Poppin Social Scope

Before You Ask

You might be wondering.

How far in advance should we begin planning?

We recommend initiating design conversations at least four to six months prior to your target date to secure top tier vendors and venues.

Do I need to manage the vendors on the day of the event?

Not at all. Our team handles all on site coordination, cueing, and logistics so you can remain fully present with your guests.

Can the design be tailored to a specific personal theme?

Every concept is built from scratch around the honoree's life, tastes, and stories. Nothing is pulled from a standard catalog.
