HERZ x HERZ

HERZ x HERZ is the wedding planning business of Mélanie Michèle Bosshardt, a certified wedding planner (diplomierte Hochzeitsplanerin) who presents herself as a planner for Basel and the whole of Switzerland. Her site describes the aim as a stress-free planning process and a wedding day that feels light, emotional and completely right for the couple, and it offers three services: full planning, partial planning and themed weddings (Mottohochzeiten).

Who She Is

Bosshardt writes that weddings are her passion and that she turned her enthusiasm for the events industry into her profession. Her stated goal is to bring a couple's dream wedding to life with creativity, heart and an eye for detail. Whether the couple wants a romantic fairy-tale wedding, a creative theme party or a one-off celebration in the open air, she says she accompanies them with inspiration and experience so the day turns out as they imagined it.

The homepage frames the value for busy couples in four points: time for what matters, because daily working life stays calm while the wedding is organized professionally; clarity and structure, because the couple's ideas are brought together into one coherent concept; a focus on the good parts, because the couple can concentrate on the special moments before and during the wedding; and creative, individual design, with the theme wedding realized with attention to detail and professional know-how.

The planning page adds its own list of reasons couples choose HERZ x HERZ: individual wedding concepts, structured planning, a high love of detail, professional organization, personal support, and reliability and experience. A separate list of benefits on the homepage promises uniqueness through individual details and a creative motto, a wedding that tells the couple's own story, a relaxed planning process and decorations that guests will remember.

Full Planning

The full planning service starts with an intensive concept phase, from which a tailored design is developed for a wedding in Basel, Lucerne, Solothurn, Zurich or anywhere else in Switzerland. Whether the style is romantic, modern, minimalist or glamorous, the page says every element is matched: the color concept, flowers and decoration, the styling of the venue and the overall atmosphere. The couple's story, style and wishes are translated into one concept that runs like a common thread through the day.

The page then lists what full planning covers:

• budget planning and cost control
• selection and coordination of suppliers
• scheduling and running-order concepts
• guest management and seating plans
• a design and decoration concept
• contract management and organization

On supplier coordination, the page names photographers, florists, catering, music and entertainment, and venue partners, all steered centrally so the day runs smoothly. On structure, HERZ x HERZ prepares detailed day schedules, timelines for every supplier and complete budget control, so that the wedding stays predictable, transparent and free of stress. The page also mentions weaving in personal elements that tell the couple's story.

On the Wedding Day

On the day, HERZ x HERZ takes over all coordination in the background. The page lists what that means: a smooth setup, coordination of all suppliers, keeping to the schedule and discreet problem solving. It closes with "Ihr müsst nur noch eines tun: genießen" (you only have to do one thing: enjoy).

Partial Planning and Theme Weddings

The homepage describes the offer as covering couples who want full planning, couples who need support in individual areas, and couples planning a creative theme wedding. It lists partial planning and theme weddings as separate services with their own pages, which are the places to check for their scope. The themed wedding is where her design focus shows most, and the homepage describes a celebration that stands out through individual details and a creative motto.

How It Works

The site describes three stages. First comes a meeting to get to know each other and discuss the couple's ideas and wishes; the site invites couples to book a non-binding first meeting (unverbindliches Erstgespräch). Second is concept development, in which Bosshardt draws up an individual concept covering design, budget and the running order. Third is implementation: she takes care of the whole organization and is on site on the wedding day to make sure everything runs smoothly.

Contact is by phone on 0041 76 303 66 86 or by email at ja@herzmalherz.ch, or through a form that asks for the couple's names, email, phone, the preferred date, the number of guests, the venue if known, how they heard of her, and a message about their wishes.

What Clients Say

The homepage quotes two couples in German. Maria and Florian call her "Absolut empfehlenswert!" (absolutely recommended) and praise her love of detail and professionalism as incomparable, thanking her for her irreplaceable support. Enzo and Mire (listed as Vetrmie and Enzo) say she made their perfect wedding possible and helped them enormously, credit her love of detail, organizing talent and lively personality, and write that they could enjoy the celebration with their guests and rely on her completely.

A third testimonial is not about a wedding. It thanks her for organizing a farewell and funeral for a friend, and for the memorial reception for a mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, which the writer says was perfectly organized. It shows her organizing skills extend to other occasions, including difficult ones.

What the Site Does Not Settle

The site publishes no prices, packages or hourly rates; everything starts with the first meeting. It is written in German only and does not say whether she works in English or any other language, which an English-speaking couple should ask before booking. It gives no information on how many weddings she takes on, how far ahead to book, or whether travel costs apply outside the Basel region. The site mentions a professional network but does not name the suppliers in it.

Who It Suits

HERZ x HERZ suits couples in the Basel region, or elsewhere in Switzerland, who want one planner to take the whole wedding from concept to the last dance and who care about a coherent design. Couples planning a themed wedding will find her especially interested in that kind of project. Busy couples who want the organization off their plate, including the seating plan, contracts and budget control, fit the full planning service well. Couples who need to plan in English should confirm it first, and couples who want prices before a meeting will have to ask for them.
