Andrea L. Sent on 11/21/2022Color Pop Events = what dreams are made of
As soon as we booked our venue, the next vendor we booked was Leah. We got engaged in an unprecedented pandemic (aka June 2020) and were looking to plan a wedding and get married with fingers crossed that our wedding would actually happen. Cue Leah. She was the first planner that came up in my research that I loved on paper – diverse clients, perfect reviews, a detail oriented ex-lawyer, and literal pops of color in her events to boot. As soon as we did meet with her virtually, we know she was the one. She was kind, professional, and totally understood my vibe and the type of event we were looking for. Even with all the pandemic uncertainty, she took us on for a full two years later (October 2022). Throughout the planning process, she provided a ton of helpful tips, checklists, vendor suggestions, and general expertise. She never thought any of our questions were silly and she was THE most responsive vendor we had, hands down. In the few months lead up to our wedding she handled all of our vendors, coordinated everything, and came up with our comprehensive day of plan. Leah did everything to make things less stressful for us and super clear about what was needed from us. The day of our wedding, I was SO relaxed. Leah’s thoroughness, professionalism, and calm ‘I got this’ attitude left nothing for me to worry about. Our vendors were all vendors that she suggested or have worked with her before and love her and I knew that if anything went wrong behind the scenes she would handle it. Before, during, and after the wedding we had people GUSHING to us about how much they loved Leah, how professional she was, how kind she was. Our wedding party loved her and she made everything super clear. We were actually AHEAD of schedule for the day. My husband and I talk about this often, but she was an absolute lifesaver, worth every penny, and hands down best decision we made. We love Leah and are only sad that we can’t get married 50 times over so we can work with Leah again! -

Fabulous wedding planner
I’d like to think that I provided the high-level inspiration for my wedding, but Leah definitely provided the brains and execution. We could not have pulled it off without her. She was a calming, exceedingly competent presence throughout the entire process. She never pressured us on our vision. She was reliable, organized, provided great advice and, most importantly to me, turned out to be a great creative partner. She also introduced us to a bunch of stellar vendors in the NYC area. I interviewed A LOT of planners. Leah was clearly the top of the cohort and I never regretted the decision to work with her. Strong recommend.

Raquel B. Sent on 11/15/2021Couldn't have done it without Leah!
We simply could not have pulled off our beautiful wedding without Leah's planning expertise, vendor connections, and organizational wizardry! We knew we did not have the bandwidth to plan a wedding, given that neither one of us is particularly well-suited to event planning even in the best of non-pandemic circumstances. From our first interaction, when we were debating whether or not to even plan a 2021 wedding, she was sensitive, thoughtful, and, above all, honest. When we decided to work with her, we immediately felt like we could relax, knowing we were in more than capable hands. We relied on her to think of all the things that needed thinking of and to remember what needed remembering. She kept us on track while I was busy taking exams and graduating from grad school. She also helped corral other members of the family and was a voice of reason, reality, and sanity. Leah never judged us or pressured us to conform to wedding traditions or expectations that were not the right fit for us. She respected our priorities, and channeled our vision into a day that was more fun, beautiful and "us" than we imagined was possible. -

It is hard to put into words the impact that Leah had on our wedding, but all I can say is that if you have the chance to work with her – do it. I always knew I wanted to work with a wedding planner because the idea of planning it myself, even under normal circumstances, was overwhelming to say the least. Little did I know that we would then have to postpone our entire wedding due to COVID. I cannot imagine doing that with anyone but Leah. She was calm and collected the whole time and walked us through the process step-by-step. She made sure to check in just to see how we were doing, even if we didn’t have anything wedding-related that we needed to discuss, and made it feel so much more manageable.
Leah has an amazing network of connections in the wedding industry, and you can’t go wrong with any of her referrals for vendors. Leah is bubbly, funny, smart and quick – and her legal background is immensely helpful with all of the contracts that need to be read, negotiated and signed in the process. If you are looking for a wedding planner, whether for full planning or just day-of, look no further than Leah.

Working with Leah last year was a highlight from my 2019 wedding photography season. Weddings are a collaborative celebration/play/mini-series/life-changing event orchestrated between the couple, their families, wedding planner, and all the vendors involved.
Leah put together a phenomenal vendor team for Karen and Peter’s wedding at 501 Union in Brooklyn last August. She then enabled all the talented vendors involved to excel at their given tasks. She listened to my needs as a photographer and made sure that I would have a proper timeline and structure to get the photos that I wanted to deliver to the couple. It was a treat to work with her because I was able to solely focus on taking photos, and not also coordinating the wedding, which so often falls on photographers when there is either no planner, or a lackluster planner.
Which Leah is not.
She’s professional, meticulous, calm, dedicated, and thoughtful. She also has one of the most playful design spirits in the industry and it’s always a delight to see her creations.
She is an incredible wedding planner who takes tremendous care of her couples, and also vendors, creating a gorgeous canvas for a fantastic wedding experience. -

Jessica L. Sent on 06/02/2019Radiates competence and calmness
When selecting a planner, Leah was the obvious choice for three main reasons. First, her down to earth and warm demeanor immediately made us comfortable and confident that she would be easy to get along with and be able to calm our planning anxieties. Other planners we interviewed seemed forced or overly bubbly. During interviews, other planners also made assumptions about what kind of wedding we wanted and how we'd use a planner, whereas Leah made it clear she was skilled at handling many different types of weddings and any vibe of couple.
The second reason we went with Leah was her experience dealing with queer weddings. She had the sensitivity and know-how to use appropriate language and ask the right questions. The third reason was how Leah packages her services. We liked that she offered a level of involvement that could save us some money and also allow for collaboration, rather than other planners who cost more and who seemed eager to take over.
We clearly made the right choice. Working with Leah was such a breeze, and made the whole planning experience SOOO much more comfortable. There were the practical benefits - connections with great vendors, creative ideas, keeping us on schedule. And then there were the emotional benefits - Leah was always on it behind the scenes, monitoring everything, helping to keep us calm, and intervening when the occasional vendor started to get on our nerves.
We couldn't recommend Leah enough. In those stressful pre-wedding months that come with juggling not just tasks but lots of people, it was amazing to have such a nice, competent woman in our corner! -

Married a month and Leah is still helping me wrap up some loose ends- that’s the type of planner you get! As soon as I was engaged, I struggled with if I wanted a wedding planner, a day-of coordinator, or no professional help at all, given that I tend to be an extremely organized person. Thankfully we knew each other from a past life and reconnected to prep he big day. In the end, I knew that I needed assistance because I was actually having back-to-back weddings (Fri & Sat) and that if I wanted the Saturday event to go off without a hitch, I needed some help. And help she did!
Leah was great at sending me vendor recommendations, like my my beautiful photographer, Cadence Kennedy Photography Collection, communicating and setting up calls/meetings with the vendors and removing a level of stress throughout the whole planning process. Her level-headed advice when I was stressed and needed to vent was on point and exactly what I needed to hear in the moment.
Although the wedding had more of a ‘traditional bridal’ color scheme, I did opt to go with metallic blue hi-top Reeboks, which I hope she appreciated as my ‘something blue’ and the pop of color I know she desires in all wedding planning (if she has her way!).
Leah, thank you for all of your hard work and expertise. You and Jackie did an awesome job the day-of and I couldn’t be happier with having you assist in making sure our big day went off without (many) hitches! -

Justin M. Sent on 10/29/2019Trust a wedding photographer: BOOK LEAH!
So I know a lot of the reviews on here are from brides and grooms, so this may be a little different coming from a wedding photographer, but as someone who has seen Leah & the Color Pop team from behind the scenes, work along side them and then get to attend a wedding they coordinated I just have to say say that they are simply unparalleled in their excellence, attention to detail, calm demeanor, creativity, and all around perfection. I met Leah years ago in some industry mixers and immediately was taken by her colorful clothes and vibrant personality, so I made it a point to work with her from then on. It took a while -- because she is so busy working with AMAZING couples and on the coolest styled shoots and speaking engagements around -- but when I finally got to shoot with her recently it was truly the dream I had always hoped it would be. I event then got to recommend her and see how Color Pop planned a dear friend's wedding at 501 Union. Leah wrangled together a million different ideas and details during a tri-continental planning process and handled everything with grace and gusto. The wedding itself kicked the ass of every other one I have ever attended, with everything going smoothly without it ever feeling stiff. She later told me of a few hiccups that guests brought into the day that she ironed out so that no guest or (more importantly) the couple ever noticed. Truly, she's a dream, so what are you waiting for and BOOK HER NOW. If she's still available that is! -
User2797309 Sent on 10/03/2016Dear Leah,
thank you so much for making our special day so perfect! Johannes and I couldn't have dreamt of a more wonderful wedding.
It was a true pleasure working with you and thank you for all your kind advice and incredible support! -

Maya Sent on 09/28/2015If my best friend was looking for a wedding planner, I would recommend Leah from Color Pop Events in a hot second. She is everything you want in a planner: responsive, organized, warm, creative, and professional, with incredible taste. As just one example: We thought we could plan our wedding on our own, but realized very quickly that we were in over our heads already with the venue search. I emailed Leah in a panic, and she swooped in and (a) reassured me that there was a venue out there for me & made me feel less crazy, and (b) within an hour offered up 15+ ideas for venues that I would NEVER have thought of & that totally fit our vibe. In that situation and all others, I always felt 100% confident that she respected our budget and supported our desires, and would do everything possible to make what we wanted happen. In short, Leah is just the best -- every vendor we met said something along the lines of "We LOVE working with Leah!!!" -- and when other vendors say that, you know it's true, because they see everything ;) . I will recommend her in a heartbeat to every friend who gets engaged! -
User2549853 Sent on 03/08/2016I wanted to make a very special surprise birthday party for my wife. Leah brought it all together, gave me the comfort that I was in good hands, and made it happen on the incredible night. I did not have to do anything, except enjoy with our family and friends, who all had the the most amazing time!!!!
