About Lisa

Lisa Ronis is a New York City Matchmaker who specializes in introducing upscale singles to one another who are too busy to meet the right people on their own. She has a knack for meeting fabulous, smart, attractive mates for her clients and an innate ability to analyze their compatibility. This has resulted in committed relationships, some leading to marriage. Ronis believes that anyone who is truly committed to the idea of being in a successful relationship deserves to find a great partner. Ronis received a B.A. of Fine Arts from Hunter College, with additional courses from Parsons School of Design and Fashion Institute of Technology. She then entered the fashion business where she held many executive positions, her last being Vice President of Design for Fashion Accessories at Liz Claiborne. Concentrating on what she does best, meeting and matching the right people, she left the fashion industry and founded Lisa Ronis Personal Matchmaking in 2000. Lisa’s approach to matchmaking is a very personalized and unique one. She works one on one with each client, offering coaching and feedback after the dates. She has earned the reputation as “the matchmaker who really listens”. In addition to her matchmaking, Lisa offers image consulting to her clients. She helps them create a winning self-image and develop the attitudes and skills to find someone truly compatible.

For most of her life Lisa has been active in fundraising for various organizations. She has managed to incorporate her matchmaking business into her charity work by organizing fundraising events for singles. She continues to support many charities in New York City.
