Reviews for Joellen Pope Weddings
GUEST
Where to begin? Joellen was beyond amazing. From our very first phone call I felt in such competent hands: she seemed to immediately intuit exactly what we had in mind for our wedding, and her suggestions and support felt as though they were coming from someone who'd known me forever. Although her warmth, enthusiasm, and giddy efficiency were apparent from the beginning, I was still amazed by what she was able to create on the day itself. The flower arrangements she crafted were lavish; the evening ceremony magical; the officient she recommended perfect.
On a more personal note, I loved that her wonderful husband was a part of her work: a chef, artist, and jewelry designer, he surprised us with home-made canapes and an eye for floral aesthetics. There was something reassuring and sweet about having the solid love of their relationship as a backdrop, and I felt inspired and reassured by it.
In short-- Joellen is a rare gem. Her sharp sense of humor, impeccable professionalism (she was always reachable and took care to update us at every step of the process), and incredible warmth made me feel as though I'd been blessed with my own fairy godmother. I wish all brides could be so lucky as to have a planner such as she!

I can not begin to say enough about Joellen – first time we spoke via phone for almost an hour and I knew that she was the person I wanted to handle day of even planning – then our first meeting went off amazing – she understand what our vision was, worked with the vendors, set up a time line, and handle a bunch of details that I would have overlooked. Since our event was in San Francisco she even spent Friday night in the city so she would be fresh and ready for our big day – This was her first same-sex wedding (we found afterwards) – so if you are planning a same sex wedding highly recommend her – she will embrace you as family.

Joellen was the perfect wedding planner with her professionalism, attention to detail, kindness and caring personality. She guided us expertly through the process, and helped us save money and time. We had definite ideas for our wedding and she made them happen. She took much of the stress away so that we could enjoy the day to the fullest! Throughout the ceremony and the reception, her attention was totally on making everything work for us.
Joellen also arranged our flowers and they were beautiful, far beyond what I could have imagined. Kevin, Joellen's husband, did the catering and made the most wonderfully delicious carrot wedding cake! Our guests still rave about it and the light finger foods that he made & served!

Jo was so amazing from start to finish. When she heard I was to marry my High School Sweetheart after 30 years she turned my childhood dream wedding into a reality. Even with her just having surgery on her foot, she made time for me and even went with me to pick a dress! Her husband Kevin made my cake which was the most delicious cake I have ever had at a wedding in addition to all the food that was served at my buffet style reception. Jo's flowers were so fresh & perfect. They had all the colors I wanted and were so beautiful. I HIGHLY recommend Joellen Pope to be your wedding specialist!

A few years ago, my husband and I decided to have a destination wedding in Napa, California. Immediately, I looked into hiring a wedding planner who would help plan our special day! I contacted Joellen and knew she was the right planner from the very start. Not only was Joellen friendly and patient, she knew every wedding-related vendor in Napa! She knew all the little secrets of the business and made a destination wedding seem more than manageable. My husband and I were very particular with what we wanted, and it was unbelievable how Joellen made our vision come true-from the meaningful location of the ceremony, to the perfect intimate reception, and finally to every little detail of the elegant decor. I highly recommend Joellen for her wedding planning services! You'll be so happy you found her!

FAQ for Joellen Pope Weddings
Vital? Isn't that going overboard? Ok, when was the last time you rented a venue... that you were paying for. All that small print can get you into some major problems. Like the required parking attendants from a bonded and insured company. Or having to have a rehearsal during the late evening causing that rehearsal 'dinner' turn into a rehearsal luncheon. A good wedding planner has seen these problems and can point them out to you, so you make informed choices before you sign, not after.
It goes beyond that. Traditions on both sides of the families occasionally clash. Feelings get hurt, tempers rise, brides and grooms start arguing. Hey, this is supposed to be fun! Reality says bringing together two families can have stress points. A professional wedding planner can help work out problems, smooth feelings, and calm fears.
One last thing, the actual day. Who is going to make sure everything runs smoothly? Aunt Geraldine, who drank too much and took over the mike at the last wedding? How about that wedding planner? The person who knows how to effectively write that time-line, coordinate it with all the vendors, and make sure it flows on your wedding day. Oh, and that vendor who is late showing up, who knows when they were going to arrive and where's their phone number? Right, the wedding planner has already called and taken care of it.
