    We did the Batman room to celebrate my buddy's bday and it was fun! He can't wait to go back to try another room. He is a tough critic because he worked at an escape room for years. I like that Escapology is really clean and that they give you a bracelet. It's in the mall so parking can be hit or miss(luckily it was a hit for us). Make sure you go to the bathroom and sign the waiver beforehand. The woman who was explaining our game was talking SO FAST. That might have been due to a time crunch. We had to ask for one clue and the computer screen ended up giving us another clue which my buddy wasn't too happy about but I'm just glad we escaped. Manager was really nice and took our picture. Went to Mongolian BBQ and Ninja Xchange. Awesome day at the mall!

    Hope to make it out!

    Updating my review to give a big shoutout to Audri! She did an amazing job as game master. Escapology is a rad spot in the mall. So clean and well done. We played the Pirate's Curse today.... (Thank you for being open on Thanksgiving!) Super fun with some challenging but manageable puzzles. We've now played all but one of the rooms here. Until next time!

    I went with my friend and we did the Lost City. At first it was kind of confusing but there was a difficult challenge in between. We request 8 clues but were able to get out of there with 3 minutes to spare. The staff there were helpful and friendly. They explained everything in detail and helped us out. I wish I remembered their names but it was towards the end of the night and it was 2 males. Thank you for the fun experience!

    Came to Escapology to celebrate my birthday with my fiancé. We played Agatha Christie's Murder on the Orient Express escape room. Our game master's name was Demi, prior to starting he notified us that the Murder on the Orient Express was the most popular and the most challenging escape room they have to offer. He said the success rate was about 20-30%! Knowing this we decided to ask for clues to ensure we were able to get through as many puzzles as possible. Even with clues we couldn't finish the escape room within the 1-hour time limit, but Demi gave us additional time. I'm sure with more people the room will be more doable. We really enjoyed our time here and would like to try some of their other rooms the next time we are in the area.

    Escapeology has become a favorite bonding activity for me and my teenage son, and our visit to the Oceanside location while visiting family did not disappoint! We tackled the Batman room, and it was such a fun, immersive experience. The room was challenging without being overwhelming -- perfect for both adults and teens. But if you have younger ones they do have a kids mode. The puzzles were creative, the set design was super detailed, and the storyline had us fully locked in (literally and mentally ). Staff was friendly, explained everything clearly, and kept the energy fun from start to finish. If you're in the Oceanside area and looking for something exciting to do with teens or family, Escapeology is 100% worth it. Pro tip: Book ahead

    It's my birthday! It's my birthday! Life is a puzzle and I am here to solve it. Time to take a journey, my friends. It's time to escape reality and solve a mystery. Don't forget to bring the Scooby snacks!!! Cartoon nostalgia is the best way to describe this. If you want to be involved in solving a mystery this is the place you want to be. Unlock your potential with every clue, crack codes, like the smile you'll be cracking with this adventure, and under great pressure you'll discover the hidden key. Go ahead and break out of your comfort zone and don't get locked down find your way out to Escapology. $50 per person ,must sign a waiver ,no cellphone use during your adventure, has more than 5 escape room themes

    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!!

It's like if someone crossed a SkyZone Trampoline Park with a McDonald's Playpen and slapped it with a coat of pastel paint and candy stickers. Sorry, CANDEE stickers. I will say that the prices are very reasonable. $25 buys you two hours of playtime. Grip socks are extra, food is extra, some of the games are extra. And the area itself is impressively clean, especially considering the number of young children traipsing about. On the negative side of things, however, the list is a bit longer. First, there's not a ton to do. Candeeland has limited space to work with and much of it is taken up by sitting areas for parents. The empty space could easily house 2-3 more small activities without sacrificing any existing areas. Still, what activities they do have are pretty intricate, with the multilevel play area having a nice array of padded areas for children to crawl through and a toddler area with nice pneumatic tube setup to delight the young. Next, even though the place is less than a year old, there's already some breakage of some of the area. There's a floor made up of touch screens that displays numerous games for kids to step on a play with. However, it's apparent that some larger kids have smacked a number of screens, causing them to go out or flicker. Which leads to my biggest issue. There are not that many people working here. This means that there are usually people minding the gate and checking if your kid is leaving with the right person. But, there aren't enough people on the floor to ensure safety or police older kids from doing things they shouldn't be doing. Candeeland really is a place that caters to those between 3-8 years of age. Older kids either don't fit on some of the slides or play a bit too rough with the environment. More than once, a screaming 12 year old almost barreled over my kid, knocked her off a slide, or hit her with one of the nerf axes. Sure, they balk when you glare at them. But, they just go back to screaming and thrashing about while their parents sleep oblivious in the corner. So, does my seven year old like Candeeland? Yes, she loved it and wants to come back. Did I like Candeeland? M'eh, not particularly. Still, I'm sure I'll be back eventually...

Unfortunately, her communication from the start was spotty at best and required excessive prompting on my end. She repeatedly promised quotes and proposals by specific dates and failed to follow through. While I understand that wedding season is busy, this does not excuse consistently poor communication and lack of follow-through when working with clients who are planning such important events. To illustrate, here's a brief timeline: 5/28: Alona emails me in response to an inquiry submitted to her website, asking when I'll be available for a phone consultation. I reply same-day with my availability. 6/8: No response; I follow up. 6/9: She offers a phone consultation for 6/10. 6/10: Phone consultation; she promises a proposal by the next day. 6/12: No proposal; I follow up. She promises to send by 6/13. 6/16: Still nothing; I follow up again. 6/17: Finally receive a proposal. 6/19 - 6/22: Back-and-forth revisions; budget and design issues arise. 6/24: I follow up via phone and text after no response. Still no reply as of 7/2. In the end, I chose to move forward with another florist whose communication, professionalism, and enthusiasm gave me far more peace of mind. I firmly do not recommend working with Alona if you value reliability and clear communication during your wedding planning process.

    CLASSIC / BOHO / COASTAL WEDDING VIBES - CHECK!…read more It was the absolute pleasure working with Alona for our wedding floral needs. After vetting 18 floral vendors (yes, 18!!!), Alona came in the strongest and was able to understand our vision the most. She was very easy to talk to on the phone as well as over email. Over the course of almost 14 months of wedding planning, there were times when I had to reach out to her and update our floral count. Alona did not give us a hard time about the updates at all or make it seem as if she was annoyed, unlike how other florists were while I was just vetting them! Our floral vibes were to be basically all white roses, baby's breath, with some boho touches to the arrangements. My initial bridal bouquet incorporated white roses and a few orchids. The biggest painpoint for us was having to lock in the best deal despite how many boutonnieres and corsages we needed for our larger (FIlipino traditional) wedding. Not only did Alona come in the closest to our floral budget, on the day of the wedding, she surprised me with absolutely beautiful touches of white peonies and carnations to my bouquet at no additional cost! Additionally, the bouquets for each of the tables as well as on our wedding cake were full and fresh looking. All of our guests complimented how beautiful the flowers were and wanted to take an arrangement home! I cannot recommend Alona enough for your wedding florals. Wedding planning is already super stressful. Make it less stressful by partnering with Alona and her team!

How about I start…read morewith when I was in your exact position, researching different coordinators, and going through every site possible. I used Weddingwire, the knot, yelp, and thumbtack. We are SOOOO lucky Emily reached out to us via Thumbtack. Her quote seemed very fair at the time we received it but would be lying if we said we weren't nervous by her lack of reviews. My wife could tell you that I am probably the biggest "over researcher" there is and without a doubt, I read through thousands of different reviews during our vendor searching. STOP your wedding coordinator search right here!! I guarantee you that you will not be in better hands with a level of service that is 50X the price you will pay. Emily did not just shine on our wedding day, nor for just the month leading up to it, but starting with 6 months to go! She was organized, genuine, on top of things without being overbearing, confident and in control, and a de-stresser at all the right times. I am cursed with being a perfectionist and it is genuinely tough for me to not be in complete control. The fact that I let Emily completely take over and run our wedding day is a testament to the confidence she made us feel in her ability to get things done. Her and her team were running around helping set up decor, pickup last minute details we forgot, calling vendors that were late, dealing with all of the deliveries and setups, etc. When I tell you she did a PERFECT job, that included handling a situation with our caterer being an hour and a half late and not responding to 7 voicemails. She didn't inform us until it was absolutely necessary, she had already begun working up a backup plan, and when they did eventually show up at the same time with the guests, she cleared them out of the way and made sure they had everything done in time for cocktail hour. I can't explain how much Emily truly cares about your day being perfect. She also was extremely conscious of our tight budget and loaned up some of her own decor and easels to use along with getting us in touch with a wholesale florist who came in $1000 less then our cheapest bid! They were also beautiful so use Hidalgo Flowers if you are looking for another awesome human being who does great work. I am telling you that Emily was BY FAR the best money we spent during our wedding and she helped us make what looked to be a $50,000 wedding for a 1/3 of that. From our initial meeting, to the prep, to the day of our 130 person wedding(where she even made sure we got to eat), through cleanup, to follow up- Emily crushed it! The only advice of mine that I hope she takes is that she raises her rates because she deserves more for all of her efforts and the teammates she brings in for the day of. She has plenty of years of experience working for someone else but launched her own business just a couple years ago. PLEASE take my advice and book this wonderful woman. Feel free to reach out to me with any questions you may have or to any of the other people on yelp who reviewed her because i know they would speak just as passionately about her.
