My experience with Hansini was really bad and I would not recommend her to anyone. I really hate to write bad reviews about businesses, but I also don’t want anyone to be put in the same situation that I am currently in. I found Hansini on Thumbtack and seemed like the perfect planner for what I was looking for. The pictures of the events she shared were beautiful and she seemed eager for the experience. Our contract was signed around March 2, 2023. I was so excited to have help with calling vendors and getting ideas for my jungle themed baby shower in early June. She was also going to serve as the day-of coordinator for the shower and have a runner that works with her as well. We had a great first meeting to discuss ideas and a venue. In between our meetings, I secured my neighborhood amenity center as the venue. When it came time for the next meeting Hansini seemed really distracted as she was driving home from her kids swim lessons. She asked the same questions she had asked during the prior meeting. When I pointed it out, she realized she was on the wrong page of her notes. She still hadn’t contacted any vendors or presented pictures, so I let her know that was my expectation for our next meeting. I wanted to book the vendors as quickly as possible. It took a while to get the next meeting scheduled, but at least she did have a potential decor vendor and maybe prices for food. It wasn’t much, but at least it was progress. After that meeting is when things got complicated. While trying to get meetings scheduled, Hansini had a variety of personal issues that came up over the next couple of months. She was at the vet all day with her dog, she was at a conference that lasted until Thursday of that week, she had a wedding, lightening stuck her house, someone slashed 2 of her tires, she was out of the country, and her child had an ear infection. I felt really bad for her, but her lack of communication and follow-up was too much for me to deal with. Dates and time came and went with no results. On Wednesday, May 4th I requested that our contact be terminated and I let her keep the $200 deposit I paid since she did search for the caterer, balloon decorator, and bakery. I am using the caterer and balloon decorator she provided, but she never sent the baker that she had allegedly been working with. I don’t think she really had one. I regret letting her keep that money. Since my shower is now a month away, I’ve had to spend a lot of time this week calling vendors and doing the work I was expecting from her. I wish her the best, but I also hope that she never puts another person in this situation.
