We couldn’t be happier with Chicagoland Popcorn for our wedding favors! From our first visit to their store, we were impressed by the wide variety of flavors they offered. My husband especially loved that we could mix different flavors to create our own custom blend!
Their team went above and beyond to make the process seamless. They helped us choose the perfect bag size, matched our wedding colors with ribbons, and even designed custom labels. We also appreciated that they had pictures from previous events, which made it easier to visualize how our favors would look.
What truly set them apart was their exceptional service. Dwayne and Mogda were incredibly kind and even delivered our order to the city while they were already making another drop-off, saving us valuable time during our wedding weekend.
And of course, the popcorn itself was absolutely delicious—fresh, crunchy, and a hit with our guests! We were so glad we had a few extras to enjoy ourselves. We can’t wait to visit Chicagoland Popcorn again!

Contracted Chicagoland Popcorn for my youngest son’s wedding and wasn’t disappointed. The sweet and savory table was a highlight for our guests. Mogda executed a beautifully decorated table filled with yummy treats. I highly recommend this vendor.

The popcorn bar was absolutely amazing and everyone raved about how beautiful the set up was. The goodie bags matched our wedding colors perfectly and people were practically fighting to take one home. Several family members plan to make individual orders because they enjoyed the popcorn so much.

I can't say enough wonderful things about Mrs. Mogda Walker. From the very first consultation, it was clear that we were in expert hands, but what truly blew us away was how far above and beyond they went to ensure our wedding was perfect.
For a wedding of our size, there were countless details to manage, and Mogda Walker took care of it all. She helped with every aspect, from coordinating the logistics to personally managing the setup and execution. The day of the wedding, I was able to relax and enjoy the moment knowing that everything was in capable hands.
One of the most impressive things was how she handled the decor. Not only did she organize and set up everything flawlessly, but also created the centerpieces, helped hand pick flowers to match our color scheme, and effortlessly put our wedding arch together; which turned out to be stunning and exactly what we envisioned. The attention to detail was remarkable, and every corner of the venue looked beautiful and thoughtfully designed.
When it came to the cake, Mrs. Mogda Walker was also on top of things. They made sure it arrived on time, set it up beautifully, and even worked with the vendor to ensure everything was exactly as we had discussed. Honestly, I don’t think I could have asked for a more seamless and stress-free experience.
If you're looking for a wedding planner who truly cares about your big day and will go above and beyond to make your vision come to life, I highly recommend Mrs. Mogda Walker and the Chicagoland Popcorn Co. They are professional, dedicated, and incredibly talented. They made our wedding day a dream come true!

The intention of having popcorn at the cocktail hour was to add the first part of the special touches that showed what Sly and I liked. Mogda, the honor was unable to do the set-up personally, but every detail down to the last PID, was able to be executed flawlessly by my serving staff and decorator. Needless to say the popcorn flavors are endless, enjoyable, and my guests were looking for more. There was not one kernel left behind. The value of the product, service, and execution was equal to the experience. I will use Chicagoland popcorn for events to come, especially the favor bags, and easy and tasty touch to close out an event.

Long overdue review - Chicagoland Popcorn was great, they took care of all of our needs with short notice after being let down by the nearby not so epic - Epic Popcorn. Table favors were a hit & looked great when paired next to our floral arrangements. Highly recommend!

I met Mogda and her daughter at a wedding event. I immediately loved their spirit. Mogda did our popcorn favor and gift bag for our guests staying at the hotel. Within two to three days she had the boxes ready and even delivered to my house. Every single bag of popcorn was gone!!! Inside our gift bag was a cute straw and the name tag was just what we wanted. I look forward to having another party when I can call on Mogda again.

Popcorn was a huge hit at our wedding. They label each popcorn bag with a tag that says flavor and logo on the back and a message from you to the guests on front. Staff is super friendly and easy to talk to and plan with. They are definitely a company I’ll be recommending 😄

Working with Modga was an amazing experience! Her enthusiasm and experience clearly shined through from start to end. The popcorn was a HUGE hit! We ordered personal popcorn bags for each member of our wedding party as a favor for them and also had a full popcorn bar that Modga laid out for the wedding guests at the wedding. I’m not joking when I say EVERYONE had a cup of popcorn in their hand at one point. So happy that Chicagoland Popcorn was present for our wedding. I 100% recommend and would use them again for any large event.

What a kind and welcoming group of people! Always greeted with a smile and everything was customized to my liking! The flavors of popcorn were astounding. I even loved the ease of working with them, with having to change my order a week before the wedding. Without hesitation and with a smile, things were adjusted to what they needed to be. If you want delicious popcorn any day or for an event, check out Chicagoland Popcorn! I will be a return customer!

But it didn't take much...The Popcorn is AMAZING!!! No digs to anyone else but this Popcorn stays fresh and they're so many flavors to choose from!!!

My sister went through another popcorn vendor for her wedding favors, scheduled pick up for Friday (day before the wedding) and apparently they were closed for good Friday and did not tell my sister ahead of time. She came to Chicago land popcorn in a panic... not only did they agree to get it done in just a few hours, they also custom made her flavor. (Butter with chocolate drizzle) The store manager went ABOVE AND BEYOND to take the stress off of my sister. Because of this they have earned our business for any future events or when we have a craving for yummy popcorn.

I had the pleasure of working with Mogda Walker, co-owner of Chicagoland Popcorn wedding events and planning for my first and second wedding. Our first wedding was on a much grandeur and elaborate scale and was located in Michigan. Our second wedding was for friends and family who were unable to travel to the first wedding and was located in Virginia. The second wedding also had a fraction of the guests and the budget in comparison to the first. Mrs. Walker excelled in her role as the wedding planner for both weddings which demonstrates her ability to adapt to a variety of venues and budgets. She is extremely versatile, attentive and always promptly answered my phone calls. She helped me find discounted decorations and even helped construct and decorate a DIY wedding arch which I loved. Additionally, she was able to match my vision for the second wedding and make suggestions to take it to the next level. She helped me setup, cleanup and never complain despite the reception running late. If you are searching for a wedding planner who goes above and beyond, I highly recommend the wedding services of Mogda Walker From Chicagoland popcorn, simply put she's AMAZING.

Chicagoland Popcorn was an amazing vendor! Very easy to deal with! They treat you like family. We had favors done for our wedding as well as various dessert popcorns bagged for our dessert table. The favors were tied bags of popcorn with ribbon bows in our various wedding colors. They turned out beautiful!!! They also had favor tags on them. We were able to come in for a tasting and taste all the flavors we wanted and pick our favorites to customize our order to our preferences. We even received proofs on the favor tags and were involved every step of the way. Mogda was wonderful! All the staff where very friendly. Responses were always received in a timely manner.

My wedding and reception was exactly how I envisioned it to be, thanks to the help of Mogda Walker, Wedding Planner and owner of Chicagoland Popcorn. During our first meeting I explained my vision for my special day. With her advice and expertise it was the perfect day. She had lovely pieces that she used to decorated both the church and reception venue. Mogda was there for my church rehearsal the day prior to my wedding. She set everything up for the church and the reception venue. When I walked into my reception I was extremely pleased with the look. I received lots of compliments from my guest on the decor and overall coordination of everything. I also purchased my favors from Chicagoland Popcorn. The favors were personalized and delicious. If you want to be stress free and enjoy your wedding day, put the details in the hands of Mogda Walker. She’s a one stop shop for decor, planning and favors. I highly recommend her.

Highly recommended! We used Chicagoland for our cocktail hour and wedding favors. The flavors are amazing; our favorite is raspberry cheesecake. The guests really enjoyed them as well. The extra favors were a nice gift to include with thank you cards for those who could not make it. If you're ever near one of their stores, you should definitely go in and try all the flavors. Mr. & Mrs. Walker are a pleasure to work and are extremely professional.

We had Chicagoland Popcorn at our wedding, and I cannot say enough about how amazing they are! The popcorn table was a hit, and we received nonstop compliments about the AMAZING tasting popcorn! Mogda and the Chicagoland Popcorn staff were amazing to work with. During the planning process, they allowed us to sample as much popcorn as we wanted, guided us in making flavor choices, and were so much fun to work with! On the day of the wedding, they set up a beautiful display at our venue, stayed and help service the guests, and bagged up the extra popcorn for take home snacks! Every. single.flavor. was amazing! They have flavors for every occasion and let me tell you they are OUTSTANDING! I cannot recommend them enough! If you are looking for something fun and different for your wedding, Chicagoland Popcorn is the place to go! Mogda puts so much effort in making the amazing popcorn and presentation come together flawlessly!! I will be using them again in the future!

My husband and I had a GREAT experience with Chicagoland Popcorn. We were married on 8/18/18 and decided to add a popcorn bar at the last minute. Mogda was extremely helpful and reassured me that she could accommodate my last minute request. I could not be more grateful. There were tons of flavors to choose from. Our guests absolutely loved the popcorn bar. I truly appreciate Mogda's friendliness and level of professionalism.

Such a pleasurable experience working with Chicagoland Popcorn! We decided pretty late into planning to do wedding favors and when we sent in a request for pricing, we got an immediate response. They sent us all the samples quickly, giving us plenty of time to choose our favorites. Chicagoland Popcorn created tags for each bag, matched our wedding colors and had the completed order at our door within the week. All of our guest loved them!

My daughter was married in May and wanted a popcorn bar. She now lives in Evansville, but knew only Chicagoland popcorn would do. Mogda is wonderful to work with and her enthusiasm to make sure everything was perfect for us was amazing. The popcorn was fresh and ready to go when I picked it up. They even double bagged it all as she knew I had to travel 5 hours with it. It was a hit at the wedding. Delicious and fresh. We had so many compliments on it. People were disappointed to find out they would have to travel to get more! Lol! Thank you Mogda and crew for making everything so easy for us!

The Chicagoland Popcorn team did such an amazing job and helped me put "thank you" stickers two days before the wedding. Without their help and courtesy, me husband and I would have taken at least four hours to do ourselves. The team at Chicagoland Popcorn went above and beyond and are super friendly and genuine. Thank you and we highly recommend.
