Best wedding planner ever!!

Janet from Pop the Cork made our wedding day so smooth and stress-free, I can’t recommend her enough! Janet was so kind and supportive throughout the entire planning process—it felt like having a friend by my side who just gets it. Then on the big day, Risa’s attention to detail was next level. She made sure every little thing was perfect, and we didn’t have to worry about a single thing.

Because of them, we were able to fully relax and enjoy our wedding day without stress or distractions. They truly went above and beyond, and we’re so grateful. If you’re looking for planners who care about you and your vision, Pop the Cork is the absolute best!

The best!!!

We had the absolute best experience working with Janet! Wedding planning can be incredibly stressful, but having Janet by our side made the entire process feel so much easier, organized, and genuinely enjoyable.

I spent a while searching for the right planner, and what stood out most about Janet was how experienced, authentic, and trustworthy she was from the very beginning. She provided great vendor recommendations, was always quick to respond, and was happy to schedule calls anytime we needed guidance or had questions. She stayed on top of every detail throughout the entire process.

Beyond being incredibly organized and professional, Janet was also just such a kind and calming person to work with. She always made us feel supported and excited throughout the planning process. She gave thoughtful advice and honest opinions based on her experience, but never made us feel like our ideas were wrong. She helped guide us in the right direction while still making the wedding feel completely personal to us, which we really appreciated.

Janet coordinated seamlessly with all of our vendors and provided us with an incredibly detailed document leading up to the big day that covered every aspect of the event. On the wedding day itself, I was never asked a single question because she had everything handled.

One of the best parts of working with Janet was the peace of mind she gave us. I was able to stay relaxed and enjoy the experience because I trusted her to execute everything. We truly could not have done it without her and would recommend her to anyone looking for a planner who is experienced, responsive, organized, and genuinely cares about her clients and their wedding day!

Sage Wedding

We had an absolute pleasure working with Janet & her team at Pop The Cork Productions. We worked with Janet for about a year prior to our wedding date. Throughout this time period Janet was always available to assist with any questions or concerns we might've had. There was never a time we couldn't pick up the phone and call Janet, even if we were having a wedding planning meltdown.

One of things that stood out initially but really solidified itself the day of the wedding was her vendor choices. Once we shared our ideas & vision for the wedding, Janet came through with 2-3 dialed in vendors in each category. She advised why she chose each vendor to present to us and how they could add their own flair to our day. We truly felt like each of these vendors we chosen specifically for us, and not just because they're a friend in the industry. The vendors we ended up selecting truly made our vision come to life, which was hard to see at times after a year of planning, but they made it happen! We are forever grateful that Janet was able to connect the dots with these experts (all which had great things to say about Janet!).

We were already very happy with our PTCP experience, but once it was the wedding day the entire team excelled our expectations. The day of team (Janet, Gianna, and Kaytie) had everything running so smoothly to the point where our direct family & wedding party felt comfortable asking them for instruction & other various things throughout the night. We never felt like there was a moment where things could've gone better or that something wasn't being taken care of. We felt at ease all night and we truly were able to just enjoy the event we all worked so hard to achieve.

Any person looking for a planner that truly cares about you & your event, look no further! You are in good hands at Pop The Cork Productions.

Highly recommend!

We truly couldn’t have asked for a better wedding planner. From day one, she helped us choose the right vendors and kept us organized and on track the entire time. Her guidance made every decision feel manageable and thoughtful instead of overwhelming. Whenever I was stressed, she immediately calmed me down, helped me level set, and made sure I was right where I needed to be.

On the wedding day, everything ran seamlessly. If there were any issues, we had no idea. She handled every detail and quietly put out fires behind the scenes so we could be fully present and actually enjoy the day. That peace of mind was priceless.

She brought patience, kindness, confidence, and such positive energy to what can be a stressful process. We always felt supported and reassured, which made the whole experience so much more enjoyable. Our wedding truly was the best day of our lives, and so much of that is thanks to her dedication, professionalism, and calm presence.

We’re beyond grateful and would recommend her without hesitation.

Janet and Kaytie went beyond in making the vision for our special day come to fruition and we are forever thankful for them in making it such a seamless experience. Janet put us in touch with the vendors who helped bring our vision to life and her and Kaytie were point in connecting and making what can be such a stressful day as smooth as possible. My wife and I are forever grateful to the team at Pop the Cork and would recommend them to anyone.

10/10 Recommend!

If theres one thing you do for your wedding efforts that will make your live(s) easier, it's book Janet and her team. It's the best ROI you will see your money go towards. She is with you the entire way, ensuring you have a few options that make sense with what you are looking for, keeping all the ongoing puzzle pieces in line. She is committed to you as a couple and prioritizes what you want. Her team allows you to enjoy the chaos of planning a wedding! Kaytie was also such a helpful/calming presence for us. I included my inspo pics along with a few photos from our wedding to show how well they matched vision to reality (First 6 Inspo/ last 5 reality). I promise you, this is the easiest decision in the process you will make!! You will hear stories of other wedding planners being underwhelming, and this is simply not the story for Pop the Cork. 10/10 recommend !!

Queen Janet Took Care of Everything

Janet was an absolute lifesaver for our wedding! Planning a wedding in a different location seemed impossible, but Janet’s incredible kindness, organization, and talent made it not only possible but unforgettable. She handled every detail seamlessly, coordinating vendors and timelines with such ease that we could fully enjoy our special day without stress. Her warm personality and genuine care for our vision made us feel completely supported throughout the process. We truly couldn’t have done it without her, and we’re endlessly grateful for the beautiful day she helped create. Highly recommend Janet to anyone looking for a dedicated and skilled wedding planner!

Best in the biz!!

PTCP is one of the most detailed, efficient and thoughtful planners in the business. I cannot recommend them enough. Janet is a joy to work with and her team does an excellent execution job so you don’t have to lift a finger on your day! As someone that is very into details, I felt super comfortable passing my vision onto Janet and having her help make it come to life. THE BEST!!!

I had the opportunity to partner with Janet Finden for a clients milestone birthday party. The first thing that comes to my mind is impressive and very hard working. Janet came to this event with the highest of standards and the greatest of expectations for her client. And she delivered with such amazing results in the end. She transformed the clients home to a birthday extravaganza with catering stations and band and much more. The client was thrilled and working along side someone who is a great visionary that is also so organized, calm as well as fun to be around. For me as the floral vendor it was a pleasure. I look forward to many other opportunities to work along side such a professional planner.
