I am most surprised to read these reviews as my experience was entirely different. I received an excellent and efficient service from the dedicated team and they have introduced me to my future bride. Many thanks.

Speaking factually about my experience: in my late 20s I paid £3000 for membership for 12 introductions with the option to take up to 12 months break at any time. I had 3 introductions and almost another which unfortunately didn't materialise due to work commitments. Then I met my now husband of my own accord and asked for the 12 month break. By the end of the break period I was engaged and asked for some of my money back. They replied with a "No, but congratulations!" email. I looked over the contract and accepted that I was gullible enough to sign it and chalked it up to life experience. However, potential joiners should know that they are the type of business who feel justified in keeping your total sum of money for potentially a tiny amount of work they will do.
Here's a more detailed review I saw in the FT, also highlighting their upfront payment hustling. Why don't they charge monthly or quarterly subscriptions? Why do they insist on full payment immediately on joining? I never thought of myself as a mark' until I read this:
Best of Money: single, dating and paying a very high price for it'

Dear consumers,
In this modern times we are lucky we get to communicate online.
I made a complaint about The Berkeley trying to change there membership fee accordingly .
They charged me £500 per meet , instead of the usual fee.
These days is Luxy not a better match ?or seek a members club and meet your own match face to face x
Verifyd members all over the world for £78
The ladies at TB even asked what car do I drive?? As to check out how much they could get out of me .

Dear all,
I was ready to pay 6000£ to this agency, beacouse I'm trying to find a decent person to share my life with. After reading your stories, I don't think that is a good idea.
Good luck to all of you

I was totally outraged by the Berkeley introduction service.
They discreetly provide a service cheaper that what they advertise.
They make judgments upon you're first introduction.
Beware as this company will get a lot of complaints, please post on the Internet if you have had an unpleasant experience with this company.
Reviews online are very helpful indeed.

I can now confirm that I have reached an amicable resolution to the issues raised in my review with Berkeley International Limited. Whilst I have sought to permanently remove the review, I have been unable to do so as a result of the websites policy.

I was told I could join for £300
But to keep it quite, as they were charging others considerbly more. (10,00 +).
I was so disappointed as it took 6 mother to actually meet someone.
Ithen I was given an apology.
But the service is not with the modern times, I strongly recommend against using this match making service.
Just read the reviews about it and decide for yourself

You joined us as we building our Manchester Membership and we were delighted that you had inquired about our services and also delighted to have had met you.
You stated you were not ready to commit to our standard membership fee and we agreed, on this one occasion, to work on a lesser fee to suit your budget. For this you signed a contract and confidentiality agreement.
Berkeley International provides a bespoke service to all our clients and we are proud that over 75% of our members go into long-term relationships. It is as a result of this success rate that personal recommendation is our greatest source of new clients.
Feel free to contact us again if so wish, we shall be delighted to look after you. Sincerely, Berkeley International Team.
Well actually the website is impressive - it looks the real package that you are actually going to get a truly personal service of a company that will actually listen to your requests, what you are seeking, who you would like to meet and that they will really make an effort to find you some realistic matches.
HA HA..... Really? Err - No.
The person that interviews you and gets your hopes up disappears into the background and you are then passed to people who have never met you, have one photo of you (who ever looks good/real/true to life in a snapshot?!) and a written paragraph of your life. Does that really get across the person you are? Your personality? Who is your ideal match? No. Equally they have never (usually) met the person they then introduce to you. It seems to take them forever to come up with a suggestion of a 'match' (obviously do not have enough people on their books) and then you are presented with a few lines of who they think you are suited to.
No matter how many times after meeting people and giving lengthy feedback on the suitability of the person, ie trying to build up a picture of the type of person you are actually after, the next one put forward bares no resemblance to your requests.
Very expensive for the service you get - I haven't heard many success stories. Try Tinder instead......
