The Hoopla team did an outstanding job of making my daughter’s Bat Mitzvah delicious and memorable. I was not working with an event planner and Dori stepped in to help with every detail. She made planning easy and the party was perfect because she had everything taken care of. I have received so many compliments about the food (especially the Pickle Bar that I asked for and the team at Hoopla executed perfectly). Every team member from Hoopla was polite, sweet, and helpful. I can’t way to work with Hoopla again!

The Hoopla team went above and beyond to make our wedding wonderful! Our food was amazing, and we received so many compliments! Having Dori as part of your planning team is an invaluable asset to any couple!

From the staff bringing appetizers to our table to make sure we got them, to the friendly bartenders making killer drinks, everything was perfect! The service was also flawless, and guests got their food quickly while it was still hot.

I have never had such great food at a wedding, and I couldn't have imagined having any other caterer - other caterers are just not at Hoopla's level.

—Paige S.

We were absolutely thrilled with Hoopla!! Number one feedback we got from our wedding guests: the food was absolutely outstanding!!

Not only did everyone at Hoopla make the planning process straightforward and easy, they also helped with thinking through details of the wedding that transcended just the meal. They helped us with room layout, tablescape, rentals, timing, and so much more.

The night of our wedding, Hoopla made distribution of food and drinks seamless. Everyone working could not have been lovelier.

Hoopla truly exceeded our expectations. We feel very grateful and cannot recommend them enough!!

—Rachel H.

Working with Hoopla has been a fantastic experience! When my partner and I first tried their food at the Food Market restaurant, we knew we had to hire Hoopla for our wedding. Their food is so fresh, it just blew away the competition. Our guests agreed too - we got so many compliments for the food throughout the wedding.

We had so many questions about logistics, what would and would not work, and Dori answered them all patiently and so much quicker than I would’ve hoped. She was flexible with us as our plans changed throughout the process, and made sure we were getting exactly what we wanted for the special day.

Huge thank you to Dori! Special shout-out to Kat as well for making sure everything was perfect on the day of the wedding. She made sure that we were looked after and smiling the entire time. Could not have asked for a better experience!

—Austin & Triton S.

We truly can’t think Dori and the whole Hoopla team enough for the incredible job they did. They were always quick to answer our questions and offered great recommendations on the most-loved food and dessert options. The service was outstanding. We’ve been fans of Hoopla for years so we knew the food would be amazing, but they still managed to exceed our expectations. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the food and drinks during the wedding and we’ve continued to receive so many compliments since. Thank you so much!

—Jocelyn C.

We cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience with Hoopla! Dori was SO helpful through the whole process and such a pleasure to work with. From start to finish, everything was absolutely perfect. The food was phenomenal! Every single guest we’ve talked to since the wedding has mentioned to us about how amazing the food was and that it was one of the best entrees/hors d'oeuvres they have ever had at a wedding. Guests were also talking about how friendly and attentive the staff were. The team went above and beyond to make sure my husband and I always had what we needed, and you could tell they genuinely enjoyed being part of our celebration.

Kat, one of the head chefs, was so kind and made a point to come out to talk to us which we thought spoke volumes!

We are very thankful to have been able to work with this awesome team on our wedding day. Everything exceeded our expectations, and we wish we could do it all over again with them!

—Paige S.

Hoopla were amazing for our rehearsal dinner and wedding! From our tasting to breaking down our wedding at the end of the night, the service was excellent, the food was delicious, and all the details were accounted for.

—Kelly B.

Great tasting food in a family style dinner was important to us in choosing the caterer for our wedding. We wanted to make sure our guests were able to share in a great meal together. Hoopla did a fantastic job!

Starting with our tasting, the Chefs were able to understand our tastes and come up with a spectacular menu. Everything from cocktail hour into dinner was delicious. The short rib is the best I've ever tasted. So many people have commented on the quality of the food since the wedding. The bar service was also excellent, and the bartenders made sure to take care of our guests.

The experience turned out to be everything we were hoping for and would definitely recommend Hoopla to anyone. Thank you to the entire team for a job well done!

—Liz & Brendan

Food was the most important thing to us as we planned our wedding, and we’re so glad we went with Hoopla. We have high standards for food and the team exceeded our expectations! Everyone raved about our food, especially the passed apps, roasted potatoes, and our signature drink. It’s a meal we’ll be thinking about for years to come!

We couldn’t be happier with everything, and want to give a huge thank you to the team for everything they did to make our wedding so special. We can’t wait to come back to enjoy our beloved pretzels in person at the restaurant!

—Sara K.

I just wanted to reach out and say thank you personally. The food was amazing, which we had no doubt it would be. The service was also spectacular. I heard tons of compliments about the food and service from our guests as well. 

McKenna and I talked to each other before the wedding, setting expectations that everything will probably not go perfectly. However, you guys were a big part in making our day perfect. We had genuinely no complaints and will recommend you guys to all of our friends that are getting married in the next few years. 

Thank you, again. We could have not asked for a better caterer. 

—Adam & McKenna

Great Great Great Food! Dori, Kat, and the entire Hoopla team absolutely KILLED IT for our wedding weekend. During initial conversations, the menu was explained clearly, and the tasting dinner in particular was a delight. Dori and Kat also let us freestyle the menu a bit by customizing with items available in the restaurant (The Food Market - check them out!) that weren’t on the catering menu. Dori was also flexible in letting us pick and choose a bar package that worked for us - we aren’t heavy drinkers, but wanted a signature cocktail, so they came up with a mocktail with an optional alcoholic add-on that was a perfect addition!
On the day, the entire team set up quickly and quietly, allowing us to focus on getting ready in peace and quiet (the reception was at a B&B, with guests staying upstairs and the catering setup downstairs). Everyone - from the chefs to the waitstaff, bartenders to setup crew - were absolute delights to work with, even in 90+ degree heat. Overall, I’d definitely recommend Hoopla catering to anyone that wants to have top-notch catering at their event!

—Katie

We truly don't have enough words to express how grateful we are for everything the entire Hoopla team did to make our wedding so special. From the very beginning, you all weren't just our caterers - you were our partners, advisors, and friends through every step of the planning process. You gave us incredible advice, listened to our vision, and helped shape the day into something even better than imagined.

The food was absolutely out of this world. Our guests are STILL raving about it - from the passed apps to the stations, the perfectly timed courses and the fantastic bar service. Everything was delicious, beautifully presented, and full of flavor and love.

But what stood out just as much as the food was how flexible, thoughtful, and kind everyone on the team was. Especially Kat, Todd and Dori - you made us feel so taken care of and you all went above and beyond to make sure everything felt personal and seamless. We always knew we were in the best hands.

It means so much to have people we know and trust by our side for one of the biggest days of our lives. Thank you for not just feeding us and our guests with love, but for treating us like family and making the journey feel so easy.

We love you guys - and we'll be recommending you to EVERYONE we know!

—Gwen and Matt W.

I was beyond pleased with the food, the staff, and the service provided for my wedding. Janet was an exceptional day-of coordinator, and I couldn’t have asked for a better person to help bring everything together. I would also like to thank Kat for her support and assistance on the big day. The food was absolutely amazing, and my guests are still raving about it. Thank you Hoopla, for making our wedding day unforgettable.

Since working at the University of Michigan, our events team has never had the opportunity to plan an event for our Baltimore area donors, so we did a lot of searching to find just the right caterer for our event. Luckily, we found Hoopla! Catering on Instagram, and we thought they would be a great fit. I appreciated how flexible they were in booking and then helping us coordinate a site visit since the event was in a unique venue that required additional work on their part.

Turns out, they were more than a great fit, but they exceeded our expectations! The attention to detail with menu selections gave our guests so many opportunities to enjoy a variety of Baltimore specialities. Not only was the food delicious, but with the strolling dinner layout, the catering team was thoughtful in giving our guests the experience of seeing how each food item came together in front of their eyes.

The feedback we got from our guests, staff and even the University President was, "Everything I tried was absolutely delicious".

It feels good to have such a solid caterer in a new area and I know I cannot wait for the opportunity to work with this group again!

—Erin D.

Hoopla was the perfect caterer for our employee March Madness themed party! Dori, Kat and their team understood my vision of "stadium food but boujee" and brought it to life - from the fun linens to the popcorn, soft pretzel, nacho and hot dog displays - it was perfect. We received nothing but compliments on the food and service! I was able to enjoy the event knowing everything was being taken care of. Thank you!
