Frequently Asked Questions
How is Poppies different from other planners?
Great question! At Poppies, we’re not sales-driven; we’re value-driven and always focused on what’s best for you and your event. Planning is a team effort, and you’ll have a dedicated lead by your side throughout the process. Unlike many planners who only step in close to the event date unless you purchase a full package, our services are not time-limited. We're here to support you from the moment you're ready, whether that's day one or three months out. We are also flexible in our communication and will never overbook.
Does Poppies travel for weddings or events?
To ensure the best delivery, our services are currently available only in Los Angeles and Orange County, CA. For Northern California events, please submit an inquiry and our team can assess availability to travel. Thank you for understanding!
How do payments work for services?
To reserve your date, we require a signed contract and a non-refundable retainer. The remaining payments are split into scheduled installments, with the final balance due 7 days after your event.
Can Poppies customize a package to fit our needs?
Absolutely! We know there are many different collaboration styles, and we want to meet you where you are. We would happily customize a package for you.
Is a venue coordinator the same as a wedding coordinator?
Not quite. A venue coordinator works for the venue and their priority is ensuring the venue runs smoothly (e.g. opening on time, managing staff and setup). A wedding planner or day-of coordinator works for you. They will manage your timeline, communicate with your vendor and wedding party, and ensure that your event runs seamlessly.
What languages does Poppies offer?
Our services are offered in English, Cantonese, and Mandarin.
