I hired Darth Vader from Characters for my sons 7th birthday party which was at a venue outside of…read moreour home. We only did a 1/2 hour appearance and wished we had done longer. Darth stayed in character and kept the party flowing smoothly. He had a great sense of humor, so much so that the adults said he was the best part of the party. The kids were thrilled! Ages ranged from 5-12 and ALL had huge smiles on their faces while he was there. He did some Jedi training, posed for pictures, and sat with the birthday boy while he blew out his candles. I worked with Paula to make the arrangements and she was extremely helpful and responsive. She also followed up with me right after the party to see how it went. This was so much fun I may do it again for the next adult milestone party I plan!

We had Characters come to our son's 5th birthday party on July 27, 2013 for a Jedi Training Party…read more They were wonderful!! The performers stayed in character from the moment they introduced themselves to my husband (with no children around) until the second they left, which made the children feel they were really with Obi-Wan and Darth Vader. They were great with the children, keeping them entertained and flowing with the energy level and attention span of a group of 5 year old boys. The surprise of Darth Vader was the best part. My son and his friends couldn't believe he was coming here, to the party, to help them with their Jedi training! Characters really knows how to put together a show that will be entertaining and magical for the target age group. The hour long program was worth every penny, and I can only hope to find something as fun, entertaining, and special for every coming birthday! This was one to remember...thank you Characters!! -The Baldassarre Family

This is the worst woman I have ever met in my life. She robbed me of my deposit despite the fact…read moreshe didn't do anything besides google things. I had to hire another planner who did the job in 3 weeks. I hired Veronica in May for my baby's birthday and 7 months later still nothing was done and she refused to give me back my money. She then texted me extremely threatening texts almost 3 months after my event to remove my one star review or she will sue me. She would then block me and then unblock me and continue to send threatening messages. This woman wants to keep her shady business practice behind wraps. She also threatened me about someone else leaving her a bad review. Her google reviews are mainly all one star reviews. She is the worst thing to ever happen to me. I wish I contacted the other party planning business before I came into contact with this evil person. I have included screen shots of her harassment. I have informed the police department and will take all legal measures should she continue to threaten and harass me. Her number is listed to show you she is the evil person behind these texts. Oh and she kept my money and did no work for what I paid her for. Keep that in mind. Google her. There is nothing but bad things written about her all over the internet let alone her google reviews. I should have read about all her unhappy customers and negative articles written To Veronica's comment: YOU are an absolute liar. I don't need to speak on whatever crap you're saying because a simple search of your google reviews will show all of the horrible reviews you have. If you google "blue ivy and Beyoncé" you can see articles of Beyoncé asking for a restraining order against this awful woman. Poor excuse for a human being! Literally everything she wrote in her response to my comment is a lie and don't entertain her BS! One simple google search will SHOW all her unhappy customers dating back YEARS!

Oh wow, where do I begin? VERONICA YOU ARE A ROCKSTAR!!! It's been exactly 1 month since our…read morewedding day at the SLS Hotel in Beverly Hills, so this is long overdue! Being in the wedding industry myself, I am extremely picky about who to entrust on our big day. Having a wealth of contacts to plan our own wedding, we undoubtedly knew Veronica was THE ONE for us! From our first interview with her she was on point, meticulous and had a back up plan for our "back up plan". She listened to our needs and wedding vision, kept me motivated and on time with my checklists and truly "got it". From day one I conveyed to her that we were looking for a "bulldog" day of coordinator/Superwoman that could handle a large wedding party (11 bridesmaids and 5 groomsmen), large family, out of towner guests and whatever drama might enfold. I wanted someone as detailed as I am, if not more but who truly cares and understands the entire process. We found all that in Veronica, and then some! Her attention to detail is above and beyond. She has her templates, checklists and timelines down to a science. The day of our wedding went off without a hitch (at least that I am aware of). That's what I call a GREAT day of coordinator. I was never concerned or bothered by things that came up because it was fixed before I even knew about it. She was there for us until the very end which was 1:00 AM and was so attentive and checked in on us often!! LOVE that! By the way, she's so much fun and had a blast singing/dancing along with her and our FAB DJ. Our family and friends fell in love with her as well, that I almost forgot she was my planner. :) In a good way that is. She was extremely professional but was so down to earth, she was like family. She's a friend for life!! I highly recommend her and her team. In conclusion: Do yourself a favor, stop looking and call Veronica for your big day!

SO HAPPY & Grateful!…read more We love Michelle and her team! Our wedding ceremony went so smoothly and was beautifully done. It was so nice to work with everyone and was impressed how everything turned out.

Justice Lydon & Co made our wedding day more special and am forever thankful!

It's been one month since our wedding and every day I go back to how loved and supported I felt on…read morethe best day of my life. Michelle played such a major role in that. Everyone was asking us who are officiant was, and whether she was one of our aunts, because she came off like family so naturally. She made our ceremony seamless, personal, and funny. Scheduling the officiant was admittedly one of the more stressful parts of the planning. We were not doing it in a church, nor was there someone that both my husband and I were equally close to who we thought should play the role, so I worried about finding someone I did not know. But within the first phone call with Michelle, it felt like I had known her for years. She is warm, kind, supportive, and professional, and any couple would be lucky to have her. Thank you for everything Michelle!!

It was truly amazing to see how great and magnificent everything looked. The birthday lady was so taken aback by what had been done in her honor that she was at a loss for words. Everything from the setting, flowers, lighting, attentive service, cordial staff, etc....was magnificent. The décor was truly stunning. The food was delectable, well done, and to die for. Everyone in attendance was beyond themselves on how "over the top" the party was. Soraya is very easy to work with and helps her clients achieve their ultimate desired goals. She has a natural way of doing her thing and reassuring you that everything is going to be great that makes your stress level disappear. From planning to execution, Soraya is there and is involved in all aspects of the event. She is a very reliable and dependable person. She is resourceful, has a great attitude toward her work, is very respectful to her clients, and has an aptitude for great services and client satisfaction. Soraya and her team have brought nothing but pure joy to our hearts. She did a fantastic, marvelous job and we are truly elated to have chosen her for our event. Looking forward to the next one!!!
