Grab your cat-eye sunglasses and buckle your garter belt, doll — because things are about to get juicy.


💄 What IS The Pin-Up Planner?

Just like Cherry Pop Events itself, this podcast is a bold and playful mix of style, smarts, and vintage flair.

The Pin-Up Planner: No BS, Just Brilliance is your backstage pass to the real world of event planning — the beautiful, the stressful, the chaotic, the hilarious, and the downright unexpected.

Each episode blends:
✨ real talk
✨ expert insights
✨ personal stories
✨ retro sass
✨ and brutally honest advice

No fluff.
No sugarcoating.
Just brilliance — with lipstick and laughter.

Episodes will stream weekly on Spotify and drop as short-form clips and mini-episodes on TikTok, so you can get your planning fix whether you’re driving to work or scrolling before bed.


🍒 Why This Podcast Exists

The Pin-Up Planner has one mission: To take the confusion, chaos, and overwhelm out of event planning — and replace it with confidence, clarity, and class.

This isn’t another “perfect aesthetic” podcast where everyone pretends wedding planning is a walk in a retro park. No, ma’am. This is the real deal — the wisdom I’ve gathered from 20+ years in the trenches of weddings and events.

If you can dream it, I’ve planned it…
If it can go wrong, I’ve fixed it…
And if couples stress about it, I’m talking about it on the show.


🧵 Episodes Filled with Sass & Strategy

Brace your bobby pins, sugar — here’s a taste of the brilliance coming your way:

💍 Planning myths that drive me bananas
💋 Mistakes couples make (and how to avoid them)
🕺 Why Day-Of Coordination is your secret weapon
💸 How to spend smart and stretch your budget
🎀 Guest list drama and how to survive it
📣 Vendor red flags
💔 Cautionary tales that will curl your toes
🎉 Party planning hacks no one tells you
🍸 Behind-the-scenes stories from 20+ years of events
🧠 Mindset tools for staying sane while planning

And of course…
Weekly check-ins on the Atomic Love Challenge, your rockabilly wedding journey delivered episode by episode.

Each episode is equal parts education and entertainment — like Lucille Ball teaching you how to run a wedding without accidentally setting something on fire.


💃 Why The Pin-Up Planner Isn’t Your Average Planner Podcast

This show has a vibe, baby.

Inspired by retro glam with modern edge, this podcast blends:
✔ straight-shooting advice
✔ humor that hits harder than a tequila shot
✔ practical solutions
✔ fabulous storytelling
✔ a cheeky “no BS” attitude

We don’t do boring.
We don’t do vague.
We definitely don’t do gate-keeping.

Expect a little lipstick, a little laughter, a little chaos — and a whole lot of brilliance.


🎙️ Sass, No Stress

Tone? Confident, playful, and just a little spicy.
Vibe? Vintage glam with a wink.
Style? Organized but never stiff.
Language? Clear, clever, sometimes cheeky — maybe a cuss or three.

Imagine Lily Tomlin hosting a wedding hotline with modern-day know-how and zero patience for nonsense.

That’s The Pin-Up Planner.

I’m Laura

southern california cherry pop events Founder Laura kinniburgh

Well, butter my biscuit and call it fate — Laura Kinniburgh was born to plan a party, baby. With more than 20 years of experience wrangling everything from wild backyard birthdays to swoon-worthy weddings, this single mama of three and fearless founder of Cherry Pop Events has turned event chaos into cherry-topped charm one celebration at a time.

Raised on glitter, gumption, and a whole lotta “I’ve got this,” Laura’s been dazzling the Southern California event scene with her signature blend of 1950s sass, sky-high standards, and enough heart to power a vintage Cadillac. Whether she’s designing a dreamy full-service wedding or swooping in as a Day-Of Coordinator superhero, she’s got the eye, the hustle, and the humor to pull it all together without breaking a sweat (or a nail).

When she’s not knee-deep in linens, timelines, and seating charts, Laura’s wrangling her three incredible kids, walking her three rowdy pups, and proving that you can be a powerhouse planner and still make time for pancakes on Sunday.

So, whether you’re lost in the land of “where do I even start?” or just need a fairy godmother in cherry red heels — Laura’s your gal. And with Cherry Pop Events, she’s made it her mission to make wedding planning feel less like a meltdown and more like a martini. Because darling, love deserves a party — and Laura was born to throw it. 🍒💋

LOVE IS LOVE.
