September 22, 2021

With 30 years of experience, The Modern Matchmaker has found the perfect matches for clients since 1991. Founder and Professional Matchmaker, Susan Dunhoff, realized at a young age how hard it was for busy professionals to find love when she was looking for her perfect match. Susan noticed the need for matchmaking in the Pittsburgh area, which inspired her to start The Modern Matchmaker to help others in the same situation as Susan when she was dating. Since then, The Modern Matchmaker has grown to a team of 6 women who are passionate about helping professional singles find their perfect match. Let The Modern Matchmaker and Susan Dunhoff’s reviews speak for themselves — they are all you need to find trust in this process.

Susan and The Modern Matchmaker team have developed a very thorough process to ensure that you receive compatible matches. It starts with a private consultation where she gets to know you and what you’re ideally looking for in a perfect match. Once you are a client, The Modern Matchmaker team completes a background check and adds your profile to our private database. We review the profiles of other clients and recommend compatible matches for you to review. After every first date, we want your feedback. It helps us to refine our search and match criteria if necessary. We continue the process until you find your perfect match.


At The Modern Matchmaker, Susan Dunhoff has built a system that helps people find love and allows The Modern Matchmaker to connect with each client. Every team member will put your interests first and work with you to find a match that you genuinely connect with.
