we do all what we can and a little bit more to get the "happy end".
Explanation:

I would translate it just taking care on the "meanings" not the words because what is important in this context (if I understood it correctly) is: they have a goal and will do all to get it.

It's another idea. ;)

Another way to go would be:
we have included everything
we have left no stones unturned
we have ensured that everything which might be needed is present
we have considered everything (for a full experience)
We have (addressed/engaged) all of the senses (and then some) in order to ensure a happy ending

neutral  Dita67: Yo creo que ponerle todos los sentidos o los cinco sentidos a algo significa "to give sth one´s full attention" Si se refiere a prestar atención a algo para que salga bien.
