About Us
Our Vision
To be the world’s most effective dating service that connects eligible singles in a caring, comfortable and convenient manner.
Lunch Actually is the pioneer dating company in Asia. Brainchild of co-founder Violet Lim, lawyer turned banker turned matchmakers, she’s inspired to help single professionals find love over a simple lunch date. Together with her husband, Jamie Lee, they launched Lunch Actually in Singapore in 2004. Subsequently, the service expanded to Malaysia, Hong Kong, Indonesia and Thailand..
Lunch Actually’s clients are eligible professionals who are successful in their career. They are serious in finding their soulmate and they have tried different ways to make that happen. However, they wish that someone could share with them where they have potentially gone wrong. Lunch Actually is passionate about helping singles find love and happiness by working alongside them in navigating today’s complicated dating scene and finding the right one.
