Alright, so I normally don't use Yelp (Or anything but foursquare, actually) but with searching around on Google this seemed to pop up first when it comes to leaving feedback for Julia- So, I decided to go on in and give her what she deserves (And, a little insight for the rest)! I'm extremely picky, I mean- I had envisioned this man in my mind that was completely unrealistic and I admit I didn't know much about dating or men. (Prior relationship was extremely long term) I went in there and demanded that Julia find me a hopeless romantic, one who is ready to get on one knee with a rose in his mouth and be forever mine. Oh, and he had to be an intelligent professional who could actually afford a life traveling the world with me. Well, she gave me way more than that. I won't go into FULL details but I must say my 3 months with Julia and the dates I went on were so amazingly eye-opening and fulfilling (Of course, my last one was the best...)- I lost all sense of loneliness! And then I met my now boyfriend. (He's probably going to laugh at me for writing all of this :) ) Our first date was like a scene from a romantic comedy- we both showed up in awe at the location that was chosen for us to meet (Thanks Dee!), and then we just looked at each other and couldn't stop smiling at the fact that we both just took a huge leap and were doing something we never thought we would do, but we were both having a great time. As we made fun of ourselves, I realized on THAT exact first date that this was the man I was hoping to be mine. From that day forward we have not spent a day apart. I am so happy, this literally was the best experience of my life. I felt young again, I was excited about life and what I was going to find, I learned so much from the coaching sessions, and the adventure ended very well for me. 5 stars. read more

It happened like this. I was first introduced to my fiance during a young peoples' service at church. My sister-in-law works for Something More and offered her services to match me up! Naturally, being the outgoing bachelor I was, I was thrilled at the prospect of a new introduction. My now-fiance walked in wearing fashionably trendy attire. She was from New York City and you could tell. Being fashionably conscious myself, I wore a tie. After all, what girl doesn't love a guy in a tie? Fashion, matchmaking, and anticipation. The stage was set. Always the consummate gentleman, I saved her a seat before the service started. And what appeared by all accounts to be the start of something grand merely resulted in a very mediocre encounter. She was very attractive and thought similarly about me, however the romantic spark wasn't there. 8 months passed. We would occasionally see each other at social outings where we would exchange pleasantries but nothing beyond that. It wasn't until November of 2012 that I reached out to her. I had been recording music for the past couple weeks and needed a female vocalist. I had come to find that she had a background in professional music and thought I'd see if she wanted to collaborate. What was meant only to be a platonic jam session quickly grew into a blossoming romance. That was the start of our courtship. 6 months later, on the stern of a boat, I asked for her hand in marriage. She said yes! Looking back on it, I've no doubt that it was a timing thing and Something More played an instrumental role. My fiance and I were both at different places when we first met and neither of our hearts were ready for each others. I suppose that's the beautiful thing about our faith. God's plan is perfect. And as we dance through this world together, He will always keep perfect time. read more

Dont waste your money!! I got into "Something More" with high hopes, but I must say I was very disappointed very fast. They do tell you those who pay $6,000 (VIP) are the ones they work for; while the ones paying $450 arent guaranteed a match and are basically the dates for the VIP clients; but they dont match people in the lower rate at all. Wouldnt it be good for business matching more people?? Coordinating more dates (between those in the lower rate) and having more possibilities of successful stories?? Well, they dont believe in that!! They just believe in collecting the $450 from people who are willing to do anything to find love, and leaving them waiting for eternity because they dont care for you and what you are looking for. I trusted them when they said they had a big list of clients to match me with, but now Im sure that is not true. In response to Julia's (owner) comment; I am sure that many of your clients are truly ready to find love- emotionally, intellectually and physically; but in my experience the matchmaking was off!! There was no thought in the dates; they just put together what they had at the moment. If the dates arent matched on both parties requirements, there is no way they can work out. I do think this could be a great business if they really believed in matching people for love and not for money. read more

Two years after my divorce, I was ready to find a special man in my life. But how? I was working full time in a demanding job and raising four young children. I tried on-line dating and found it to be time consuming and non productive. I found Something More through a Google search. I met with Julia a couple weeks later and after a 3 hour personal interview with her, I was on my way to meeting a very attractive, successful and interesting man. This relationship lasted 7 months but ultimately wasn't what I was looking for. Julia set me up again with a very attractive, successful and interesting man. Six months later, we are in a wonderful and committed relationship. He is a perfect partner for me and I am incredibly happy and fulfilled. I know for a fact, without Julia, the chances of us finding this true love with each other would have been slim. So single people out there looking for the right person (not just a date), I encourage you to give Something More a chance. It's a short cut to the right person. Julia and Deanna are very knowledgeable, personable, professional, well-connected, intuitive, caring, communicative, trust-worthy and discreet and make the whole experience actually fun. I cannot give a higher recommendation to any company. It was one of the best decisions I ever made. read more

I joined Something More based on a recommendation from a friend and truly enjoyed the experience. I think it was helpful to get dating tips, even though you may not want to hear them at times, but hey, sometimes we all need an outside opinion to take that extra push to "reinvent" ourselves and to become more attractive to the opposite sex! It was also great to have people like Julia and Deanna available to ask questions like, what should I wear, where should we go, what should we talk about, especially for anyone a little out of practice. I also enjoyed the fact that I had a professional screening dates for me, instead of trolling a million dating sites and sending emails all day long. This meant less time on the computer and more time actually talking to pre-qualified, high quality, professionals with similar interests and goals. Julia also held a mixer which I attended. At first, I was a nervous to attend, but I wound up having a great time and the whole event was done in a classy, and low pressure environment. I am now dating someone special I met through this service and would recommend Julia and Something More to anyone interested in finding someone here in Austin! read more

Wow! Where do I even begin? At first I was super hesitant to try matchmaking, but these three beautiful women went above and beyond to make this experience incomparable to anything else and makes internet dating a complete waste of time! Why do the searching yourself when Julia, Deanna and Krissy will do it for you? They truly strive to get to know each of their clients on a more personal level, and not just in black and white, making the matches more than just a carbon copy of each other. After reading a couple, and let's be serious, there's only "a couple", negative reviews, it really makes it obvious why they needed a matchmaker. ;-P It's so key to not be closed-minded in this type of atmosphere. You never know what you miss out on if you aren't going into these dates with an open mind. I trust the ladies at Something More to only have quality people as clients, so that means I will only be set up with quality people! So yeah, Something More definitely is worth trying, at least go for a consult, you will see for yourself! Oh yeah! And Deanna is also my personal fashion consultant and THANK THE GOOD LORD ABOVE that she is! Have you seen her?! read more

Something More is exactly that...something more than your typical dating expectations. I've tried online dating on and off a few times and never really had much success. I continued to see the same guys on each site and a lot of their profiles were very similar. Nothing stood out and I was in a cycle of boring, interview-type dates. As a young, single professional in an amazing city, Something More goes far beyond online dating or trying to meet someone at a bar. They really take the time to get to know you, learn your likes/dislikes, and find quality guys who line up with your expectations. Online dating can be very misleading (and sometimes scary for a girl), so knowing that the ladies at Something More have gone above and beyond to screen these guys is very reassuring in the dating process. You get what you pay for! Deanna was extremely organized with setting up the date. She helped me decide what to wear, organized the time and location, notified me what my date was wearing, and was thorough with following through the next day to see how it went! I highly recommend Something More if you're wanting caliber guys and valuable relationships. read more

I have known and been a client of Julia's for about two years. I knew it would be tough for me, a business owner (and an introverted one at that) with no time to work on a social life, to find someone to call my love. From the beginning, Julia and I had to develop our own working relationship so that she could begin to find potential matches for dates. I had very specific criteria which Julia knew and understood as she went to work on my behalf. To make the relationship with Julia work I was honest about what I wanted, and I was honest about what I liked or didn't like about the dates I went on. Along the way we had our ups and downs, but I was committed (1) to working with Julia, (2) to trying my best to be a good client for her, and (3) to being a good date for the women I met. A few months ago, Julia set up a date for me. I met my date at a restaurant, we had a great dinner and enjoyed fun conversation well into the evening. When my date and I parted and said our goodbyes, I walked away thinking to myself, "This one is special." Turns out she is. Yes, it took two years but in the end Julia found the perfect match for me. read more

I had a great experience with Something More. The women I met through this service were all around high quality, beautiful and intelligent. With Something More, I knew exactly what I was getting with every match and after a description, I had to agree to meeting her in the first place. It's nice going into a date knowing I didn't need to ask about her values, beliefs and interests. I learned a lot about myself through this journey. It helped me mold the person I wanted to be with and made me realize I didn't need everything I thought I did in a women. We all have this ideal vision (Olivia Wilde) in our heads, but what I've learned is beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I met someone special during my time at Something More, and I haven't been this happy in awhile. I see her in my future and hope things turn out as planned. For someone who works as hard as me, time is the most important factor. The ladies at Something More found exactly what I was looking for, and I didn't have to go to the bar to find her. They did their job and they did it well. Thanks a million, ladies! read more

I met with Julia the first time and I did like her, she seemed to be experienced and good at her business asking me pertinent questions about what I was looking for. After being somewhat pressured to sign up then and there I paid the high fee. After the first meeting I never had contact with her again and was set up on the dates by Deanna. All contact and matches went through her at this point. I went on several dates and they were all total misfits, men I would never be attracted to or even think of dating having met socially. What we discussed up front and what I was looking for in a mate and the caliber of men I was describing never appeared even after several more discussions. I have to assume that the higher fees a client pays the higher caliber of the dating pool which is totally unfair to any client paying for the service as it is very pricey at any level. I was very anxious about continuing the dates and got to the point of dreading them. This did not pan out for me disappointingly so. It may be ok for others but beware of what is presented and what you get! read more

I found Julia's website online and liked what I read. I was cautions after trying the world of online dating. We emailed a few times and then started having phone conversations sometimes lasting until 11pm!! Julia has always been great to talk to about dating, relationships, or anything. Finally, I decided to come in an meet Julia face to face and joint the team. The whole staff made the process fun. Julia is well connected in Austin and beyond and has a large client base of high quality screened people that are looking for what you are looking for. Julia is very passionate about finding your perfect match!! She is constantly asking questions about what your looking for or not looking for. Its important to be honest with her and your self about this and "communicate" often. They cant find your perfect match if you dont tell them what that is. I found the service to be amazing, customized to me and committed to finding my perfect match. Thanks to the efforts of Juila and her team, I have found the woman of my dreams and we couldn't be happier!!! read more

I recently moved from Houston to Austin and I finally decided to give matchmaking a try after many years of unsuccessful dates. I was very skeptical at first because I am the type of guy that likes to maintain a private life. However, I decided to give it a go and meet with Julia. She was very honest about her work and I absolutely loved that. In the past I had tried dating through larger matchmaking companies but I never got anywhere with them. What I really loved about her service was that you do not have to go through 20 something people to get an answer. It is very personal, honest, and genuine. I have no problem meeting people on my own, but hiring Julia was a great decision because she was able to match me with a woman with substance. Austin is a big city and I don't think that I would have found the girl that I am currently dating without her help. I was never really pressured into anything and I really liked that. Also, because I work for a popular company, I wanted my information to be confidential and she made it really easy for that to happen. read more

Completely nervous and didn't know what to expect I was pleasantly surprised how sweet and helpful Deanna and Krissy were when I got to Something More.... Then I got to meet Julia. Julia is a fireball of a woman who knows exactly what she is doing. We spent hours talking about myself, past relationships and what I wanted. She asked me things that I didn't even think to ask myself when I had been doing the online dating thing. I went out on my first few dates and they were nice, good looking and respectful but not quite a perfect match...yet. My last date first date was amazing. We have been dating for 5 months now and things are progressing extremely well and I can honestly say I am head over heels for this man. Julia knew me better than I knew myself and I couldn't be happier with the results!! After online "dating" (if you can really call it that) for about 3 years I am so glad I took the leap and called a professional. I am recommending Something More to my single friends and am looking forward to what the future holds!! THANKS JULIA!!!!! read more

I've had an amazing experience working with Julia.  I shopped around, and I could tell right away that she was truly invested in helping me on my journey. From my initial consultation, she truly took the time to get to know who I was, met me where I was in my life, highlighted areas for improvement, and supported me where I needed it.  I appreciate her candor, no-nonsense practical approach, and support for the Austin singles community as a whole, which has included published advice and curated singles events I've attended myself. She has been proactive in both our communications and implementing my feedback. Julia also has an extensive support network, which has provided invaluable assistance for my personal growth. I entered this experience apprehensive due to previous negative experiences with other matchmaking services. I can say with confidence that "Something More" will go beyond the call of duty for you. It will not be effortless. You will be expected to be open-minded and put in work, but Julia and her team will be your greatest ally. read more

I heard about Julia and her matchmaking services through a friend right after my divorce. I wasn't that interested because I've never had trouble getting a date and there's always the online dating world, right?? Wrong! I found online dating to be a full time job and a hook-up scene, not to mention the outdated pictures and lies. I googled one online date and his mug shot came up! That's when I called Julia. The people who use Julia's services are serious about wanting a relationship. The best part is that Julia does all the work for you ... from the background checks to arranging the date. All you do is show up! And she takes care of the awkward "Follow Up" the next day if you aren't interested!! Even though there wasn't chemistry with a few of of the men she selected, they were great guys and we had a blast. Overall, quality men. As Julia says, "you can't predict chemistry". However, I happen to have chemistry with her most current selection for me and so far, so good! Looking forward to seeing what happens! read more

Signing up with Something More has been one of the best decision of my life. I am a successful man, with a very busy schedule. Their screening process REALLY works. Julia was able to vet women on a completely different level that I what I was doing before. She goes deeper than just matching up on paper, she builds a real relationship with her clients. I felt like I was being set up by my younger sister, or a good friend. And that is key here. Reading some of these negative reviews made me wonder if these women ever let Julia go deeper with them... It doesn't sound like they did and could be why they were unsuccessful. I am writing this to let you know YOU WILL BE SUCESSFUL in this process if you open up. This is more than just a service, it's a vehicle to the rest of your life with someone. After 3 months of service, Julia and her team introduced me to my now current girlfriend (and possibly future fiancé). I could not be more happier. Highly recommend their service to anyone who is wanting to find Something More. read more

Getting back into the dating game is tough and the apps weren't providing suitable matches. So I was skeptical when I signed up for my associate database membership at Something More. However, within a few weeks, I was provided a biography for a much higher caliber man than anyone I'd seen on the apps. Sarah walked me through each step of the process, coordinated the first date, and was even on call for the evening, which happened to be on a holiday. There was a real connection, so per their instruction shared feedback, resulting in a match. We've now been in a committed relationship for four months and I couldn't be happier. The entire experience was professional, and their service connected me with a true gentleman with similar values in search of a long-term relationship, who I would have never met in my own social circle. I feel I owe Julia and Sarah quite a bit and would highly recommend their service to others looking for love. read more

I didn't get to meet Julia, but her #2, Sarah, was lovely--open, engaging, and completely nonjudgmental. I interviewed multiple matchmaking services, and this was the only one that required an in-person meeting. Was it more cumbersome? Yes. Was it worth it? In my opinion, absolutely, if you're serious about finding the right match. As a single mom, I have some very specific requirements. What impressed me most was that they wanted to determine whether they could realistically find compatible matches for me before asking me to sign a full contract. In an industry where it would be easy to simply take a client's money and make promises, that stood out. It gave me the sense that they're focused on finding good matches, not just signing new clients. I'm hopeful it works out, but even if it doesn't, I'd still recommend them based on the integrity and professionalism they've shown throughout the process. read more

I met the owner of Something More, Julia McCurley, through a mutual client of ours. He had nothing but good things to say about his expierence and I was amazed at the quality of women he was matched up with by her. I have referred several other of my clients to her and they have reported back to me how much she has helped them on their journey to finding love. She also gives great advice and I have learned alot from her on do's and don'ts in the dating world. Also, Julia's clientele are not the kinds of people you would ever find on dating apps. She specializes in helping executives find what they are looking for in a professional and caring manner. I would highly recommend her and her company Something More to anyone who is ready to take a more targeted approach to finding love. read more
