A Private Matchmaker Near Manhattan Beach, California
Julie Ferman is a private Los Angeles matchmaker and dating coach who has worked with relationship-minded singles across Greater Los Angeles since 2001, including Manhattan Beach and the rest of the South Bay of Los Angeles County, California. Her practice is built for long-term dating: she selects and vets every introduction personally, both people see photos and a detailed profile and agree before a date is arranged, and she gathers feedback and coaches after every introduction. She is credited with over 1,500 couples and has personally registered more than 40,000 singles. Registration is free and private, with no public profile and no swiping. A 60-minute Strategy Session with Julie, by phone or Zoom, is $295, and personal matchmaking starts at $25,000. South Bay clients work with Julie through her Los Angeles office on Wilshire Boulevard, and her First Date Concierge service handles the logistics of each first meeting.
A Matchmaker Who Works for the Long Term
Julie has won iDate’s Best Matchmaker Award four times. Her podcast, Cupid’s Coach, has a stated purpose: to “Transform Me to We” through doing dating well.
In practice that means Julie gets to know who you are and what you need in a relationship, beyond what looks good on paper, and introduces you to people who are ready for one. After every introduction she gathers feedback from both people and uses it to refine the search.
Matchmaking Built for Long-Term Dating
Looking for a long-term partner is a different search from casual dating. These are the parts of Julie’s process that are built for it.
Key criteria first
In your Strategy Session you and Julie separate your preferences from your requirements. Before the session Julie runs a search to preview candidates, so the conversation is about real people rather than an abstract type.
Relationship readiness
Julie evaluates every potential introduction on compatibility, relationship readiness, shared values, lifestyle and mutual interest. Someone who isn’t ready for a relationship isn’t a good introduction, however attractive they are.
Both people say yes
Both of you see photos and a detailed profile before anything is arranged, so every first date starts with mutual interest.
Coaching while you date
Julie coaches you through the early dates as well as the introductions. One client wrote that she and her husband would not have cemented their relationship without that coaching.

Serving Manhattan Beach and the South Bay
Manhattan Beach is a beach city in the South Bay of Los Angeles County, California, between El Segundo and Hermosa Beach (ZIP code 90266), and not Manhattan in New York. It is one of the Los Angeles areas Julie serves, and South Bay singles are welcome to register from:
- Manhattan Beach
- Hermosa Beach
- Redondo Beach
- El Segundo
- Palos Verdes Peninsula
- Torrance
South Bay clients work with Julie by phone and Zoom. Introductions come from her community of registered singles across Southern California, and distance can be one of your key criteria.
Julie also works with singles in Beverly Hills, Santa Monica and Brentwood and Malibu, and across Greater Los Angeles.
Who Julie Works With in the South Bay
Julie works with relationship-minded men and women of all ages who want a lasting partnership. You may be a good fit if you:
- Want marriage or a long-term partnership, not casual dating
- Are ready for a relationship now, not someday
- Are dating again after a divorce or the loss of a partner
- Want introductions to people who have been vetted and share your values
- Would rather not have a public dating profile
