Betsey is "Simply the Best"! Her infectious laughter, charm, and energy make her a joy to work with and her team is just as lovely.
I'm so thankful for her that I don't even know...
where to start. Within an initial conversation with her, it became clear that she understood our vision for our wedding and our budget. One of the things I appreciated most about her is on the day of our wedding, I felt stress-free and was able to be present and enjoy every moment. I had confidence knowing she was taking care of the details. She was so quick to problem-solve when something unexpected came up, that I didn't know about it until after it was solved and handled beautifully. Her expertise and ability make her a must for planning your special day or event!
Pop the Bubbly, specifically Lillie Simpson, made my wedding day dreams come to life. As a partial planner, Lillie went above and beyond and helped answer thousands of questions, t...
exts, calls, and emails. From picking vendors, working on the budget, securing contracts, ordering rentals and linens, and organizing a rowdy wedding party, Lillie made the day absolutely PERFECT! & she did it all while losing her voice! Her team was beyond professional and extremely helpful, and I couldn’t have done it without her. Working with Pop the Bubbly was a real treat, and anyone would be silly to pass up the opportunity to have this kind of support during their wedding planning process!
Betsey and her team made sure everything ran smoothly from wedding planning to the day of! I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a planner.
I worked with Pop The Bubbly to plan my wedding and I am so glad I did. Planning my wedding and not being local brings a whole set of challenges in itself but Pop The Bubbly team w...
as there to help every step of the way. I personally booked the 30 day out planning package and had Lillie Simpson helping me 30 days prior and day of. They provided suggestions on vendors, a timeline for my venue, and other pointers that they had expertise in and I didn't. I don't know what I would have done without Lillie! An important thing for COVID Brides... Leading up to the wedding with things up in the air with COVID, Lillie was available via text/call/email to provide updates, suggestions and insight into what we could do with the current rules for a large gathering. Booking a planner 100% virtually and I'm so glad I picked Pop The Bubbly... Lillie and Bestey are people who I'd want to be friends with if I lived locally! (S/O to you two!) . Ultimately, I wish I could give more than 5 stars. If you're looking for a review that tells you to book Pop The Bubbly - THIS IS IT. You will be so glad you did.
I cannot say enough good things about Lillie! She was our "day of coordinator" but was even more than that to me throughout the wedding planning process, especially during COVID. ...
She was super helpful and flexible when rescheduling our date and helped me plan it perfectly. She truly understood my vision and made it come to life! She made sure every detail was taken care of and was always positive/a calming force :). I thank her so much for our perfect day and absolutely recommend her!
Lillie was our “day of” coordinator for our daughter’s destination wedding. She went above and beyond to cheerfully take care of every detail (and many outside of our expectations!...
) and kept everything on track perfectly. In advance of the wedding, she was able to understand what we were looking for and offer so many valuable suggestions about Charleston. Her positive attitude and energy (after several other weddings that same weekend) were a great contribution to our beautiful celebration!
I worked with Betsey to plan my sister in laws bachelorette party in folly beach/ Charleston in 2017. Betsey was professional, patient and extremely organized. The bachelorette wen...
t flawlessly and I have zero regrets deciding to work with her & her team! Thank you so much for all of your help! It was truly a great time had by everyone and I am so grateful!
I cannot say enough positive things about Betsey and how easy she made the whole process of planning a destination bachelorette party! She was helpful with suggestions of what to d...
o and when to do it based on our group's travel logistics and the bride's interests and I always felt that her end goal was to make sure we had the best time... Mission accomplished! Pop The Bubbly decorated our rental place and stocked the fridge with all our requests and was beyond accommodating when we had a small glitch with placing our grocery orders at the last minute. They made arrangements for a wonderful day out visiting a winery and a couple local breweries and reserved a table at a club for us to dance the night away. It was an amazing trip and we have Betsey and Pop The Bubbly to thank for it!
Thanks to Betsey our bachelorette party in Charleston was a blast! She helped me plan the perfect painting workshop with a very special surprise, and our bride-to-be was soooo happ...
y! The rest of us had an amazing time too!
Our instructor Katie was great - arrived on time, very professional, sweet and fun! Our surprise guest was fantastic too! We have lots of memories to cherish from the party.
From the first email Betsey was very clear, helpful, provided all the details upfront and sent a very helpful sheet with a breakdown for every item, which made planning really easy.
Thanks Betsey! Highly recommend to anyone planning an event!

s to the drag brunch at the end. (And if that doesn’t sound like your jam, don’t worry! She will tailor it specifically to you and your taste!)
I had THE BEST TIME in Miami... I cannot recommend her enough - I wish she’d planned my wedding, too!

othly for our wedding! We knew we could trust her for our wedding day! Betsey went above and beyond in having our wedding vision come to fruition from coordinating vendors, setting up/breaking down the day-of, working with our two venues for ceremony and reception, transportation, rentals, florals, hair/make-up, hotel, etc. She was even great to work with our families to make sure everyone had what they needed and keeping our wedding moving and on time! Betsey took time on the front end to meet with us on multiple occasions to ensure everything we wanted was made possible! She was in constant communication with both myself and the groom on the day-of! She took the stress off of us as the couple and ran with everything! Without Betsey, our wedding would not have been as successful as it all turned out! She paid personal attention to every single detail and her team was incredible! She was the calm during our whirlwind day and handled everything that came her way! Betsey completely personalized our wedding day and made both of us feel special.
Betsey is amazing! I was in charge of planning a bachelorette party for 8 girls in a city I have never been to. Thank god I found Pop the Bubbly! I purchased a bunch of decoration...
s and bachelorette stuff (shirts, straws, etc) and I mailed everything to Betsey about two weeks before the trip.
Betsey decorated our AirBnB before we arrived with all of the decorations I sent her, she found an amazing balloon artist who did the coolest champagne balloon arch, fully stocked the fridge and planned a great boat day for us. Betsey was available to answer questions before and during the trip. I couldn't be more grateful to Betsey and Pop the Bubbly. She made the trip amazing and memorable for the bride and the whole tribe!
Pop the Bubbly curated what originally seemed like an overwhelming task, that combined an unfamiliar town with sixteen girls, into a truly memorable vacation. The attention to deta...
il and stellar recommendations made for a seamless trip. Highly recommend Betsey and her team for all your party planning needs. I left already discussing a desire to return and Betsey will be the first call to help with all things Charleston. Thank you!!
It was a relief to work with someone as professional and creative as Betsey when planning my sister-in-law's bachelorette weekend. Pop the Bubbly was an incredible resource for all...
of our activities and dining experiences. Betsey has a tremendous relationship with local vendors, restaurants, bars, hotels, and services that I never would have known to tap into myself. She presented us with super fun options like Macrame classes and Nude Butlers to serve us in our hotel room. The Macrame class with Marie was so much fun, and something different that everyone in our group (older, pregnant, artsy, drunks, etc.) could enjoy together. People kept stopping on the street to ask what we were doing and were so intrigued by the concept! All of Betsey's suggestions and plans allowed us to have an amazing weekend within our budget. I couldn't ask for a better planner and more unique experience than the one I had with Pop the Bubbly. She responds within minutes and is always available for ideas, suggestions, and answering any questions we had. I will use Betsey for all my future weekend plans in Charleston.
Betsey created a wedding that exceeded every expectation! She is so knowledgeable and experienced that we immediately knew we could trust her and were confident she would knock it ...
out of the park. We provided her with a lot of ideas of things we liked and things we knew were important, but she was able to take all those broken, random ideas and not only beautifully connect them, but amplify them as well! When we first walked into the venue for the first time we were shocked - initially because of how absolutely gorgeous the space was, but also because we felt like who we are as a couple was represented. One of her most impressive gifts is creating a wedding timeline that is so thorough it made all our stress melt away. Thanks to Betsey, we were able to truly enjoy our wedding weekend, stress free! We've told her for months now: We couldn't have done it without her!
Betsey went above and beyond expectations! I could not of had such a successful, fun, and memorable event without her expertise! She has an eye for design and is on top of her game...
all things planning related! She has so many fun experiences to try and can customize anything to make your day extra special! Love her and love pop the bubbly!!!
We hired Betsey for our Bachelorette Party in Charleston for 5 girls & everything was ABSOLUTELY PERFECT! Betsey made planning this trip easy from the start to finish. She always g...
ot back in touch with me via email within a day- even on Thanksgiving Day (because I was planning so close to the deadline). She listened to my description and helped me pick out the PERFECT activities.
The three activities we planned with her were:
-Silk Flower- Floral Crown Party
the woman came right to our home & the crowns turned out PERFECT. She spent about 1.5 hours with us & gave us the remaining flowers to finish on our own.
-Tour of Magnolia Plantation
This was definitely the highlight of our trip. We were picked up in a Party bus @ about 11:30am and were dropped back off around 5pm. We had our own private tour guide (Coby) who was so patient with us the entire trip. He took pictures for us at EVERY stop & gave us so much knowledge & history of the farm. Every employee @ Magnolia seemed to know & love Coby. We felt VIP with him.
-Bar Crawl Cards
Betsey made these cute cards with local bars in Charleston to drink at and visit! This even came with a prize for the winner.
Betsey also did a great job of recommending local restaurants & more.
If you are looking for a top notch planner, I definitely recommend Betsey. I promise you will not be disappointed.
I apologize in advance for writing an entirely too long review, but I want to make sure to not leave a single detail out and give Betsey all the praise that she deserves. Way back ...
when I first started looking at planning a wedding in Charleston, Pop the Bubbly was one of the first search results that came up. I started reading google reviews, and checked out the website. A couple people had mentioned her contagious laugh and how she was extremely professional, but also made people feel that they are her friends. I thought that was pretty meaningful and I decided to reach out. Let me tell you, that was one of the best decisions I have ever made. From start to finish, Betsey was nothing short of AMAZING. She does have that contagious laugh that people have mentioned, and I truly felt like I was working with one of my best friends throughout the entire process. She has an incredible way of maintaining professionalism and at the same time making you feel that you have known each other forever. Betsey’s laid back, but get stuff done approach is just another amazing quality that she possesses. It makes you feel stress free because she never over-reacts and she finds a solution to the problem before you even have a chance to know that there is a problem. She is a miracle worker and my dream wedding was made into a reality. Betsey made sure that every single detail was perfect. I cannot thank her enough. During my wedding, everyone kept commenting on how perfect everything was. I told everyone, it has nothing to do with me, and everything to do with Betsey. Now if only I could have her plan my every day life. I was worried about planning a wedding out of state, but I couldn't have asked for a better experience. If you are looking for a planner, LOOK NO FURTHER. I cannot stress it enough. You will NOT regret it.

ies they had to offer for our weekend trip. I showed the bride to be the menu of options and she picked two of her favorite activites. Working with Betsey was amazing! She was very responsive to all my emails. Going through working out the details, to booking everything, to paying was so easy. When we arrived in Charleston everything was taken care of, I never had to worry once. She even provided a spreadsheet that broke down all the costs and split it between the party guests. If you are having a bachelorette party in Charleston I highly suggest your starting point be contacting Betsey!
I don't have enough great things to say about Betsey and Pop the Bubbly! I was planning a bachelorette weekend in Charleston & Isle of Palms for 9 girls, and had no clue where to b...
egin for restaurants, transportation, etc. I stumbled upon Pop the Bubbly on Yelp and reached out and was immediately given all the help I needed! Betsey had tons of services to offer, including full packages of events, but she was also just as helpful with my more "a-la-carte" needs. She made reservations for me, booked us a party bus, and checked with me multiple times over the weekend leading up to the weekend. She truly made the weekend wonderful and very stress-free for me! I will 100% use her anytime I'm back in the south with a group of friends for anything!!

Betsey went above and beyond my expectations during the days leading up to and on my wedding day. She was enthusiastic, efficient, and extremely thoughtful in every detail of the ...
planning process. She helped bring to life ideas I had but weren't totally sure of how to execute. On the actual wedding day I was blown away by how easy she made it for me, my husband and our family--If there were any issues, I would have no idea because from my perspective: the evening was completely flawless. Everything ran in order and the room, which she worked with our vendors to set up, looked stunning even beyond what I'd imagined. She added a level of positive energy, levelheadedness, and warmth to the planning process.
If you get the chance to work with Betsey and her team, you will NOT regret it. Aside from being a total pro, she's also just a really fun and wonderful person.
We hired Betsey to help with our wedding at Magnolia Plantation and she was AMAZING! We literally called her our life savor because without her, our wedding wouldn't have been as p...
erfect as it was! She nailed down all of the details, coordinated the entire day, kept us calm and was so attentive to anything we needed! She told me not to worry about anything, and she was 100% correct - she took care of every single detail and did it perfectly! Not to mention she was so much fun to work with, her laugh is infectious and she helped give us the wedding of our dreams! Hands down best decision we made, hiring her!
Pop The Bubbly was the best decision I made booking a bachelorette party!
Betsey was super detailed and planned an amazing weekend for 14 girls. She organized brunches, dinners, p...
rivate chef, a wine tasting which was all booked & pre-paid for beforehand.
My favorite part about the service, was we sent an extremely long list of groceries & alcohol to be purchased before hand and dropped at our rental house prior to our arrival. We arrived to a fully stocked fridge and a liquor collection that would make anyone impressed.
I HIGHLY recommend using PTB for an events in Charleston.
Thank you again, Betsey! :)
BOOK BETSEY WITH POP THE BUBBLY AS YOUR WEDDING PLANNER!!!! I can NOT say enough WONDERFUL things about Betsey! I will admit, when I first got engaged I naively thought that I coul...
d plan it all. It wasn't until I started talking to other people who had just been married that I realized I didn't have the know-how, let alone time, to plan something this important on my own. I had heard great things about Betsey from others and contacted her. HAVING BETSEY AS MY COORDINATOR WAS ONE OF THE BEST DECISIONS I MADE FOR MY WEDDING! I never stressed over the wedding, LITERALLY never! I know that the fun I had planning my wedding is largely due to how easy Betsey made wedding planning. First of all, she is extremely prompt with all of her responses. Be it text, email, or phone call, Betsey ALWAYS responded so quickly!!! For instance, one night I composed an email with over 10 questions (some with 3 questions per each question!) and even addressed the e-mail "Good Morning" expecting her to respond the following day with the responses and she responded in 20 MINUTES!!! This is just one of the MILLION examples of Betsey going far above and beyond I could ever imagine for a planner. She came to our tasting and my bridal shots. She is very well-informed of all things weddings, knows almost everyone in Charleston so can make a phone call or shoot an email to someone in minutes if you have a question about something, and is such a pleasure to be around. She has a fun, bubbly personality that just helps to keep the wedding planning process smooth and easy!!! Betsey helped pick out all the designs and as a result, my wedding was GORGEOUS! It literally looked like something out of a magazine!! Betsey thinks of EVERYTHING (heaters, bug spray, blankets so guests don't get cold, different colored water goblets than plain glass so that the decorations stand out, etc.) Betsey sent out a timeline for the day of months in advance and would edit it as itineraries changed and send it to me for approval. She was ALWAYS on top of it. She never missed a beat, her ideas are fantastic and the girl knows how to throw a party. Everyone had a blast at the wedding and it went so perfectly. My husband and I couldn't be more thrilled with the fun and service we received with Betsey. The list goes on and on! PLEASE BOOK BETSEY! YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!!!
Betsey did an amazing and fabulous job for my bachelorette party. She had multiple events planned and catered. My friends and I had a memorable weekend that we will never forget. ...
I didn't have to worry about a thing. She had everything under control the entire time. We did a wine tasting tour and visited 3 vineyards. We had a wig party where we all got to choose a wig, get our tarot cards read, and make-up done. It was truly an amazing time. We all had never been to Austin, Betsey made it amazing! She knew all the hotspots and great restaurants. I can't thank her enough! She will also be coordinating events the day of my wedding.
Thank you Betsey, your an amazing event coordinator and I couldn't of done it better myself!!!!!!!!!!
