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 also are flexible in our communication and will never overbook.

For weddings, 9 to 12 months prior to the event is ideal. For other events, we recommend 3 to 6 months. Shorter time frames are generally accepted, however, some options may be limited due to short notice.

Absolutely! We can alter an existing package or create a new package for you.

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.

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!

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 before your event.
