I highly recommend this service. Kamila was consistently attentive and checked in regularly to ensure I was meeting the right people. After six months of her dedicated support, I found my match in Farhan. Our families are meeting this week, and we are happily planning our wedding for late June. Thank you for helping me find my person!

Married in 7 months
“Within a month of signing up, I was introduced to my now-husband, and within 7 months, I was married.”
Read the full story
I highly recommend BeyondChai. Don’t judge it by the name! I am not super active in my community and wasn’t finding anyone searching on my own, both in my community or online. I made dua for Allah to send me someone who could bring potential matches to me, instead of me searching on my own, because honestly, it was exhausting. I found Beyond Chai almost right away after making that dua and it suited my needs perfectly. I was paired with Kamila as my matchmaker (she’s amazing and kind btw) and she was able to find me someone who had such a similar profile to mine and whose interests seemed to match perfectly with mine. The whole process went very quickly for me alhamdulillah. Within a month of signing up, I was introduced to my now-husband, and within 7 months, I was married. My entire journey has been a long one, about 2 years. I wish I had known about this sooner, but Allah is the best of planners. Because there’s a substantial membership price, you know the people who are on here are serious about marriage and won’t waste your time. And having a mentor to talk you through your interactions and give genuine advice and guidance is invaluable in itself. It’s a wonderful service, I wish more people knew about it. If you’re serious about getting married and don’t want to go through the struggle of wading through people who have nothing in common with you other than being single, invest in this service, be open-minded, and make dua that Allah bless you with your perfect match. May Allah bless you in your journey!

“Kamila was my matchmaker and she was very patient, thoughtful, and an excellent listener.”

Beyond Chai takes the guesswork out of finding compatible prospects. They tailor and personalize matches to your profile and requirements. The matchmakers are excellent at guiding and also making you think and realize what you want to look for in a partner. The service is professional, easy to use, and worth the investment. Kamila was my matchmaker and she was very patient, thoughtful, and an excellent listener. All the prospective matches she brought were good people. Kamila was attentive, present, and continually checked on me and the progress with the prospective matches. Kamila was very supportive, as the process of finding a partner can be exhausting and requires a lot of effort. However, the effort I placed was rewarded, and Kamila was there with me every step of the way. I would recommend Beyond Chai to anyone looking to get married and only wanting to meet individuals that are as serious and committed to getting married as you.

For years, I have tried and have been frustrated with the traditional rishta process. When I heard about Beyond Chai, I wasn’t sure how it would go. But it is 100% worth it! My matchmaker worked with me, supported me, and heard me. For any Muslim who wants to find the right spouse for them, Beyond Chai is a great option. I met my husband-to-be, alhamdulillah.

Sound advice
“Sharifa was the means by which Allah brought me to my future husband, masha’Allah.”
Read the full story
Sister Sharifa really went out of her way to help me find the perfect match. She interviewed me during the initial consultation, and through a few conversations got to know my personality and understood exactly what I’ve been looking for. She was also helpful with not only introducing me to prospects but also providing sound advice as to what to look for in a potential match. I found her services to be very helpful, and cannot be grateful enough for her guidance and support. Sharifa was the means by which Allah brought me to my future husband, masha’Allah. I pray Allah rewards her immensely for her services to our community.

The first introduction
“I don’t know how she did it, but the first person she introduced me to was it for me!”
Read the full story
My one piece of advice if you feel hesitant about matchmaking services is to at least try Beyond Chai and talk with one of their consultants. I can understand the hesitation, since other matchmaking avenues may not have been a good experience in the past, perhaps through other websites or through family and friends. I worked with Aasia; she is very thoughtful and made me feel at ease. I don’t know how she did it, but the first person she introduced me to was it for me! It feels like I’ve found my best friend and partner in life, and we are planning to get married next spring, in sha Allah. I am so thankful to have had this experience and recommend BeyondChai with full confidence.

Nikah next week
“With my nikah coming up next week, I truly feel lucky to have worked with someone who was looking out for my best interest.”
Read the full story
My first conversation with my matchmaker, Afsoon, made the process feel like it was tailored to my personality and what I was looking for in a spouse. The process was not simply being sent matches but a dialogue about what I’m looking for and what would be best for me. My matchmaker’s genuine and honest advice was so important in providing new perspectives and helping me along the way. I trusted Afsoon’s judgement when she came to me with a match that she found through a personal network and vouched for, easing my nerves immediately. With my nikah coming up in the next week, I truly feel lucky to have worked with someone who was looking out for my best interest. She reassured me that when I finally found the one, the whole process would be worth it, and alhamdulillah, she was right!

Getting engaged soon
“She emphasized quality of matches over quantity, and she was incredibly patient with me.”

I first found out about BeyondChai from some family members. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but the idea of someone else finding matches based on my preferences was appealing. So I signed up, not expecting much, and was pleasantly surprised at how dedicated my matchmaker Afsoon was. She emphasized quality of matches over quantity, which was nice to hear, and she was incredibly patient with me as my residency made my schedule hectic. When I was ready, I decided to pursue one of her suggestions, and it worked out great alhamdulillah! We’re getting engaged soon, and it’s all thanks to Allah sending Afsoon my way. Many thanks to the BeyondChai team!

with Saman
Found her fiancé
“I was able to find the other half of my deen because Saman and her team took the wheel.”
Read the full story
Beyond Chai surpasses all the stereotypes of meeting someone the non-traditional way. It’s not online dating. Actually, it wasn’t any form of dating. It went back to the simple halal act of a community member connecting me to people that fit my parameters for marriage: not my parents’, not the aunts’ and uncles’ in my community, but my very own standards for a spouse. Sure, I was skeptical of the process, but I took comfort in the fact that Saman was an active member of the Muslim community outside of Beyond Chai, which told me she was diverse in her experience with people. She used her experience to prepare me and lead me to my fiancé. Alhamdulillah, I was able to find the other half of my deen because Saman and her expert team took the wheel while I sat in the back seat tending to the many other moving pieces of my life. JazakAllah, Saman!

Pre-marital coaching online
“We wanted guidance on serious conversations from a trained Muslim counselor. It was extremely helpful.”
Read the full story
BeyondChai can be very useful even when you’re already engaged, because it provides pre-marital counseling online. My husband and I were living on opposite coasts before we got married. We wanted pre-marital counseling but couldn’t find any other affordable options to do that online. As soon as we signed up, BeyondChai paired us with a Muslim counselor who was very flexible with our schedules. She tailored the conversations to our needs and gave us good examples and questions to discuss. It was extremely helpful! I’ve been recommending BeyondChai to friends who are looking for pre-marital counseling, especially those in long-distance relationships.

No nonsense, no fake profiles
“It took a lot of stress off my shoulders to know that somebody was thinking about my best interests.”
Read the full story
As a woman in my late thirties, I found it difficult to find quality matches on dating websites or make meaningful connections at singles events. Beyond Chai is a fantastic matchmaking service for Muslims. They spoke with me and took a sincere interest in getting to know my personality and my preferences. They worked diligently to find matches that would suit me and were always open to any kind of feedback. Beyond Chai is a particularly great service for people who don’t have time for the nonsense that comes with fake profiles and dishonest people online. They deal only with people who are serious about getting married. It took a lot of stress off my shoulders to know that somebody was thinking about my best interests and preferences, so that I did not have to do the search alone. I highly recommend this service to men and women alike.

Phenomenal service
“Whether it was talking to families on my behalf or checking in on how matches were progressing, she always went above and beyond.”
Read the full story
I was truly impressed with the matchmaking service from Sadia at Beyond Chai. During our first consultation call she mentioned that we were a “team”. While initially I did not understand exactly what that meant, over the course of my membership I saw how much she advocated for and supported me. Whether it was talking to families on my behalf, being available for calls at short notice, providing feedback and guidance, or checking in to let me know how matches were progressing, she always went above and beyond. I got the sense that she genuinely cared about my experience and made sure my matches progressed in the best way possible. This kind of personal service sets Beyond Chai apart from other matrimonial services.

Patience, never pressure

Khadija, my matchmaker, has been amazingly supportive throughout the entire process from day one. Since I joined, I never once felt like I was being judged for rejecting a profile, or pressured into accepting one. She completely understands and values all of my specific preferences, and even emails me for approval on certain qualities before sending me a profile. I also get updates whenever she is working on a potential match for me. She remains professional and also very personable with each encounter. We can easily share and discuss any opinions on a match, just as I would with a friend. It definitely isn’t an easy task to find matches, especially for a very picky person. Yet Khadija continues to deliver with patience, and I trust her as my matchmaker.

She has become both a mentor and a friend, and has been an amazing guide along this journey.

Working with Sadia at BeyondChai has been an awesome experience. As a matchmaker, she goes above and beyond to understand what I want and make sure I get quality matches. Sadia felt I could benefit from an updated set of pictures for my profile. Instead of just suggesting that I submit new pictures, she offered to meet up and take them herself, and advised me throughout on hairstyles, outfits, accessories, poses and lighting. Those are tips that will help me in the future too. I can’t imagine anyone doing more, or going further out of their way to invest in their client, than Sadia has done.

I had never spoken with an image consultant before and had no idea what to expect. I highly recommend this service to anyone searching for a spouse, because she helps you understand how to show up as your brightest and best self. She makes you feel at ease, is a great listener, and it’s clear that she really cares about helping you. We spoke about the colors that bring out my features, how to communicate effectively, and how to let my best self shine through. She also sends personalized recommendations after the consultation. After speaking with her, I feel more positive and confident that I can show up fully when meeting potential matches.

Instilling confidence
“She helped me see that my doubts and fears were the real blocks.”
Read the full story
I had the pleasure of working with Saima for a number of consulting sessions and I cannot recommend her enough! In the beginning, I did not think I needed image consulting, because I am a professional woman who always gets compliments on my appearance. Was I wrong! Saima goes way beyond physical appearance to help her clients understand the energy they give off through conscious and unconscious beliefs. I found that I was doubting my chances of finding a compatible partner who could meet me on every level: intellectual, spiritual, emotional and physical. Saima helped me see that my doubts and fears were the real blocks, so that I would no longer come across as uninterested, timid or intimidating, but would shine as my true self. I recommend her to any women or men who are serious about finding their spouse.
