Five star dating service!
I joined Elite Introductions two years ago and have no regrets as to the financial commitment I made to engage Elite. The calibre of people that were put forward to me were absolute professionals and true gentlemen. I found Trudy Gilbert to be totally discreet and professional in every sense of the word living up to the diligent screening process. I was determined not to resort to online dating as Elite cuts through all the trash and comes up with the real deal! I would highly recommend Elite Introductions to anyone ready to find a true life partner.

Staying on course in my search for love
In the middle of this pandemic, the last thing I wanted was to have to resort to online dating but I was determined to stay on course in my search for love. Elite are still organising matches and dates within the restrictions and the two video dates I’ve had so far have been with men who are pretty much exactly what I asked for. The second was with Matt and we prepared a meal online and shared cooking tips. We both got a little competitive pretending we were MKR contestants. It was hilarious. This week we’re going for a run together which we bo...Read more
th love to do. One of the many reasons Trudy matched us. Thank you Trudy for your diligent screening process, cutting through all the trash and putting me only with the type of people really worth considering as a true life companion.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Best decision, great members, very happy!
I joined Elite Introductions for the first time two years ago. I was hesitant that the calibre of people I was looking for were actually out there but I was really impressed with my first date. It didn't go any further but my confidence was definitely boosted. The second man I met through Elite became a one year relationship which Trudy guided me with. After another year break and some unimpressive app dates, I knew who to call once I was really ready to try again. Amazingly, Trudy came through once more. Jake is amazing and we are both really excited as to where this is leading. I hope Jake means I never again need to call Trudy to find someone but for any executive ready for a life partner, I would look nowhere else!

Great helper to find the life partner
I moved to Sydney into my 20s, and since then had a string of busy executive jobs. As I started focussing on the relationships into my 30s, I found most friends married and online apps being the main option. This can feel like a second job, with time spent on swiping, dates being cancelled, and bad matches. Trudy is great at setting up introductions with high quality potential partners who I would not have likely met in real life. There are no guarantees of a spark, but at the very least every date will be memorable with much in common!

Met some lovely people on this service
As the owner of a company in advertising, I find it very difficult to allocate the time I would like to finding the right person. Ironic really in that I know the importance of advertising others and my own company but give little time to advertising myself. :D I also know the importance of having someone else help see the best and share insights that you just might miss with eyes on yourself.
Enter Elite Introductions. Trudy is no nonsense and to the point, but interested in me, and has connected me with some lovely ladies as promised.

How to make a challenging process smarter!
As a busy professional I found Trudy and her thoughtfully curated and matched introductions invaluable.
The process of finding compatible and companionable significant others can be exhausting and disheartening and will always take time!
Trudy personally engages in this process with you and I found her so caring, humorous, encouraging and supportive as each step unfolded.
While it is entirely up to the couple to make what they will of the introductions, I looked forward to and thoroughly enjoyed meeting the fascinating and fabulous gentle...Read more

A tailored solution for busy executives to find their 'perfect' match!
After trying various other options, I came across Elite as a Google search result for tailored executive matchmaking services. Looking through their website, there were testimonials and AFR article extracts that seem to validate their credentials and prompted me to sign up.
Elite invests a lot of time and efforts in understanding you as a person by way of face to face interview and storing all necessary information in their database. For every date, I get a call from Trudy with a comprehensive description of the person and then there is a follo...Read more

I'm The Luckiest Man
I joined Elite as I was serious about finding a life partner and wasn't meeting the right kind of girls on the apps. My first few dates with Elite were with really lovely girls, they were intelligent, fun and really nice but things didnt work out. Then I had a good chat with Trudy and she gave me some feedback that really changed my mindset and the next person she introduced me to is now my girlfriend. We've been together for about six months now and she is kind,, caring, driven and absolutely gorgeous, I'm the luckiets man! She met my family, they love her and we have just returned from a family ski trip at my sister's place in the States. I can't thank Trudy enough.

Such wonderful caring matchmakers!
Elite Introductions International are an extremely professional and caring service. I felt they had a very good understanding of what I was looking for and delivered. My first date was with an intelligent, funny lovely man. Elite Introductions were accessible, and very informative re what to expect. It’s been a thoroughly enjoyable experience.

Let the professionals find you your match! Great service!
I have tried the online dating thing for a while, and beside the fact that it felt like having a second job, I also wasn't getting anywhere. That's when I was recommended to join Elite Introductions by a friend who had success in finding his match through their service.
Trudy took the time to get to know the real me and what I was looking for! I was finally excited about dating again!
After every date, I had the opportunity to give Trudy feedback and talk through my thoughts. She's always available to give great advice, it's like having your be...Read more

Personal Service and Good Value for Money
I joined Elite after relocating here from the US. While I was going on dates, I wasn't finding "appropriate" people. As a busy professional, I chose not to spend my time swiping endlessly.
Elite held an hour long face-to-face interview and got to know ME. The matches have been much more my kind of executive individuals with many things in common. There are unique aspects to Elite including helpful emails with Date Suggestions, Communication Etiquette, etc. There is also Date Feedback so there is a tracking of how things went, plus/minus data s...Read more

Impressed beyond my expectations
This year I bought myself a birthday gift, it was a meeting with Trudy at Elite Introductions, I had been recommended and with a complete fear of online dating Elite seemed like the perfect service for me. As a successful independent woman entrepreneur and very frequent international traveller, 10+ years divorced with adult and near adult children, there was no denying I had a big void in my life, and that was a great partner. I had recently ended a difficult relationship and my confidence in meeting someone kind had been rocked, I had a br...Read more
oken wing. Trudy was incredible, thorough and professional. She understood me more than I understood myself and introduced me to really beautiful, kind and genuine like minded people just like me, looking for the same. I appreciate the considered approach Trudy has displayed, a few quality dates, not at all overwhelming and with men with genuine synergies. Less is more, quality is everything and patience will be rewarded and that is my experience of Elite. Trudy is meticulous in her craft, she is a professional, discrete and understanding, and above all, she has delivered as promised. My expectations have been more than met and I am liking my present, thank you so much Trudy. You are the match-making whisperer and I truly appreciate the patience, kindness and the meticulous way you have worked in restoring my confidence in finding love.Similar opinion?

The right people
I suspect like a lot of people, I had been struggling with online dating and trying to sift through those who would be most compatible with me.
My experience of working with Trudy has been so different. Trudy made the effort to really get to understand me and people I have met through her have been delightful. I thoroughly recommend her service.

A great service
Arriving in a new city and starting out with a limited network of contacts can be daunting in many respects, especially if you are also looking for a genuine romantic connection. Signing up with Elite turned out to be a great help. They were very quick to build both a good idea of what I was after and a good rapport. After that it was as close to being introduced to friends of friends as I could hope to get. Thank you!

Excellent
A few years ago, at the Ivy Sydney, Trudy was part of a function where she gave an impressive speech about what she does, what motivates her and how she helps matching likeminded professionals. At the time I was in a relationship and didn't require any assistance. After my relationship ended I joined dating apps and was disappointed to find out the people on the apps are not who you think they are plus they are not on the same page as you. I remembered Trudy's speech and reached out. From a perspective of a female who just turned 30, I must sa...Read more
y everything has been nothing but excellent. If you are unsure about this service, I can ensure you Trudy is a true professional. She will always provide you with timelines in respect of finding you a date, who she has spoken to and when someone is reaching out to you. So far I have had numerous dates and couldn't be happier to have met such likeminded people already! Thank you for such a great experience :)Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Disappointment
I joined in January of 2018. At my first and only meeting with [name removed] I was pretty much told that it would be easy for her to match me with someone. At first I had regular contact with her but after the first 3 months I had to chase. She was very difficult to get hold of and did not always return calls or emails. I had 2 face to face matches and 2 phone matches. None of them met my criteria in any way. I was very disappointed. I asked for a refund however she dodged the question and gave me my final match who clearly was involved with s...Read more
omeone else and not interested. After being advised my membership had expired, I was told that I would be considered for future matches however have heard absolutely nothing and do not expect to hear anything. I feel very misled. I would like to go to Fair Trading however am not sure how strong my case would be. Just very disappointed with something that was promoted as being easy and reliable.1 comment

5 stars & I am over the moon!
Trudy, thank you for providing a valuable and unique match making service. I was hesitant to use such a service in the beginning but I have benefited greatly from taking the plunge. You have introduced me to high calibre gentlemen. And...I have found a special connection with an amazing man! You have assisted in enhancing my life and I am most grateful for your sensitive and professional approach.

2.5 stars
This is written from the perspective of a female in her early 30s. It is a review of the service between Oct 2016 and July 2017.
I was signed promptly and the service was friendly and polite at the first meeting. I did not hear about a match for two weeks and chased them up. About 5 weeks after signing I received my first match. Not exactly my criteria (not university educated) but I was happy to give it a go. The date did not eventuate on his part.
A second match was received two weeks later although a date did not happen for a few weeks...Read more
. He took one look at me and decided he did not like me. Then I heard nothing for 6 months. After the second match I chased the matchmaker politely for a third match. I emailed her probably about fortnightly, generally got prompt responses back (except two went unanswered) half the responses indicated she was working on something. Then I started to give up and only emailed around monthly. Out of the blue I received a third match in July 2017. However when I went to meet him, I find he does not match my hard criteria (was of a particular religious background). A 4th match was offered two weeks after this, he was 40 (technically over 40 by a few months) although did not meet my soft criteria (had a particular interest I did not like). I agreed to meet him anyway.1 comment

Perfect service
From the moment I began talking to Trudy I felt at ease about the process and service that she offers which I see as being very unique in the current world of social media/internet. Trudy is very detailed and exceptionally professional making you feel comfortable and excited about enjoying the process of potentially meeting your match. In the short time I have been part of the service I have already been contacted about potential matches and look forward to meeting the next one that had been organised. I would highly recommend this service to anyone serious about meeting a partner with similar values and wanting to get excited about dating again... it shouldn't be a swipe right nor a chore!

A major disappointment - the business is a shame
I paid the substantial amount of money and was very open about possible matches. Similar to other posts I was told on 2-3 occasions they had identified someone and nothing ever eventuated. After 6 months of no offer of a date I requested a refund. It was an 8 month process to get a refund and I found they continually were disrespectful. I would not recommend this service.

od. I requested a refund which the business agreed they would pay. However it took calls to Consumer Affairs and letters before a partial refund was paid. I took action with VCAT to obtain the remainder of my refund and to ensure others were aware of the manner in which Elite had conducted business in my situation. In my situation, the conduct and the values of this business were not aligned to reasonable business practices. I would urge others in a similar situation to take action against this business if you have not been treated with respect. The process and cost to take a claim to VCAT or NCAT is minimal (note: your claim should include the contract with Elite).1 comment
