A verified online dating platform for adults
Many people looking for a dating site or dating website want to know who they are really talking to. Velvet Haven is an adults-only dating and social membership where every member has applied, completed government-ID age and identity verification, and been approved by our review team.
If you have been searching for an online matchmaking site or matchmaking platform, note that Velvet Haven is self-directed: there is no personal matchmaker or automated matching, and no matches are promised. Verified members browse approved profiles and choose who to send interest to.
Membership requires a completed application, independent government-ID age and identity verification, a profile photo, and approval by our review team.
$25/month — recurring monthly membership. Cancel anytime.
