ANTHONY CANAPI

Known in the Matchmaking Industry as, “California’s Gay Matchmaker”, Anthony Canapi is a Celebrity Gay Matchmaker, Dating Expert, and Founder of Best Man Matchmaking, a boutique, old-school LGBTQ+ owned matchmaking company for Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer+ Singles who are seeking a long-term, committed relationship. With his first successful match at 16 years old, Anthony has connected more than 2000+ professional singles for the past 9 years. Utlizing a tailor made, matchmaking model with his background in extensive coaching, Anthony discovered that all of his  LGBTQ+ matchmaking and coaching clients had one commonality blocking them from authentic dating: developing personal trauma based on a reaction, insecurity, and/or intolerance regardless of when or how they came to their sexuality and whether or not it was a positive or negative experience. Anthony found that not only does this obscure their dating progression, it negatively affects how they live their everyday lives. Anthony brings a holistic, personalized analysis when it comes to coaching his clients and brings empowerment, empathy, love, and happiness to everyone he works with; with many successful client love stories and handful of engagements & marriages under his belt.
