Your event is an incredibly meaningful moment in your story. Every ounce of you is invested in it. I’m ready to be invested, too. Let me help guide your planning and coordination experience so you can be fully present with your favorite people.
from the young & young at heart

I’M VANESSA,
the “Ness” behind Happyness. What started as a sit-down dinner to help my mom plan her California coastal wedding back in 2022 has grown into a full-on wedding planning business that allows me to connect with couples all over the Central Valley. If you prefer reading a paperback book in a coffee shop on a rainy day to scrolling on social media, you’re my kind of couple.
Whether you’re planning to tie the knot here in Fresno, California; at a winery along the Pacific Coast; or clear across the country – I’m ready to go one step ahead of you to help create an intentional and memorable wedding weekend experience.
unique + inclusive + intentional

PARTIAL SERVICE: PLANNING & COORDINATION
The most popular package! This service caters to the couple wanting to tackle the planning process themselves with general oversight and input from a planner who can pull the entire vision together.
FULL SERVICE: DESIGN, PLANNING & COORDINATION
For the newly engaged couple with a vision of their dream day paired with the desire for assistance throughout the entire planning process. This package truly takes you from “Will you marry me?” to “I do.”
MONTH-OF COORDINATION
For the couple that has already completed (most) aspects of the planning process. As your coordinator, I will step in during the final months leading up to your event to manage the team you have hired to create your dream day.

CLIENT LOVE
“Words cannot describe how grateful we are for you and all the wonderful support you provided us on our wedding day. You are such a light and joy to be around. You made me feel so calm and like everything was taken care of, and it was. We were in the best hands. Thank you for being part of our day, it couldn’t have happened without you.”
