Each fall 100 matchmakers from all over the globe meet in New York to discuss best practices and industry trends. I have developed a valuable network of industry professionals I now turn to when I need to brainstorm or listen to a new idea. I always come home energized with a zillion new ideas that I want to implement to improve the business.

It never ceases to amaze me how much things can change in 12 months....and we better adapt or we'll be forgotten! Eight at Eight operates as a small-business and we must stay abreast of the trends to stay relevant. I am a loyal subscriber to Entreprenur Magazine, Fortune Small Business, and have joined local Entrepreneur groups to network.

Frankly - I do give a Damn!

Ok so I've fallen into the trap. I was ambitious about starting this blog and keeping our community in touch with what is going on with Eight at Eight. Each week is different and there are always fun developments and observatons to share.

Like all busy business women.....I've fallen off the wagon. But as God as my witness I vow to never quit blogging again. I'm regrouping at the beach this week. World headquarters for Eight at Eight will be working from 9-6 from the hotel balcony, listening to the ocean and catching some rays. Phones are forwarded and wireless works! Cocktails start promptly at 6:01 so if you're in the area please give us a shout. (St. Simons, GA)

10 Year Anniversary Party Pics are UP!

10 Year Anniversary Milestone

One of our favorite dates on the calendar is 08/08. Eight at Eight has a lot to celebrate so we hosted cocktail parties nationwide where hundreds of singles gathered to toast our success.

TEN unbelievable years in business and still going strong. I have always enjoyed bringing couples together and finding a way to do that for a living has been tremendously rewarding. I want to thank all of you for your enthusiastic participation at our events and your encouragement along the way.

Cheers!

Loving the Love from DC!

Eight at Eight is almost 10 years old. For many years I often heard, "You're in some great cities but what about DC?" In 2008 I finally decided to conquer the vibrant social scene in the District of Columbia by expanding our services.

The DC Chapter is our youngest, but it is well on its way to being our strongest. Eight at Eight strategically expanded to cities that are the hub of their region. The "best and brightest" are attracted to these hubs and then become our valued clients. Typical singles are working long hours, new to the city, and have trouble meeting like minded friends. voila - Eight at Eight to the rescue!

There are two fabulous blogs in DC that have recently "outed" Eight at Eight. Check out the fantastic coverage and thanks for spreading the word!

Dear Valued Gentlemen Clients,
I want to send you a personal note to update you on the exciting developments with One on One Matchmaking. The new business that launched last spring has blossomed into a full-blown Matchmaking Enterprise!

I search on behalf of male clients who receive my undivided attention. I use my personal contacts as well as my 8at8 client base to find them the right ONE. Additionally we have monthly Wing-Woman outings where we scout for women together! It is a blast and I'm grateful that these gentlemen trust me to match you with appropriate ladies.

The good news is that they are seeing results! Just last night one of my bachelors went on a second date to a concert and another bachelor got some kissin' as he and his first date waited at the valet.

The excitement continues. If you or someone you know is looking to hire the BEST matchmaker, please contact me. Lets talk - I need to hear what you're looking for!

Sincerely,
Sarah Kathryn Smith
