My husband and I are local to Baltimore so when we started to plan our wedding, Hoopla was the only choice for food. 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. As a newly Gluten Free bride, the team customized ALL the deserts and made a special Gluten Free salad for my dinner. Our guests rave about our wedding food months after our October wedding.

We decided to do a buffet, which I was nervous about, but the staff served our guests to keep our lines moving, allowed for everyone to be fed quickly, and second portions were given to those in need.

During our tasting the chefs were on hand in the Private Dining room to hear feedback and offer adjustments in real time (gluten free). Dori took away all the stress I gave myself on seating plans, table set up, and linens. Just wow from start to finish, I cannot imagine a better partner to make our wedding perfect and seamless.

The food at our wedding was exceptional! The presentation and the taste was out of this world! All of our guests are still talking about how delicious the food was. The service at the bar was excellent. We had Espresso Martinis as our specialty cocktail, and they were amazing! All of the staff were professional and attentive. I cannot thank Hoopla enough for making our wedding day so easy and perfect!

Hoopla killed it with our event! We had a mix of stationed, passed food, a full bar, and desserts. Dori did a great helping to plan our event, and the day of the staff was wonderful. Our event felt seamless and successful and the food was delicious!

One of the main goals for our daughter’s Bat Mitzvah was to create an environment and experience that our family and friends would remember for a long time. The exceptional food, drinks and service that Hoopla provided exceeded all expectations. Many of our guests said that it was one of the, if not the best Mitzvahs that they were ever at. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to host a first class event.

Hoopla Catering was the backbone of my daughter's recent Bat Mitzvah. Dori and the team absolutely crushed the entire event. From start to finish the process was incredible but the food was off the charts!! As a single mom I was totally overwhelmed by the process of throwing an event at this scale. I never for one moment felt alone or incapable of delivering a night to remember and that is all to the credit of Hoopla and the team. Thank you to everyone for making our Mitzvah a smashing success and I would recommend this team over and over again!

As event planners in the area, we've worked with many different catering companies and are always thrilled when we have the chance to work with Hoopla! From the pre-planning and preparations to the event day itself, we're always left impressed and our clients are as well! Not only is the quality of food consistently delicious, but Hoopla pushes the boundaries of creativity and for that we are extremely thankful. Thanks to Dori, Kat, and the rest of the Hoopla family for being so incredible!

When I began planning the grand opening party for my second shop I knew that Hoopla had to do the catering. From the beginning Dori made it fun and easy. We decided on passed savories and desserts throughout the night along with my favorite fall margarita. The food was incredible, and exceeded my expectations. Fortunately a host plate was made for me otherwise I never would have been able to enjoy everything. I cannot remember an event that I have been to recently that had food as fresh, well presented, and flavorful as what Hoopla provided. Every bite of food was eaten and enjoyed and so many people asked me about the catering. The Hoopla team was extraordinary and I am already thinking of the next time I can work with them.

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!

—Matt & Hannah L


We wanted to reach out and say that we cannot thank you and your team enough for making our day even more special. Kat and the catering staff made the event go seamlessly and we appreciate all of their help. 

The food was incredible - every single person has told us multiple times how good it was, some even coming over in the middle of dinner. They have all thanked us for choosing you for our caterer, so we want to make sure to pass those along to you. 

Truly, thank you. 

—Cashin & Forrest 


Everything was incredible!!! It was a perfect day/night. Your staff did an amazing job. I can't say enough good things about the staff. From set up to clean up and everything in between, they seriously crushed it!  Everyone was raving about the food. Even people who aren't foodies said it was the best food they've ever had. Someone told us that having the 4th bartender made a huge difference! No one had to wait in line for drinks.

Thank you so much for everything you and your staff did to make it the perfect wedding. 

—Chelsea & Chris


Thank you SO much for your amazing service and food at our wedding this weekend!  The food was beyond delicious and the service you provided was impeccable!! We received so many compliments about the food, I heard “best wedding food I’ve ever had” multiple times.  We have many friends with high food standards, and they loved all of it. 

We appreciate your flexibility in the rain, especially to have cocktail tables out for our guests and to do a quick and seamless room flip with the whole crowd in the room. 

It was the wedding of our dreams, and it couldn’t have been done without you!! 

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!  

—Jen & Drew K.


Everything was INCREDIBLE! The number of times we heard “this is the best wedding food I’ve ever had” from so many of our guests was really amazing and exactly what we were going for! The lobster nuggets were a HUGE hit - never making it to the other side of our cocktail hour because everyone swarmed the tray every time they were brought out! Dori was so helpful during the planning process and on the day of, Kat and the team were absolutely wonderful! It felt like options were limitless for what we could provide to ours guests so we really got to offer them the full experience of what we would typically get when going out for date night to The Food Market! 100000% would use Hoopla! again in the future for any parties/events we have!

Everything was amazing!

The food was the talk of the wedding. All of our guests and other vendors said it was the best wedding food they have ever had! My only regret is not getting seconds of every app and it killed me to not be able to finish my plate :( The dessert table looked so beautiful! I cannot wait to see our photos of all of these little details. Also, the service staff was phenomenal! They were super attentive and professional.

Thanks again for all of your help during the process! Down to every detail, it was exactly what we had hoped for.  

—Amanda & Francisco


It truly couldn’t have been better. Every single aspect of the service was incredible. The tables themselves were beautifully set, the staff was ever-present, and everything tasted next level. I can’t even begin to count the amount of people who not only said the food was amazing, but the best food they have ever had at a wedding. It was more like large scale fine dining than a 140 person wedding. I trusted you all so much during this process and every single step of the way you exceeded expectations. I am so grateful for you and your team, you were the star of the event, directly behind Mark and me!

After attending a party where Hoopla catered, we knew we wanted to use them for a dinner party at our home. We are so happy that we did! The entire Hoopla team was wonderful! Dori helped plan every step of the way and the 'day of' crew was amazing. The food was delicious and the staff were professional, friendly and fantastic to work with.
We received so many compliments and inquiries about the caterer. I am sure that Hoopla will hear from our guests for catering their future events.
We can confidently recommend Hoopla Catering and will absolutely use them again.
