I have been working in the event and wedding planning industry since I graduated college in 2003. I spent years working for and in partnership with Hopple Popple, Inc.

This year, Hopple Popple owner Linda Matzkin decided to retire.

Our clients always comment about how the time we spent planning was as fun as the wedding itself, and that they miss seeing us week after week once its all over. They also consistently say that their wedding exceeded every expectation they had, that there was magic in the air, and that they wish they could do it all over again!
