“Connor was our day of coordinator for our wedding and made things run very smoothly! I prepped her with my wedding binder and she took it from there making sure all vendors who arrived were coordinated and directed. She would come up and ask questions if needed but kept them very minimal as she understands your day is already busy and you have made so many decisions to get there. We very last minute decided to do shots before the ceremony and she made the run to the bar to get them for the wedding party before we walked down the aisle. She worked effortlessly with our other vendors such as photographer and videographer as well as kept in communication with me to see if there was anything I needed. If looking for an event coordinator or planner - I’d 1000x recommend her!”

House of Elleon is a luxury white-glove wedding and event planning & design studio founded by Noelle Cappuzzo, specializing in refined, editorial celebrations with an emotional core. Each event is a carefully curated experience where the client’s vision is executed with precision, elevated through thoughtful design, and brought to life with seamless flow. With a focus on enhancing the overall experience—not just the aesthetic—Noelle blends creative direction with logistical mastery so every moment feels effortless, intentional, and distinctly personal. Events are expertly produced, emotionally resonant, and elevated from start to finish.

“I genuinely do not even know where to begin when it comes to Noelle because there are not enough words to explain how incredible she is. From the VERY beginning of my wedding planning process over a year ago, she handled absolutely everything and more. Any thought, question, idea, concern, crash out, or micromanaging moment I had (and trust me… there were MANY), I could text or call her at literally any time, and she was always there. Not once did she ever make me feel annoying, dramatic, or “too much.” Instead, she made me feel heard, understood, supported, and excited every single step of the way. What makes Noelle so special is that she doesn’t just “plan weddings.” She genuinely takes your vision and transforms it into something bigger and more beautiful than you could have even imagined for yourself. The ideas I had in my head for my wedding somehow came to life TIMES TEN. Every tiny detail was perfected. She thought of things before I even had to ask. She guided me through every decision while still making me feel like the wedding truly reflected me and my husband. And the professionalism? Insane. The organization? Insane. The patience? Saint level. She worked with my budget and constantly gave me options to still achieve the luxury, elegant look I wanted without making me feel pressured to spend beyond my means. She found almost all of my vendors, and every single one of them was phenomenal. The amount of compliments I still receive from guests weeks and months later about how beautiful, organized, and seamless my wedding was honestly speaks for itself. But what REALLY blew me away was wedding day itself. When I tell you I did not have a single worry in the world, I mean it. Noelle and her team handled EVERYTHING. She was genuinely a rockstar from beginning to end. At one point she literally did my late night McDonald’s run herself while her assistants stayed behind making sure me, my bridal party, and my family had everything we needed. Who does that?! That level of care is so rare. She treated my wedding like it was just as important to her as it was to me. Not only did she become my wedding planner, but over this past year she truly became someone so special to me and my family. My family and friends could not stop complimenting her professionalism, kindness, work ethic, and calming presence. I literally had my mom’s friends texting me asking for her information because they were so blown away by her. Noelle made wedding planning FUN. She made it exciting instead of stressful. Honestly, she makes me want to plan another wedding tomorrow just to work with her again. I’m truly going to miss our hours-long meetings spent perfecting every little detail because it all paid off in the most unbelievable way. I can confidently say my wedding would NOT have been what it was without her. She gave me the wedding of my dreams and more, and I will forever be grateful that I trusted her to guide me through one of the biggest moments of my life. I truly believe one day I’ll see her planning celebrity weddings because her talent is genuinely on that level. Thank you for everything, Noelle. I would choose you over and over and over again.”

Hi! I’m Steph, owner and lead wedding planner of SC Signature Celebrations, and your personal stress reliever. I’m a former educator turned wedding planner. I love balancing my creative spirit with my logistical expertise to make peoples’ dream days come true. After 8 years of event planning, I decided to focus on weddings because I’m passionate about creating lifelong memories. I’m here to collaborate with you on creating your dream wedding day!

Awarded Best of Zola
“From the moment we started planning almost two years before our wedding, Steph completely understood our vision. She never tried to steer us toward what a wedding "should" look like—instead, she encouraged us to create a day that felt authentic to us, even when our choices were a little unconventional. Having someone who genuinely supported what *we* wanted made the entire planning process so much less stressful. She also somehow managed to talk me through every single one of my little wedding planning menty b's. Whether I was spiraling over tiny details or showing up with what felt like completely unhinged ideas or last-minute thoughts, she never made me feel like I was being ridiculous. She listened, reassured me, and somehow always found a way to make me feel calm and confident again. Having someone who could balance professionalism with that level of kindness and patience made all the difference. The greatest gift Steph gave us was our wedding day. I can honestly say I have no idea if anything went wrong, because if it did, we never knew about it. My husband and I were able to be fully present with each other and soak in every moment. We never left each other's side, and at one point we even snuck away during the reception for a little nap because we were feeling overstimulated. Instead of worrying about timelines, logistics, or putting out fires, we got to experience the day exactly as we had hoped: together. It wasn't until days and even weeks after the wedding that we learned some guests had opinions about a few of our non-traditional choices, like not taking formal photos with every single guest or taking time for ourselves during the reception. The fact that we didn't know any of that in the moment is a testament to Steph. She protected our peace and made sure we stayed in our own little magical bubble all day long. Looking back, that's what stands out the most. Our wedding wasn't perfect because everything went exactly according to plan—it was perfect because we got to be completely present with each other, free from stress and outside expectations. That is an incredible gift, and one we'll always be grateful for. Steph is so much more than an amazing wedding planner. After nearly two years of planning together, she's become a friend, and I can't imagine having gone through this journey with anyone else. If you're looking for someone who will truly listen, advocate for your vision, calm your anxieties, embrace your wild ideas, and make sure you actually get to enjoy your wedding day, Steph is the person you want by your side.”
