Capstone Occasions 
Rating: 5.0 (14 reviews)
Rockford, IL
  • Offers 6 services
  • Starts at $2,600

Hi! I'm Tia - Mom of 5 kids, 2 dogs and wife to the most supportive and amazing husband there is. In fact, you will often times find him carrying boxes, straightening linens, or even officiating from time to time. I started Capstone Occasions (aka-my crowning achievement) to help elevate your events to the top of your expectations. It could be a simple intimate affair to the grandest of parties, but whatever you are envisioning, it is my plan to execute it with every bit of intention and emotion that you have for it yourself.

Awarded Best of Zola
Capstone occassions made our wedding day absolute magic. I started the planning process on my own but got stuck and unmotivated because i felt overwhelmed/not entirely sure what was next. Tia jumped in and helped me get excited about the process again and accomplish the tasks in order of importance and made sure it was a day that both Mike (my now husband) and I envisioned and wanted to make it special for us. Because of her experience she has so many friends in the business. I appreciated she recommended vendors based on who the two of us are and what we were looking for and within our budget (and ways to save). She thinks about EVERYTHING! Things we never would have considered on our own. My favorite being the sunset photos of me and my husband. He doesn’t like pictures but he loved how they turned out. Not only that, she makes sure it’s a seamless process and day that’s stress free. My mom was so grateful to be able to let loose and relax and could not say enough about how instrumental Tia and her team were to make the day so beautiful and coordinating with all the vendors so we didn’t have to. Day before the wedding, I was honestly a mess and left our name tags at my office and a few other prints including labels and a mock up picture of what we were thinking. So, we had to last minute hand write the name tags and in a rush left unorganized and unlabeled bins for them to sort out. My brain was all over the place and it didn’t occur to me until too late but when we walked in, it was even better than I imagined. They really went the extra mile and made everything picture perfect. Our friends and family were so impressed and we’re still getting compliments to this day. Thank you Tia and the Capstone Occassions team! You are fun to work with, easy to get along with (even some of our craziest family members), hardworking, magician ninjas (for all the stuff you do behind the scenes we will never even know about- thank you). We are forever grateful for the best and happiest day of our lives!

Johnna with Save the Date Weddings and Events was an amazing wedding planner who helped make our special day run smoothly. She has a kind, efficient, and thoughtful communication style, and her years of experience were evident in how thoroughly and expertly she planned everything. Even when our photographer arrived an hour late, Johnna handled it perfectly by tweaking the timeline - she truly has a plan for everything! Guests kept raving about how well organized all the events were thanks to her. Johnna isn't just focused on the logistics either; she genuinely cares about the couple and making sure your wedding vision comes to life. She goes above and beyond with thoughtful touches, right down to having an emergency kit on hand. She even had a little heart shaped straw for me to drink water with and not ruin my makeup! Johnna truly thinks of everything. The way she decorated and set everything up was the most beautiful and perfect setup I have ever seen! I truly couldn’t have dreamed of my wedding looking more beautiful or fairytale esque. I'd highly recommend Johnna for her professional yet caring approach to wedding planning.

Hiring Bailee was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding at Pazzo’s in Chicago. From the moment she arrived that morning, she brought such calm, positive energy that instantly made me feel at ease. She stepped right in and took complete control of the day in the most effortless way, making sure every single detail came together perfectly. Bailee managed all of our vendors with such professionalism and grace. When a few unexpected hiccups happened throughout the day, she handled each one so quickly and quietly that I didn’t even know there were any issues until after the wedding was over. She communicated with everyone clearly, kept us on schedule, and problem-solved with such calm confidence that it felt like everything just flowed naturally. She made sure our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception transitions were seamless and not once did I feel rushed or stressed. She also went above and beyond in the little ways that made such a difference. She checked in on me constantly, helped bustle my dress, fluffed my veil before walking down the aisle, made sure our décor looked exactly how I envisioned it, and even gathered all of our personal items at the end of the night so we didn’t have to worry about a thing. She truly treated our wedding as if it were her own. Because of Bailee, we were able to be completely present and enjoy every single moment of our day. I didn’t have to worry about timelines, vendor arrivals, or any of the behind-the-scenes chaos that comes with a wedding. I just got to soak in every second, knowing she had everything under control. If you’re getting married in Chicago (or anywhere, honestly), do yourself the biggest favor and hire Bailee. She’s organized, kind, calm under pressure, and has such an incredible eye for detail. Our wedding day was a dream come true, and she played a huge part in making that happen. We’ll be forever grateful for her!

Haylie and her team are absolutely incredible to work with. I very quickly got overwhelmed with wedding planning and needed some extra help. Haylie was patient with me as we had several consult calls before we officially booked. She immediately felt like a friend and someone I could trust. I am a type A person and felt nervous to not have total control over the wedding planning process or day. Haylie followed up on every detail, question, and thought. She never let any email or message go unanswered and was attentive to every detail. I felt very secure with her. She allowed me to relax and focus on the fun parts of wedding planning and she handled vendor coordination, logistics, and other things I never even thought of. She was always available and flexible during the planning process. The day of the wedding, everything was so smooth and there were no issues or hiccups.

Grace from SEG was such a pleasure to work with! Crazy to think we only met her twice in person. She was super helpful in communicating with vendors, sending over final floor plans and guest lists, and ensuring our vendors had everything they needed, as well as ensuring our actual wedding day went smoothly. We had absolutely zero snafus and loved how the venue was set up when we got there. She kept the night on track, always asked us what she could get us if she saw us empty-handed, herded the cats (aka our families), and ensured all our personal items got back to us.

I cannot recommend Sarah enough! While I initially thought I just needed someone for the “day of,” I quickly realized how much goes into wedding coordination in the weeks and months leading up to the big day—and Sarah was there every step of the way. She went so far above and beyond what I ever expected, and I truly don’t know how I would have gotten through the wedding planning process, or the actual day, without her. From the moment we started working together, Sarah brought a sense of calm, professionalism, and thoughtfulness to everything. She is kind, incredibly organized, detail-oriented, and somehow manages to be both relaxed and hard-working at the same time. Every detail was thought through, every vendor was communicated with, and every little hiccup was handled before I even had time to worry about it. On my wedding day, I was able to be fully present and soak it all in, because I knew Sarah had everything under control. If you’re on the fence about whether you need a day-of coordinator, don’t overthink it—hire Sarah. She is a true gem, and you’ll be so glad to have her in your corner.

Kimberly was fantastic for our wedding this past fall. I had several conversations with various Wedding Coordinators and Companies but Kimberly stood out right away. From our first phone call, she asked such specific questions and walked me through the process and gave suggestions on how to keep everything organized. Kimberly was super professional, reliable, attentive and when above and beyond the weeks leading up and the day of our wedding. We did a downtown Chicago wedding and my husband is Assyrian, so between the level of detail and cultural elements, there was a lot that I entrusted Kimberly to help me with.. from the wedding timeline, to seating chart last minute changes, to coordinating with the hotel events manager, the photographers, leading the other vendors and table set requests, Kimberly was there to lead it all and ensure everything looked absolutely stunning for our wedding. 10/10 recommend Kimberly for any wedding or special event.

Alex and Katie at Redwood were incredible for day-of-coordination. They made planning less stressful by answering our questions, providing useful resources, and giving great feedback on timeline. On the day-of, Katie managed set up/clean up, kept us on track, and gave us a general sense of peace. I’m usually a little Type A, but as a bride I felt I could fully chill and enjoy the day with Katie there - we were in good hands.

I am a certified wedding planner with a passion for learning. It all started over 10 years ago when I worked as a birthday party host at a park district, eventually expanding to fundraising events, showers, and weddings. My passion for weddings and events grew, and I began helping friends and family with their weddings. Now, I run my own business! There is nothing I love more than seeing an idea come to life! When I'm not planning weddings, you'll find me cuddling with my baby, enjoying the show Friends under a cozy blanket, or sharing a meal with a glass (or two) of wine with my husband. I'd love to chat and learn more about you!

From the start, the team at Yes to I Do was quick to respond to all of our questions and requests. They were incredibly organized and detail-oriented, ensuring that every aspect of our ceremony and reception was carefully planned out. Rebecca in particular went above and beyond, helping us coordinate with all our vendors months in advance and providing helpful templates and suggestions to keep us organized. On the day of and during the rehearsal, the Yes to I Do team thought of every little detail, directing each person on how the ceremony would flow and regularly checking on my husband and I to make sure we had everything we needed - they even kept our goblets full!

Working with Erin Avery (The VenList) was more than a dream - she is a dream maker, fantasy creator, and one of the most organized people we’ve ever worked with. There honestly aren't words that capture the depth of our appreciation for her work. She took us through the whole journey as our virtual planner, guided us through the panic moments, saw the potential in our vision, and as our Day-Of Coordinator ensured we have the most magical wedding we could have ever dreamed up. She respected our budget, never wanted us to compromise on our vision, found vendors who could bring that vision to life, and made us feel like family the entire experience. Erin brings a profound attention to detail, care for us as a couple, calming spirit, and gentle smile to every person she interacts with. She wants you to have your day go smoothly, as stress free as possible, and makes sure that everything is organized, found, and done correctly. We couldn't have asked for a better person to walk us forward into married life, keeping track of every nuance, contacting every vendor, and protecting our time as we approached the biggest and happiest day of our lives. Erin is truly the best and a master at her craft. If you’re considering working with her, that very first meeting you will feel the beautiful energy and excitement she shares for what matters most to you - and she’ll make sure that your day is one you’ll never forget.

We worked with Kara from Camellia Co. Events for our wedding, and she was honestly amazing. We hired her as our “month-of” coordinator. Leading up to the wedding, she was super easy to communicate with and always quick to respond. She was so patient and helpful every single time, and I always felt like she genuinely cared and wanted to help however she could. She also worked with our budget and was very reasonable and flexible, which we really appreciated. On the wedding day, Kara was calm, organized, and made sure everything ran smoothly. We didn’t have to stress about anything, which made such a huge difference—we were actually able to relax and truly enjoy the day. Multiple people commented afterward on how calm I was and how beautiful the wedding was (and that I was not a bridezilla at all ). I truly believe that peace came from God—He gave both me and my husband such a sense of calm that day. And honestly, Kara felt like such a Godsend in that process. Knowing she had everything handled behind the scenes made it so easy to just be present and soak it all in. Hiring Kara was easily one of the best decisions we made. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for the best wedding coordinator around!

Working with As you wish Wedding Coordinator made our planning process so much easier from start to finish.

On the day of our wedding, she handled so many behind-the-scenes details like picking up our flowers and desserts, and she coordinated with our venue so we didn't have to stress about logistics.
