Popped Event Planning

rovided. We worked with Bridgette starting 60 days out and she was absolutely incredible! She helped us to stay on track leading up to the big day and helped to answer any questions we had. We truly don’t know what we would’ve done without Bridgette. Bonnie assisted on the day of and was also incredible! Bridgette was very calm, organized, professional, and just an all-around joy to work with. Thanks to her, our entire day flowed seamlessly and anything that did come up was handled with ease. Every detail was handled with care, and we were able to just relax and be present, knowing she had everything under control. She coordinated with all our vendors, kept the timeline on track, and made sure every little thing — from the ceremony setup to the reception transitions — happened smoothly and beautifully. My dress strap broke at one point and Bridgette and Bonnie came in with a big kit of anything you might need (sewing kit, glue, safety pins) and we quickly figured out a solution so I was able to get back on the dance floor :) We are so grateful to Bridgette and Bonnie! If you’re considering hiring a day-of coordinator, DO IT! Popped Event Planning is a team of professionals and absolutely worth it!

I felt at ease and knew they would ensure that things ran smoothly. 60 days out I was partnered with one of the Popped coordinators, Bonnie, and she helped me stay organized, communicate with vendors, and make sure I had everything done that needed to be. She was so helpful through this 60 day process, site visit, and rehearsal. I felt so at ease going into the wedding weekend knowing that Bonnie and Sydney were going to be there every step of the way. And wow they absolutely exceeded my expectations in making sure everything was handled and running smoothly on the wedding day - I truly do not know what I would have done without them and am so thankful! Brides, if you are debating hiring a coordinator… do it! Popped Event Planning is well worth the money to take the stress out of your wedding planning and wedding day so you can focus on what matters most, celebrating with your friends and family!

l our wedding altogether but Bonnie worked very hard to make sure our wedding was possible. On the day of my wedding, I literally didn’t have to worry about anything because Bonnie and Sydney were both already on top of it. I would highly recommend Popped Event Planning for your next event and a big thank you to Bonnie and Sydney once again!

go off without a hitch. She and her assistant were so kind, even leaving a box of beautiful custom cookies at our gift table from the team. Their planning tools were so helpful in keeping everything organized. Crystal took time to get to know my fiance and I, our families and how gauging the time of assistance we were needing. Our ceremony and reception were at two different venues, so I was anxious thinking of how we would coordinate set-up in both places. Crystal took it on without a blink and both set-up and take down were extremely seamless. Genuinely cannot thank Popped Events for their part in making our wedding day a dream.

-of coordinator that suited our needs and personality. When we found Popped Planning and had our first meeting with Sydney, we knew it was the perfect fit. She made us feel so comfortable, even having not yet met our assigned day-of coordinator. As I booked each of our vendors, Sydney was happy to share her experiences and answer any questions, providing some much needed confidence in the vendor hunting process. Fast forward to two months before our wedding- Zarna steps in. From day one, Zarna was a rockstar- organized, professional and relatable. She addressed every concern, gave her honest opinions, and made plans to tie up any loose ends. With each meeting, I felt more and more relaxed knowing Zarna understood our vision and was working diligently to bring it to life. Unfortunately, three days before our wedding we learned of a local event that changed guest arrival time, parking, nearly all vendor services, cocktail hour location... the list goes on; truly a bride and grooms worst nightmare. Without hesitation, Zarna jumped in. She spent hours, day and night, on the phone consoling, planning, searching for solutions, sending emails, and contacting every single vendor. She truly did everything in her power to ensure our day was all that we planned it to be, despite the chaos. And did she ever. Bright and early, who is at my dressing door to assure me everything was under control? Zarna. At every turn, Zarna was there to keep us on tract, extinguish any fires (literally), and bring us anything and everything we needed (late night dancing slippers included). There’s genuinely no words to thank Zarna, and Popped Planning for everything they did to make our wedding the most wonderful, memorable day. As a type-A bride who thought she could do it all, trust me when I say you need Popped Planning on your team. I could have never pulled it off without them!

on than we expected to receive prior to our wedding. So that made us feel a lot more comfortable thus we could focus on other things. On the day of the event Crystal was on site so early that nothing could go wrong and there was plenty of time to set everything up. She did a great job coordinating everything ahead of time with all vendors and the venue. I was observing the whole process while my bride was getting ready and I knew it was all going well. I am glad we used Popped services, as there is no way we would take care of everything ourselves. We could concentrate on our special day and enjoy it completely. I would totally recommend Popped Event planning as we definitely received an amazing service!! Couldnt be any happier with all the attention and support and just great individuals working with us on our special day!! Thank you Crystal and your team!!!

On the day of, the Popped team was almost invisible while being very effective. Our wedding day went off without ANY noticeable issues. Popped made the wedding planning a breeze and our wedding day even breezier!

ee from the get go. And shout out to Nicole for the additional support! With their help, the day was incredibly smooth and perfect.

fully, reading our review will make your choice a little easier! We met with Sydney first and explained our wedding vision and our needs. She was so easy to work with and we immediately knew we were talking to the right coordinator. At our 60-day mark, we were introduced to Crystal who was taking over our account. We were only skeptical about this change in staffing until our first phone call. Crystal was as sharp as Sydney and we absolutely loved working with her! She worked around our weird schedules to get the 3 of us on a phone call together. She recommended some great vendors to fill in the gaps on our entertainment. The website they use (Aisle Planner) was such a gem in keeping all of our information in one spot + Crystal helped get some information in there to our benefit. On the wedding day, Crystal checked in with us early in the morning just to say hey. By the time we saw her at the venue, she had already done so much setting up. She made sure the timeline ran smoothly. When a family member was delayed for the ceremony she made sure to communicate with us if we should wait or move along (bless her, gramps is 99 years old he cant miss this!). She had a drink waiting for us at the end of our ceremony exit. She made a plate of food for us. She really just nailed the assignment. We truly felt like royalty on our special day. If you are weighing your options on the right coordinator, look no further, you will not regret it. Tell Sydney you want to work with Crystal! 😉

zed that for the day of our wedding, we would definitely need some help! We worked with Crystal and she was amazing from day one! I trusted her fully and it was so nice knowing that all of the little details, and everything on our big day would be handled. She quickly alleviated my panic on a few occasions, and the morning of our wedding I was completely stress free and I could just enjoy the moment (for that alone, I am very thankful!) Crystal and Jesmen were an incredible duo, and I would highly recommend any future brides to consider working with the Popped Team!

m into the perfect reality. She took time to understand what was really important us — her suggestions always seemed to be exactly what we were trying to describe! We tell all of our friends that are planning weddings that the best money we spent throughout our wedding process was on Popped Event Planning services, and nothing would have been possible without their help and creative expertise. I can’t recommend Popped enough!

ble about the options of vendors and local venues. She has creative ideas and is able to make it all happen with ease. She filled in so many parts I would’ve never thought about tending to. I really appreciated that she was always responsive and had clear communication. Nothing fell through the cracks. Our wedding day was full of ease, with Popped handling everything. I had no stress on our wedding day. I highly recommend you choose Sydney to work with. You will be in an experts hands, who can make anything you dream of for your wedding a possibility.

hey handled everything so beautifully and I couldn’t be happier! 10/10 would recommend!

portive. She helped us make hard decisions and even worked with my insanely type-a personality to make sure everything we imagined came to light. During our event, the Popped team executed our vision with top notch professionalism. Sydney and her team moved around flowers, corralled family, and reminded us to eat! We could not have had the same quality of an event without the Popped Event Planning team and we’re so grateful for all their help!

e was already on the phone with them. I had a few concerns with the venue and she had them fixed and handled before I could blink. The day of the wedding I started getting dehydrated and Crystal was there consistently checking on me making sure I was ok. Sydney the owner of Popped Events was also AMAZING to work with and always very easy to get a hold of throughout the process. If you are getting married in the Tampa area get on the phone and book Popped Events and request Crystal!

e could count on her for absolutely anything & everything! If we could do it all over again, we would choose Leah again!

ing, she was amazing. Everything ran smoothly with her coordination, and we had a spectacular day. Thank you for all your help and organization with the brides!

ning, to coordinating with vendors, managing everything on the day of, she was an absolute delight to work with. We're so sad that we won't have our schedule chats & check ins, but know she'll be in our hearts for years to come. Thank you so much, Sydney! We cannot recommend her enough!

le.From the planning stages to the big day, Sydney and her team was on point. Sydney took the stress out of wedding planning, we were the most relax couple. We didn’t have to worry about the anything. Our wedding day was a big success. I am forever grateful to Sydney and her team at Popped Event Planning for their hard work and dedication. If you are looking for an event planner, look no further, I promise you will not be disappointed.

d to working with her again in the future!

nners I spoke to could not. I knew at that moment, I needed this team to help execute my wedding day. I choose the month of coordination because I had my vendors and most of the details locked in. With month of coordination, you actually get your coordinator 3 months out! That is when we met Leah. I cannot say enough great things about Leah. She helped with my final details, coordinated changes with vendors, adjusted my floor plan/rentals to accommodate a larger wedding for the space that we had, put together timeline and offered suggestions when needed. Leah was quick to respond, detailed, professional, and ALWAYS had solutions like Sydney did in my initial call with her. I would think of random things that other people worried about on their wedding day (card boxes/emptying cards in the box, handoffs at the end of the night, etc.) and Leah was always one step ahead of me and already had it taken care of/plan in place. Seriously, she is good at what she does! I ended up renting my flowers and decor from an online distributor and there was a lot of setup needed from the planning team. Leah and her assistant worked through all of the details and everything was absolutely perfect day of. I am so happy I went with Popped Event Planning and cannot recommend them more. They are thoughtful in everything that they do thought out the planning process and after. In one of our take home boxes, we had a letter from Leah and personalized cookies. The perfect touch we received after our wedding. My wedding day was perfect because of Leah. I did not stress about one thing and was able to enjoy it. Thank you Leah and Popped Event Planning!

r and she helped us plan the wedding of our dreams in less than FIVE MONTHS for over 200 guests. We are so grateful she took us on as a client. We were very stressed about planning a wedding in such a short amount of time for so many guests, but after our very first meeting with Sydney, she immediately took away every ounce of stress. Regardless of the questions, or multiple emails, she always made us feel as if we were her one and only client. Sydney worked tirelessly to ensure not a single detail was missed – she is incredibly organized and thorough. Every single vendor recommendation by Sydney exceeded our expectations. We were able create an amazing team of people who helped make our day absolutely perfect. When we spoke to different vendors and told them we were working with Sydney, the response was ALWAYS “We LOVE Sydney!” Sydney made the wedding planning process seamless and we could not have asked for a better experience. She ensured that our only focus was to take in and enjoy every moment of the process and our wedding day. Sydney is truly the Vincent Van Gogh of wedding planning - she seemingly effortlessly creates beautiful masterpieces that will never be forgotten. We cannot imagine a more professional, creative, warm, and brilliant wedding planner. We strongly recommend hiring Popped Event Planning for any of your wedding planning needs. Her expertise is invaluable and she will ensure your wedding exceeds all expectations. You won’t regret it!!

her to taking care of the setup and takedown of the gorgeous picnic. They also focused on the small details like arranging for cookies with our initials and printing out a small paper that listed the day of the proposal and day we met. I can’t recommend Popped enough and we will definitely be using them to plan our wedding!

completely perfect due to their help. The day was seamless.

that we could take in every second of our special day. Zarna and Sydney made that such a reality!!! From contracting onward Sydney was super personable. Zarna was like our fairy godmother, working in the background to make sure all of our little details were perfectly executed and appearing to make certain we were having a good time and ready for all of the nights special moments. She took such a good care of me and my husband. I don’t know what would I have done without both of these incredible women. Highly recommended.

gether. My fiancé and I were out of state and we were so busy this year with work but Sydney was able to help us be organized with everything. If you’re on the fence about using Popped Event Planning just do it! You won’t regret it!

ld just reach out to check in. She comes across unassuming and soft spoken, but she is on the pulse all things weddings. I felt that she had my back and was extremely responsive to me. I couldn't imagine working with anyone else.

Worth every penny!

gh. Her vendor recommendations make planning easy, she was able to take our vision and make it a reality! She was ready & available any time we needed a question answered or a full status run down and any issue big or small that popped up was resolved swiftly, almost before I could even stress about it! The most impressive part of Popped Event Planning was the execution on the day, Sydney was incredible! Truly in her element, she covered every detail of the event and made it seem easy. She anticipated my every need, staying two steps ahead all day long and managed to wrangle vendors, guests, family etc. From my perspective the day went off perfectly, without a hitch and I credit Sydney for that FULLY. I would absolutely recommend her and her team for any event planning & coordinating needs!

n! Zarna paid so much attention to detail with the setup and planning that it made the month leading up to and the day of our wedding stress free (as stress free as a wedding could possibly be, of course!) Zarna was down to earth and sweet throughout the entire process and was able to give us a ton of information about other weddings she’s worked with when it came to things we weren’t sure how to handle (down to how to incorporate additional family or how to modify wedding traditions that we were looking to avoid). This really was an amazing experience to work with them and I highly recommend them for anyone looking for assistance and peace of mind on your big day!

I appreciate all the hard work you put into make our day special. Thank you! again. Mary & Oscar Johnson

you at the next event! Can't wait!

come to life. I highly recommend her!

uld any bumps pop up, she'll get the problems resolved quickly and perfectly! You are in incredible hands with Popped Event Panning :)

ys pleasant. I really enjoy working with her.

rything on wedding day runs smoothy and effortlessly. I know that when she sends a client my way for their entertainment, that it’s going to be a great match. I always look forward to our events together and refer couples to Popped Event Planning all the time.

d so flawlessly), she was incredibly personable and my family absolutely adored her. She was also able to come up with creative solutions to problems, such as when we over-ordered alcohol by the venue, Sydney was able to figure out how to ship the excess up to us to enjoy in our home in NYC. She is absolutely lovely and made my life a lot easier. Things would not have gone half as smooth without her.
