Ashley Tedesco
Hi, I'm Ashley.
As a certified matchmaker and dating coach in Michigan, my mission is simple: to help Christian singles who are serious about their faith, and serious about dating, find and build relationships that last. In a world of fast-paced dating apps and fleeting connections, I believe there’s a better way to meet someone who shares your values.
Simply Referred is more than a matchmaking service—it's a community centered on building meaningful relationships. As founder and sole matchmaker, I know first-hand the challenges of finding someone with aligned values and beliefs.
Through strong connections with local churches and trusted networks, I tap into a vast community of high-quality matches for our members. With over ten years in talent development and coaching, plus training in science-based relationship strategies, I'm here to help you find someone who's compatible and committed.
We focus on personal referrals and community connections to introduce you to the very best matches. In fact, many of our members say these have been the highest-quality dates they've ever had.
If you or someone you know is tired of endless swiping and disappointing dates, Simply Referred is here to come alongside you towards your last first date.
Love is out there - let's find it together!
My Story
For as long as I can remember, I’ve loved love. Growing up surrounded by flourishing marriages, starting with my parents who have been together for 48 years, instilled in me a deep appreciation for love. Despite facing challenges in my own journey, I've learned invaluable lessons about faith and shared values through failed relationships and significant heartbreak. Realizing the myth of soulmates or one perfect person, I discovered that aligned faith is the cornerstone of healthy relationships, motivating me to assist others on their journey.
After what seemed like a lifetime, I finally got to marry my God-centered man in 2022 and founded Simply Referred to help those facing similar challenges. With certifications from the Global Love Institute and extensive corporate HR coaching experience, I'm committed to guiding Christians toward quality, enduring relationships.
As a Christian woman, I believe in the importance of putting God first and loving others well. My lifelong love affair with love has shaped me into a compassionate and perceptive matchmaker and dating coach, dedicated to helping others find joy in love's pursuit.

Simply Referred, my aim is to positively impact the lives of my members, guiding them towards healthy, long-lasting relationships.
