The Poppy Group is a team of Bay Area wedding planners working together to deliver professional Month-of Wedding Coordination services throughout Northern California. We help clients streamline the wedding planning process, by pairing couples with professionals who can finalize all of the details prior to the wedding day.
These “Poppy Planners” are hand-selected by our owner as talented event coordinators. Many come from a corporate event planning background, bringing a high level of professionalism and extensive event experience to your wedding planning experience. After an initial discovery call, we pair you with a Planner that we feel will be the best fit for your wedding. You will begin working with your Poppy Planner two months out from your date.
“Using their experience and their extensive network of colleagues throughout California, [The Poppy Group] act’s as matchmakers for clients and month-of coordinators while offering mentorship and maintaining a hands-on approach throughout the process. Services start as early as two months prior to the wedding day and include everything from vendor coordination to a customized event timeline, access to online organizational tools, and an on-site planner at the wedding. [Poppy Founder] says ‘It allows our clients to benefit from our years in the field, through someone who is really talented and can take the ball and run with it.’”
TESTIMONIALS FROM POPPY CLIENTS
“As a reasonably laid-back bride, I needed my Poppy Planner, Kate, more than anyone. She made sure everything that we needed to think about and discuss ahead of time was reviewed and handled everything else herself. She made an effort to understand our vision for the day and, more importantly, how and where we wanted to be involved and what things were truly important to us, and what things we weren’t so bothered about. Everything went absolutely seamlessly on the day - vendors all turned up where and when they were supposed to, all the guests had a wonderful time and were well looked after, every detail we’d discussed was perfectly executed and we were able to enjoy ourselves and not worry about a thing! I can’t recommend Kate highly enough!”
“Our wedding coordinator, Jenn, was fantastic! She was organized, pleasant to work with, and offered valuable advice based on her experience planning many weddings. We could relax on our wedding day knowing that she was on top of everything, and the wedding turned out perfectly! Thank you Jenn and Poppy Group for helping us to create an amazing wedding day!”
“Our Poppy Group Planner, Amy, did a splendid job with our wedding! With so many things that went wrong (as one could expect), she pulled through with flying colors and ensured that no one knew that anything out of the ordinary had happened. She definitely has the patience of a saint and knew how to deal with any situation that might arise. I can’t say enough great things about Amy!”

The Poppy Group was founded by professional Bay Area wedding planners in 2015, to serve clients in the Greater San Francisco Bay Area specifically looking for a reliable Month-of Coordination solution for their wedding. While many couples choose to do the majority of the wedding planning on their own, at The Poppy Group we believe it is essential that couples turn the reins over to a professional, enabling them, their family & their guests to enjoy the wedding day.
