Planner's guide
Hearts & Happiness Event Planning - Vendor Insights
Best For: Wedding ceremonies, elopements, wedding receptions, and custom-tailored special events for clients seeking personalized planning
What planners usually like:
- Full-service approach handling concept development through day-of execution, reducing coordination complexity
- Willingness to work with diverse client backgrounds and customize offerings rather than using templated solutions
- Hands-on planner involvement that prioritizes client experience and relationship building throughout the planning process
- Flexibility across multiple event types rather than specializing in only one category, allowing for broader service adaptation
Things to clarify before booking:
- Request specific pricing breakdown for different event types (ceremonies vs. receptions vs. elopements) since contact-for-pricing model requires individual quotes
- Confirm geographic service area and travel policies, as location details are not currently listed
- Discuss timeline expectations and booking availability, including lead time requirements for different event sizes
- Clarify scope of services included in planning packages versus additional fees (venue sourcing, vendor coordination, day-of coordination, design consultation)
Common questions
What's included in the full-service event planning package?
Based on the vendor description, Hearts & Happiness provides concept development through final event execution. Before booking, request a detailed scope document that specifies which services are included (venue consultation, vendor sourcing, design, timeline management, day-of coordination) versus what incurs additional fees. This clarity prevents budget surprises mid-planning.
How far in advance should we book, and what's the typical planning timeline?
Event planners generally recommend booking 6-12 months ahead for weddings, though elopements may require less lead time. Contact Sean directly to understand current availability and minimum booking windows, as this varies based on complexity and current project load.
Does this vendor handle vendor coordination, or do we manage our own vendors?
The description mentions delivering "through the event itself," suggesting vendor management is likely included, but confirmation is essential. Ask specifically whether they coordinate with caterers, florists, photographers, and other vendors, or if you're responsible for vendor communication and payments.
How does the customization process work from concept to final event?
Request details about the initial consultation process, how many revision rounds are included, and the communication frequency during planning. Understanding their design process—mood boards, color palettes, timeline creation—helps determine if their approach matches your vision and planning style.
What's the difference in planning approach between a wedding ceremony, elopement, and reception?
Since Hearts & Happiness handles all three formats, ask how planning differs for an intimate elopement versus a 200-person reception. This clarifies scope, pricing differences, and whether the same level of detail applies across event types.
Are there geographic limitations, and do you travel outside your immediate area?
Since location information is unlisted, directly ask about service radius. Determine whether they coordinate destination weddings, handle travel logistics, or work only within specific regions, as this significantly impacts planning feasibility and costs.
