She helped me with all the things i couldn't find that i had wanted to order and had all kinds of other ideas to add to mine and has all kinds of connections with other vendors to find EXACTLY what i wanted! I would recommend Krista and Hoopla Events to ANYONE trying to plan a wedding or anything other big event!

I am a HUGE fan of Hoopla Events. They have now successfully coordinated our annual "Seeds of Hope"…read moreauction for the past two years. As a busy non-profit director of an agency that serves 4 counties and over 5,000 people a year it would be impossible for me to accomplish an auction without help. The Team at Hoopla brings more than just "help"- they bring a positive "can-do" attitude, experience and know how! When I begin to get overwhelmed with the 1,000 details I am reassured and as we go through each item--I learn that they have already been addressed and there was no cause for concern. I strongly recommend others consider using Hoopla for their event coordination. With Hoopla we have doubled our fundraising goals. They are the best!

Alex was a gem for our wedding day, just a few days ago! She flawlessly coordinated both the…read moreceremony and reception and did a wonderful job getting everything ready before the fun began. She is such a nice person and it was truly a joy to work with her. We had two very helpful Skype meetings before the wedding to go over all the details. On the day of the wedding, when I was nervous for everything to begin (having decided to skip an actual rehearsal), Alex lined all of us up and everything went fine! All of the little details and items that needed to be put in very specific places were there--she got it all set up so I didn't have to worry about anything. She guided us to where we were supposed to be after the ceremony and even bustled my dress for me! She kept us on track with our timeline, which was very important (lots of guests stopping us to chat) and she made sure that each toast-giver was ready to go! As the time for the end of the reception drew near, Alex was quick to clean everything up and box it all up, making sure that everything we needed to take home with us was given to the right people. After the wedding, she even sent me several videos of the ceremony, which were such a joy to see! Alex is a top-notch event coordinator and I could not be happier that we found her! I can't imagine that my wedding day would have gone so perfectly without her help. Thank you, Alex!!

I LOVE ZUNI TALES!!! If you are looking for an event…read moreplanner, then stop your search and just book Zuni Tales for your upcoming events. They are extremely professional and well organized, my husband and I attended a birthday party this month and we were amazed to see, the detailed work they have done in their decoration. We really love the photobooth and seating area, which was so impeccable and really cute, also, they focused on each little thing, like the separate fun area and games for the children. The food was so delicious and presented perfectly, they kept something for every age to keep them engaged yet maintained the privacy for each and every different group, this was the best birthday event I have ever attended. I highly recommend them!!

They are very prompt at responding to our questions/ideas and always excited to execute on them. On my request, Mittal made a diaper cake for our decor, which was beyond adorable! They came up with the entire concept for the theme and made sure that everything that they committed to, was actually a part of the decor at the event. They also MCed games for us at the shower and all our guests had a lot of fun with their engaging game ideas. Super creative folks, I highly recommend them. I'd definitely hire them for more events!

It just seemed like no one wanted to make a sale or be helpful. It was over all just disappointing, so we left.

Thank you for responding but I'm not sure you get a clear picture of what happened. When I picked…read moreup the chairs, I did count and I was given 25 chairs. The problem was I actually took back 35 chairs and 10 chairs were not your companies. I was told in less than an hour, your company counted ALL of your inventory and did not have any extra chairs BEFORE I came and picked up the chairs that didn't belong to you. When I picked up the chairs they all fit in my trunk but bring back some had to sit up front. My problem was I probably should not have allowed others to help me load them and when I dropped them off I should not have allowed your staff to tell me "Im good" when he didn't bother to count them. So Mike you don't have to feel sorry for me. Lesson learned. This a WARNING for others to learn from my mistake of being too trusting of your staff.

Planning a wedding is supposed to be one of the most exciting things - and stressful things in…read more your life. Wedding planners are SUPPOSED to make this process bearable, and help with your big day. Something is bound to go wrong, and hey that's life. However that was not the case with my experience with JDH Events. First of all, Jacques boasts about how the sky is the limit and he will do whatever it takes to make your day perfect. He constantly talks about previous clients and what vendors offer him kickbacks for using their services. He also states that he offers unlimited meetings (granted he did travel to our location and took notes). The communication I had with JDH was all one way. At one point in time he hired another planner to take over my wedding - who was fantastic at communication and brainstorming ideas. Then all of a sudden that planner disappeared and Jacques was back to planning my wedding and weeks after no communication he calls me to explain the situation. Jacques promised to take care of my tables and bar tenders as a way of apologizing for the hiccups in the planning process. I had a walk through of the venue and specially asked for a specific location for the ceremony, and pointed out where I wanted things to go. Jacques didn't take note of anything. A week before the wedding Jacques came to my house to pick up wedding décor - to which at this point he never asked where anything was going. I had put notes on each tub and drew rough pictures of how I wanted things set up. I reminded Jacques about an issue we had with a our caterer who had promised to give us a gallon of sauce for free. (I even saw Jacques write that note down.) He ensured me that everything would be set up for me to go over at the rehearsal. At the rehearsal after we dropped off the remaining bits of décor, the ceremony site was set up in a completely different spot than I had asked and nothing else was set up. Jacques stated that he decided to wait until the morning of to get everything set up and any time I tried to move décor to where I wanted it, his staff told me to stop and "enjoy the day". Jacques then took over the rehearsal and ran us through everything so fast that we didn't even have time to practice exchanging rings and then left the venue. I had talked to Jacques about what I envisioned as far as decorations for the day of. None of it happened. At all. After I arrived to the venue on the morning of the wedding all the décor was thrown onto random tables. The ceremony arch was wrong and I had to point it out to him. It's like he never listened or looked at any notes I had given him. I spent hundreds of dollars on decorations that were never put out. I have wedding pictures of my decorations on tables, in bags. I have wedding pictures of my name spelled incorrectly on tables. I have wedding pictures of pictures that were supposed to be hung around trees, in piles on tables and the ground. I worked so hard an when I saw what was put up, I was heart broken. I had to tell my wedding party to move things as I had no faith in JDH at this point. For the dinner, my husband and I did a pig roast and had the side dishes catered. I purchased vendor meals to ensure that all of my vendors had a chance to get some meat (since I wasn't sure when they would grab food) A part of the vendor meals were bags of chips. There was only 10 of them, and instead of asking - Jacques put the chips out for the regular guests, so it looked like poor planning on our part. There was also no sauce. At all. I asked Jacques where the sauce was and he told me the restaurant didn't give them any when they picked up the food. Instead he handed my husband and I, small to-go sized containers of sauce. Nothing else for my guests. Jacques had even written himself a note to remind the store of the gallon of sauce they promised us - and nothing. He decided to wait until we were sending guests to get food to tell us, when we could have ran to the store (which was less than 10 minutes) to make sure the guests had something. When it came to clean up I informed JDH what rentals needed to leave with specific people. My maid of honor also had volunteered to meet him the next day to pick up rentals (which he made her wait over an hour by her self at the venue after telling her he would be there) I had my florist call me on my HONEYMOON to ask when I was returning the rentals because Jacques had put them in my garage instead of returning them. My mother had to ship rentals back because Jacques handed her the wrong ones. Jacques returned 3 arches to my house, two of them broken. He decided to THROW AWAY our ceremony arch without speaking to us first. He offered to pay for it but money cannot replace the memories. If you are thinking of using JDH for your wedding, DO NOT DO IT. He ruined my wedding. I paid $3200 for a glorified day of coordinator that messed everything up. Worst mistake of my wedding planning was hiring him.
