🍒 Who’s Behind the Clipboard? Get to Know Cherry Pop Events

Planning with Pizzazz. Love with a Twist.

At Cherry Pop Events, we throw tradition out the window (with a martini in hand) and roll out the pink carpet for weddings and celebrations that are bold, beautiful, and anything but boring. Based in sunny Los Angeles and dripping with vintage flair, we specialize in creating unforgettable events that feel like a scene straight out of a retro dream.

Whether you’re getting hitched at city hall, celebrating employees, or planning a retro-glam reception or gala with neon lights and heart-shaped sunglasses, we’re here to make it fabulous.

💋 About Cherry Pop Events

Weddings and Events with Sass and Class

At Cherry Pop Events, we don’t just plan weddings — we orchestrate experiences with vintage flair, modern execution, and zero tolerance for cookie-cutter nonsense. Founded by Laura Kinniburgh, a 20-year event veteran with a sharp eye and a sharper wit, we specialize in events that are bold, beautiful, and unapologetically personal.

Whether you’re handing us the reins for day-of coordination or need a full-service planning partner who gets your vibe, we’re here to make it seamless, stylish, and fun as hell.

🎯 What Sets Us Apart

No BS, All Brilliance: We don’t do fluff, and we don’t do pressure. Just expert guidance, honest advice, and fierce execution.
Retro Glam, Real Planning: Inspired by retro sass with today’s tools, we bring personality to every detail — and professionalism to every moment.
Day-Of Coordination Pros: We specialize in running the show you’ve already planned. You bring the vision. We’ll make it run smoother than a martini at cocktail hour.
Budget-Savvy, Strategy-Driven: Through projects like the Atomic Love Challenge, we prove you don’t need six figures to throw a stunning, meaningful celebration.
The Pin-Up Planner Podcast: We don’t just plan — we teach, spill the tea, and bring the real talk. Our weekly podcast gives you behind-the-scenes stories, vendor insights, and zero-filter planning advice.

At Cherry Pop Events, your event isn’t “just another job” — it’s a reflection of your story, your style, and your standards. And we’re here to honor all three with heart, humor, and one hell of a clipboard.

👠 Meet the Founder

Laura Kinniburgh – Queen of Quirk, CEO of Cute

With a background in social work and a flair for throwing themed parties that sparkle, Laura launched Cherry Pop Events to help couples create memories without the wedding industry pressure. Her style? Think Lucille Ball meets Lisa Frank — with a clipboard. When she’s not coordinating love stories, she’s collecting vintage treasures and baking too many cookies for her friends.
