About

Unflappable. Calm under (extreme) pressure. Keeps her cool—with her sense of humor intact.

This is how clients described Color Pop Events founder Leah Weinberg during her former career as a commercial real estate attorney. Today, happy couples have come to rely on that same soothing confidence and rock-solid competence when planning their wedding.

Early in her legal career, it became clear to Leah that she was destined to be her own boss. Constantly brainstorming business ideas, it wasn't until she planned her own wedding in 2012—dubbed the "wedding of the year" by multiple guests—that she knew she'd found her calling. Wedding planning combined her passion for spreadsheets with her love of seeing people relax, smile and laugh. In 2013, Leah launched Color Pop Events to bring her eye for detail and flawless event execution to couples in and around New York City.

Leah applies an attorney's meticulousness to all weddings. She forecasts multiple steps ahead of the game, navigating complexities and steering clear of (or quickly resolving) any problems with limitless energy and resourcefulness.

Whether your wedding is brash and bold or sweet and intimate, Leah turns the overwhelming into the easy with a smile, serenity, and contagious spirit that couples find wonderfully refreshing.

Color Pop Events = what dreams are made of

As soon as we booked our venue, the next vendor we booked was Leah. We got engaged in an unprecedented pandemic (aka June 2020) and were looking to plan a wedding and get married with fingers crossed that our wedding would actually happen. Cue Leah. She was the first planner that came up in my research that I loved on paper – diverse clients, perfect reviews, a detail oriented ex-lawyer, and literal pops of color in her events to boot. As soon as we did meet with her virtually, we know she was the one. She was kind, professional, and totally understood my vibe and the type of event we were looking for. Even with all the pandemic uncertainty, she took us on for a full two years later (October 2022). Throughout the planning process, she provided a ton of helpful tips, checklists, vendor suggestions, and general expertise. She never thought any of our questions were silly and she was THE most responsive vendor we had, hands down. In the few months lead up to our wedding she handled all of our vendors, coordinated everything, and came up with our comprehensive day of plan. Leah did everything to make things less stressful for us and super clear about what was needed from us. The day of our wedding, I was SO relaxed. Leah’s thoroughness, professionalism, and calm ‘I got this’ attitude left nothing for me to worry about. Our vendors were all vendors that she suggested or have worked with her before and love her and I knew that if anything went wrong behind the scenes she would handle it. Before, during, and after the wedding we had people GUSHING to us about how much they loved Leah, how professional she was, how kind she was. Our wedding party loved her and she made everything super clear. We were actually AHEAD of schedule for the day. My husband and I talk about this often, but she was an absolute lifesaver, worth every penny, and hands down best decision we made. We love Leah and are only sad that we can’t get married 50 times over so we can work with Leah again!

Fabulous wedding planner

I’d like to think that I provided the high-level inspiration for my wedding, but Leah definitely provided the brains and execution. We could not have pulled it off without her. She was a calming, exceedingly competent presence throughout the entire process. She never pressured us on our vision. She was reliable, organized, provided great advice and, most importantly to me, turned out to be a great creative partner. She also introduced us to a bunch of stellar vendors in the NYC area. I interviewed A LOT of planners. Leah was clearly the top of the cohort and I never regretted the decision to work with her. Strong recommend.

Couldn't have done it without Leah!

We simply could not have pulled off our beautiful wedding without Leah's planning expertise, vendor connections, and organizational wizardry! We knew we did not have the bandwidth to plan a wedding, given that neither one of us is particularly well-suited to event planning even in the best of non-pandemic circumstances. From our first interaction, when we were debating whether or not to even plan a 2021 wedding, she was sensitive, thoughtful, and, above all, honest. When we decided to work with her, we immediately felt like we could relax, knowing we were in more than capable hands. We relied on her to think of all the things that needed thinking of and to remember what needed remembering. She kept us on track while I was busy taking exams and graduating from grad school. She also helped corral other members of the family and was a voice of reason, reality, and sanity. Leah never judged us or pressured us to conform to wedding traditions or expectations that were not the right fit for us. She respected our priorities, and channeled our vision into a day that was more fun, beautiful and "us" than we imagined was possible.
