Hoopes Events

h 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.

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.

e 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!

. 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!

at 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!

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!
