom for my clients. Join me on the journey to find lasting love.
