Hoopes Events

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!

ike 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!

eetings 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 :)

re the wedding guests arrival, everything was just as beautiful as had originally been planned. She was a miracle worker and kept us all calm.

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.

r 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!

red for and had a great time. I’d highly recommend them for any wedding!

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!!!

f 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!

t 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.

knowledge and she was a wonderful addition to my daughter’s wedding! She definitely made my daughter’s wedding perfect!

eez 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!

y 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.

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.

periods of time where I didn’t hear anything from Tonya, many times forcing me to initiate check-ins. There were a many little things that added up, and it mainly came down to difficulty in communication. For example, their company arranged our welcome bags, but my now-husband and I spent a lot of time the day before our wedding fixing many mishaps with the bags. Half of the bag contents were ready, half weren’t; and some guests didn’t even receive their bags. I had to hand out the rest after rehearsal dinner. I feel that, as a bride, a wedding planner should lower your stress level and handle all of the details that would make your day harder if you had to do on your own. Overall, I don’t feel like the cost I paid for the services outweighed the stress and mishaps that happened along the way.

couldn’t have been luckier. She was attentive and responsive to every concern or question we had during the process. Angela accompanied us on our site visit and met with our vendors which we greatly appreciated because she took the time to really understand our “vision” and what mattered the most to us. We used several rental pieces from Hoopes including chairs, linens, and vases which looked great and were well priced. The week of the wedding was enjoyable as we were confident that our wedding planner was working with all of our vendors and setting everything in motion. The day of the wedding ran perfectly as Angela created a perfect timeline for our needs and took care of everything so that we were able to enjoy the day without stress. I cannot fully express how much we loved Hoopes Events, we would highly recommend their services. Angela was the best wedding planner. Angela’s kindness, efficiency, and compassion helped make our wedding a dream come true.

would recommend them for any type of event. They take the time to formulate my ideas into the complete lovely decor. Rental items were in Great quality and clean. Thank you for being honest and understanding through the diverse events.

ucial to my out of town planning. Practically every vendor for my wedding was a result of their suggestion and ALL OF THEM were fantastic! Angela is the girl you NEED for your wedding day! She made me feel taken care of, eased all of my concerns and was VERY detail oriented! EVERYTHING from my rehearsal, rehearsal dinner, wedding ceremony, reception, and exit were PERFECTION because of this team. I used their decor rental service for practically all of the decorations and they were stunning! I owe the success of my wedding to Hoopes events, THANK YOU!

cake, and centerpieces were beautiful!

g vendors and getting in touch with them before the wedding to make sure everything was in order. I can't say enough wonderful things about Angela and would recommend her to anyone looking to plan an event.

ect---TWICE!

not a single stress factor on my wedding day. She truly committed to the entire day and stayed until late that evening ensuring everything was wrapped up and settled. If you are looking for a wedding planner, Angela is your gal!

uge importance. Angela and the team did a great job executing the vision I had for the day! Hoopes was great with communicating and setting expectations as well as following up on details I hadn’t gotten to yet. On the week and day of, as last minute items came up, she did a great job letting me text and call about anything, and essentially took all the stress away that I was expecting to have. Pre-during-and post wedding details were all taken care of! I would definitely recommend working with Hoopes! :)

t the experience which is what you need in a coordinator. Everything went super smoothly and I would recommend her in a heartbeat.

gh but doing it from across the country multiplies the difficulty. My daughter and I had initiated the planning process on our own and had several items on the check list completed. Angela was willing to help with any aspect of what remained and on any level. Angela was efficient, organized, responsive, super creative and so accommodating when things were seemingly crazy...she personally dropped off my daughters bridal bouquet for her bridal shoot. Our luncheon and reception were especially challenging as we had individually themed items on every table... personalized with the bride and groom's courtship timeline as well as items showcasing their personalities and areas of interest. Angela made sure she understood our vision and she kept all parties on track from the caterer, venue contact, baker and florist to name a few. Everyone involved had a clear picture and understanding of what was expected of them. She made sure the final execution of all activities on the wedding day were flawless. Angela's professionalism and "can do...nothing is impossible attitude" matched with her calm resolve made the entire process one that we can look back on with fond memories. The only upsetting part is that now the wedding is over I will not be working with Angela. She is a special person that truly cares about her clients. Thank you Angela for being a part of such a special day and for being the reason it was so perfect!

dding planner at first, but I can't stress enough how grateful I am we had Angela to help us make our ideas a reality. The wedding was the best day my husband and I could have asked for, and the bridesmaids/groomsmen were amazed at how little they had to do to help. Angela took care of just about everything. :)

them!!! They are absolutely awesome to work with!! They have all the rentals that you would ever need and they are very willing to bring them to St. George. We rented a gorgeous wooden arch for the ceremony and 130 white padded chairs. They also have beautiful wood chairs and farm tables, among other things. My daughter and I lined up all the vendors in advance and had a rough outline of how we wanted things to happen. Then I worked with Angela, who took over all the planning the month prior to the wedding. She was amazing! She took all of the stress off of me because she followed up with everyone and made sure they knew exactly what to do and what time to arrive. She also created a timeline for the day of the wedding and kept everything on schedule. If I had any concern all I had to do was tell her and she would handle it. I was so glad to have her advice and knowledge as this was my first daughter to get married. I was able to come to the wedding and just be a guest. I didn't have to worry about a thing! Angela is so friendly and fun to work with. She literally made the whole event so enjoyable for me. If you are wondering if having a wedding planner is really necessary, believe me, it is worth every penny!!! I will do it the same way when my other daughter gets married. And I would definitely recommend Hoopes Weddings to anyone and especially Angela!! They are seriously the best!! Thank you so much Angela!!

Tonya

nner to advise what vendors to use, book them and schedule meetings relieves so much stress. If you are still unsure at least book a wedding planner for the day of your wedding. It was so nice to not have to worry about everything on the big day. There's already so many other things you have to worry about! Hoopes did a wonderful job and our wedding was beautiful. Not only did it go off without a hitch we now have expert vendors for future parties. Thanks so much!!

desires. Tonya and her team listened and advised so that the end result was everything she had envisioned! Tonya helped monitor costs and repeatedly found ways to get us what we wanted for less than our first options came in at. Her can-do attitude and calm demeanor helped us all enjoy the entire wedding weekend! We highly recommend Hoopes Weddings!!

y two year wedding anniversary, but I still fume to myself about my experience with Tonya when I think about my wedding day. Invitations: they forgot to include the return stamps in the invitations, which is just sloppy. Bartending: we went with her recommendation for bartending service, and that was a huge mistake. The lines were SO long. The "bartenders" were practically children, who did not know how to use a keg, people were waiting forever in line to get a cup full of foam. They piled trash next to the drink stands. Water: there was none! It was 105 degrees and there wasn't water accessible for people to drink. This is an example of the reason you hire a wedding planner, so you don't have to think about these things. Wedding favors: we paid money for macaroon party favors for the guests, and when I went inside at the end of the night, they were just sitting on a table in the kitchen. Was I supposed to put them out? Your experience may be different than mine, but my impression was that Tonya was in way over her head.

So glad I found Tonya.

eir planners! She helped me expand upon the idea I had for my wedding theme. She had tons of good ideas, and a vision of how to make it the perfect evening! Every other place I saw, I would have to use several different vendors to get what I need, but Hoopes has everything you could think of for decorations! The price can't be beat. It is the best value for your money for sure! I was not disappointed with anything. They completely transformed the building we had our reception in, it was absolutely beautiful. We got so many compliments. Not to mention, all of the staff was very friendly. Also, they have tons of good recommendations for services/vendors that they don't already cover in house! I would highly recommend Hoopes Weddings and Events!

n email saying it would raise the prices of the other rental items on the package. That was NEVER said nor is it in the contract. I could have definitely done without that stress. In the end I don't think they charged us additionally for the other package items, and like I said, it turned out beautifully.

s it all. Hayley even connected me with a florist who also did an amazing job with my flowers. Thank you Hayley and Hoopes team, my wedding was such a beautiful and special event that will never forget!

covered.

fortlessly turned my ideas into a reality! To this day, all those that attended still talk about how wonderful it all turned out. Thanks Hoopes!!!

dding-specific things that we would never have found otherwise and invested a lot of time and effort into making sure all of our vendors knew about the unique details that come with an Indian wedding. They were very responsive and made all of our ideas become a reality. The events were executed so perfectly that I did not have to worry about anything during the entire process and we were actually able to enjoy the whole wedding. Their professionalism is unmatched and they bent over backwards to help us stay within our budget. I cannot say enough good things about Hoopes Events and would recommend them without a doubt to anyone who is in need of a wedding planner.

th out a hitch because of their awesome work.

always got things done quickly and professionally. When we ran into a few set backs with the facility we were using to hold the reception, she was able to take charge and get things right. She was fun to work with and knows her stuff! It is such a HUGE benefit to work with a company that has a large warehouse full of their own decorations, tables, chairs, etc, etc!!! Definitely more affordable than renting out from several different places and a lot more convenient! I highly recommend Hoopes Events and Jamie for any wedding or partying events!

s could have been insane, but they handled literally every aspect that I asked them to, and some I didn't even think about! They found me incredible vendors who were all well within my budget, and they made sure everything was organized and ran smoothly. There were no hiccups with planning or the wedding (at least, not that I was every aware of!). They were there the whole day to make sure everything was going as planned, and took care of me and my needs, too. I never once got stressed or overwhelmed by the process of planning or at my wedding thanks to the amazing girls (and guys) at Hoopes. They are truly miracle workers, the fairy godmothers of the Wedding industry in my opinion, and there is no better group to work with for your wedding or really any event. With them you will not be disappointed, and they will make all your fairytale dreams come true. <3

ultiple events over the course of 4 days and Tonya helped us through every step. Tonya is extremely competent and good at her job. She immediately understood our vision and gently steered us in the right direction. One of the things we like best, is her understated nature and her strong network of professionals. Instead of trolling website for hours looking for the right vendors, Tonya gave us several suggestions for local vendors she trusts and works with, she facilitated the introductions and let us decide who we felt best with. Once the decision was made, Tonya followed up on all the contract and logistical matters. One of the best things I can say is that we barely spoke with our vendors after the initial calls, yet everything was perfect on our wedding day. I don’t know what went on behind the scenes, but it was magic. Tonya and her team were present and extremely active the month-of, week-of and day-of. On the Thursday of our wedding weekend, there was a fire at the hotel where our 30+ rooms of guests were staying. By the time Tonya called us with the news, she had solved the problem. All our guests moved to a different hotel and the rest of the operation was seamless. I cannot stress enough, how amazing a ‘pivot’ like that is. It takes a real professional to solve a problem that big by 10:45am. Our wedding was seamless, the timing was perfect and the ballroom was beautiful. She and her team are wonderful and we highly recommend Tonya Hoopes and Hoopes Events.

tly how to appeal to my tastes and catered to them perfectly!

ing. I also love her because she just handles things without worrying her client! I had total peace of mind throughout the whole planning experience. She's a catch. Highly recommend her.

with our bride, walked through the wedding with her step-by-step - suggesting photographers, videographers, centerpiece options, etc. - and helped her feel confident and comfortable with her decisions.

was that I didn't have to worry about being there to set up for the reception. She was there to set up and by the time I arrived at the reception, everything was done! I knew I could trust her with that from my previous experience working with her over the phone. Hoopes Design is an affordable wedding decor option for ANY type of wedding theme. BOOK THEM TODAY!

ge seemed very steep for the pictures they were able to provide to show us. There was somebody else's half empty water bottle on the table right in front of me which they didn't bother to clear off, and they repeatedly made excuses for not having a good portfolio to show us because their boss was out of the country. All in all, I was highly unimpressed by their lack of "wow factor" and their inability to show us any pictures of weddings they had done that were similar to what I wanted. Don't get your hopes up.

eading various planning books we had too many ideas and zero knowledge about where to even start. We ran to Tonya in a hot frantic mess. After the first five minutes she had reorganized our cookie cutter plans into a unique direction that fit our ideal concept so very well. Tonya has this beautiful ability to take away the stress of planning and make it fun! Everything is so well organized and coordinated on a daily basis it’s easy to place 100% confidence in her. She thinks of everything before it can grow into a problem. We had heard from our married friends to plan for something to go wrong on our wedding day. Well, we can honestly say that was not the case – indeed everything exceeded our expectations. At no point during the whole process were we worried about anything. All we had to do was show up and have a great time! We would (and do!) recommend Hoopes Events to any stranger, friend, business associate, or family member for any event!

with a timeline to follow and offered her services every step of the way in decorating, contacting vendors, offering thoughts regarding flow and layout, etc. Everything turned out beautifully and a wonderful time was had by all. Shauna is a credit to Hoopes Weddings! We would highly recommend her to be by your side in your wedding planning.

ion I made!

ighting and scheduling out the day down to the minute. She was always available and got back to me very quickly. She is a sweet, generous person but is also strong and organized. She worked so efficiently on my wedding day to get everyone where they needed to be and for it all to run smoothly. I barely noticed she was there, but when I needed her she was right there to guide me or correct any little thing. Just incredible. She made my day stress-free and perfect. I highly recommend Shauna and the Hoopes Weddings team.

out Hoopes Weddings is that they have everything you need, and everything you could want. Tables, chairs, linens, decor, serving dishes, etc. It was so so SOOO convenient to get everything from them rather than going to several different vendors to get all the supplies. They are so flexible and will help you with as little or as much as you want. I loved my wedding and am glad I had the extra help from Hoopes Weddings!

have found Hoopes sooner. I look forward to working with them again.

our day went off smoothly and without a hitch. Not only was Tonya running around and making sure everything was set up perfectly on our wedding day, but she even went out and got us a guestbook (which we had forgotten to get) on the morning of our Big Day. I cannot recommend Hoopes Events highly enough. If you want to have an amazing, stress-free wedding, YOU CANNOT GO WRONG WITH HOOPES!!! <3

e entire process. She had so many great recommendations and helped make our dream wedding come true. We couldn't believe how every vendor we worked with raved about how great Tonya is. Thank you Tonya!

on. Many people from our city commented that they did not know the town hall could look so festive! Hoopes Weddings were prompt and efficient without being overbearing in any way. I would highly recommend them for any event!

t vague ideas I had for the wedding, as well as work through varying expectations from my other family members. The company was very flexible and accommodating, and the crew that helped with day-of setup really came through when my mother and I were stressed and under a lot of pressure. I would definitely recommend Hoopes Events for wedding planning, coordination, and party equipment rentals.

things run smoothly. Tonya went above and beyond, staying late to help with tasks that weren't really part of the contract. It was great to have someone to be in charge other than my mom (or my bride's mom!), they were stressed enough as it was. Her presence kept things on track and we had a great reception. I would highly recommend Tonya and her team.

I am very grateful for. My wedding ended up going very smoothly and our families have said its the best wedding they've ever been too! ;) Thanks Tonya!

d. I live out of state and was still able to get everything I wanted because of Stephanie. I would recommend her to everyone!

Somehow Tonya made the food stretch to feed everyone. This seemed like a miracle since we had many more guests than expected. I was absolutely thrilled with the service, decorations, and food.

Village Events. All the guests were treated to appetizers prior to the meal. There were sufficient waiters and waitresses so that the meals were presented to the guests warm and in a timely manner. It was a wonderful event and I would highly recommend Hoopes Weddings.

he bride and groom felt special and that it was not only their day but that the items that were important to them not only happened but were exactly as my granddaughter wanted. The day of the wedding it was very cold outside Hoopes Wedding was very flexible and even made sure that the venue was prepared for guests to arrive early to the indoor dinner. I would highly recommend Hoopes Weddings and Events to anyone and everyone. The whole staff was wonderful.

hotos and video, this was a day they made even more special then we would have ever dreamed! Thank you Tonya!
