Incredibly efficient and organized, she kept us on track every step of the way and made an otherwise overwhelming process feel totally manageable. Planning a wedding is so much work. We originally didn't plan on hiring a wedding planner, but there is truly no way I could have pulled off even 10% of what we did without her. It was a remote location in southern Utah, and despite the small town and far distance from vendors, she coordinated every detail and ensured we got the best deals including travel and delivery costs, and sourced the very best vendors that were willing to make the trek. Even the location was a hard to find gem that I never could have found on my own. To anyone on the fence about hiring a planner: do it. And if you've decided to hire one, please pick Shellie. She made our entire wedding weekend absolutely perfect and completely stress-free. We planned a large 80-person event that spanned the entire weekend, and the moment we arrived at the property on Thursday night, we didn't have to worry about a single thing all the way through Sunday. Everything ran seamlessly--and somehow, nothing went wrong. I would recommend her above and beyond, a hundred times over. It was a magical day that we'll remember for a lifetime!

The entire process felt very disorganized. In our experience, communication was unreliable - emails often went unanswered and Meredith missed several scheduled weekly calls without notice. We also found repeated mistakes in key planning details. We felt like we constantly had to follow up with them, track tasks ourselves, and double-check every detail, instead of the other way around. Meredith has a good design eye, but the execution and organization we experienced fell far below what we expected for full-service planning. Once we switched planners, the difference was night and day - the process became smooth, proactive, and stress-free. Brides beware! Working with Meredith was a stressful and terrible experience for us and we would strongly not recommend using this planner. Everything in this review reflects my personal experience and opinions.

I started out with a positive attitude and I was there three months. She's abusive to her employees. She didn't pay half of them for the season. They were all calling me and threatening me. She does not follow labor laws or even respect that they're there. Working for her almost gave me a nervous breakdown. I'm still trying to forget about how she let me go a week before Christmas. Telling me it's not working. Why? Because I saw all the crap she was doing and told her the legality of it all. She did not like that. Needless to say I got to watch her squirm to get everything together. I can't believe she is still in business. Nice knowing you. Terrible lady phew got away from that one in time. Love writing positive reviews I feel like anyone going in to work there should be warned. Its a shitshow

My husband teases me because my eyes lit up on our first call with Michelle the second she whipped out her color coded spreadsheet and started to explain her process. Boy did they not disappoint. I told so many people that I wished that Heather, our Executive Planner, planned more things in my life. Monthly calls with her for the two years leading up to the wedding were the highlight of the month. She could not have been more responsive or done a better job of keeping us on track. It was particularly reassuring to know that we were in good hands given that we were planning this wedding from afar. It was so helpful to have her team recommend pre-vetted vendors so all we needed to do was review their websites and have a quick chat (and of course we loved all their recommendations). Michelle was the one with the artistic vision who did all the gorgeous design work. Let me tell you, this wasn't just a few "vision board" photos. This was a 60+ page design document complete with suggestions for invitations to floral to drinks that matched! Then she and the team brought it to life. The wedding itself was an absolutely dream, above and beyond what we'd hoped, but that also wasn't a surprise because we'd known all along that we were in the best hands. Everyone commented on how relaxed I was on the day of the wedding, but that was because I trusted Heather and the team with 100% confidence and they did not disappoint. My mother-in-law now wants to be Heather's assistant! Boy are we going to miss working with this team.

Legit and a little bit extra!!…read more Life of the Party ... my go-to musical party people. DJ Rob knows his business and has a "beat" (pun intended) on what the current cultural music should be for each situation. I cannot recommend Rob enough. I have been to many weddings, corporate events, and neighborhood parties with Rob at the mic. Not once have I left disappointed. We had him come out to our neighborhood in May of 2020 where he put on the most incredible "Social Distance Dance Party." We stayed on our property and danced with Rob for about an hour. He adapted to the current climate (COVID-19) and made the day of my neighbors, young and old alike. Best neighborhood part we have ever had. And that is saying a lot because we have a lot of neighborhood parties! Book this crew for your next event. Thanks Rob!!

Hiring Hoopes was the best decision I made…read more I found Hoopes online through reviews so I want to be sure to share my feedback! We were thrown quite a curve ball the day of my wedding in that due to a completely unforeseeable situation, our venue became unavailable. I work as a project manager and can admit I am a very hands-on and organized person. I originally did not plan to hire any additional planning or coordinating services but finally decided an extra pair of hands would be helpful. Even if everything had gone according to plan, Roberta & Shelby were SO much more than just the extra pair of hands I thought I needed. There was no way any of us could have predicted the last minute venue change, but Roberta & Shelby handled it flawlessly. Without them, no amount of my organization or planning could have pulled off our wedding the way they did. Roberta was incredibly professional. She notified me early on of the changes, but only after she had time to begin working out a new action plan. I appreciated being kept in the loop, but also appreciated that she didn't call me the second the news broke...informing me of problems without potential solutions to offer would have been extra stress I didn't need in that moment. Roberta & Shelby were also absolutely in sync with Park City Resort and all of my other vendors. The communication and coordination was excellent. Because they had both taken the time to get to know me and understand my vision in the weeks leading up to the wedding, they did an amazing job of recreating our decor in a new venue space. Everything was exactly how I would have liked to see it, even though I wasn't available to provide any input. The planning leading up to our wedding was also perfectly executed. Roberta & Shelby asked the right questions, ran with my ideas, and prompted me to think about different approaches when appropriate. Roberta & Shelby are both extremely capable and professional, but what makes them stand a part from other professionals in your field is how genuine they are. They genuinely wanted to make this wedding my dream wedding, and they went above and beyond at every turn. Roberta even offered to hold our guest's baby during dinner so the couple could enjoy their meal. Although this wasn't something I saw, at least 20 of my guests did notice and made a point to tell me how amazing the Hoopes team was! That's exactly the kind of detail only a person genuinely committed to delivering an above and beyond experience would even think to do. My husband (!) and I are blown away by the HOOPES team.

I was never worried about anything falling through the cracks. I was also able to bounce ideas off of them and they always gave their honest opinion. They're also so kind and were genuinely fun to work with. Our wedding went perfectly because of them. We had a few bumps with the venue along the planning process, but Kristin & Kylee always solved any problem we came across. One thing I loved about working with Soiree was being able to meet with them at the venue in person on a few different occasions. This made me feel that much more confident in their execution as we could physically walk around the venue and talk about floor plans, decor, etc. On the day of the wedding, I couldn't have asked for a better team. We had to worry about literally nothing as the 2 of them took care of everything. They were also there at the very end of the night to help load and deliver the extra items that we weren't expecting to have to take home, which was so very much appreciated! I felt extremely confident throughout the entire process and am not exaggerating when I say they executed everything flawlessly and just how we had envisioned. Would highly recommend Soiree for any event planning needs!
