Meet Erica
Erica Suzanne
Founder / Executive Matchmaker
I’m Erica Suzanne McKay, founder of Erica Suzanne Matchmaking, modern-day matchmaker, and relationship realist. After 25+ years in the world of high-end matchmaking, I’ve seen it all, the success stories, the false starts, the ghosting, the glow-ups, and the “he looked nothing like his photos” moments.
I’ve been through divorce. I’ve rebuilt. I’ve found love again – with an incredible man I actually met on the job (yes, matchmaking magic is real, you can ask me about it on our call). Between us, we co-parent five amazing teenagers and navigate life with humor, grace, and a whole lot of real talk.
I created this business because I know what it’s like to want more, and to feel like you’ve exhausted every option. I work with high-achieving, emotionally intelligent men and women who are successful in almost every area of life… except this one. That’s where I come in.
My approach is personal, high-touch, and intuitive. No algorithms, no guess-work, and definitely no “just give it a bit of time” advice. I get to know my clients deeply so I can connect them with people who truly align; in values, energy, lifestyle, and ambition.
Whether you’re newly single, navigating a divorce, or just done with the apps, I’m here to guide you to the kind of relationship that lasts.
My Amazing Team
Katie
Vice President / Client Relations
I’m Katie, Vice President here at Erica Suzanne Matchmaking, and your personal partner in this journey to love.
With over a decade of experience in the matchmaking world, I’ve seen first-hand how powerful the right connection can be. My job is to make sure every detail is taken care of behind the scenes so that your experience is seamless, thoughtful, and truly personalized.
I combine a deep understanding of human behaviour with modern tools and timeless matchmaking principles to help our clients find genuine, lasting relationships. You’ve taken a bold step by being here, and I’m honoured to walk this path with you.
Jennifer S
Lead Matchmaker
For years, I’ve been the secret weapon behind love stories that last, matching exceptional men and women across the U.S. My work has led to marriages, long-term commitments, and countless unforgettable connections.
I know the dating world inside and out. Not just professionally, but personally. After my divorce in 2018, I jumped back into modern dating, used every tool in my matchmaking toolbox, and found my person. Now, I help my clients do the same.
I live in Illinois with my three teenagers and split my time between match calls and doing the things I love: running, cycling, gardening, reading, and soaking up the sun at the beach. Matchmaking isn’t just my job, it’s my passion. I’ll never retire because helping people find love is what I was born to do.
Mary
Young Luxe Founder
President / Matchmaker
Hi, I’m Mary – former collegiate basketball player turned modern-day matchmaker. I’ve been dreaming about working in this world since I was ten years old, and today, I get to do just that as Director of Young Luxe, the newest division of Erica Suzanne Matchmaking.
After years on the court at Missouri Western, I’ve taken everything I learned about leadership, teamwork, and drive and poured it into helping young professionals find love. I bring a fresh perspective, a competitive spirit, and a deep passion for connection to everything I do. My goal? To modernize the matchmaking experience and help my generation approach love with confidence, clarity, and purpose.
Jennifer O
Matchmaker/Executive Recruiter
Originally from Connecticut and now living in St. Johns, Florida, Jennifer brings several years of experience as a luxury matchmaker, alongside more than two decades of building strong client relationships.
Jennifer’s passion for matchmaking is deeply personal. Having experienced divorce and the challenges of single parenthood herself, she knows the courage it takes to believe in love again. Today, she is happily married to the love of her life, and together they have built a wonderful family. Her own journey gives her a deep appreciation for second chances and the life changing power of finding the right partner.
Jennifer believes great matchmaking starts with truly listening. She loves getting to know each person’s story, understanding what matters most to them, and helping them find a relationship built on authenticity, shared values, and lasting connection. She never takes for granted the trust placed in her, and considers it a true privilege to play even a small part in someone’s love story.
When she is not with her husband, three children, and two dogs, she can be found riding shotgun on a golf cart (self-appointed Chief Cart Officer, though she’s never actually swung a club), reading, or relaxing on one of Florida’s beautiful beaches.
Amanda
General Manager
Hi, I’m Amanda! General Manager at Erica Suzanne Matchmaking, where I oversee the day-to-day operations and work closely with our team to ensure every client has an exceptional experience from start to finish.
Originally from Wisconsin, I now call Illinois home, where I live with my husband and our 6-year-old son. Outside of work, I love spending time with my family, staying active, and finding any excuse to get outdoors. I’ve been part of the matchmaking industry for the past couple of years, and it has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my career.
What I love most about matchmaking is getting to know each client’s unique story and helping them find a relationship that truly fits who they are. Seeing the excitement and hope that comes with meaningful connections is incredibly rewarding, and I feel grateful to be part of something that has the potential to change someone’s life.
