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!

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.

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 !!

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!!!

Put Janet/Pop the Cork at the Top of Your List!

Without a doubt, the most important piece of our wedding planning was hiring Janet! She was a delight to work with, the ultimate professional, creative, completely thorough, and brought added value to every transaction. She was always available and a tremendous help before the wedding and the "day of" - we couldn't have done it without her. Make your first task in planning your wedding - to hire the best there is - and it is Janet!

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.
