I don't even know how to adequately start this review because I have so many amazing things to say about PTC and Karla. When Allie emailed me to let me know Karla was going to be my 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. Kim, Karla's assistant that night, 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!!!

It feels wrong to only be able to give 5 stars to Pop the Champagne. Allie and her team brought our wedding to LIFE and we recommend her to anyone looking for wedding coordination. When we were searching for our wedding day coordinator, Pop The Champagne immediately stood out to us. They sounded bold and unafraid on their website and we loved that they worked with couples of various backgrounds. We were especially thrilled when Allie, the founder of Pop The Champagne, told us she'd be our coordinator. We were right to be excited because she delivered on all fronts. From 3 months before our wedding up until we left our venue happily married, she listened to our concerns, offered her expert advice on every decision that weighed us down, juggled our various vendors and chaotic family members with ease, and most importantly, figured out how to serve ice cream cake at our wedding. When planning a wedding, every complication can seem like the biggest hurdle. From the moment we began working with Allie, we felt a mountain lifted off of our shoulders. Even our guests noticed the difference that she and Karla made on our wedding day. We received so many calls and messages from friends and family the next day saying they'd never experienced smoother transitions at a wedding and that everything just flowed so seamlessly. Anyone who was at our wedding would agree that Allie was the MVP of the night. We are so grateful to her and anybody would be lucky to have her as their coordinator.

If we could give TEN STARS, we would!

We went back and forth as to whether we wanted to bring on a wedding planner or day-of coordinator, and believe me when I say – Pop the Champagne 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!
