I feel very strongly that shadchanim should be payed for their hard efforts – once the shidduch is complete. Like many people have said, the shadchan is like a broker who only gets paid once everything is complete. Shadchanim should be paid a decent amount – if someone could afford to spend thousands on flowers, the same should be done for shadchanim. One should always be thankful and courteous to shadchanim but actual payment comes once it’s a done deal.
