Sherri Murphy
Owner and founder
(310) 459-2612
(818) 402-4444
Sherri Murphy is the founder of Elite Connections and
recently opened two new offices In Pacific Palisades and Westlake Village.
Originally from New Mexico
she has that friendly southwestern attitude and is a natural people person.
Sherri finds the job of introducing single people a fun one and has done it
all her life. Her philosophy is that there is someone out there for everyone,
but you won't find them while sitting at home. You have to be proactive and
believes that if you are not meeting the type of person you are looking for,
you need to have an open mind and try something different. Her style of matchmaking
has worked for many Elite clients! She works with many VIP and international
clients. She's the Westside connection, as a majority of her clients live or
work on the Westside.
She has hired a dedicated staff, including a dating coach, an image
consultant, stylist, a personal fitness trainer and three psychologists-all
at the client's disposal, free of charge, just for the asking. Sherri
believes there is more to helping people meet their mate than just
introducing them to new people.
Sherri moved to Southern California from Mammoth
in 1976, sold real estate for over 13 years and walked into the
matchmaking business by sheer fate. In 1994, someone offered her a
membership to Great Expectations but she declined. She later met her
husband Bill through a personal matchmaker, Sherri bought into the
business that matched them. After two years as a partner in that
company, Sherri launched her own company and relocated her Elite
Connections office to Beverly Hills
in 1996.
Elite Connections has been featured on NBC's "Life Moments",
The New York Times, Variety, Westlake Magazine, "Successful
Singles Magazine", "Love Works" TV Show, "Love
On The Edge" radio talk show and many local newspapers. Sherri
is coauthor of "Matters Of The Heart", a popular dating
advice column that has been published in a South Bay newspaper for
over five years. Sherri says her biggest satisfaction is to see people
happy together, and engagements and marriages make it even more rewarding
(see Elite's latest weddings)!

as a client and then as a staff member. In her first month on the job, she
met her own match in prospective client Ken Roberts. They married in 1995,
and Keri remained dedicated to the company that helped her and dozens of other
couples find true love.
With her wide scope of contacts, natural knack for networking and genuine
passion for guiding people toward their ideal relationship, Keri has
introduced the
concept of personal matchmaking to hundreds of Los Angeles men and women who
swore they would never resort to such a "contrived and desperate" approach.

Southern California, Lisa graduated from Northridge University with a

became a certified paralegal and began working for a Century City
international law firm for commercial real estate, dealing with
property developers from Japan, UK and Australia.
After many years of working in the legal field, a friend suggested she
apply her “people person” skills elsewhere. She transitioned her
career when she was hired as a matchmaker at a high-end matching
company several years ago. A natural born matchmaker, Lisa brings with
her many years of experience in the matchmaking industry. She found
herself in the position of being friend, confidante, and relationship
counselor to men and women across the country. As one of Elite
Connections newest matchmakers she’s finally found her niche and feels
matchmaking is the best fit for her. As a Southern California native,
she believes that many singles are tired of online dating sites and
uneventful bar scenes. With so many people busy with their careers and
families, it only makes sense that a matchmaking agency with qualified
matchmakers is the best way for men and women to be introduced to that
“special someone”. With that belief in hand, she joined the Elite
Connections team and is already successfully introducing clients.
