The County Register’s Professional Dating Service Today

Online dating may have its place, particularly for those looking for more casual connections, but it is also fraught with the challenges of not really knowing who might be behind the dating profile; whether that person is genuinely unattached or indeed, even who they say they are. Internet dating does not always lead to what was hoped for and can be a daunting experience.

As a result, there has never been more demand for our traditional matchmaking service, where all members are first interviewed, ID validated and with background checks in place.

We will have the opportunity of really getting to know you, to understand what is important to you in your future partner and to understand your hopes for all that a future relationship may bring to your life. We find that our professional matchmakers having this level of insight, together with their extensive experience and dedication as dating experts, is very helpful in the search for your perfect partner.

Our Heritage

We were established almost 40 years ago, and the company is still fully supported and endorsed by its founder Heather Heber-Percy and her team of expert matchmakers and exceptional support staff today. Giving you access to some of the most attractive and eligible potential partners anywhere.

London Bound

As a single parent with two small children, on the school run each day, she became friendly with another mother Geraldine Turner and the two of them began running The County Register as a business and as a result of their success – it continues very much in its original form thirty seven years later.

Because of the demand for a traditional, face to face dating agency service, eventually Heather moved to West London, where a huge percentage of high end matchmaking is concentrated and although Geraldine is now retired, The County Register is still run today by Heather and her team, providing a wonderfully high quality, confidential and personal service to discerning daters, who are serious about finding their Mr or Ms Right, all around the UK too.

The County Register Today

The County Register is now part of a larger group and can boast of a very large database of personally interviewed and carefully vetted people across the whole of the country, so you can join in the confidence that we have access to some of the most interesting and eligible singles nationwide. The higher level matchmaking service options are still personally supervised by Heather herself who continues to be full of energy and enthusiasm for this wonderful dating institution that she has painstakingly built up over so many years. She is still available upon request to meet many clients personally and heads up probably, one of the best matchmaking teams you could ever hope to find within the United Kingdom.

Passionate About Service & Success

Heather’s passion and belief in The County Register is a joy to see, she is such a believer in the personal service that The County Register provides and the detail of the memberships that each and every client is provided with. Without a doubt here every client is a known name and treated and respected as a truly valued individual throughout their membership, In a world where this sort of highly individual and personalised service has almost completely disappeared, The County Register does its utmost to continue providing a one to one service that sets trends rather than follows them.
