Beyond the app — the matchmaking practice & IRL community
Velvet Ties
Curated connections for people who refuse to leave love, friendship, or their social life to chance.
Daniella Guimaraes started Velvet Ties because she was tired of watching incredible people settle — for bad dates, dead-end social circles, and brands that didn't match their ambition. What began as curated dinners in New York became a global operation: bespoke matchmaking, a vetted private community, and consulting for brands that want to build rooms worth being in. NYC and Miami are home base. Tuscany, St. Tropez, Croatia, Ibiza, and Brazil are where the stories happen.
Matchmaking
Bespoke introductions for people who are serious about finding their person. Daniella's matchmaking workflow, now supported by a private member app.
Community
A vetted private community of interesting, ambitious people. Local meetups, curated introductions, and real accountability.
Consulting
Brand strategy, event production, and Instagram overhauls for communities and lifestyle brands ready to be taken seriously.
Less swiping, less waiting, more meeting.
