I didn't worry

Working with Sydney was a dream. I have lots of anxieties, so I tend to be a pain.
Sydney walked through every step, made sure I was comfortable with the decisions made, and would 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.

The Best!!

Popped Event Planning was the perfect coordinating team for our wedding! Our planner, Crystal, was kind, professional and an essential piece of the puzzle that made our wedding day 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.

worth every penny

Popped events was great we had Tara and she was on point, knew what she was doing and took care of it all! Like most weddings little things come up and Tara was there to handle it, from setup, to ques for the ceremony and reception, cocktail hour, vendor management and clean up. Gave her a list and photos of setup and she made it all come to life. She was a resource of help before the big day, they kept everything organized for us and did a great job working with our other vendors. My Groom was particularly impressed by the little things she handled under the radar so quickly to make our day go without a hitch. Im type A (tend to micromanage) it was nice and weird to know she had everything taken care of and I could just focus on the day. I almost felt like checking on her to see if there was anything I could do lol! We even got this cute cookie box with our names and wedding date. Hopefully I never get married again but If I do Id hire Tara/ popped events again. It really is valuable to have someone who knows how things should flow and what you can press on.

Hiring Sydney is the BEST decision you can make!!

If you are planning a wedding, you should run - don’t walk – to Popped Event Planning. Hiring Sydney was truly the best decision we could have made. We got married this past October 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!!

Amazing Team!

The Popped team was great to work with. Very professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and personable. They made our day run so smoothly and they exceeded our expectations with making sure the layout we planned was perfect. Couldn’t have asked for a better coordinator. Shout out to Bridgette! Also they provide tools and recommendations that really helped with planning.

100% recommend Popped Events!!!

Crystal at Popped Events was an angel in heels. She was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was always there to answer a text, call, or email. Whenever I had vendor concerns she 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!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
