Curated Dates Collective founders Hayley Hurst and Lisa Ratner - Professional Matchmakers in Calgary

Cofounders Hayley Hurst & Lisa Ratner

Two Experts. One Shared Vision.

We spent years telling our clients that they shouldn't have to "go it alone." Eventually, we decided to take our own advice.

Lisa brings the strategic backbone. With 20+ years of corporate leadership and a personal "late-bloomer" love story, she understands the high-level emotional strategy and mindset shifts required to find a life partner.

Hayley brings the modern edge. A specialist in luxury retail management and digital positioning, she is the industry's go-to for "app-to-altar" strategy-curating everything from professional aesthetics to high-end communication.

As individual founders of Lisa Ratner Matchmaking and Cohen Gray Connections, we've always shared a deep belief in compassion, active listening, and delivering an exceptional client experience.

With Curated Dates Collective, we came together to offer something more meaningful than a search - a supportive, strategic partnership that helps you feel seen, guided, and genuinely hopeful again, creating a more elevated path to finding the right person.

Our combined "corporate-honed empathy" with "high-end digital concierge" services delivers a matchmaking experience that is twice as supportive and twice as strategic.

Because we don't just find you a partner; we prove that the right partnership changes everything.
