Our NYC Matchmaking Process
It All Starts With Learning About You and….Who You’d Love to Meet.
Ancient Wisdom Modern Love (AWML) is not your grandmother’s matchmaker. We aren’t here to “arrange” a marriage or match two families or find you a merely “suitable” prospect. Our goal is your goal – to find you a deep connection leading to a vibrant relationship where both people thrive - to find “the One” for you.
Born in New York, I’m a former Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan Securities investment banker who has been connecting great people since my college days. My own finance career started in Manhattan and I worked long hours so I understand where many of my clients are coming from - that drive, that focus, the ambition. Our focus areas are UHNW, and educated, ambitious professionals.
Learning about your personal and dating goals helps us to find the right people for you. Every engagement begins with a private, in-depth consultation. We take the time to understand not just what you're looking for, but who you are — your values, your lifestyle, your long-term vision. From there, we handcraft each introduction personally, drawing on our curated network of exceptional singles
Serving All of New York City and the Tri-State Area
Our NYC Clients
We work regularly with the best people in New York - Manhattan, Brooklyn and beyond. And often they are busy - they work in finance, tech, law, medicine - and their time matters.
One of our favorite clients is a leading finance executive who…is an overthinker and that blocked him from finding someone special. Over time and meeting dates and he trusted our team more and more to do a little of the thinking on date selections and let us surprise him.
He’s great at metrics, numbers, strategies and even interviewing at work - but those same assets and acumen actually hurt him in dating well and from seeing the many facets of his date and how feelings, trust and laughter should not be constantly evaluated and tested. Fortunately, he let go and found joy in meeting a women - they went out - not the typical coffee or drinks - but for a picnic - she was a little different than his typical date and they’re still dating so we will be checking in soon!
I’m a married (over two decades) with three young adults - and yes as a former JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs banker I’ve had a terrific finance career, but the skills for building a partnership, a family, a marriage are quite different. Patience, humor, team-work, responsibility and optimism - those factors matter.
My team and I are at the intersection of meeting so many single people - young and old - and the data and experience matters when we help find partners find our clients.

Cassindy introduced.
Our backgrounds were very similar, and we had lot in common, yet we would not have met without her nudge. We fell in love the day we first met and we’ve been married ever since. Cassindy is our trusted friend for life!

Experienced Matchmaker.
Cassie has been a matchmaker since her college days at Wellesley. She helped me identify my now husband. He is my one true love. He understands, accepts, and celebrates me. Without her sage advice, I would not be married today.

Checklist of Love: What to Look for in a Partner
FAQs
Do you serve Brooklyn and the Tri-State area?
1
Yes. My clients span Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and out into the Tri-State — from the Upper East Side to Greenwich. I've hosted events at the Penn Club and around the city, and I work with people who live and date across all of New York.
How much does an Asian matchmaker in New York cost?
2
It depends on the service and the length of the search. VIP matchmaking is a bespoke, high-touch engagement; date coaching is a lighter option for people who want guidance rather than full-service introductions. The best next step is a free intro call, where I'll walk you through the options and what fits your situation.
How is this different from a dating app?
3
Dating apps give you volume, but usually with limited information — and sometimes real safety concerns. I meet every person I introduce you to. I know how they handle disappointment, whether their actions match their words, and what they're actually looking for — not what a profile says.
Do you only work with Asian clients?
4
No. I'm a third-generation Chinese matchmaker, and that shapes how I work — I take family, culture, and long-term compatibility seriously. But my clients come from all backgrounds. What they share is that they're serious about finding a real partner.
