Pop the Cork Designs

Where do I even start with Jenna & her team?! I originally reached out not knowing what to expect from hiring a wedding planner, well.... Panicked about linens? Called Jenna. Needed help with seating? Called Jenna. Had to complain about RSVPs? Called jenna. Think this will look tacky or great? Called jenna. Do these ideas match? Heyyy jenna! Last minute forgot something so important? Jenna. Just wanted to say hi? Called jenna. You get my point :) Basically, Jenna was my everything I needed her to be while planning. She was just a text, email, or call away to help with any & all things wedding! She was always honest, excited, & 100% happy to put my vision of my big day first. She scheduled everything out for my whole bridal party & all our vendors so that everything ran seamlessly the day of. She took control when it was needed & was always just where you needed her (along with her assistant, Megan!) If you're on the fence about a planner, look no further. Pop the Cork knows how to party & I promise you won't regret choosing jenna & her team. My only complaint? I don't have a daily reason to call Jenna now!

Hiring Jenna and her team was no doubt one of the best decision we made for our wedding! From the moment I spoke to Jenna and Jeanette, I knew Pop the Cork Designs was not only super organize and talented, but also a ton of fun to work with! Pop the Cork Designs was different than other planners we had considered because they truly got to know us as a couple, and were very professional while still being a TON of fun and not at all stuffy. When I needed last minute vendor advice or had a question about logistics, Jenna would respond super quickly. When I got a little stressed during our walk through a few weeks before the wedding, they told me not to worry about a thing, it would be perfect--they were right! They calmed my nerves and made sure every detail was planned from start to finish. On the day of the wedding, I didn't stress one bit, which no doubt was a result of having complete faith in Jeanette. Jeanette even offered to pick up things from our rehearsal dinner that we would need for the wedding the next day. She brought breakfast and lunch to our suite as my bridesmaids and I were getting ready. These are just a few examples of how they truly go above and beyond during all aspects of the planning process. I am certain our wedding would not have run nearly as smoothly or been as enjoyable if it had not been for the PTC team. They are incredible, and you certainly won't regret having them be a part of your vendor team!

I cannot imagine any worse. Very unprofessional. We had Jenna. I don’t like starting any review off like that, but it is our sincere opinion. We hired her for the "month of" not a full planner. She got involved earlier on then we expected, wanting to recommend vendors and we felt that that she got upset when we didn’t choose them. Fast forwarding to the days before the wedding. She came to our rehearsal at the church and less than half way through we realized she was gone, leaving her to not know what was necessary in the church and leaving her completely useless during that time of the actual day. Which made sense when she didn't even show up to the church. The day of the wedding was clearly the most important and where she fell the hardest in our opinion. Before the ceremony, Jenna's team arrived after some of our guests so our programs and some decorations were there later than we planned. After the ceremony, we had a list of photos to take with the bridal party and family. You can imagine it was quite chaotic with a 250 person wedding. Thankfully our wonderful bridal party jumped in and started doing some directing while Jenna was not even present (she sent three young ladies who we had never met). We took pictures during our cocktail hour. We requested there be some of the hors d’oeuvres during this but that did not happen. However, Jenna was seen eating at our cocktail hour. Leading into the reception as introductions, we were outside on stairs coming in. We had to guess when we should be coming in. It may not have been confirmed she would assist, but looking back we wish we had someone who thought of things like this to make our day flow seamlessly. There were multiple times throughout the day that my wife and I literally asked “What should we be doing.” One of those times we were completely alone walking the halls of our reception. When we cut the cake, she was nowhere to be found. Eventually someone told us she was in the photo booth. And as a matter of fact, she was and we have the multiple sets of photos to prove it. They came right after the only picture of the photo booth guy looking like he was testing it out when there was likely something important going on. Overall, we were not satisfied at all and still wonder what she did. We tried to contact her to discuss our disappointment. There were both a few emails and a few phone calls, a response to either or even a text message would have been nice. She never got in touch with us until we got a letter from her lawyer telling us we cannot contact her. When contacting the lawyer, all he said was that she feels like she did her job. If you see this post and come back to review it and it is gone, it is likely she got a lawyer involved to take it down. All we were looking for was a conversation and hopefully an apology. It still has never come. If you haven’t chosen your planner yet, we would not recommend it for you and your soon to be wife or husbands sake. If you have already chosen her but have some time, I would recommend backing out and calling only losing the deposit part of the wedding process. One positive is that the three young ladies she brought with her were sweet and helpful when asked for something.

Jenna and her team were without a doubt the best money we spent for our wedding. Jenna was so fun to work with planning for the wedding, and so incredibly helpful on our wedding day. Jenna and her crew arrived ready to work and did not stop working for one second, they made our wedding day a dream come true. I took on a ton of DIY decor and Jenna turned it into something magical and I could not have been happier with how it all turned out. Everything that day ran so smoothly and was so well organized, and best of all we got to relax and just enjoy the day! Thank you for the best day ever, we love the Pop the Cork team!
