Hoopes Events

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 wether 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!

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 the 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.

We used Angela for ALL our wedding planning, not just day of, and I will say it was the best money spent on the entire wedding. I can honestly say I was not stressed with the wedding 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.
