Questions
Answered directly.
Including the ones people are too polite to ask, which are usually the ones that matter.
- Is this an escort service?
- No. This is company for an evening — never sexual, never romantic. That is not a matter of discretion or interpretation, it is simply what the service is, and it is written plainly into the terms rather than tucked into a footnote.
- Is this a dating or matchmaking service?
- No. There is no matching, no roster, no profiles to browse and no romantic intention on either side. You have an invitation and would rather not attend alone; that is the entire premise.
- Who actually attends with me?
- The founder, personally, in every accepted engagement. There is no roster and no substitution. If he is unavailable on your date, the answer is that the date is unavailable — not that someone else will come instead.
- Why is the complete profile private?
- Because a service this personal should not have a browsable public catalogue of a person. Behind the verification you will find his full name, current photographs, a short introduction, verifiable credentials and how he approaches an occasion. The Foundation he chairs publishes its leadership openly, so this is controlled presentation rather than anonymity, and the site does not pretend otherwise.
- What happens after I give you my email?
- You receive a single link that opens the private profile and the full pricing. That is all. You are not added to a mailing list, you will not receive marketing, and nothing further happens unless you ask it to.
- Will I be added to a mailing list?
- No. Foundation news and any other communication require a separate, explicit opt-in that is never pre-ticked. Verifying your email does not consent you to anything beyond the messages about your own request.
- What kinds of events are accepted?
- Weddings and wedding weekends, galas and benefits, corporate and professional functions, award ceremonies, reunions, cultural and theatre evenings, formal dinners, holiday parties, milestone celebrations, and hosted destination occasions. What they share is a real, verifiable event with a host and a venue.
- Can I introduce him as my boyfriend or fiancé?
- No. The agreed introduction may be a friend, a guest, or simply your plus-one — and that is genuinely enough for almost every room. What is not available is a fabricated biography or a false romantic, marital or professional history, because that asks him to deceive people who have done nothing wrong.
- Is physical contact expected?
- Ordinary social contact only: an arm offered at an entrance, a hand at the small of the back through a crowded room, dancing where you are both comfortable. Nothing intimate, ever, and nothing you have not indicated you want.
- Is the payment tax-deductible?
- The Foundation treats the professional fee as payment for services and will not issue a charitable-contribution acknowledgment for that fee. Individual tax treatment may vary; consult your tax adviser. A separate gift, for which you receive no additional benefit, is processed and acknowledged separately.
- Why does The Legacy Foundation appear on my card statement?
- The Legacy Foundation operates Plus One, Properly and receives every professional service fee directly. Your statement descriptor will identify both the Foundation and Plus One, Properly so the transaction is recognisable.
- Does one hundred percent go to the Foundation?
- The Legacy Foundation is the legal seller and records the entire stated professional fee as Foundation revenue. Payment-processing and initiative operating costs may be paid from Foundation funds. This does not mean every dollar goes directly to programmes, and it excludes taxes, refunds and third-party expenses.
- Are travel and event tickets included?
- No. The professional fee covers the accompaniment itself. Admission, travel, hotel, and any other third-party cost are separate, and wherever practical you should purchase them directly rather than through the Foundation. Expense reimbursements are never described as charitable support.
- Is there anything to sign?
- No. There is no contract to print, no signature, and no separate agreement page to work through. You accept the terms at the payment step, where they are linked so you can read them first — the same way you would agree to terms buying anything else.
- How does payment actually work?
- You pay half to reserve the date. The other half is charged to the same card on the morning of the event, automatically, so there is no reminder to act on and no invoice waiting once the evening is over. If the event is a week away or less, it is settled in one payment instead. Cancelling always stops the second charge.
- What happens to my money if I cancel?
- Within forty-eight hours of reserving, you get everything back. After that the reservation is not returned in cash — holding your date means declining others for it, and only a few engagements are possible each month. Cancel more than twenty-one days out and its full value becomes a reschedule credit for another occasion within twelve months; closer than that, it is retained. The balance is never charged on an engagement that does not happen, so the reservation is the most you can lose, and you know that figure the moment you pay it.
- What if the event runs late?
- Then it runs late, and usually that means it is going well. Nobody is watching a clock. If an evening runs on well past its hours, additional time is two hundred dollars the half hour — which is written down here only so that it never has to be raised on the night.
- What if either of us is uncomfortable?
- Either of you may end the engagement immediately, and the reasons that justify it are stated plainly in the code of conduct: harassment, coercion, intoxication, undisclosed participants, an unsafe venue, or a material change in the event. This runs in both directions and is not a formality.
- How is my privacy protected?
- Your records are visible only to you and to the people operating the service. Nothing about your engagement is published, and testimonials require separate written permission for each element — the words, the role, the location. What the site will not claim is that screenshots are impossible or that you cannot be identified by someone determined to try.
- How do I know who I am actually meeting?
- Because he is not anonymous. His full name, his law practice and the Foundation he has chaired since 2006 are all on the private profile, and the Foundation publishes its leadership and its financials openly — so you can look him up independently before you ever reply. And if you would like to speak before going any further, you can. That is a great deal more than most introductions give you.
- Can I purchase an engagement for someone else?
- Not during the founder-led launch. Because the service is so personal, the person attending has to request access, review the profile, complete verification, accept the engagement and pay for it herself. You are very welcome to refer her — you simply cannot decide on her behalf.
- Are destination events available?
- They are considered individually and accepted only where the specific destination has been cleared in advance. They require a verifiable hosted event, separate lodging, independent transportation, a complete itinerary, and full payment twenty-one days before travel.
- Does he provide legal advice?
- No. He is a New York attorney, and that is part of why the preparation is thorough — but no legal services are provided through this initiative, no attorney-client relationship is created, and none of the protections that come with legal representation apply.
Still unsure
Ask before you decide.
Requesting access does not commit you to anything. It shows you the profile and the full fee schedule, and you are free to go no further.
