Pop the Champagne- Day of Coordination Experts

o your event. Our experience with PTC was less than satisfactory. After reading numerous reviews, we were confident they would do a great job. In hindsight, I wish we had researched coordinators experienced with larger weddings. We had 150 guests and held the wedding at the expansive Paramour Estate. We were assigned Taylor, and initially, everything seemed to be going well. However, after our first meeting and venue visit, her communication significantly declined. We expected PTC to manage vendor communications, but that did not happen. Taylor only collected COIs and inquired about vendor arrival times. She acted as an intermediary with the venue, but we often received quicker responses by contacting the venue directly rather than waiting for her to get back to us. 1.5 weeks before the wedding, we were anxious about finalizing our timeline. We didn’t hear from Taylor, and I had to reach out to schedule a meeting. She suggested chatting the following week, days before the wedding. This was unacceptable, as any significant changes needed to be communicated to vendors in advance. On the wedding day, Taylor initially planned to arrive at the venue at 12 pm, despite vendors arriving at 9 am and the venue opening to the bride and groom at 10 am. The purpose of hiring a day-of team is to manage vendor arrivals and address any issues, not to leave the bride and groom handling this on their wedding day. The wedding day was disorganized. We needed 18 tables, but due to miscommunication with the vendors, only 15 were provided. Taylor was supposed to manage the table layout and place the table cards. She knew the layout as we had discussed it prior. She set the place cards, so she should have been able to catch that 3 tables were missing in the morning. Thirty minutes before dinner, she rushed over to inform us that tables were missing. She suggested we do unassigned seating. I said no that will lead to more chaos. My husband suggested she find extra tables around the venue. The coordinator, should have found a solution, and not brought the problem to the bride and groom. Taylor failed to keep track of the previously discussed timeline. Dinner was scheduled to start at 6:15 with toasts at 7:15. By 8 pm, my family was frustrated that toasts hadn't occurred. We agreed to do the cake cutting and the hora before the photographer left. Taylor pulled my sister aside asking what time the cake cutting and hora were supposed to happen. THIS IS THE COORDINATORS JOB - she had to keep track of making sure these events happened before the photographer’s leave time. My family and I were drinking, enjoying the night, but Taylor kept asking SO many questions she should have already had the answers to. Inaccurate descriptions: “Unlimited communication throughout the whole process: We want to be a resource from day one. ” After our first meeting, Taylor was barely available. “Venue and vendor confirmations: After that in person meeting we take over as much vendor communication as possible.” Taylor only requested COIs and arrival times, failing to manage vendor communication as promised. “Direction of rehearsal” Taylor was absent during the rehearsal. While weddings can be inherently stressful and rarely go perfectly, the issues with PTC began a month before our wedding

m in your budget for a DOC. Even if you are on top of things and feel like you are great at planning, you really don't realize how much work will be required in the weeks leading up to the wedding and on the day of! It is the best gift you could give yourself, your partner, and your friends and family. You will be a much happier person with a PTC DOC supporting you! Before we were assigned to work with Karla, Allie was available and always got back to me super quickly with any questions I had! She also did a call with us to come up with a preliminary timeline. She had great advice and made us feel really supported. After being assigned to work with Karla, we had a wonderful in person meeting. We felt really comfortable voicing our wishes, concerns, and questions with her. She had great questions and advice and helped guide us through the final timeline process. Karla supported us at our final venue walk through, as well. She has a great relationship with the staff at our reception venue, which we feel like we definitely benefited from! Karla also made our rehearsal go so well and helped everyone to feel confident for the big day. She was so lovely, supportive, and helpful and we will feel forever grateful we got to work with her! As a pretty particular/picky person, it was hard to hand off all the decorations and trust someone else to make your vision come to life, but Karla and her assistant, Dani, did the most amazing job! The reception venue looked perfect! They really made it the perfect day and we could not be happier with how everything went! Also, feels important to add that Karla was so great with our families and guests. We also last minute added on the PTC Content Collector package for 6 hours. We are so thankful we did this! Kaiel was so friendly and fun! We have so many amazing videos to look back on now. They were delivered to us in a Google Drive the day after our wedding, which was amazingly prompt! Overall, 100% recommend going with PTC for your coordinating needs. It will make your wedding planning process so much easier!

verything felt effortless! They did not skip a beat. It was like we have two magic fairies with us! My husband and I will be eternally grateful to Meaghan and Dee for making our wedding day dreams come true. Our guests told us it was the best wedding they had ever been to and we owe so much of this to Pop the Champagne.

y DOC for my wedding at Ebell Long Beach, she said “Karla is experienced at your venue, organized and sweet and going to be your new best friend :)” and she was 100% right! She was assertive without being aggressive, which is exactly what you want in a DOC!! From the moment we met, I immediately got such a good vibe from Karla and felt so at ease - she was on top of everything, kind, and funny. After our first meeting, she sent over a full Google drive of resources and spreadsheets/documents to stay organized. I am a bit of a control freak/Type A person, but literally had no issue handing the wedding planning reins to Karla because I trusted her completely. Karla once told me that the couple is the biggest priority during a wedding, and her actions showed that. She always, always, always advocated for what I wanted, what I deserved, and continually checked in with me to see how I was feeling leading up to the big day (and even after!). She communicated the timeline and pertinent details to our vendors well in advance and was such a godsend in making sure everything ran smoothly. Furthermore, she set up all the decor beautifully and packaged everything at the end of the night, including details she thought we would want as a keepsake like our special cocktail napkins and newspaper programs. Her assistant, Kim, was also so sweet and helpful! My parents, now-husband, and I were so impressed with how she went above and beyond for us. Any bride/groom assigned to Karla is so incredibly lucky to have her as their DOC, advocate, and friend! We adore you, Karla!!!

pagne was the single best investment we made in our planning process and wedding-day experience. From our very first call to our wedding weekend, Allie went above and beyond. She was communicative, responsive, professional, offered expert advice and guidance, and was SO MUCH FUN to work with! She also crafted our day-of timeline, directed our rehearsal, and took over final vendor communication, so that all we needed to do on our wedding day was show up, relax, and enjoy. She masterfully executed all events on our wedding day, kept us on track and on time, and continually checked in with us, our vendors, and our wedding VIPs to make sure the vibes were immaculate. Our guests could not stop talking about how well everything flowed together at our wedding, and that could not have happened without Allie’s expertise and energy. Every engaged couple needs an Allie! Could not recommend Pop the Champagne more!

dding - and not only did the day go off without a hitch, but many of our guests said it was the best wedding they had ever gone to. We found their rates to be comparable to other coordinators we talked to and coming in month-of was the perfect amount of time. We met with Taylor about 6 weeks out to go over details, and from that point on we didn't have to think once about vendors, timelines, contracts, or administrative work. She was incredibly professional and organized throughout the weeks leading up to the wedding, giving us everything from checklists to reassuring hugs as the nerves began setting in. To describe just how much they went above and beyond - Taylor even ran to a bodega down the street as our guests were arriving to buy a beer that we wanted to give my uncle as a gag gift, but had forgotten. Weddings aren't exactly a "do it again" event but if you're looking for a coordinator--I would hire PTC in a heartbeat. Forever thankful for Taylor and her team and everything they did to make our wedding day feel like a fairy tale.

omeone who is genuine in the wedding industry. In the months leading up to the wedding she provided resources to help us, was always available to help when we got stuck on anything or had any questions, and helped wrangle the vendors. On the wedding day we didn't worry about a single thing - the Pop the Champagne team is so professional and experienced, they moved everything through the day so seamlessly we didn't even notice it happening. Allie and her team also brought a great energy to the day and helped remind everyone that this is a day to celebrate, not worry about little things. I would 100% recommend Pop the Champagne!

ervice. It's a good amount of leg work for you gathering vendors, contracts, plans, etc, but when you hand everything off to Allie 2-3 months prior she takes it all and runs with it. I felt so at ease with her running everything and with how organized she seemed. She was super familiar with my venue and it was a great feeling. On the day of our wedding, she was perfect. She handled everything and you literally don't have to worry about a thing. She's so on top of it! 100% recommend Allie as your wedding coordinator! A million thanks Allie!!

nation wedding and wanted to be sure that we would be able to relax and really enjoy the weekend so having a day-of-coordinator was one of our top priorities. Allie really delivered! Everyone kept saying I was being such a “chill bride” and it’s all thanks to her. We seriously had the best weekend and I wouldn’t change a thing. If you’re thinking about hiring a coordinator- just do it. And if you’re in the SoCal area- hire PTC. You won’t regret it.

t like we could trust her! She communicated with us and our other vendors frequently and also helped us make logistical decisions for our day. She's extremely approachable but knows how to get things done! Lastly, she made sure we both always had drinks in our hands and food in our bellies at the wedding! She was a joy to work with.

all of the pertinent information for our wedding day to ensure that literally every single base was covered should anything happen, and as a result, I literally worried about NOTHING on my actual wedding day! Which is a total feat, just ask my husband lol. Not only were they super fantastic to work with, they were just amazing humans!! We felt like Karla was our number one advocate for us leading up to our wedding and on the day itself. And on our wedding, both she and Taylor were everywhere at once making sure everything went super smoothly. We will be forever grateful to them and PTC, and cannot recommend them highly enough!

r your wedding and your sanity. For an extremely reasonable price, you get so, so much: resources (like recommended vendors and guidance for stocking the bar), unlimited contact (to ask any and all questions and even have vendor contracts reviewed), and then everything you’d expect from a day-of coordinator — they step in and make sure everything is good-to-go leading up to the wedding, run a rehearsal (and are super flexible about time and place), and then handle the big day flawlessly (so flawlessly that you barely notice they’re doing things). Best of all, the vibes: there is zero judgment. We’re a queer couple who did some very traditional things (walked down the aisle with parents, had a first dance, etc.) and avoided others (no bridesmaids, bouquet toss, cake cutting, etc.). We felt completely comfortable with Allie — she has truly seen it all, so whatever kind of wedding you’re planning, she’s game. She also took great care of us on the actual day by making sure we had everything we needed, taking care of anything that came up, and making sure we ate and drank. We recommend listening to her podcast to get a sense of who she is and then booking immediately.

d from the moment we met her at the walk-through to the end of the wedding itself, she went above and BEYOND. She took over all of the contracts and communication with our vendors, and handled it flawlessly. She was also so quick to respond to any questions we had, and to alleviate or strategize any potential stressors. As a person, Carolyn is so sweet and positive, and her energy carried across the entire day. I honestly can’t even imagine what our wedding would have been like without her. We are so unbelievably grateful to have had Carolyn by our side, executing and organizing everything like the ultimate pro she is. We also want to give a shout-out to Allie, who was so supportive and kind to us from day one. We got engaged and started planning in 2019, so it goes without saying that COVID changed everything. Allie was there for us, and helped us figure out a game-plan to postpone over a tearful (on my part lol) phone call. You can just tell that the company has the best people, and a DOC is one of the most important vendors you have to find. We are so lucky to have worked with Pop the Champagne, and specifically with Carolyn and Allie. You ladies rule!

the wedding without putting our wedding party and family to work the entire wedding. I’d HIGHLY recommend Pop The Champagne to help coordinate your wedding. I’m the months/years leading up to the day, you can reach out to them by email. Then just before the wedding, your coordinator is available by text to answer all your questions. They work with great vendors and really help relieve the stress of the big day! Carolyn and Dee not only took care of the event coordinating, they made sure my husband and I ate, AND looked after our family! Please make the smart choice and hire Pop the Champagne!

ng to my husband and I. They made everything run smoothly, made quick decisions on the fly that always seemed to be the right ones, and even put up with my moments of admittedly irrational panic with kindness, grace, and much-needed humor. Carolyn was a pro at wrangling my bridal party and making sure that everyone was exactly where they were supposed to be at exactly the right time. I’m confident that my wedding would not have been nearly as beautiful or run as smoothly without Carolyn there. I was able to enjoy my wedding and somehow the pieces fell into place. Ok, not somehow…they fell into place BECAUSE of Carolyn and Danielle. Book Pop The Champagne immediately if you want your wedding to run like a well oiled machine!!

designed the most beautiful, organized timeline. She remembered every single detail. I was so shocked to come home and see she had packed up things I never expected to see again - down to the pens used to sign the guest book and the escort cards!!! It felt so special to see that we still had those small little details to hold on to forever. I can't describe enough how calm I felt the week before the wedding and on the wedding day knowing Karla and her team were there. There were so many things she thought of that made the day flow flawlessly, like breaking up the speeches, how long the first dance should be, I mean she's seen it all and gives the absolute best advice. Karla made me feel so supported and special. I don't know how she does it! Thank you SO MUCH PTC! Because of you, we have so many amazing and beautiful memories of a perfect day.

immediately hit it off. She's hilarious and had a way of making me feel at ease. The docket of organizational tools and forms she provided for me to fill out helped me quickly solidify my timeline and identify holes I hadn't yet noticed. She was always quick to respond to emails no matter what time of day I sent them. Right away, she had my utmost trust that no matter what happened, she would handle it. The day of the wedding, Karla and Liz kept the show running seamlessly. I was able to completely relax and enjoy the day I'd been looking forward to for three long years. They kept a drink in my hand a smile on my face the whole night. If I could go back in time and experience this day again (sore feet from dancing and all), I would, because they made it so easy for me. But here's the most incredible thing they did: Karla Alvarez and Pop the Champagne saved my entire wedding. Two days prior to the big event, TWO DAYS, our caterer unexpectedly cancelled. Karla and Allie worked nonstop to find us a replacement via all the connections that they've gathered over their years in the wedding industry and found us an AMAZING caterer, Ricardo's Catering, in less than 24 hours. The menu they came up with was delicious; our guests are still raving about the food a week later. Karla also made sure I got 100% of my deposit back, plus some extra for the caterer's breach of contract. I'm so, so happy that I had them on my side. Seriously, if you're looking for a coordinator, Pop the Champagne is the best of the best. The topper of the cake. The star on my garters and the flower on my arch. I could not be more grateful or feel more lucky to have found them.

e was a lot happening behind the scene that she took care of: vendor logistics, guest coordination, decor and bar setup, to name a few. It would’ve been too much stress and effort to handle it all by ourselves. Because of Karla, we were able to fully enjoy the big day. Even our guests were impressed and raved about her! I was on the fence about hiring a coordinator and I’m so, so glad we did. Thank you Karla and PTC :)

relax and dance the night away while she quietly and calmly handled all that came up during the evening behind the scenes. She is the best and we are so grateful she was a part of the day. She is capable, professional, calming and fun!!

g - obviously we ran into a million changes and road blocks and adjustments to our plans between hiring and execution, and PTC were not only always available for reference questions and updates, but were literal fountains of information. We worked with Allie on the onset, and it's clear the passion and knowledge she has of this industry and why she's such a badass leader. Just about two months out from our wedding, Liz became our primary rep and was an absolute gem. My husband and I's background is in live events so we thought we were already in decent shape but Liz's organization, process, and wonderful personality helped make everything on our big day nearly perfect. She is incredible and we adored working with her. We couldn't be happier with PTC and highly recommend them to anyone in the LA area!!

d. Taylor even managed to work with our families and other vendors to coordinate a surprise performance by our favorite band without my husband or I knowing. On the day of, Taylor and Karla went above and beyond to make sure our wedding ran seamlessly, and we felt completely carefree and confident that everything would work out. We were able to really enjoy our day and not worry about the little details. We are a month out now, and we are still getting compliments about our wedding and how well it flowed. I can't stop recommending Taylor, Karla and PTC to everyone I know. Thank you for making our wedding so wonderful!

To be honest, we booked with POP a bit late in the game. With an original wedding date in the spring of 2020 and through multiple date changes and pandemic scares, we unfortunately (which soon became FORTUNATELY) lost our original coordinator and we had to scramble for a new one. With limited time and suggestions from friends/family, we relied on the power of reviews, social media, and just a gut instinct after a few phone calls on who to book with. My initial call with Allie gave me all the good vibes, but we still did not know who our actual lead would be for the day of. I must say, this made me a little weary as I am an obsessive reader of reviews and references; but I trusted Allie's judgment as an expert in her field that she would connect us with the perfect person for our 200 guest wedding and I cannot begin to explain how PERFECT Melissa was as our lead party animal! Melissa went above and BEYOND her call of duty as our "day of" coordinator. She came with me to multiple venue walk throughs, sat in on vendor calls, touched base with me in the months leading up to the big day, and was consistently on top of all other vendors and timeline coordination. This was definitely not a part of her expectation, but it's just how Melissa rolls. She was not going to miss an opportunity to make sure she was always in the loop to ensure the most epic wedding. When the big day finally arrived, I was not the anxious bride I anticipated myself to be; solely because I knew Melissa had it all under control. We had a few uninvited guests show up, ran a bit behind schedule at times, had to rearrange a few seating situations, but unless I absolutely needed to know, I had no idea if there were any behind the scenes debacles because Melissa handled it all with grace and ease. I occasionally would see Melissa being bombarded with questions from family, guests, wedding party, etc. and I can honestly say I never once saw her flustered, annoyed, or overwhelmed by any of it. She is an expert at her craft, a true professional, who also knows how to have a good time and make a good time! We could not have asked for a better wedding/party and that is in great part thanks to Melissa! Clearly, we take reviews seriously as we heavily rely on them whenever we book ANYTHING. So if you needed any reassurance at all, you will not go wrong with Melissa, Allie and their team at Pop the Champagne! Thank you again for the best night of our lives!!!

or team was incredible). Allie was incredibly responsive to all my emails/requests/texts - which I found not to be the case with some other people we inquired with, as well as some of our other vendors. She knew her stuff re: wedding industry and helped us pull together the BEST possible team. She was fun, calming, and totally patient with my type-A tendencies. After Covid made our welcome reception fall through, she helped us plan an incredible party the night before our wedding with around a month's notice. Best of all, we had the most incredible wedding day - it was truly seamless in terms of timeline, vendor delivery, and every small detail. Allie helped pull this off and I could not be more grateful!! My bridesmaids loved her too :) Simply put: if you're planning a wedding in Southern California, hire this team in a second! You will not regret it!!!

every penny. In about 3 months we threw together a pandemic hybrid wedding (~20 guests onsite with another ~150 on Zoom). Through every twist and turn, Allie had our back and guided us masterfully through the process. Since we were planning from out of the area (living in the Bay Area but getting married in SoCal) we had to lean heavily on Allie's expertise and she didn't let us down. She helped us find, negotiate, and coordinate with all the vendors, switch venues mid-way through the planning process, work through all the nitty-gritty details, and come out with a fabulous wedding we were super happy with. We were so lucky to have her help and can't imagine having pulled our wedding off without her!!

what kinds of decisions I'd have to make and how to find the best vendors and everything as it was, even before COVID-19 hit! Allie helped guide me through literally moving our entire venue two months before the wedding and doing it flawlessly. She took over vendor communications a few weeks out, helped me think through every minute of the day and plan accordingly, and still made sure that my husband and I had time post-ceremony to be alone and soak it all in (she even brought us champagne to enjoy)! She is everything you'd want in a wedding day-of coordinator: flexible, kind, funny, go-with-the-flow, and able to take complete control of a room. Allie is experienced and capable beyond belief. She even has her own podcast with advice for budgeting and planning the early steps of a wedding, which I was definitely in need of when first trying to tackle planning. The best thing you could do for your wedding, whether it be at a venue or in your own backyard, is hire Allie. She even just started the Backyard Wedding Collective which helps couples navigate throwing more intimate backyard weddings which is perfect for anyone considering downsizing their wedding plans OR figuring out how the heck to get married right now. If you think you are a good planner and have everything under control, I would STRONGLY urge you to hire Allie to put to rest all the worries from "should I book this vendor?" to "oh my gosh the best man wants to pull a prank during the ceremony help!" Allie will shut. it. down. (thanks again Allie)

oordinator since my venue came with a day-of. Let me tell you, it was the best investment and worth every penny. I was so stress free and cool as a cucumber on my wedding day because Allie and her team had everything so organized and under control. She kept all of the wedding party on schedule and in line, was our go-to for any and every question or concern. She took such a huge weight off of our shoulders. A little back story- my fiancé and I had planned our dream wedding. Two weeks prior to our event, our venue canceled our reception due to county Covid regulations. We were devastated and unbelievably stressed as we needed to quickly find a plan B. Allie was such an incredible help! She kept me calm and collected and let me know that we would work something out! She got right to work reaching out to food/beverage vendors, rental companies and other local venues for space. She has a great reputation in the business and is respected by all. Because of her suggestions, we were still able to have the wedding of our dreams! We can’t thank Allie and her team enough! She is loud, fun and a party in a bottle! We can’t recommend Pop the Champagne Events enough!!!

handful of coordinators, and PTC boss lady, Allie, was the only one that we clicked with. She was raw, experienced and looking through PTC's IG page, their weddings looked downright FUN! We booked PTC about 14 months in advance and although they are just month-of coordinator, I felt that they were way more than that. During my whole wedding planning process, Allie was always there to answer my one-off questions and provide valuable resources to guide me in the right direction. And then in the middle of my planning, she came out with her OWN PODCAST *mind blown*. Her podcast episodes addressed almost every one of my concerns and probably prevented a lot of more back and forth emails from me (so kudos to you, Allie!). Allie ultimately assigned herself to us about 3-4 months out and immediately took over the reins of logistics. We had our first venue walk-through with most of the vendors, and she arrived super organized and ready to attack any questions coming her way. We also met for about an hour afterwards to discuss timeline and honestly, she just seems like one cool chick and someone who I'd love to grab a drink with. As we approached the big day, Allie was there to answer my questions and bounce ideas off of each other to find the best solution. The last 60 days of wedding planning is definitely the most stressful and Allie was my savior during this time. On the big day, i can honestly say that I was not stressed one bit. I knew wholeheartedly that Allie had everything under control and it really put the cherry on top when several vendors commented to me that we were either ahead of schedule and that this was the most "relaxed" wedding they ever worked. This really touched me, because we really wanted our wedding to flow organically and wanted everyone to have a good time. We are so, so grateful to her taking for taking the reins of our wedding day and letting us truly enjoy the day with our loved ones. The hype is real, our wedding day was perfect and we couldn't thank Allie more for it!

hey were so supportive and helped to relieve the stress of dealing with last minute vendor issues. And of course during the wedding Carolyn protected us from the wedding madness and made sure we had time alone :) We are so grateful for their help!

er how great you are at wedding planning, you're going to need someone like Allie to knit all your plans together and execute on the day-of. We weren't originally considering a coordinator, but our venue required it, so we found Allie, a straight-forward, no bullshit, boss lady and immediately pulled the trigger. When you know, you know, and she was absolutely excellent. We booked her about a year out from our wedding knowing that her services wouldn't kick in for many months, but even in those interim months, she answered every email within 24 hours. We used her preferred vendor lists and rental tips to get all our big rocks situated. When it was time to pass over our plans to her, we felt total confidence. My mom commented that she noticed a newfound lightness and ease in my demeanor when Allie came onboard. Here's a few of the million things she did for us: 1. built and implemented a super detailed timeline of the entire day, starting w/ Hair/Makeup and ending with final venue walkthrough after vendor strike 2. confirmed vendor arrivals and deliveries throughout the day 3. set up and took down all our decor 4. helped us figure out how to best use our venue's mega cinema screen, which ended up in every single photo, so that turned out to be really crucial advice 5. helped us adjust w/ vendors as we had last minute changes to the guest list 6. guided us towards pre-ceremony champagne to allow a cushion for guests to navigate DTLA traffic 7. gut checked us with vendor questions and menu selection 8. helped us pack away all our stuff at the end of the night so none of our family had to "clean up." 9. handled an overly sloshed guest. 10. made sure our marriage license was situated and filed! She did it all--made it so all we had to focus on was enjoying our day. Plus her new podcast is SO helpful. Allie/Pop the Champagne is the gift that keeps on giving. Buy yourself this gift. It'll be the best thing you do for yourself throughout this process.

e last few weeks of wedding planning can get so overwhelming, but she made sure to take the reigns so I didn't have to sweat the small stuff. When she says she is the first one at your event & the last to leave - she means it! Book her now! You will be so grateful!

ls within 24 hours (or faster), texts, meeting in person, phone calls, etc to make sure everything we wanted was done and taken care of. She is extremely organized and makes you feel like you are truly a star with the amount of effort she puts towards your special day. She made our wedding run smoothly, from the moment I arrived at our venue on our wedding day. Bringing the girls in my wedding party (and myself, the bride) water, adjusting the temperature of the room, and making sure I was calm and relaxed. Throughout the wedding day, she would make sure everything was running smoothly and even helped make announcements. She also plans entire weddings for people, so if you have a crazy work schedule and need someone to help you plan your wedding from scratch- give her a shout, you won't regret it. Liz- I wish you all the best and please know that you helped make our wedding day amazing, not just for me and Alex, but for our entire family and friends.

s in her wedding dress" and she was right. There is so much to be done the week of, and day of. No matter how organized you are, you 100% need someone to manage it for you. Allie coordinated our wedding with assistance from Lindsay and we can not say enough incredible things about Pop the Champagne. They are true experts who handled everything seamlessly and really brought my vision to life just how I pictured it. The day was a dream and we can't recommend them enough.

lanning process. First off, even though PTC only provides day of coordination, Allie went absolutely above and beyond what I expected. She was always available for all my questions and concerns, and after talking to her every time, I'd feel a million times better. As a perfectionist, I didn't think our wedding would go perfectly. However, on the day of the wedding, PTC was the reason our wedding went so smoothly and perfectly! I cannot thank you, Allie and team, enough for making the day of our dreams come true!

by her! Having a day of coordinator was one of the best decisions we made, I would 10/10 recommend this company.

eetest, most wonderful person to work with. I always knew she had everything under control. She made our wedding exceed the expectations we had.

ent money towards when it came to our wedding. We’ve been to dozens of weddings as guests, and you don’t realize how much you don’t pay attention to details as a wedding guest until you’re planning your own wedding. Multiple vendors were involved for our big day, and Allie made sure that all the vendors showed up on time and did what they were supposed to do. This was a huge relief for David and I because the last thing that we wanted to deal with on our wedding day were logistics. Leading up to the wedding, Allie was always available via email or phone which was amazing. Allie created our day of timeline, was there for our rehearsal, was there for our walk-through, and was also there for our final meeting with our caterer 24 Carrots. So even though Allie was technically a "day of" coordinator, she was involved with the wedding way more than just a day which was great! David and I honestly don't know what we would have done without her. Allie is super professional yet fun at the same time which made us feel much more comfortable around her. She reminded us to have fun on our wedding day and I feel that we were able to because we knew that she had everything under control. I would definitely recommend her to anyone getting married!

didn’t want to put the stress and tasks on my family or friends – I wanted them to enjoy it all just as I wanted to. I had very specific expectations for our wedding day; I had planned it for months and secretly for years. When I found PTC off Instagram, I immediately was drawn to their website. They spoke my language, I felt like they would get me. I appreciated how straight forward everything was online and how helpful they were once we booked with them. I contacted them via email several times early on in the planning process; I had random wedding questions that I wasn’t sure of and they quickly and graciously replied and offered me advice. About a month before the wedding Allie started to take on communication with the vendors. I immediately gave up responsibility because I really wanted to just focus on other things and I promised myself that I would let her do her thing. By wedding day the vendors were all communicated with, arrival and set up times were accounted for, everyone knew what their roles and responsibilities were and our minds were at ease because she had it all under control. The rehearsal and wedding day went perfectly. There wasn’t one thing that I would have changed or that was out of place to me. We stuck to the timeline and she made everything happen the way we planned. I am forever grateful for PTC and Allie for making our wedding day and prep an absolute dream.

nd she was easy to work with. We would highly recommend her as a coordinator. Longer version: We were looking for a day-of wedding coordinator, and we had met a couple of coordinators and done a lot of online searching, but had never been super impressed by anyone’s professionalism. Then we found Allie’s Pop the Champagne. We arranged for some time to talk with her on the phone. My wife and I spoke with her separately, and we both came away from our conversations feeling that Allie was a super experienced, no-nonsense, zero-drama advocate for making sure our wedding happened in exactly the way we wanted. She asked all the right questions and sounded like she knew exactly what she was doing. Any scenario we posed she’d already had experience with. We liked her a lot — she seemed fierce, determined, bad-ass. So we booked her for our October wedding. After that, she checked in with us regularly over the next few months. She was always open to answer random questions we had about vendors and wedding etiquette, getting back to us promptly over email. No question was too big or too small or too annoying for her. There was no limit to the amount of communication. A few weeks before the wedding, we met with Allie at our venue to go over our whole plan. It was clear she knew exactly what she was doing. For the rest of the month, we were in frequent communication. She kept telling us, “Don’t worry, I will handle everything. Your day will be stress free.” We are natural worriers, so that was hard to believe. But she was right. She really made it so that there wasn’t a single thing to worry about. She handled everything. The day before at the rehearsal dinner, she took our wedding binder, along with a bunch of the decor we were using, and after that, we were in her hands completely. When we arrived at the venue, she had set everything up, arranged everything with every vendor, helped us distribute tips, etc. — there wasn’t anything for us to do but spend the day getting ready and visiting with friends and family. And during the wedding, she kept things moving and on schedule, making sure to give us some time together after the ceremony. She did it all, and we never felt rushed, stressed, or worried. She had everything under control. It was amazing. Allie’s great, and we recommend her to anyone!

ier that day. I was actually able to enjoy my wedding and not feel overwhelmed by some of the details. I would recommend her to everyone. She was a pleasure to work with.

ace every word in this review with the 100 emoji. Long version: My wife and I hired Allie from PTC as our day-of coordinator while we planned our LA wedding from France. We were organising all the different parts of the wedding separately (venue, food, rentals, etc.) so we needed to keep things organised. I can honestly say we could not have done it without Allie’s help. Over email she helped to recommend vendors, suggest quantities, give us advice, keep our plans on track, and just generally keep us sane. Once we arrived in California she met up with us at the venue, talking through our plan for the day, suggesting things we hadn’t thought of (and things we hadn’t even thought to think of) in terms of layout, rentals, direction for the ceremony… just everything imaginable. She built us a timeline for the day to help us schedule all the different moving parts we had going on. She answered all our questions about the scheduling and helped us to edit the exact timing according to our needs. THEN She helped us run through the ceremony at the rehearsal and made sure everyone in the wedding party knew exactly what to do. AND ALL THAT WAS BEFORE THE “DAY-OF” IN “DAY-OF COORDINATOR” ACTUALLY HAPPENED, I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH HOW GREAT SHE WAS When it came to the actual day she was there first thing in the morning (well before we were) and helped to coordinate (and yes, by “helped to coordinate” I do mean “coordinated”) all our vendors for the wedding day, leaving my wife and I free to not have to worry about a single thing. We just let Allie do her job and keep things ticking along. She got us where we needed to be, helped move people along, oh my god, oh my god, she was amazing, best coordinator ever. All the stress of directing and organising the day’s events was taken away from us and we could just enjoy our day (and cake) in newly-wedded bliss. Also I forgot to mention earlier but she has a great personality, was super easy to work with, and even managed to handle some of our more, uh, gregarious family members without breaking stride. Okay, if you are still reading this review and not throwing your money at Pop The Champagne I don’t know what to tell you, just go book them right now.

gne! Allie is a badass babe in charge and she made our wedding day move smoothly and efficiently. She perfectly executed the setup of our decor, she managed to wrangle our somewhat rowdy bridal party and our easily distracted family, and at one point we even saw her refilling guests' champagne glasses. She has an uncanny ability to know what you need the moment before you do. Aside from tackling every detail on the day of, Allie also helped review our contracts and organize our timeline in advance of our wedding. On at least one occasion, she read a contract we had received via email and sent me her stamp of approval before I even noticed the email chain. She is GOOD. Allie is also a pleasure to work with - she is super funny and can handle everything (and everyone) a wedding party throws at you with humor and grace.

clear in a way I didn't think was possible. They were an amazing resource during the planning, and made every effort to help us have the wedding day we wanted. Our day ran BEAUTIFULLY, and Jamie made sure we were able to kick back and really enjoy ourselves. And, they've arranged a service to help Brides connect to swap wedding decor! Best idea ever. These talented women bring humor and experience to what could have been a really stressful time. Do yourself a favor and hire them now!!!

vailable for our day, but she assigned us to Jamie. Leading up to the wedding, our contract included unlimited email communication. We did email Jamie a few times with questions about décor and logistics and her answers were extremely detailed and helpful. Jamie did a great job coordinating with our vendors before the wedding and on the day of she arrived early and did a fabulous job setting up. Everything looked beautiful and most importantly, our day went off without a hitch. We were on, or ahead, of schedule the entire time, literally nothing went wrong, and we couldn't have asked for the day to be more perfect! While Jamie excelled at her day-of duties, we had some issues leading up to and after the wedding. First, we were told (by Allie) that Jamie would be checking in with us once a month up until the wedding, but that never happened. We only heard from Jamie when we emailed her with questions. We didn't mind, this was just a little confusing. When we met Jamie in person at our month-out meeting, she was friendly and enthusiastic but seemed disorganized. We had exchanged a lot of the information about our wedding with her before the meeting but when we met, it was as if she hadn't reviewed any of the information prior. Our contract also included the completion and filing of the marriage license. Jamie filed it, but unfortunately, a few weeks after the wedding, we got a call from the registrar’s office saying that it had incomplete information. We contacted Allie and Jamie to express our frustration, and Allie handled the issue very professionally and was very prompt to get the issue corrected. All in all, despite the bumps in the road, we had a positive experience with Pop the Champagne. We recommended them if you are looking for a day-of coordinator!

u need, but everyone told me I couldn’t do without it. Allie was recommended by our photographer, and after my now husband and I met with her, we fell in love. She anticipated all the questions we were already asking ourselves, from order of our timeline to how much booze to buy, and she even provided a recommended vendor list that saved us countless hours. She answered all my endless questions via email, all part of the package. A month out from the event, we had a check in meeting so she could help us make sure our timeline was doable, but she also helped calm our nerves. She was so much fun to work with from start to finish, but is also so organized and thinks to ask about every single little detail. Not only did she manage the wedding rehearsal, the day of the wedding she set up all our decorations, many in places we hadn’t even thought of, making the venue look beautiful. She made my DIY visions a reality. She and her assistant kept the timeline running smoothly-- from grand entrances to dinner to toasts, there wasn’t a hitch, and I’m sure it’s all because Allie was working her wedding fairy magic in the background. She corralled our giant wedding party with grace. No job was too small- we even saw her taking out the trash to make sure everything looked clean. All this without asking the bride and groom a thing, so that we could truly relax and enjoy our day. We really couldn’t have gotten through this day without Allie’s wisdom, guidance, and awesome organization skills. Hire Pop the Champagne immediately!

er to any future brides and grooms!
