Incredible to work with!

My husband and I used Hoopla’s services for our May 2024 wedding. We can’t say enough good things about our experience working with the entire Hoopla team. Dori was absolute life-saver - helping us plan the day and work through all the details. Throughout the entire process she was kind, responsive, and she thought of every last thing. We truly could not have done this without her.
Chefs Kat and Todd were incredibly easy to work with. They made sure we were happy with everything during our tasting and were more than willing to incorporate any notes we had for them.
Janet, our day of coordinator, was so lovely. She made sure that as the bride, I didn’t have to focus on anything else other than enjoying the day. She made sure everything ran smoothly.
As for the food, it was spectacular! We had guests chasing down the waiters during cocktail hour, as they couldn’t get enough of the Amish Soft Pretzels! I was warned in advance as a bride to make sure I ate on my wedding day, and I had no trouble doing so. Everything was delicious. My husband and I even went back to The Food Market to celebrate our one week anniversary!

Creative and Beautiful

Hoopla review,
Hoopla was an amazing catering and food service team to work with! Dori, Kat, and Todd were so easy to work with and they helped us create a wonderful menu for our wedding guests. Everything from the food tasting with them to the desserts at the wedding reception. All of our guests loved the food and wanted to know who catered it. We highly recommend them!

Absolutely incredible from beginning to end

My husband and I are local to Baltimore so when we started to plan our vendors for our wedding, Hoopla was the only choice. Food Market is our favorite restaurant in the city and their catering experience gave us the exact same experience we love. We cannot thank the team enough for their help and support. I was a newly gluten free bride and the team customized ALL of our desserts and made a special Gluten Free salad just for me. Our guests raved about the food during and continue to bring it up months after our October wedding. We decided on a buffet, which I was nervous about. The staff served the guests food to help maintain a proper flow and it allowed our guests to come back for seconds. I cannot imagine a better partnership than we had with hoopla.
I’ve included photos from our photographer but also from our tasting, in Food Markets private room. The chefs were on hand to make any adjustments we wanted (gluten free problems) and were so accommodating. Dori took away all the stress I gave my self on seating plans, table set up, and linens. Just wow from start to finish.
