Kieran G, May 2024
“Mairead had her work cut out for her. I had never had a relationship and having grown up in a house full of boys, I didn't really know how to speak to ladies. Mairead was patient and went through everything including what to wear, how to ask her on a second date and most of all, how to be romantic! Aoife was the third lady I met and most certainly worth the wait. I asked Aoife to marry me last week in New York and she said YES! Thank you for everything Mairead. "- Kieran G.
David T, April 2024
“My wife died from cancer 3 years ago leaving me and my two daughters, 7 and 9. I thought I would be single for the rest of my life. I heard Mairead talking on Newstalk one day and said I would chance it. She introduced me to Ellen. Ellen has changed mine and my daughters lives and has brought so much love and happiness to our home again. She was so kind and understanding throughout the process and guided me on how to introduce the girls to Ellen.”- David T
Stephanie B, May 2024
“ My dating life was a disaster despite me having a successful business and lots of friends. I just could not crack the world of dating. Until, Mairead explained how it works and what men are actually looking for in a partner.So, with a bit of tough love from Mairead, it started to make sense.Then she introduced me to Alan, told me exactly what to do and guess what... we are now 3 months married!”-Stephanie B
Alice G, Jan 2025
“Mairead, it was an absolute pleasure to meet with you today. You are just as lovely in real life as you are in your podcast. I cant believe we were wearing the same blazer too!I just wanted to say that it was such a lovely experience. Thank you for all of the advice and fingers crossed you have someone suitable but regardless, I feel more positive about dating in general."
Margaret, Jan 2025
"My husband died 3 years ago in a boating accident. My friends gently encouraged me to meet Mairead and I am so glad I have. She guided me on everything from whether I should wear my wedding rings to how to discuss my husbands passing. (I know she had given him the heads up too).Thank you so much but most of all, thank you for introducing me to Padraig. "
Lisa, Feb 2025
Mairead, thank you so much! I genuinely never thought I would ever meet someone. Thank you for all of your advice, support and most of all for introducing me to Alan. We are hoping to move in together in May and we have booked a trip to New York for St. Patrick's Day.
Aileen T, March 2025
I went to Mairead after an abusive marraige so I was nervous about dating again. Mairead got to work on matching me and sent me to Stephanie, her podcast co-host for a few sessions which really helped and prepared me for dating again.
I would highly recommend Mairead, her podcast and her matchmaking. Also, no need to be nervous. She is really lovely. - Aileen T
Anna P, March 2024
"Shane and I got engaged!!!!!!!! Mairead, I cannot thank you enough. I am so happy and we are so in love. I knew we would be getting married but honestly, I was not expecting him to propose so soon.
I have sent a few of my friends to you, they will need dates from our wedding!
From the bottom of my heart... Thank you!"
- Anna P
Daniel F, February 2024
I have been meaning to text you for months. I asked Erica to marry me and she said yes! Not only that though, we are 11 weeks pregnant with a miracle baby because Erica had previously been told that she may not be able to have kids.
I want to thank you for everything and look out, there will be a wedding invite in the post!
-Daniel F
David M, June 2025
"I had been single for nearly 10 years and honestly thought that part of my life had just passed me by. Meeting Mairead completely changed my perspective. She really took the time to understand me and what I wanted. Her advice before my first date was spot on and I felt so much more confident going in. I’m now seeing someone she introduced me to and it’s going really well. Thank you Mairead for giving me hope again."
- David M
Claire O, June 2025
"I had tried all the dating apps and found them exhausting. A friend recommended Mairead and the whole experience felt so much more personal and positive. She is warm, honest and incredibly intuitive when it comes to matching people. Even just meeting her made me feel better about dating again."
- Claire O
Susan K, August 2025
"Mairead has a real gift for what she does. She asks the right questions and somehow sees things about you that you might not see yourself. I was quite sceptical at first but after our meeting I left feeling genuinely excited about the process. I’ve already had two great introductions and both were lovely men."
- Susan K
Mark D, October 2025
"After my divorce I was very nervous about getting back into dating. Mairead made the whole process feel safe and manageable. She gave me practical advice, lots of encouragement and really listened to my concerns. My first introduction through Love HQ was a lovely experience and I’m so glad I took the leap."
- Mark D
Laura P, October 2025
"I met Mairead through her podcast first and loved her honest approach to relationships. When I finally booked in to meet her I was a bit nervous but she immediately put me at ease. She is warm, funny and incredibly insightful. I left feeling optimistic and excited about what might be ahead."
- Laura P
Conor W , December 2025
"I’m a busy professional and simply didn’t have the time or patience for endless messaging on apps. Working with Mairead felt like a completely different experience. The introductions are thoughtful and the guidance beforehand really helps. It’s dating but without all the stress."
- Conor W
Michael R, December 2025
"I joined Love HQ after turning 50 and wasn’t sure what to expect. Mairead completely changed my mindset about dating at this stage of life. She made me realise there are so many wonderful people still looking to meet someone. I’ve met a fantastic woman through her and we’re taking things one step at a time."
- Michael R
Fiona S, January 2026
"Mairead doesn’t just match people, she really prepares you for dating again. The conversations we had beforehand were so helpful and gave me a lot of clarity about what I actually wanted in a partner. I’ve recommended her to two friends already."
- Fiona S
Ailish B , February 2026
"I went to Mairead after hearing about her at my cousins wedding who she matched and now I am married to my husband because of Mairead. I could not recommend her enough and have done to many friends and colleagues. "
