    My wife and I knew Jessica was the right choice for us from the very beginning. She is an exceptional planner with a brilliant & creative mind. She took our vision and made it look and feel 10x as better than we could have ever dreamt! She is truly a great planner who streamlines what could be a stressful process and makes it a fun and enjoyable process.

    Jessica did a fabulous job decorating our venue and coordinating the day!

    I am so glad we went with Jessica to coordinate our wedding in November 2019! We had some pretty difficult vendors to work with, which we booked before booking Jessica. Jessica was empathetic, yet straightforward. Her follow up with vendors was appreciated. She helped turn our vision into reality and make it even better than we imagined! She took on the decorating the morning of at our venue, which is basically a blank canvas. She made sure that my husband and I had a few minutes to ourselves in our venue before guests could enter, which we really appreciated! At the rehearsal, she was organized and really did a great job. There were only a couple of times that I had to ask Jessica about the status of something, otherwise I would absolutely hire Jessica again!

    There is no one I trusted more with planning my wedding than Jessica. She is a rockstar in every meaning of the word - from planning recommendations, her preferred vendors, and just general way of conducting business was exceptional! I found a lot of wedding vendors to be very "fluffy" and that is not Jessica. She loves what she does and her goal is to get the job done well and to ensure that the couple's expectations are exceeded. Jessica's energy on the day of our wedding was bar none, she literally had a bag of tricks to accommodate any random request/need of the wedding party and guests - it was amazing. She made our vision come to life and then some and I am forever grateful to her for such an incredible job! Thank you so much Jess, for giving us the perfect day that we can talk about for the rest of our lives. BRIDES - HIRE THIS WOMAN!!

    Having Jessica to plan our wedding during a pandemic was a godsend! We went with her full-service option. There were so many twists and turns throughout our planning and I can't imagine not having her help. She really had to do two jobs considering all of the added elements compared to normal wedding planning. Despite the world's current situation, I truly had the wedding of my dreams! The day of the wedding I had zero stress, and Jessica had everything covered. She also recommended awesome vendors that brought our vision to life!

    Jessica is the best. I can't imagine my wedding and all the great vendors she recommended without her. I had a couple friends with wedding planner horror stories and was skeptical during the search. Jessica put me at ease and always had great suggestions. As generally a planner myself, she was always 1 step ahead of me. I didn't have to worry about anything on the wedding day, she took care of everything. Throughout the planning process, I maybe had some parent-zilla issues but she wasn't phased at all. On the day of the wedding, she even took all the stuff I brought for the wedding and put it in her car the night before so I didn't have to. We're so grateful we had her as a "partial" planner throughout the process although her work was much more than partial lol. Thank you Jessica for giving us the most beautiful wedding we could have ever thought of!

    We met Jessica back in 2019 & im SO glad we did. We were supposed to get married Sept of 2020 but due to covid we needed to reschedule. During this time we lost our 1st venue but being the superwoman Jessica is she pulled through with a brand new venue in literally, a matter of hours! The venue was everything I wanted & more. Jessica was there every single step of the way cheering us on. I love the fact that she's organized, responsive, & always so cheerful & bubbly. She's a ride or die wedding coordinator & I couldn't have asked for anyone else to coordinate & style our wedding. We are truly blessed & are forever grateful to her! Makes me emotional just thinking about the wedding day & all that we put into it. She made our visions a reality & everything turned out beautiful. A lot of our guest told us that Jessica was on top of it the day of, she was (is) a rockstar! Trust me when I say; book her, you won't regret it!

    I literally could not have imagined a more perfect wedding day, largely because of hiring Jessica with Plan Prep Party to be my wedding coordinator. I was looking forward to planning my wedding and picking some details, but Jessica thought of literally everything and was so prepared to help make my vision a reality. She helped make every single part of my day seamless and went above and beyond to make sure that I had the best day of my life. She was so easy to work with, great at communication, great at working with my vendors, recommended vendors to work with, thought of things I completely forgot about, and she was amazing with my family and wedding guests. Jessica made sure every little detail was perfect and put my mind at ease completely. On top of all that, Jessica is so friendly and sweet - I honestly felt like I had an extra friend around to help. I often say that the wedding coordinator fee was the best money I spent on our wedding! Cannot recommend Plan Prep Party enough.

    Wedding at La Jolla! Thanks, Plan Prep Party!

    First of all, my husband and I would like to thank Jessica for making our wedding preparation smooth and easy! We got her "Day of Coordination". But along the way even before our wedding day itself, she was willing to help us in any way she could especially when we need to look for a good vendor that is just right with our budget. She did recommend a lot of great vendors. We got our florist and photographer through her help. She executed well during our wedding day. All our guests love our wedding! Brides, I highly recommend Jessica as your wedding coordinator!

    Here's the revised version:…read more The owner contacted me and offered a free event, which I declined, requesting a refund instead. She then offered a 20% refund and asked me to change my review, which I again declined. She claimed that despite paying for full event planning services, the event was subpar because I hadn't been involved in planning it. They didn't call. They didn't ask me to go their warehouse. They didn't do anything until the week of the event, when they tried to fit me into their random available times to walk them through my space via FaceTime. To clarify, I paid $2,000 for someone to plan and orchestrate an event. What I received was maybe a $200-$300 setup, and it's apparently my fault for not planning the event I paid someone to plan. She argued that I should have requested changes during the setup. However, I wasn't home at the time. The whole point of hiring this service was to arrive at a fully set-up event with my guests. When I arrived, they were still setting up as my guests were arriving (even though they were supposed to have been gone by then). So, there wasn't time to make changes, and it would have been an awkward conversation anyway. Instead of blaming me, they should have done the job they were paid to do or not sold the package in the first place. To add insult to injury, she compared this situation to eating a pizza and then requesting a refund. This was over $2k. It's not even close to ordering a pizza and asking for a refund. She ripped me off. I stand by my request for a full refund. She should have offered that refund on her own. This event was pitiful. I will never use their services again or recommend them to anyone.

    I recommend Claudia to everyone, I can't rave about her enough and this review is only highlighting…read moresome of the great things about her and her studio. Trust me when I say Claudia will exceed any expectations you have for any project. I found Claudia from googling "San Diego calligrapher" and I am SO blessed that I found her. Claudia answered the phone right away and she invited me to her cute shop in Old Town and that is when I saw she does so much more than just wedding invites. I immediately asked if she could help me with more projects for my wedding. Claudia helped me with my wedding invitations, designed and created the most beautiful day of stationary; church programs, table seating chart, menus, table numbers, place cards, bar menu, and signs. Claudia can truly do anything and if you don't know what you want she has so much experience and knowledge to create what is true to you and your partner. She created things I've never seen done and she does it in such a calm and peacefully manner. Her husband, Eric is such a great graphic designer as well and they make the perfect team. I loved coming into the shop and working with Claudia, it truly was a highlight in our wedding planning journey that I will never forget. Thank you Claudia and Eric for providing San Diego and beyond with your beautiful talents! I can't wait to work with Claudia for other life events in the future.

    I found Yvanna through social media. Her pics and decor looked amazing. I booked an appointment and…read moreshe seemed super on point and well organized. I decided to book with her for my wedding. We coordinated for about a year and things seemed to go smooth. She seemed to capture my vision. She is very well versed. However, things went down hill towards the end. the closer we got to my wedding , her response time was not the best. I found myself anxious and unsure when I asked for updates. My portal was never updated on the additions I made. Her attention to detail is not what she tries to sell. The day of the wedding came and my bouquet was NOT what I had sent her. It didn't even incorporate my wedding color. My bridesmaids bouquets looked wilted. The men's boutonnières had some ugly ribbon that I asked to be removed. I never decided on that look. Plus after requesting additional ones, they were not added so some of the bridal party did not have boutonnières. The coordination was horrible at the reception. I completely put my money and my wishes in her hands for my most special day only to have to be looking for her half the time. I had to call her at one point cuz she was no where in sight. Even after arriving early after pictures The grand entrance started late. She didn't have my bridal parties names after she had asked for all that info and was provided on her website. She had to write it down the day of for the MC. The late start was due to the band not being able to connect their sound but we had a dj also who was ready so I don't know why the delay even happened tbh. That pushed us back almost an hour. The food was served late. Her food tasting did not match the food the day of the wedding. Although cooked on site I had guests later tell me their food was cold, the beef had too much fat, the waiters were rude. My vendors kept asking me and other guests for food constantly because they were not served! Even after guests had eaten. All the important wedding events like bouquet / garter toss, cake cutting, dollar dance were super late I had little to no guests left I had to constantly tell her I wanted to do them already. Everything that I purchased separately i labeled where it went and what it was for to make it easier for her and placed in a container for her and her team to either do or put out and was explained beforehand. I was told it would get done but it didn't. My table decor was not what I asked for. I had asked for hurricane vase candles and they were not put. So I'm not sure why I paid what I paid for candles ? The ones she put out were from the dollar tree because I've seen them there. I had a backdrop I asked her to put up. It was left in the box and not put up. Then my box was taken. My memory wall was not decorated how I envisioned. The candles I bought were not placed with the pictures it was literally a naked wall w pics smh. My bouquet was given to her at the wedding, after handing it to her and telling her I wanted to preserve it still and her assuring me she would put it in water only to later find out she handed it to an assistant and She ended up taking it to her warehouse and I got it back 4 days after the wedding of course in horrible condition. It couldn't be salvaged anymore. My party favors were never placed on tables even after the sun had gone down. My cake was not cut and passed out. No one got cake!!! I didn't let it ruin my night but I wish I would have read some of the negative comments on here first because her coordination is terrible. Sure her decor is nice but also didn't meet my expectations and what was asked / told would be delivered. I had many guests later reach out to me with negative comments on the coordination part and that they had to actually go look for her as well to try and help out because they didn't want to bother me or my groom during the wedding event. Apparently other guests had requests or concerns and I didn't know until after the wedding. Super embarrassing to hear. Nice girl but shouldn't offer what she can't deliver. Maybe it was too much on her plate and she needs some extra assistance. I suggest she gets more help if she can't do it all. Not worth my money IMO.

The fee for the lesson and party is $15, for party only - $10. The announcement (https://www.queenbeessd.com/swign-dance) places the lesson at 6:30-7:30PM, the dance with DJ music is supposed to start at 7:30PM. On the day of my visit, the times were shifted by half an hour, so if you want to just dance, 8PM is the good time. The dance lesson by Mercedes Moore (yes, the great San Diego singer!) is excellent, most of the 20+ dancers appeared to be regulars and thus had accumulated significant amount of skill, yet due to small size of group, a true beginner should feel OK. Unlike most places in San Diego, this one has noticeably more leads (traditionally men) than follows (women), so this venue might be great for a true beginner follower. During the social party few more dancers appeared, but the group remained pretty small, and by 9PM it became hard to find a dance partner (the music was still going on). Some logistics: the free (street) parking is very limited. The best paid parking is across the street in a well-lit parking lot ($5 for two hours). The wooden floor is of OK quality, the seating is adequate for the small crowd. As always for small gatherings, bringing one's own dance partner is recommended, although on the day I have visited, it was easy for follows to find a lead. Overall: a true beginner follow should definitely check out this venue. An intermediate lead that wants just to dance, should consider bringing his own follower.

    We used I-Do... for both day-of coordination and florals for our wedding at Scripps Seaside Forum,…read moreand it was one of the best decisions we made! Elena and her team were absolutely phenomenal and made our wedding day so much more enjoyable and stress-free. Day-of Coordination: Elena stood out not only on the wedding day but also in the months leading up to it. She was incredibly helpful during the planning process--offering thoughtful insight into creating a seamless timeline and even helping with ideas for decor and place settings tailored to our outdoor, beachy (and occasionally windy!) wedding. She thought of every detail, from preparing us in advance to get those dreamy photos (like the first kiss and cake cutting) to ensuring everything ran on schedule without a hitch. On the day, Elena was a true lifesaver. From the rehearsal to the ceremony and reception, I never once had to worry about where I needed to be or what was next. She kept everything moving smoothly, pointing me in the right direction while allowing me to fully enjoy the company of our guests and the magic of the day. And she always made sure we were taken care of (never without a drink in hand!). Her leadership and attention to detail made it all so effortless for us. Florals: Melissa tackled all of our floral arrangements, and I couldn't have been happier with how they turned out! Working within my limited budget, she brought my vision to life with stunning florals that perfectly matched our style and the seaside setting. Melissa truly understood the look I was going for, and her creativity and expertise made every arrangement stand out beautifully. She even gave me a calming pep talk before I walked down the aisle, which was such a thoughtful touch during a nerve-wracking moment. If you are considering a wedding at Scripps Seaside Forum (or anywhere else), I cannot recommend I-Do highly enough. Elena is an incredible coordinator who will make your wedding day run flawlessly, and Melissa will make your vision a reality. Thank you, Elena and Melissa, for helping make our wedding day unforgettable!

I booked her early and we initially just did a couple meetings to discuss our vision and needs regarding coordination, vendor contracts and florals since we did not need a full-planning service, only partial. She was always upfront and gave me honest opinions especially when it came to where to splurge and save, and what could look good and what wouldn't. The last 2 months is where she really shined, helping us follow up with vendors on details, setting deadlines for me to book rentals, reviewing contracts and constantly doing sanity checks when I needed it. The day of, she came extremely prepared, everything flowed smoothly (except some technical issues on part of the venue) and she was great at going with the flow and just letting the vibe and natural mood of the day go, and fixing whatever problems I threw at her. We also had her as our florist and she truly out did herself- her prices were incredibly reasonable and she handled everything like a champ when her assistant got sick the day of the reception. She also took my back and forth floral design suggestions and changes very well, as I am quite particular on details in some areas and deferred to her expertise in others. Honestly could not have done it without her and she was without a doubt my #1 worth it vendor! Would absolutely hire her for all your wedding planning and floral needs.
