I didn't think these would be qualities of a VR camp, I was very pleasantly surprised. Pan and Tina did a great job with the kids and they run a very cool business. I cannot wait to come back and do a VR themed "girls night out"!

It was so much fun for everyone and I liked how little I had to do. I actually got to enjoy the party myself. The boys had 90 minutes of VR laser tag like play. We had the whole place to ourselves so didn't have to worry about the boys getting split up, or random people being around. We were able to bring in our own food and drinks, and the kids came and ate as they pleased. If I throw my son a party next year, we will likely come back here. It's a 20 min drive from Solana Beach, but well worth it.

We saw her in LaJolla and I was not only impressed with her humor, but the fact that she stayed after her show to meet, talk with and take a photo with each and every person who wanted to meet her personally.

We just celebrated our daughter's Bat Mitzvah and we could not have done this without the detail,…read moreorganization, and diligence of Pat of Zperfect party! She is incredibly amazing!!! She was open to our thoughts and ideas, and helped us with these seedlings of ideas - to grow into the most perfect, stunning, unique theme - just for our daughter (and one that appealed not not only 30 teenage girls, but the 100 other adults as well). My daughter and I knew the colors we liked, but we didn't have a true vision, and Pat was instrumental in really getting us all on the same page and developing an eye catching and solid theme. We met her, she asked my daughter questions about her interests, and Pat came up with the most fantastic ideas. As a parent, my big concern was "day of." I wanted to enjoy the Bat Mitzvah and not have to come to the hotel to decorate. I wanted to count on someone to do this, meet with the balloon person, flower person, etc, and so I could just show up with my family. PAT did this! She had it all covered, and I trusted her, and when my daughter and I came, all dressed up and came into the room before the guests arrived, we cried! It looked SO amazing, ,it was EVERYTHING we had talked about and MORE!!!! Finally, ,Pat knew that I was on a budget, and when I told her things like, "I'll figure the furniture for a lounge" since I didn't want to pay the high cost she said "ok." She didn't ever try to push me in any direction, she just goes with the client, and works alongside you, if that is your style. I also know if your style is for her to do it ALL she WILL do it all (I have 2 friends that wanted her to do it all and they said she was AMAZING as well). She works SO HARD, she does not forget ONE DETAIL, she is absolutely amazing. This was our 2nd Bat/Bar Mitzvah, and this was the BEST experience we have ever had!!! If you have a Bat/Bar Mitzvah, a big birthday, a graduation, any type of celebration - big or small that you would like some help, I highly recommend Pat. She will help you with Z PERFECT PARTY!!! Once you know. your date - you should contact her!!!!

She arranged to have delicious food from Fratelli's Italian restaurant, ordered the tables and chairs but most specifically found an Italian bakery where they prepared 275 Italian desserts in addition to the fabulous birthday cake. Honestly, the desserts were just too pretty to eat but they were also delicious. I told her what I had in mind and everything was taken care of. I will most definitely hire her again for any future parties. Everything was professionally done. She even made the sun come out after a week of pouring rain. She and her team are the best!!

She is HIGHLY recommended.

We had a blank palate (beach for ceremony and Brick for reception) for our wedding and while we had many things complete, Carly filled in all the gaps and took charge of those things you don't even think about and there are MANY things you may not think about. She even met with us a few weeks before the wedding at our ceremony site and reception site so that she could really try to make our vision perfect. The wedding went as smoothly as it could and when some small issues arose, Carly immediately told me to relax and took care of them! She was super helpful and you will love working with her!!

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!

Melissa was incredible - she helped us plan our reception at Seabird Resort and I truly feel like…read moreshe went above and beyond- in logistics and emotional support! 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.
