Classe Elites Matchmaking Agency Launches Remote Dating Service in Omaha Now offering their remote dating service in Omaha, Classe Elites Matc hmaking Agency, LLC is celebrating their opening with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on March 4 with the Greater Omaha Chamber. The event is from 4 to 7:30 p.m. at Classic Rock Coffee. Guests will have the chance to personally meet the co-founders of Classe Elites: Rayna Gochanour, Tina Beckwith, and Doug Swarts. These three individuals saw a need for a change in the dating world. As a result, Classe Elites decided to better serve their members and clients by going remote. A remote matchmaking agency means that the matchmakers don’t walk into a traditional 8-to-5 office each weekday. This provides a higher success rate with being able to work from any location. The matchmakers at Classe Elites are in front of more people and have that face-to-face interaction, staying better connected with members and clients to keep up with a fast-pace world. Today, almost everything is available at your finger tips with the press of a button, but relationships need more time and care. Classe Elites believes that when selecting your future significant other, one should never be swiping right or left as if you are sorting through a clothing rack, quickly getting pushed to the side, and leaving you feeling uninspired to want to continue the search for a partner. Classe Elites Matchmaking Agency, LLC strives to provide a personal experience while maintaining the utmost confidentiality. Their service encourages you to be yourself, to feel confident enough to look up from your phone, and engage with those in front of you. When investing in your future with Classe Elites, their team of professionals do the work for you to free up your time and take the stress away from you.
