Women are often called emotional, yet in our industry emotion is a strength.

It allows us to listen deeply, understand people’s stories and recognise what truly matters. And we do it with strength, grace and determination.

Every day this work asks for instinct, judgement and empathy in equal measure

And this remarkable team does exactly that 👊🏼

Different strengths.
Different perspectives.
One shared commitment to helping people find meaningful relationships.

I feel incredibly proud to work alongside them every day.

Women have always carried the world forward.
Today we celebrate that strength.

Happy International Women’s Day.

Today marks 16 years of Bowes-Lyon Partnership - a milestone that we're proud and grateful to recognise, and made all the more meaningful given today’s challenging business operating climate!

After sixteen years, many businesses might choose to slow the pace. Instead, we are celebrating our strongest year to date: record numbers of successful matches and the highest number of weddings in our history.

Our work has always been rooted in human connection. At a time when the world feels increasingly digital and distracted, people are seeking authenticity, hope, and the anticipation of something meaningful and joyful.

We are honoured to play a role in that journey.

A heartfelt thank you to our fantastic members, team, and partners who continue to place their trust in us.

Here’s to the years ahead....and to the many love stories still to be written! 💕

Not only are my team fantastically talented, unbelievably accomplished, and utterly intuitive…..they’re also totally gorgeous! 😍

How lucky am I, and how lucky are our members to reap the benefits of their expertise!

I’m feeling very grateful for each and every one of them. 💕

Our matchmaking memberships include a photo shoot for all our members and so, we practice what we preach, and we recruited the amazing skills of Gingersnaps Photography to capture some images of ourselves in July 2025.

We used the backdrop of my sister’s fantastic gastro-pub The William Bray, located in the same village as our Surrey Office…..because a photo shoot is always enhanced by a bottle or two of Prosecco! 🥂

You can find more about this fabulous team of matchmakers, who have created endless relationships, marriages, and families, here:

When two people lean into the process, open their hearts, and trust the journey, magic truly happens ✨

R and F met through us just a few weeks ago and had the most wonderful first date. Conversation flowed, connection sparkled - and they’ve now booked a holiday to the south of France together 🇫🇷💫

This beautiful gift arrived at our office today as a thank you. We’re deeply touched, and so thrilled for them both.

It’s a reminder that love isn’t about luck. It’s about showing up, embracing the possibilities, and letting us guide you there. Here’s to new beginnings, and the joy that follows when you say yes to something real!🥂💕

“Too much choice is overwhelming”

An adage that can be applied to many areas of life….and dating in particular.

This clip encapsulates the difference between the considered approach of matchmaking, and the endless swiping on the dating apps.

Too much choice means you have a higher chance of ending up with nothing, because you are constantly looking for more, and you take longer to get to your goal, because the grass is always greener, and it is always out of reach when you don’t make a decision.

Making a choice is moving forwards towards your goal - it is progress!

Stop swiping, start choosing—because real connections come from decisions, not distractions.
