marriage broker
Spouse-finding intermediary
A marriage broker is a person who arranges marriages between others, typically for a fee.
The role ranges from traditional matchmakers in cultures where families negotiate unions to modern professionals connecting people seeking spouses, sometimes across international borders: The marriage broker introduced him to several candidates from Eastern Europe.
The term can carry connotations of transactional or mercenary matchmaking.
