The Heart Bandits is a Marriage Proposal and Romance Consulting Company.
A new hopelessly romantic company has recently launched in Southern California. They are The Heart Bandits and their motto is, “We steal their hearts, you get the credit.” They offer a one-of-a-kind service for the busy professional who is a romantic at heart but does not have a lot of free time or maybe needs assistance in outdoing his last romantic gesture.  This team of Marriage Proposal and Romance Consultants are revolutionizing the romance industry.

The Heart Bandits specialize in creating unique personalized marriage proposals. The Client may have an idea of what he would like for that special day but just needs some help fine tuning the details or he may have absolutely no idea how to create the perfect proposal and needs help. Through a 20 minute free consultation, The Heart Bandits will determine exactly what is needed for a dream proposal. They send the Client a detailed Personal Relationship Questionnaire designed to truly understand the couple’s relationship and the personality of the future fiancé. “The next step is the best part. Marvin and I analyze the answers within the questionnaire and then we generate 3 amazing marriage proposal concepts full of inside jokes and special moments designed exclusively for the couple,” says cofounder Michele Williamson. The concepts can range from intimate proposals such as a picnic on the cliffs of Pebble Beach to lavish proposals including a hot air balloon ride over Paris. The Client chooses his favorite concept and then the proposal planning begins. For the Client who wants to ensure a stress free proposal, The Heart Bandits offer complete coordination on the big day. They will work with reliable, pre-selected vendors and venues to make sure all of the details are taken care of so you don’t have to worry. The Client can be assured that when they arrive on location, the entire stage will be set. All he has to do is pop the question and enjoy the moment.

Cofounder Marvin Velazquez says, “Similar to planning a marriage proposal, planning a romantic anniversary date or Valentine’s Day event can be stressful if you do not hire a Romance Consultant.” The Heart Bandits offer complete romantic date planning. They haveexclusive relationships with many vendors and venues and have experience in planning romantic dates that are sure to leave a lasting impression. Much like the marriage proposal planning service, they get to know the personal details that make each relationship unique and use that information to plan a perfect and personalized romantic date. They can provide the idea, the location, and coordinate the entire event if needed. “This service is not just for men. Women often want to plan romantic dates for their loved one, but they don’t understand that men view romance completely different than women do,” states Williamson. “There are many ways to put the spark back into a relationship, people just need help finding where to start.” The Heart Bandits have a Ladies Only service which assists women in planning dates that men would find romantic. The service helps women either plan a fantasy date or be a fantasy date.

One of the most unique services they offer is a pre-arranged gift delivery service. This is an amazing idea for the busy executive that wants to show their loved ones how important they are, even if they travel frequently. The Client selects romantic gifts and services from The Heart Bandits exclusive list. Some of the gift and service choices are in-home massage, personal chefs, personalized wine bottles, private dance lessons, and a maid service. “There are too many gifts and services to mention, but we can’t give away all of our ideas,” Williamson jokes. The Client then decides the frequency of which they would like the gifts to arrive. For instance, if they want to have one gift deliveredevery month for a year, they choose 12 gifts and services. They pay up front for all the gifts and services and then they never worry about it again for an entire year. All of the gifts and services will arrive on the agreed upon date, and the loved one will feel special and adored all year long.

Velazquez and Williamson are not only venturing in this business together, but are getting ready to venture in life together as they are currently engaged to be married. They pride themselves in being hopeless romantics and they offer a unique male and female perspective on romance. “I understand how stressful planning a marriage proposal can be for a man because you just want it to be perfect,” Velazquez states.  “We constantly try to outdo each other in the romance department. It is what keeps our relationship exciting. We just want to help others experience the same thing.”

The Heart Bandits mission is that when you ask the most important question of your life, or interact with the most important person in your life, things will go as perfectly as possible. If you are worried or unsure if your loved one would be turned off by the fact that someone helped you plan your romantic event, don’t be. In a recent survey, women were interviewed regarding how they would feel if they knew that their loved one hired a Marriage Proposal or Romance Consultant and 98% of women said they would be flattered to know that their men took such great steps to ensure their moment was perfect. If that isn’t enough reassurance, The Heart Bandits offer 100% discretion if desired.
