Hoopes Events

weekend - we were able to completely trust that Mackenzie had everything handled, which enabled us to completely enjoy everything about the weekend. Really appreciate Mackenzie for all the guidance and ultimately pulling everything together!

hich was amazing. If you're debating whether or not to get a wedding planner, I would definitely say go for it. Your sanity will thank you later.

ackenzie at Hoopes. Focusing on reaffirming our union and spending time with our loved ones was truly unforgettable. A month-of coordinator was essential to being fully present on our wedding day. Looking back, I would have hired Hoopes earlier and had Mackenzie on our wedding project from the start. Questions I was mulling over for weeks, she resolved very quickly. Plus, we had Eastern European traditions that Mackenzie executed precisely. Most importantly, she's just an all-around great human. Super kind, responsive, organized, and very genuine. 100% could not have achieved our vision without Mackenzie.

end!

ball for our wedding. We even had a mishap (not her fault) during the day-of, where one of our guest buses broke down, and she did a great job resolving the issue. Highly recommend Hoopes!

with. With relatively little instructions, they jumped into action and executed a flawless wedding. There was some ongoing miscommunication among the venue staff, and Tonya, in a seemingly effortless way, was able to help them figure things out and made everything run just as planned. Because it was a destination wedding, we had to transport an enormous amount of things. Tonya directed the unpacking and set up for the wedding perfectly, and then expertly packed everything up to be taken home. The ceremony, happy hour, dinner, and dancing were all in different locations at the venue, and Tonya so smoothly coordinated all of the transitions and every single detail in between. Tonya has a keen sense of how to make things beautiful, and that really showed in the entire wedding. Having Tonya there and having confidence that she was in charge of everything allowed each of us to totally relax and enjoy the day. Not only were Tonya and her team highly competent, but they were just delightful people who exuded friendliness, a feeling of calmness, and an air of being confidently in charge. Tonya and her team made the day exactly what the couple wanted, and they couldn’t have been happier. I cannot say enough about how wonderful Tonya and her team were, and I give them my highest recommendation. We would hire them again in a heartbeat.

l without a doubt be in the best of hands and in the best of company. My husband and I hired Tonya in the months leading up to our wedding events — all of which occurred at Sundance Mountain Resort on 9/30/22 - 10/1/22 — and we’re so glad we did. We don’t know what we would have done without Tonya. Tonya is a wealth of experience and knowledge, and she really helped us think through, plan and executive EVERYTHING. All of the details came together because of Tonya. She asked fantastic questions, shared her invaluable perspective in the moments we most needed her to, and turned our dreams into a reality. She listened to our vision, and really made it happen. I simply can't say enough good things about Tonya - she's incredible organized, on time, polite, creative, confident, good natured, patient and professional. Tonya was particularly calming and grounding, in the more stressful or rushed moments of our wedding weekend, and Tonya kept everything moving beautifully and flowing perfectly. If you have a wedding coming up, Tonya Hoopes is without a doubt the woman for the job! Tonya hit everything out of the park, and impressed us (as a person and a wedding coordinator) every single step of the way -- in the days and weeks leading up to our wedding weekend, during the events themselves, and in the days following our wedding. I'll always cherish my time working with Tonya. I can't say enough good things about her, she went above and beyond for us and we'll always be grateful for Tonya Hoopes and Hoopes Events!

erything big and small, call me through every find detail, and help me and my family keep our sanity during the whole process. We truly got to know her as a friend and are so grateful that she was involved with her special day. I promise, she will go above and beyond for you!

rfully warm and reassuring presence throughout the entire process. There were so many aspects of our event that could have made planning difficult (specifically that we’re a couple of stressed out procrastinators planning a Utah wedding while living in Brooklyn), but Angela made it as smooth and stress-free as we possibly could have hoped. And more importantly, her expert planning and coordination helped make the wedding itself absolutely flawless! Her coordination with the venue and the vendors was masterful, and she was such a hit with the guests and ceremony participants that one of our friends tried to hire her for a sibling’s wedding on the spot :) The whole experience was so much better than we expected, and we honestly could not have done it without Angela. We can’t recommend her and Hoopes highly enough.

t vendors, family, etc. knew where to be day of! She took so much stress out of our wedding day and we are so thankful. We would highly recommend!

and a good communicator, which was important, considering the numerous details we were dealing with for the weekend. She helped with our guest Welcome Bags, the logistics with all 3 events, various signage, ideas/suggestions along the way, some vendor coordination, guest communications, and attended to plenty of details/issues during the events. Most of the guests ultimately knew who Mackenzie was, and she was a calming constant during a weekend full of people, details, and important moments. When we originally hired Hoopes, I really didn't know what to expect, but when the weekend was over, it was "beyond expectations" in my mind. I was impressed and appreciative of Mackenzie's level of care and commitment to making sure everything went well - and it really did. She really did a great job, and we can't thank her enough!

4 of them, and Hoopes took the cake. But beyond the initial decision, Angela went above and beyond to take care of every need we had. Every step of the way, we had clarity on what mattered most, Angela tracked our progress, and she had a rolodex of previous experience to help us. She was so zero stress about managing every blip in the road and we actually became great friends along the way. And when we got to our wedding day, there was literally nothing we would have changed. She helped wrangle my giant family and made sure everything ran on track. She truly made our dreams come true! If you are on the fence about getting a planner, get, and choose Hoopes! The entire process was incredibly smooth and our wedding was so stress-free and wonderful. We love you, Angela!

f" service for us and helped with design of the venue. She went to event rental places with us and helped us bargain shop for some of the smaller details. Everything was perfect the day of and we were able to enjoy the day with our friends and family. She helped direct the venue on how we wanted our tables set up and even checked in to make sure everyone had their food. My husband accidentally stepped on my dress, breaking the bussle.. Tonya was my first panicked stop where they helped me fix it. She assisted with the rehearsal the day before (thank goodness) and stayed for the whole wedding helping to gather our personal belongings from the venue before she left. I honestly do not think I would have had a good time if Tonya had not been there. Even our wedding party commented on how incredible she was. **Tonya had an assistant with her the day of the wedding who was equally as incredible!! Thank you

he first day being a “traditional” western ceremony and the second being a Hindu-Indian ceremony. Both ceremonies had receptions associated with them and after parties. One family lived in New Hampshire, one in Georgia and the Bride/Groom in New York. We would respectfully suggest that the degree of difficulty for coordinating all elements for this wedding was high. Tonya was easy to work with, flexible when it came to scheduling meetings and accommodating on reschedules. She was a wealth of information on a variety of topics. She was outstanding in helping negotiate issues with the Solitude resort staff. Tonya displayed a very capable eye for design. From the invitations, to the table settings Tonya helped create a vision for the wedding “brand” without much assistance or direction. She willingly incorporated suggestions to pile on the core brand from both sides. We were grateful to her for this overall vision. Wedding weekend was especially challenging with two different outdoor sites for the ceremonies (one up the mountain) and then an outdoor reception tent that had two different themes. Tonya’s team of employees capably made sure items were where they should have been when required. We can’t understate how complicated this element was with both families dreaming up all sorts of details to make the events of the weekend memorable for everyone. Finally, a word on fees. Simply put, Tonya’s fees for services were fair. We are happy to provide further details if desired.

(almost 2 years) and Angela was my rock through every step of the process. From our first call I knew that she was going to help create an incredible wedding, but it far exceeded any of my expectations. She took all of the stress off the entire planning process, gave me real and honest feedback, advice, and support along the way. One of my favorite things about working with Angela is that she really took the time to get to know us and what our vision was so that in every check in or vendor meeting we were aligned and felt comfortable making decisions whether they were big or small. On our wedding day Angela made everything run so smoothly and flawlessly that I had so many guests come up and tell me how wonderful she was! I genuinely could not have planned or executed my wedding without her and I hope that every bride (and couple) can experience a wedding planning process as seamless, stress free, and fun as we had!

he planning process, and really listened to what we wanted. I never felt like she was trying to push something on us that didn't match what we were going for. She was on top of all of our logistics, pushed vendors for answers when we needed them, and was overall just really pleasant to work with. We never would have been able to plan out Park City wedding without her, especially given we were flying in from out of town. Thank you Hoopes Events and Angela!!

ng process at all and she took care of everything. I even threw a last minute taco truck at her to find for the day after the wedding a month before and she made it happen! She is the best and I couldn't recommend her and her company more.

xtremely knowledgeable, organized, and detail-oriented. We came in not knowing much at all about planning a wedding, and she guided us through the essential parts of the process and reminded us of many details. The best thing about Angela is that she makes it all about YOU. She always has you and your partner's wants and dreams at the forefront of every decision. She truly brought to life the day of our dreams. Cannot say enough good things!

out of all of planners in the area is because of their prompt communication, pricing, and willingness to work with me on my creative vision. They had a great roster of vendors that they had worked with in the past and worked well with the vendors that we brought in from out of town. We can't recommend Hoopes and Angela enough!!

event. Tonya suggested wonderful vendors that were great to work with. I was AMAZED how beautiful and well done our wedding was. I cannot thank the team and Hoopes and the vendors they suggested enough.

er choice to go with Hoopes was far and above what I ever had hoped for. They care and the professionalism and followthrough was steadfast. Thank you isn't enough to show our gratitude.

was so knowledgeable and kind. Tonya has innumerable connections in Park City and that made all the difference for us! Highly recommend hiring her and using her team from the start to have the best recommendations for vendors! Thank you Tonya and team!

lanning on. We had to scramble and throw a plan B together, which normally would be super stressful, but Tonya took the reigns and created a dream wedding dinner at our cabin and a reception days later in our yard. It was absolutely magical and Tonya took care of every little detail. My daughter and her husband were thrilled with the outcome. I would highly recommend Hoops for planning you event. Tanya is so easy to work with, and she makes sure that everything is done exactly the way you want.

ped relieve those stresses for me (the bride), my groom and our families, but executed the most incredible wedding a bride could ever dream of. Angela was beyond professional throughout the whole planning process and paid such close attention to detail throughout all communication. She was such a joy to work with and did it all with a smile on her face. I highly recommend her and Hoopes Events for any party planning needs! She far exceeded all of my expectations and made my COVID wedding the most beautiful and memorable wedding.

But thanks to Angela Menlove from Hoopes Events, we did not have to worry about anything. We met Angela back in August when we flew to Utah for wedding planning. After our first meeting, we knew that we were in good hands. Her personality, smile, attention to detail, knowledge of vendors, take charge attitude and calming demeanor told us within 2-minutes that she was the planner we wanted (and needed) for our daughter's wedding. Angela took care of EVERYTHING! Wedding weekend events went off without a hitch. From the Friday rehearsal to the "day of" activities, Angela took care of it all. There is no challenge that she could not solve. We loved her so much that our intention is to fly her to Florida when our third daughter gets married. Thank you Angela for making K & S's wedding day PERFECT!

last minute and Tonya and Stephanie provided the perfect wedding. Everything from start to finish was well organized and the wedding was absolutely beautiful. I would work with Hoopes Events again in a heart beat!

st contacted Hoopes we worked with Angela, who made something that was starting to feel more stressful than fun start to feel like we really could plan a perfect day. We signed up for the “month of” planning package which worked out great—Hoopes was available to answer our questions before the month of, and the month of the wedding they handled everything. Our coordinator was Tonya, who was beyond amazing. Anytime we were feeling stressed talking to her would calm all our worries! When unforeseen last-minute issues popped up, she handled them seamlessly. Our wedding was better than we ever imagined, and it couldn’t have happened without Hoopes. Cannot recommend them highly enough!

her team handled it with ease! From start to finish, it was a pleasure to work with this group. They promptly returned phone calls and emails. Tonya was conscious of our budget and willing to make adjustments along the way. Tonya also has valuable relationships with local vendors, such as a calligrapher and videographer. With Tonya overseeing all of the details of the ceremony, dinner, and reception, I was able to visit with our guests. Tonya and her assistants helped ensure that my daughter and her husband had a wonderful wedding. Hiring Hoopes Events was a very wise decision!

sion. Weddings never go as planned, so you really need someone like her to have all of your bases covered. She is also well-connected, so many of our services (calligraphy, lighting, flowers) were handled under her umbrella which was nice. I will not think twice about using Hoopes Events again in the future if I ever have another large event!

Denver and got married in Park City, so we had a few in person meetings and the rest were over the phone and everything will went so smoothly! Angela was always available to talk and so responsive with her emails. My parents are both in their late 70s so I was really concerned with how they would do in the altitude. Angela gave me recommendations for oxygen and helped us out with getting wheelchairs coordinated. My parents were so grateful. I received a lot of comments from friends and family on how great Angela was and how on top of everything she was and I said...I KNOW! She was a rockstar and I know our day went off flawlessly because of her :)

being able to start setting up the new venue until 2 hours before the wedding guests arrival, everything was just as beautiful as had originally been planned. She was a miracle worker and kept us all calm.

and new wedding planner and basically start from scratch on the entire process. I contacted Tonya based on some online reviews and she replied immediately to set up an initial call and start our process. Tonya very quickly adapted to our vision and design and executed it flawlessly even in the short time that we worked together on our event. Our event consisted of 4 different pieces over the course of 24 hours and the execution of each one was everything we were hoping for for our wedding weekend. Our wedding planning included a large family with multiple opinions and several points of contact. While we thought that this may pose a challenge to any potential planner, Tonya and team took it in stride and made it a point to keep everyone apprised of any developments or information. Emails and phone calls were answered within 24 hours maximum (more often even less time) and the entire team was beyond patient with us; able to easily schedule calls around everyone’s business (even at the last minute). We truly felt like the entire time we were working with them that we were their only client (even though that was hardly true); the level of dedication given to us was unbelievable. One thing we were worried about with any planner was the ability to throw a great event while sticking to our budget, but Hoopes Events worked very hard to make sure everything that we wanted was available to us at a price that we were comfortable with. Tonya and team did an outstanding job sticking to our vision and getting us everything we wanted within the initial budget that we had laid out. They were honest and transparent about pricing, gave us excellent advice, and advocated for us when we needed their help. Overall, Hoopes Events staff are excellent listeners, great communicators, and will make sure that no detail goes forgotten. Both Hoopes Events and their partner Fleur and Stems made our event beyond perfect in very little time and made it seem easy.

ng up to the wedding, and we had our dream wedding because of her efforts. She was a life saver in negotiations, vendor selection, and coordination for all contracts and timeline of our wedding. Angela is a super nice and very easy to work with. I would recommend her to anyone who wants a stress free wedding experience!

g all aspects of our yard, and made sure the guests were well cared for and had a great time. I’d highly recommend them for any wedding!

re Lodge was transformed from rustic to elegant! Everything from the tables, draping , flowers and lighting looked first class. Leez was our “day of” coordinator and made sure everything ran smoothly . She went the extra mile with everything from extra corsage pins to making sure the best man spoke at the right time. Everything ran so smoothly on the wedding day because Leez had a timeline we could follow that kept us on track but allowed plenty of time for fun and lots of photos! The bride and groom were really able to enjoy their wedding day because Hoopes did such a great job planning and coordinating everything which put them at ease. They were thoughtful professionals and I highly recommend them!!!

for all of our decor and floral, Stephanie did a fantastic job of making my vision a reality. She listened to every detail I wanted and definitely went above and beyond getting the decor and floral exactly how I wanted. The quality on everything was extremely nice and our event looked classy and very polished. Leez was our planner and outdid herself as well! Leading up to the wedding she took care of things I didn't even know we needed to worry about. Thanks to her running the show I was unbelievably relaxed the day off and able to completely enjoy myself! The timeline Leez put together for the day of the wedding was seamless and she made sure everything was executed to perfection. Looking back at the wedding we still can't believe how perfect the entire thing was, we owe all of the credit to Hoopes!

dding at Solitude Mountain, we knew Tonya would be a central part of it. She is the perfect combination of organized and flexible. She recognizes that weddings need certain elements to run effectively, but there are a lot of things that can be tailored to create a mood or theme that is unique to the couple she is helping. She is also an outstanding problem solver. In many cases, she fixed things that we did not even realize went wrong until long after the wedding. She also has a support team that is organized and make you feel like there are 2 or 3 Tonya's on your big day! Tonya was also crucial to planning the full wedding weekend- from organizing transportation for the golf tournament, to a fun Friday welcome BBQ, to the actual day itself. Tonya was helpful and engaged at all the right moments during our planning. And was especially crucial in the weeks leading up to the weekend and the day of. If you want a professional who cares about your wedding as much as you do, Tonya is your planner.

and made the whole process seem effortless! She has a wealth of knowledge and she was a wonderful addition to my daughter’s wedding! She definitely made my daughter’s wedding perfect!

ht I had just about everything figured out. Thank goodness for Leez and her expertise. I had NO IDEA how much more I still had to figure out, and she was instrumental in helping me determine what I still needed to figure out. She created a timeline, which she reviewed with myself and all of the vendors regularly to ensure we were all on the same page. She made suggestions to any fuzzy/empty areas I had not completely committed to yet. She posed questions to things I didn't even realize I needed to consider. I can't express enough how grateful I am to have had Leez as my wedding coordinator. She even kept an eye on us throughout the night to ensure we ate and drank plenty of water. I can't even imagine how many things she did behind the scenes that I didn't get a chance to thank her for. Leez truly made everything possible, and we are so grateful to have had her. She is so experienced, knowledgeable, professional, thoughtful, helpful, stop me when I've used enough amazing adjectives. She was awesome!

ave possibly had a better experience. Our wedding was absolutely beautiful, and because Angela was so organized and on top of everything, we got to truly enjoy and be present for the day. From the beginning, Angela was a complete joy to work with. She’s lovely, friendly, and was always completely on top of every single detail. She never dropped a single ball, and made sure our many vendors didn’t either. Because we live out of town and are very busy with our jobs, we made only two trips to Salt Lake in advance of our wedding (and only had two total days of planning on the ground there). She gave us excellent vendor referrals. Coming from out of town, we had no idea where to start and couldn’t take the time to meet most of our vendors so we were a little nervous, but everyone we hired on her recommendation was excellent. She also provided a lot of knowledge and expertise when it came to rentals, and really helped us stay in our budget by giving us options and suggestions at different price points. We had a pretty unique hybrid Hind-western ceremony. Angela was familiar enough with the Hindu wedding traditions and local Hindu priest to provide helpful advice on that front as well. Finally, I’d like to add that we shopped around for wedding planners and Hoopes offered very competitive pricing.

thing off without a hitch. We had lots of special requests, from elaborate decor, to games to a Harry Potter themed candy bar and Angela made sure to help us make everything go smoothly. She was great at making sure we covered things we wouldn't have otherwise thought of so that there weren't any surprised. People are still coming up to us, months and months later talking about how beautiful everything was and how cool the decor was. Angela played a huge role in that! We are so happy we had her help and would absolutely recommend her and Hoopes to anyone who needs wedding (or other event) help.
