Formed in 1993, Janis Spindel Serious Matchmaking,
Inc. stemmed from the most yuppie of yenta's avocation - bringing
ambitious, time-starved single people together. Janis knew she had
the uncanny knack for adjusting cupid's arrow when prior to going
professional
fourteen different couples she introduced in one year ALL ended up
getting married! It was after that fourteenth phone call Janis put
down the receiver and informed her husband that a matchmaker was
born.
Janis, a former fashion executive, has always had an extremely entrepreneurial
spirit. Prior to becoming Cupid on Call to the world's power
elite, Janis was the proprietor of 9 retail locations of "Mommy
and Me." These shops were THE place for funky and fashionable
moms and their kids in the New York Tri-State Area. Now as the president
and founder of Janis Spindel Serious Matchmaking, Inc., Janis specializes
in pairing up attractive,
well-groomed, well-educated, upscale, professional, single people.
It's the place "Where
people who wouldn't be caught dead doing this meet others who wouldn't
consider it if their lives depended on it!"
Along with individual matchmaking, Spindel also organizes events,
cocktail parties, her signature intimate matchmaking dinners and
daytime outings for single parents and their kids. Her extensive
media coverage includes national television segments on The
Today Show, ABC Nightline News, 60 Minutes II, CNN, Fox and Friends,
The CBS Early Show, Fox News, The
O'Reilly Factor, The Weekend Today Show and
more. She has been featured numerous times in The Wall Street Journal,
The New York Times, The New York Times Magazine (COVER STORY), The
New Yorker, and New York Magazine. Janis is also an award winning
author
with her books: Get
Serious About Getting Married 365 Proven Ways to Find Love
in Less Than a Year (Harper Collins/Regan Books) and How
to Date Men Dating
Secrets from America's Top Matchmaker (Plume/U.S.
Penguin Group). Be sure to pick up copies at your local booksellers,
or on www.amazon.com or www.barnesandnoble.com.
But how does she keep her database fresh? A whirling dervish of
a woman, Spindel gives gutsiness a new name. She'll approach anyone,
anytime, any place, and if they qualify she has their contact information
before they know it. Like most of her clientele, she moves the whole
show to the Hamptons during the summer months.
When confidentiality and selection is key, the power
elite call on their very own Cupid in a Chanel suit, Janis Spindel.
Touting itself as the "boutique" matchmaking service, her
business is kept exclusive through the executive sized fees. Her
success rate speaks for itself, as Spindel is responsible for 805
marriages.
So while the rest of the country wonders "Who Wants to Marry
a Millionaire", Janis Spindel knows whom the millionaires want
to marry...
"I truly love what I do and will leave no stone unturned
until I find my client that special someone," sighs Spindel,
who recently celebrated her 24th wedding anniversary and has two
daughters, a 22 year old and a 9 year old. "After all, what's
more fun than helping someone fall in love!" |
