I absolutely adore Hoopes Events. They are one of those teams that make this industry better simply because of the way they show up.
They are incredibly experienced, wildly creative, organized, thoughtful, and genuinely wonderful people to work with. There is a confidence that comes from working alongside a team that really understands weddings and events from every angle. They know the logistics. They understand design. They know how to work with vendors. They know how to take care of a couple and their families. And they know how to keep a hundred moving pieces from ever feeling like a hundred moving pieces.
What I especially love about Hoopes Events is that they are so much more than just wedding coordination. Their team understands full-service wedding planning, event design, décor, lighting, tablescapes, custom installations, destination wedding logistics, vendor management, timelines, and guest experience. They can take a vision that exists only in someone’s head and somehow turn it into something you can actually walk into.
And they do it with such care.
If you are looking for a Utah wedding planner, Park City wedding planner, Salt Lake City wedding planner, luxury wedding planning in Utah, or an experienced destination wedding planning team, Hoopes Events is absolutely worth knowing. They have experience creating everything from intimate celebrations to large, detailed weddings and events, and they are especially wonderful at handling the little details that can completely change how a day feels.
I also really appreciate the way they approach culturally specific weddings. There is a huge difference between simply incorporating traditions and taking the time to understand why those traditions matter. Hoopes clearly understands the importance of respecting the people, families, cultures, and stories behind the celebration.
As a fellow wedding professional, I am always grateful when I see Hoopes Events on a vendor team. They are communicative, collaborative, prepared, kind, and committed to making the entire experience exceptional—not just for the couple, but for everyone involved.
For couples searching for one of the best wedding planners in Utah, they are a must have!!

We hired Mackenzie with Hoopes Events as our wedding planner and she was worth every penny. She was communicative from day one and always on time, which sounds basic but made everything else easy.
Once she entered the picture, we stopped worrying about coordinating vendors or timelines. She handled all of it. There were a few delays and hiccups on the day, but she handled them well and we never felt the stress of it. She was also great about special requests and rolled with everything, including some serious nitpicking from our parents, with total grace.
Our wedding day felt seamless because of her. If you're planning a wedding, hire Mackenzie. You will not regret it.

Mackenzie is an expert at what she does. I wholeheartedly recommend Hoopes Events!

our vendors and ensure every detail was covered. Tonya’s wealth of knowledge and local connections was invaluable, especially since we’re not local. They made the entire planning process smooth and stress-free, even with a few last-minute changes, including replacing our photographer just over a month out. Both Angela and Tonya got to know us as a couple and were so thoughtful about making recommendations that suited our taste and the experience we wanted to provide for ourselves and our guests. Thanks to them, we were able to relax and fully enjoy our wedding weekend while they handled every detail and brought our vision to life! We truly couldn’t have done it without them.

My husband and I felt confident during the process that everything was getting done with time to spare. We especially appreciated their attention to detail and calm presence on the wedding day. All the hard work paid off, and we had the best day ever! Thank you so much, Tonya and team!

I was initially worried about all the logistical challenges planning a wedding out of state and in a remote mountain location, but Tonya and Mackenzie were on top of things-- from coordinating vendor schedules, wedding day timelines, and even last minute changes, all with grace. In addition they were organized, responsive and full of creative ideas that made my daughter's wedding unique to her and her fiancé.

mily, so when Angela and Tonya's services kicked in, it felt like help had finally arrived! We were going to be okay! From the very beginning, Angela and Tonya were highly communicative, organized, and confident. I gave them a list of all my vendors and they independently reached out to each to ensure everyone was on the same page. They worked very hard to make sure everything we pictured in our head was translated seamlessly to real life. Leading up to the wedding, I was so fearful that my outdoor ceremony was going to be rained out. Tonya called me a few days before the wedding to discuss an indoor ceremony back up plan. She did a great job communicating what may need to happen while also keeping me calm and assuring me that she'd do everything she can to give me my outdoor ceremony. The morning of the wedding, I was an emotional mess because the forecast said it was going to rain. But did I have to do anything? Nope! Tonya scrambled behind the scenes so I could enjoy getting ready and having fun with my friends and family. A few hours before the wedding, Tonya texted me and said we're good to have the outdoor ceremony! I was so relieved. Still not sure how she worked her magic but I'm so grateful she did! The ceremony was wonderful. We ran a little behind schedule during the dinner/reception but Tonya was adaptive and would consult us along the way to ensure we got everything we wanted. I highly recommend Tonya, Angela, and Hoopes Events to anyone looking to actually have fun at their event. These ladies took everything off my plate so I could be in the moment with my husband, family, and friends. I'm so thankful that Hoopes was part of my wedding!

ANGELA MENLOVE
We want to give the biggest shout out to Angela Menlove from us for doing the decorations of a lifetime at our wedding! She was phenomenal! We spent over six months...
reaching out to her and getting her help deciding colors, themes, and all of our ideas! We saw many fun ideas on Instagram and Tiktok and she was able to make them a reality while also giving us direction in pointing out what would work best! Let me tell you all about how amazing she was! She went out of her way to be available for calls! We called her almost every weekend and she was basically our wedding planner as well! She was always ready for us to bounce our ideas off her and proved so instrumental in our wedding! She coordinated every detail and was available to make sure our visions turned into reality. We visited the venue multiple times before the wedding with Angela. We had four events over a two day period and she coordinated decorations of all the events. She worked with her floral team to set different areas with flowers. She was patient with us especially when we were going back and forth on various ideas and incorporating multiple changes. She transformed the venue with amazing decor. Everyone was amazed with the decorations of our wedding and I quote, “funnest, best looking wedding we’ve ever been to” -a ton of guests. We’ll definitely be booking her if we ever have any other party throwing needs and highly recommend to anyone needing help decorating their wedding! People should just pull the trigger and get married because then they could hire Angela for the most memorable weddings of their lives!!! We are grateful for her expertise and knowledge. Photographers were able to capture every detail for our memories that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. Thank you Angela! We love you :)
Love,

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.

Tonya Hoopes was the “Day Of” coordinator for my daughter’s destination wedding. She and her team were absolutely amazing. They were so organized, efficient, and wonderful to work ...
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.

Tonya Hoopes of Hoopes Events is the best wedding coordinator you can possibly find. Whether it’s Tonya who provides the wedding coordination, or someone from Tonya’s team, you wil...
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!

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.

Mackenzie at Hoopes helped us put on 3 nights of events during our wedding weekend. It was a great collaborative effort, and the weekend was fantastic.
Mackenzie was organized...
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!

Choosing Hoopes events, and Angela in particular was easily the best choice of our wedding. I looked at ~50 different planners, spoke with 10, and had a final round interview with ...
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!

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!!

We used Tonya Hoopes to help plan the wedding for our daughter. Our daughter’s wedding was Labor
Day Weekend at the Solitude Resort in Utah.
The wedding was a two-day affair with t...
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.

I had the privilege of working with Angela Menlove from Hoopes Events for my wedding and I can’t say enough wonderful things about my experience with her. We had a long engagement ...
(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!

Angela Menlove: Amazing Wedding Planner...Second to none!!
Planning a destination wedding, long distance, at an outdoor venue, during a pandemic could have been a little stressful....
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!

We planned our wedding from out of state and hiring Hoopes was the best decision we made! All our vendors were recommended by Hoopes and we were happy with all of them. When we fir...
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!

I highly recommend Tonya Hoopes and Hoopes Events. They are Fantastic!! Our venue (ski lodge mid-mountain) was tricky and we had limited time to set up and decorate, but Tonya and...
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!

Tonya and her team are absolutely amazing! I shopped around for a wedding planner, and Tonya was by far the most responsive and organized. She is very creative and has excellent vi...
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!

From the first meeting with had with Angela, we knew we had nothing to worry about. We could tell she had the personality where she was going to be ON IT and she was! We live in ...
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 :)

We found Tonya very friendly, knowledgeable and easy to work with. But where she really shined was the day of the wedding when weather necessitated a change of venue. Despite not...
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.

Hoopes Events quite simply blew us away in regards to our Indian/Christian Fusion wedding this September. About 12 weeks out from our wedding we found ourselves having to hire a br...
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.

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!!!

I can't say enough about how AMAZING Hoopes Events was to work with for our wedding! Tonya and her team created the absolute perfect wedding from start to finish.
We used Hoopes ...
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.
