About Us

For more than 30 years, we’ve been helping busy professionals take the stress out of dating. Our matchmakers are hand-selecting matches and coordinating dates near you in Western New York.

With thousands of success stories over the years, It’s Just Lunch is the number one personalized matchmaking service in the world.

Our Process

It all starts with a phone conversation where we get to know you and what you’re looking for in a potential partner. From there, our professional matchmakers hand-select and coordinate your date. We’ll plan all the details of the date for you, so you can sit back and enjoy yourself. After your date, we ask for feedback so we can further refine your matches. If it worked out —even better!

Dating doesn’t have to be complicated

Whether you're too busy to search, tired of swiping, or just not meeting the right kind of people, It's Just Lunch can streamline your dating journey.

Share your story

We want to know about you, your hobbies, your dating history, and what you're looking for in a partner.

Match selection

We carefully hand-select your matches and tell you why we think the two of you will hit it off.

Face-to-face dates

From scheduling to reservations, our matchmakers handle the details of your first date.

First impression

After your date, tell us what you liked and didn't like about your date so we can fine-tune our matching process.

Have fun!

RICK & CHRISTINA

“It was super easy because It’s Just Lunch arranged the dates. All I had to do was get ready and meet at the restaurant. And unlike online dating, I felt that my dates were interested in meeting quality people, not one-night stands. Your matchmaker calls you up with a match and then gives you the details of the date. All you have to do is show up and have fun!”
