After the lead dumps her rotten boyfriend, and before the main plot begins you should have a few scenes where she awkwardly tries dating on her own.

1: She tries sexting a guy (PG13) video tapes herself dancing in her underwear... it goes live to all her friends
2: She gets set up on a blind date: He turns out to be 70 and keeps falling asleep at the restaurant. ("You'll love him, he's a Marine veteran..." fails to say it was the Korean war)
3: She tries online dating only to accidentally get on the wrong site and her match turns out to be a very butch lesbian. (Only works if the lead is straight)
4: She tries a singles group at her church... Her mom is there, and her mom has better luck than she.

That is when out of the blue, she gets a number or sees a commercial or a friend tells her about... What ever your hook is. (The matchmaker who has never failed to produce a match)

I have to agree with the others, this is just the set up, the story would be what she does about it. Does she do online dating. Does she get a mail order boyfriend...?Does she go on christian mingle.com???

Here would be an example of a logline with a forward looking plot instead of a logline that concentrates on the setup.
-------------------------------------------------------
After she dumps her self-centered boyfriend, a socially awkward musician travels to Ireland to hire a famous matchmaker who has never failed to produce a love match, at least until now."

Hope that helped.

Agreed with Craig.

It's not clear how the story will play out. She wants a new guy - that is her goal, so we need to know what she does to get her man.
