Hiring Jenna and her team was no doubt one of the best decision we made for our wedding! From the moment I spoke to Jenna and Jeanette, I knew Pop the Cork Designs was not only super organize and talented, but also a ton of fun to work with! Pop the Cork Designs was different than other planners we had considered because they truly got to know us as a couple, and were very professional while still being a TON of fun and not at all stuffy. When I needed last minute vendor advice or had a question about logistics, Jenna would respond super quickly. When I got a little stressed during our walk through a few weeks before the wedding, they told me not to worry about a thing, it would be perfect–they were right! They calmed my nerves and made sure every detail was planned from start to finish. On the day of the wedding, I didn’t stress one bit, which no doubt was a result of having complete faith in Jeanette. Jeanette even offered to pick up things from our rehearsal dinner that we would need for the wedding the next day. She brought breakfast and lunch to our suite as my bridesmaids and I were getting ready. These are just a few examples of how they truly go above and beyond during all aspects of the planning process. I am certain our wedding would not have run nearly as smoothly or been as enjoyable if it had not been for the PTC team. They are incredible, and you certainly won’t regret having them be a part of your vendor team!

Melissa was an absolute pleasure to work with! She followed up with every vendor, helped with any requests we had, even helped decorate the tables! She is very experienced and knows how to solve any issues. She is on TIME and ready to help right when she arrives. She was truly an asset is making my wedding go smoothly!!!
Alexis, Private Estate
Working with Jenna from Pop the Cork Designs, was truly one of the best experiences. I originally thought that I only needed a day of planner in this process. Someone to help with setting up decorations and make everything look perfect on our big day. Little did I know, that in Jenna I would find not only a new great friend, but someone who truly brought our wedding to life. Jenna assisted me with every decision the whole step of the way and she is someone I knew that I could always ask her opinion and she would be honest with me about it. Jenna helped me with every little bit at all hours of the day and for that I am forever grateful. Every vendor that she recommended to me was just as wonderful as she was which was GREAT. Everyone was SO amazing, helpful and really tried to be budget conscious, which I so appreciated! I truly believe that if it was not for her, our wedding would not have been as spectacular. I am super sad to not be emailing her non stop about wedding fun anymore!!! As for her staff, they are just as amazing. On the day of our wedding, they helped with SO much, even with the smallest things such as, holding my flowers and helping me get out of the car for our first look pictures. They also helped keep my now husband and his groomsman on track with everything for the day and SO much more that I could legit write a novel. At the end of the day, I was so so blessed to have had Jenna and her whole Pop the Cork team a part of the best weekend of our lives!

Jenna and her entire team are hands down the best of the best. Getting married in a city that you are not that familiar with can be super stressful however she made the entire wedding planning process easy and so fun. We can not even begin to thank them for all they did during the planning process and day of. There is no way we would have been able to get everyone to where they needed to be. Jenna and Team, thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts. Y’all are absolutely amazing. You were hands down the best decision we made during the entire wedding planning process. I love that we have a new set of amazing friends! We love Y’all!!

My husband and I hired her for partial wedding planning and it was worth every penny. Jenna was always available by phone or email for questions or vendor suggestions. What I loved so much is that Jenna will be involved as little or as much as YOU want her to be. She’s not pushy about what you should do or pushing her own vision, but rather brings YOUR vision to life! Prior to the wedding we had multiple phone calls, tons of emails, and we even met up in person to ensure everything was what we wanted and to go over the wedding timeline. Jenna created an hour-by-hour timeline for us for day of the wedding-AMAZING! They kept us on time and made sure we were where we needed to be for every little thing. It was so nice having someone who wasn’t a friend or family who could direct us all and keep it moving. I feel we got so much more out of our day by being able to relax and soak up every moment thanks to Pop the Cork being there. My mom even admitted after the wedding that she was skeptical about me hiring a wedding planner, but she was so glad I did because of how incredible and organized they were. She said it was worth whatever amount I had paid. I can’t thank Jenna and her girls enough for all the hard work they did. If you’re on the fence about hiring a planner, do it. You won’t regret it, because it allows you to soak up every bit of your big day and lets someone else worry about details. Thank you, Pop the Cork, for helping me plan our wedding and bring our vision to life!
Lydia, Riverside on the Potomac
Where do I begin?! I don’t know what I would have done without Jenna and her team on our wedding day! We hired Jenna for partial planning and, let me tell you, you will have so much peace of mind on your wedding day knowing that you’re in the hands of Pop the Cork! Jenna was very helpful throughout the wedding planning process from meeting in person and always quickly replying to texts and emails to being supportive and bringing my vision to life. Jenna is able to recommend the top notch vendors in the DMV area and you can feel rest assured that your day will be seamlessly perfect!! A month before the wedding, Jenna and I chatted over the phone about my timeline for the wedding day. Jenna coordinated with all of my vendors to ensure everything would go according to plan, and this took a huge weight off my shoulders. I can’t imagine what the day would have been like without Jenna’s organization and planning. On the wedding day we were blessed to have Jenna and her girls Jenna, Katie, and Jill. These girls work HARD!! From carrying my bouquet and veil during pictures and picking sticks out of the tulle in my dress to running to my car at the last minute to grab decor and making sure my (now) husband and I always had a drink in hand, having these girls was everything!! If you want to enjoy your wedding day (as every bride and groom should) without the stress of anything going off plan, then you need to book Pop the Cork!
Joe, Accelerator Space
Jenna (our day of coordinator) was awesome on our wedding day making sure everything went as smooth as possible and dealing with anything and everything and solving problems with all of our different vendors. Highly recommended.
Taylor, Running Hare Vineyard
Where do I begin! Jenna and her girls made my wedding day an amazing stress free experience. I could enjoy every minute of the day at ease knowing they had everything covered from working with the vendors, making sure we were following the timeline, and assuring my wedding party was okay. They handled the day so professionally and I will forever be grateful for them!
Rachel, Private Estate I cannot say enough positive words about Jenna (the owner) and her staff. Not only do they have an impeccable eye for design, but they are sweet, responsive, and attentive to detail. I had Mel as my day-of coordinator and she worked with me leading up to my event to discuss vendors, logistics, and any details I may have (would have!) forgotten. On the day of my wedding, Mel and her two assistants were the go-to for vendors so no one needed to come to me with questions. They did an amazing job of making everything look fabulous and flow seamlessly – I honestly could not have pulled it off without them! 100% satisfaction:)
Kristen, Chesapeake Bay Beach Club Jenna and her team are amazing! I first met Jenna at the Chesapeake Bay Beach Club’s Bow Ties and Bubbly Event. We chatted for a bit and I immediately knew we would get along. I hired Jenna as my month of coordinator but she was in touch months before to make sure everything was going smoothly. She was always an email, text, or phone call away. She has many contacts in the wedding vendor industry and can help you find whatever you need! As the wedding day got closer, Jenna would check in at least once a week. She became the point of contact for all my vendors and she created a timeline for the day of the wedding which she emailed out to every vendor. On the day of the wedding, everything went perfectly!! If there were any problems I never knew about them :) . I would highly recommend Pop the Cork Designs!
Julia, Annapolis Maryland Wedding
Jenna and her team were without a doubt the best money we spent for our wedding. Jenna was so fun to work with planning for the wedding, and so incredibly helpful on our wedding day. Jenna and her crew arrived ready to work and did not stop working for one second, they made our wedding day a dream come true. I took on a ton of DIY decor and Jenna turned it into something magical and I could not have been happier with how it all turned out. Everything that day ran so smoothly and was so well organized, and best of all we got to relax and just enjoy the day! Thank you for the best day ever, we love the Pop the Cork team!
Dana, Eastern Shore Wedding
We hired Jenna as a month-of / day-of coordinator for our wedding in Annapolis in April. Jenna was extremely upbeat and always had a great energy about her. Even though we hired her as a month-of coordinator, she definitely helped me out along the way, getting me quotes for design ideas I had, recommending local vendors, and helping us organize our detailed timeline for the day, which was difficult given we had our ceremony at a church and then transported guests across the Bay Bridge to the Chesapeake Bay Beach Club. She was always willing to meet up with me around my schedule in the months leading up to the wedding, which wasn’t always very flexible since I live in NYC and was planning the wedding long distance. She met up with us to do a walkthrough of our venue 8 months out and again a month our for our final planning discussion with the venue. Whenever she could be there, she would, which was really comforting to me because I knew she knew everything in my brain. Jenna was great to work with along the way. She would check in with me monthly just to make sure I was doing okay with planning. She sent me pictures of design ideas based on the vision I had told her I was trying to execute. She served as a sounding board when I had questions or concerns. And she gave me peace-of-mind that my day would be in good hands and I wouldn’t have to worry about anything once the wedding weekend began. On the day of the wedding, Jenna and 3 of her assistants made sure everything ran smoothly and stayed on schedule. They helped style some shots of our invitations and rings, coordinated with all of our vendors to ensure they were where they needed to be, and helped even switch the plan for our first look at the last minute due to rain. Our day was perfect, our reception room was absolutely beautiful, and I really did just enjoy my day! I recommend hiring Jenna and her team to help with your wedding, whether it be full coordination or just month-of!
Kadie, Springfield Manor Jenna is a dream to work with! She helped keep me stress free and made my visions and ideas a reality. I am so glad that I got to work with her and her team for our wedding. She took such great care of me, answering any and all questions I had. She responded quickly and really helped bring everything together! She’s such a wonderful planner, totally worth it. My mom didn’t want to get a planner originally but once the day had come and gone she was so impressed, saying that she didn’t know if there was any way we would’ve been able to run this wedding on our own with such grace and professionalism. Jenna and her girls are experienced and delightful to work with. I can’t say enough nice things about them!
Megan, Eastern Shore, September I was looking for a day of coordinator to make sure my ideas and details went smoothly on our big day. Jenna from Pop the Cork Designs was that and so much more! She chatted with me periodically to make sure I was making progress, she provided vendor suggestions that would fit my taste, and she was a great sounding board leading up to our wedding weekend. The day of the wedding Jenna and her assistants worked around the clock to make sure everything was set up just the way I envisioned it. She made sure we followed my crazy detailed timeline and kept the other vendors in line. I highly recommend having a day-of-coordinator for peace-of-mind. If you are looking for a fun, organized, helpful coordinator with great taste Jenna is your girl! Thanks to the whole Pop The Cork Designs team!
Brittany, Nashville Cordelle, September
Jenna was amazing! She put extra touches on my wedding that made it perfect. I could not have done it without her :)
Christina, Annapolis Marriott, September
Jenna is a wonderful planner! She is flexible, eager and has wonderful ideas. She knows how to get things done, so if you’re someone who needs direction (like me) then she is your girl! She keeps things on schedule, throughout the whole planning process and is great at keeping you on track. She is also incredibly flexible and respects boundaries and will make things work any way you want them. She and her team make your big day go effortlessly, I got little taps on the shoulder to let me know when it was time to be somewhere and everything else went off without a hitch. As soon as the wedding day began, I didn’t have to think about anything except getting married, which is such a blessing!!
Amanda, Destination Wedding Bluemont Vineyard
I can’t say enough good things about Jenna and her team. Despite being a ‘weekend-of’ wedding coordinator, Jenna helped me so much along the way: making sure I stuck to an appropriate timeline, helping me find vendors I needed, and offering suggestions for the multiple events I hosted. Jenna had a great understanding of the look I was trying to go for and helped me achieve it. During the actual wedding weekend, Jenna and her assistants did a beautiful job with our rehearsal dinner and our wedding. The entire weekend flowed incredibly smoothly, and I am sure that this was in large part due to Jenna. She is worth her weight in gold!
Martha, Annapolis Wedding
Let me begin by saying our daughter’s wedding was perfect from start to finish. Jenna, our wedding coordinator took great care of us. She was only contracted through our vendor for the day of the wedding. However, she agreed to meet with us on her own time to go over wedding day schedule. She was very helpful. On the day of the wedding, she was right by our side the whole time, taking care of questions, requests, scheduling and working great with the other vendors. We really felt like we did not have to worry about or take care of anything that day. I would highly recommend Jenna to help plan any event for you.
Courtney, Annapolis Wedding Jenna is hard working, and love her job! she did an amazing job getting my wedding together the day of. I couldn’t get over how beautiful the room looked!
Laura, Fredrick Wedding Pop the Cork Designs is an event planning business made up of professional coordinators that can make any size event run smoothly. They go above and beyond expectations and do beautiful work. I would highly recommend.
