Explanation:

agree  Luisa Ramos, CT: I would say "love is born out of seeing". I don't think the text necessarily implies "first sight"

Explanation:
We're not quite sure exactly what "services" are being advertised here, and perhaps don't want to guess. However, it strikes me that "love at first sight" is not quite the right thing. (It would be simply "amor a primera vista", although I appreciate that you are aware that it is not a direct translation, but a catchy phrase we are looking for.)

I think my phrase catches the essence a little better - the idea that people fall in love based on appearances, but made to sound a little romantic :) (You may wish to use eye in the singular - I was debating this point, but wanted to avoid the mental image of a love-struck cyclops.)
