You tell us who you're looking for. We go find them.
Traditional matchmaking limits your search to the people already in a database. We don’t. Every search begins with our Devereaux Five-Star Standard™—because before we can find the right person, we have to know exactly who we’re looking for.

Traditional matchmaking limits your search to the people already in a database. We don’t. We define who you’re looking for, then conduct a private, targeted search to find them.
A Different Way to Search for a Relationship
Traditional matchmaking companies begin with their database.
We begin with you.
We take the time to understand who you're looking for, then conduct a private, targeted search — within our network and beyond it.
The Network You Once Had Has Changed.
Meeting someone used to happen naturally.
Friends introduced friends. Social circles expanded. There were always new people entering your life.
Meeting someone new didn't require much thought. It was simply part of living your life.
Then something changed. Life became more established.
Careers became more demanding. Friends married. Routines became more predictable.
Then:
The introductions and chance encounters that once happened naturally became less frequent.”
What once happened almost effortlessly started requiring effort.
And the usual alternatives haven't solved it.
So you stay open to meeting someone through work, friends, church, the gym, an event—or maybe even standing in line at the grocery store.
And sometimes it happens.
But relying on chance isn't much of a strategy.
And then there are the dating apps.
More profiles. More choices. More ways to connect than ever before. Yet more isn't always better.
When genuine possibilities are buried beneath endless profiles, mismatched intentions, questionable authenticity, and people looking for very different things, choice becomes noise.
You don't need more people to sort through. You need a better way to meet the right ones.
Your World Has Boundaries. Our Search Doesn't.
The person you're looking for may be twenty minutes away—and there may be nothing in your everyday life that would ever cause your paths to cross. That's where private search changes the equation.
We Search Beyond Your Everyday World.
You already have a life, a routine and a network. Our job isn’t to tell you to attend more events or spend more time on dating apps.
Our job is to search beyond the circles you already move in.
Devereaux Lewis actively looks across professional communities, social networks, referrals, events, clubs, fitness and wellness communities, cultural circles and other places where the kind of person you’re looking for may actually be found.
We don’t wait for the right person to enter your world. We go looking for them.
Every Search Begins With You. Using The Devereaux Five-Star Standard™
Before we search for anyone, we first need to understand what the right person looks like for you.
Through our Devereaux Five-Star Standard™, we go beyond a list of preferences to understand the physical attraction, character, lifestyle, relationship dynamics and future you want to share with someone.
That allows us to separate what truly matters from what is simply preferred—and establish a clear standard for the people we pursue on your behalf.
Because finding someone isn’t the objective. Finding someone who’s right for you is.
Now We Go Find Them.
Once we know who we’re looking for, the search begins.
We search throughout Washington, D.C., Northern Virginia and the surrounding communities—across professional circles, social communities, neighborhoods, referrals, digital platforms and our own network—to identify people you would be unlikely to encounter on your own.
And because we’re based here, we understand the communities, geography and social landscape that make this market unique.
We don’t wait for the right person to find us.
We go looking for them.
We create the intersection.
Your world has boundaries. So does theirs.
Our job is to create the opportunity for two people whose paths might otherwise never cross to finally meet.
We handle the search, recruiting, screening and introduction. From there, something much more personal gets the chance to begin.
We’re not obsessed with how many introductions we can make.
We’re obsessed with finding the person who requires no more introductions.
EXPERIENCE MATTERS WHEN THE SEARCH IS PERSONAL.
Dannie Lewis~Founder
For more than two decades, Dannie Lewis has worked directly with accomplished men and women searching for meaningful relationships.
That experience has come from thousands of candid conversations about attraction, expectations, compatibility—and what people actually want in a partner.
Dannie also brings a distinctly male perspective to the search. For men, that means attraction isn't treated as something superficial or inconvenient.
For women, it can mean hearing a candid male perspective on dating and relationships that they may not have heard before.
Because compatibility without attraction isn't a match. And attraction without substance isn't a relationship.
Devereaux Lewis searches for both.
