21 • Camelot interviews every client in person, verifies age and identity, performs a criminal record check and only works with non-smokers. • Camelot's clients are serious about committing to a monogamous relationship. They invest money in the matchmaking process and entrust their hearts to Tregobov. • Camelot's traditional matchmaking process typically results in clients finding their mates within three face-to-face meetings. • Tregobov requires clients to treat each other with dignity and respect. • Camelot helps break patterns, so you are not introduced to the same wrong type of person again. • Camelot's process works. All matches are hand-picked by Lianne, who uses her intuition and well-honed vetting techniques in the process. • There is no way to verify a person's identity, age, criminal background, marital status or intentions. • You may think your online match is serious about a relationship, only to learn they are still looking for the next best thing online. • Online dating can be a tiresome cycle of browsing profiles, unsuccessful attempts at communication and disappointing dates. • Impersonal online connections make it easy to forget there is a real person behind a virtual profile. Some users simply delete or block so-called matches and move on to the next one. • People tend to fall into familiar patterns that don't work, choosing the same type of wrong person again and again. • Online dating sites produce matches using algorithms that lack personal prescreening, interaction and intuition. LIANNE TREGOBOV Owner, Camelot Introductions love concierge ELITE PERSONALIZED MATCHMAKING Photo by Darcy Finley In today's fast-paced world, we retain the services of professionals for everything from tax planning to personal shopping. We rely on experts to help us reach our fitness goals and our financial goals, but when it comes to one of the most important aspects of our lives, too many of us rely on chance, says professional matchmaker Lianne Tregobov, owner of Camelot Introductions. "You should have a trusted, respected matchmaker with a good track record help you with your love goals," says Tregobov, who has successfully matched well over 1,000 couples over the past 25 years. Gifted with very well-honed intuition, Tregobov has even reunited high school sweethearts. Her intuitive abilities and her strong business sense have made her a leader in this industry. "I work with doctors, lawyers, plumbers, police officers, business executives to retired people. They are people who are serious about finding love and they range from mid-twenties to early nineties." Unlike online dating sites that are magnets for people Tregobov calls "fakes and flakes," her sophisticated approach to traditional matchmaking yields serious, prescreened love. One of her clients, an engineer named Keith, learned the hard way that online dating doesn't work. After meeting 85 women online, he realized his time, money and energy were far better spent at Camelot. "Gone are the days when it was thought to be for the desperate and dateless. It's for people who are serious about finding love, who are not interested in the online nonsense and value their privacy and time." Tregobov provides services in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and the U.S. to singles who are financially secure and ready to commit to a serious relationship. She has been retained by individuals because of her success rate throughout North America. In Winnipeg, Camelot Introductions charges a starting fee of $675. Tregobov also offers a Prestige Match service, which costs $10,000 and includes a targeted search process for a one-year period. However, because it requires an intensive level of personal attention and coaching, she limits the number of Prestige clients on her roster. ❚ To learn more, visit camelotintroductions.com or call 204-257-LOVE(5683) CAMELOT INTRODUCTIONS VS ONLINE DATING
