Amazing Team!
We booked Pop the Champagne for our August wedding in Los Angeles, and Allie was amazing! She was incredibly knowledgeable, and so easy to talk to - it was so great to work with someone who is genuine in the wedding industry. In the months leading up to the wedding she provided resources to help us, was always available to help when we got stuck on anything or had any questions, and helped wrangle the vendors. On the wedding day we didn't worry about a single thing - the Pop the Champagne team is so professional and experienced, they moved everything through the day so seamlessly we didn't even notice it happening. Allie and her team also brought a great energy to the day and helped remind everyone that this is a day to celebrate, not worry about little things. I would 100% recommend Pop the Champagne! -

Best decision ever
Hiring a coordinator is not easy, especially because this is somebody you will be communicating a lot with and exchanging thoughts with as the big day approaches. We chatted with a handful of coordinators, and PTC boss lady, Allie, was the only one that we clicked with. She was raw, experienced and looking through PTC's IG page, their weddings looked downright FUN! We booked PTC about 14 months in advance and although they are just month-of coordinator, I felt that they were way more than that. During my whole wedding planning process, Allie was always there to answer my one-off questions and provide valuable resources to guide me in the right direction. And then in the middle of my planning, she came out with her OWN PODCAST *mind blown*. Her podcast episodes addressed almost every one of my concerns and probably prevented a lot of more back and forth emails from me (so kudos to you, Allie!).
Allie ultimately assigned herself to us about 3-4 months out and immediately took over the reins of logistics. We had our first venue walk-through with most of the vendors, and she arrived super organized and ready to attack any questions coming her way. We also met for about an hour afterwards to discuss timeline and honestly, she just seems like one cool chick and someone who I'd love to grab a drink with.
As we approached the big day, Allie was there to answer my questions and bounce ideas off of each other to find the best solution. The last 60 days of wedding planning is definitely the most stressful and Allie was my savior during this time. On the big day, i can honestly say that I was not stressed one bit. I knew wholeheartedly that Allie had everything under control and it really put the cherry on top when several vendors commented to me that we were either ahead of schedule and that this was the most "relaxed" wedding they ever worked. This really touched me, because we really wanted our wedding to flow organically and wanted everyone to have a good time. We are so, so grateful to her taking for taking the reins of our wedding day and letting us truly enjoy the day with our loved ones. The hype is real, our wedding day was perfect and we couldn't thank Allie more for it!

Where do I even begin - I am obsessed with this company, these women, and my #1, KARLA!!! Pop the Champagne is an incredible company! I had an absolute dream experience with them. My wedding venue required that we hired a month of planner, and I'm SO glad they did. PTC was on a list of recommended coordinators and they stood out far beyond the rest. I was sold immediately on their well rounded, boss biash vibe. Many of the others on the list (while I'm sure are very talented) had a stuffy air about them that just wasn't me. PTC is also extremely fair in their pricing, which is a rarity in the wedding industry! They have your back and are transparent from day 1.
At first, being a budget savvy queen, I wondered if this was a superfluous extra. But since I was required, I went with it. My GOD, was I wrong! Everyone - and I truly mean everyone - getting married needs a Karla. I'm an organized, type A planner, but I didn't know the ins and outs the way these pros do. By the time I was a couple months away from the wedding - I had admittedly lost my marbles. The stress mounts, family starts going crazy, vendors throw you curveballs, and Karla was there to save the day when I needed it most. She was there checking in not just with tangible tasks, but emotionally as well. She is organized, hilarious, assertive, caring, and someone you can put your complete trust into.
From the beginning, Allie was there checking in and sending docs - timelines, recommended vendors, etc. VERY helpful info off the bat. I hired one of their recommended HMU vendors (Face it Sugar) and couldn't have been happier. I felt good throughout the majority of the process, but by the time Karla got to me, I needed her so badly! I got covid 3 weeks before my wedding, and she got a bunch of tasks done for me as I got better. I was stressed about saved seating signs, and she took the wheel. Most importantly, I was dealing with a *caterer who shall not be named.* They had been challenging to deal with through the whole wedding process and threw one final nightmare at us very close to the big day. Karla went out of her way to stand up for me and make sure I wasn't overcharged or disrespected. That's her character - she stands up for what is right and fair, even if it's not convenient for her. I couldn't have been more grateful for her support. By my wedding week, anytime a vendor emailed me instead of her, Karla swatted them away from me, like a protective angel. Karla was THE reason I was able to relax and enjoy my wedding day. She picked up my remaining decor and had a handle on absolutely everything, no one came to me first to bother me about nonsense. Our venue had a pretty tight timeline, and she made sure we organized the evening exactly how I wanted. The day is (let's be real - very expensive) and goes by SO fast. Being able to be present and enjoy every moment is so pivotal. Plus, you leave with incredible memories with gals you will forever admire! Right before walking down the aisle, she blasted Unwritten and made me and my best friend/officiant loosen up. It was the sweetest, best thing I didn't know I needed in that moment. We got video of it and I'll cherish it forever! This is the longest review of my life, all of this rambling to say, HIRE THEM! You will be so incredibly thankful you did! They are experts, mind readers, and bosses beyond anything I've ever experienced. THANK YOU!!! -

My husband and I can't say enough about how much we loved working with Carolyn from Pop the Champagne. She was assigned to us a few months before the wedding to help coordinate, and from the moment we met her at the walk-through to the end of the wedding itself, she went above and BEYOND. She took over all of the contracts and communication with our vendors, and handled it flawlessly. She was also so quick to respond to any questions we had, and to alleviate or strategize any potential stressors. As a person, Carolyn is so sweet and positive, and her energy carried across the entire day. I honestly can’t even imagine what our wedding would have been like without her. We are so unbelievably grateful to have had Carolyn by our side, executing and organizing everything like the ultimate pro she is. We also want to give a shout-out to Allie, who was so supportive and kind to us from day one. We got engaged and started planning in 2019, so it goes without saying that COVID changed everything. Allie was there for us, and helped us figure out a gameplan to postpone over a tearful (on my part lol) phonecall. You can just tell that the company has the best people, and a DOC is one of the most important vendors you have to find. We are so lucky to have worked with Pop the Champagne, and specifically with Carolyn and Allie. You ladies rule! -

Sarah Sent on 03/21/2024So grateful for Karla and PTC!
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!!! -

Marianna Sent on 04/27/2021Best possible investment for our wedding
Allie from Pop the Champagne was a DREAM. Both my new husband and I agree that this was the best money spent from our entire vendor team (and this is saying a lot, because our vendor team was incredible). Allie was incredibly responsive to all my emails/requests/texts - which I found not to be the case with some other people we inquired with, as well as some of our other vendors. She knew her stuff re: wedding industry and helped us pull together the BEST possible team. She was fun, calming, and totally patient with my type-A tendencies. After Covid made our welcome reception fall through, she helped us plan an incredible party the night before our wedding with around a month's notice. Best of all, we had the most incredible wedding day - it was truly seamless in terms of timeline, vendor delivery, and every small detail. Allie helped pull this off and I could not be more grateful!! My bridesmaids loved her too :)
Simply put: if you're planning a wedding in Southern California, hire this team in a second! You will not regret it!!!
