I’m with oomis. When it comes to shidduchim, the only reference you should list (boy or girl) is the rov / rebbetzin of your primary shul.

p.s. – if you don’t have a primary shul (in most cases, this is the one you daven at on shabbos / yom tov) then by all means. GET ONE! If you daven at 10 different places, then no one (perhaps not even yourself) really knows you.

If you’re talking about a job resume, your former co-workers or supervisors will do. Most people however, write “referneces available upon request”.

Besides, a real good shadchan (or parent) will do their own research, so the person you list is the not as important as you think. It makes a statement (that’s why I favor the rov / rebbetzin) but in the end, the real info comes from homework.

Either way, Hatzlocha Rabbah!
