Capstone Occasions 
Rating: 5.0 (15 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.

“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 is the woman you want on your team, bar none. I thought I was an organized, type-A bride, Johnna is on a whole another level of keeping things organized, having things where they need to go on the day of, seeing out my vision, and dealing with family/friends/vendors. She's calm, cool, and collected on the day, gets it all done, and still somehow makes small-talk with you to keep you calm!

“We booked Bailee almost a year before our wedding and I’m really glad we did. Our experience with her was positive from start to finish. Over the year we had a lot of planning sessions where we went through everything that needed to happen and when it was due, so nothing would sneak up on us at the end. We had to reschedule a few times (on both sides, life happens) and she was always easy to work with about it. She also stayed patient and upbeat when we went back and forth on decisions, which happened more than I’d like to admit. On the wedding day she was everywhere at once. She and her team handled whatever came up, kept things on schedule, and stayed with us all the way through cleanup at the end of the night. We got to actually enjoy our day instead of worrying about the details, and that was exactly what we were hoping for. If you’re looking for a wedding planner in the WI/IL area, I’d recommend Bailee without hesitation. She’s detail oriented, positive, and clearly cares about making the day go well. We couldn’t have done it without her. 5/5 stars”

We bridge the gap between full-service wedding planning and day-of coordination by offering custom packages that align with your vision and budget.

“First off, let’s start with the fact that Hagir is the kind of person that makes you feel seen. Within the first few mins of our consultation with her (and we had several before her), we knew she was the right person to help get us across the finish line with our planning. She asked the best questions, she was excited about us and for us, and was so warm! Honestly, we didn’t expect more than what the other coordinators said they do, but Hagir was genuinely invested in us, in our wedding day and in making sure our families and friends felt comfortable. We had several virtual calls with her over a 9-month period, she checked in on us by email and by text and overall wanted to make sure we were on track and feeling good. Her demeanor is calm and confident, always smiling, and if there was a fire burning in our venue, I never would have known. We are so grateful for all that Hagir and her team did before, during and even after the wedding day. She created this incredibly sweet photo album of photos and videos that happened throughout the day, capturing moments that I don’t even think the photographers got, and sent it to us the very next day! She also gave us great vendor recommendations and we could not be more happy to have had her help execute our beautiful wedding. Thank you SO much! Sara and Michael”

“Jennifer and her team were involved with our pre-wedding planning and handled coordination day-of, and I’m so glad we chose her for our special day. Jennifer was responsive, attentive, and wonderful to work with overall. We had over 170 guests with a large number of vendors, and just 8 months to plan everything. I’ll be honest, this event would not have been possible without her. She helped keep planning organized and on time, lead the charge on creating the timeline and coordinating scheduling with all the vendors, and was always there to answer questions, give recommendations, and handle last minute changes as they arose. On the day of the wedding, she and her team did a wonderful job setting up, coordinating with the venue/vendors, taking care of us and our guests, and keeping the event running smoothly and on time. One important note is her team stayed late to help with tear down, which is something they did not have to do but did anyway. We really appreciated that and it shows the dedication her and her team have for what they do. They were great to work with, highly competent, and I would highly recommend WBJF.”

“We found Sarah about a year and a half before our wedding, and hiring her was one of the best decisions we made. From our very first meeting through the wedding day, she was so much fun to work with and made the entire planning process feel easy and stress-free. Sarah is absolutely amazing at what she does and pays attention to every last detail. On top of that, she is probably one of the kindest and most thoughtful people you'll ever meet. Throughout the months leading up to the wedding, she kept us organized, made sure we stayed on track, and helped us think through things we never would have considered on our own. She made sure nothing fell through the cracks and that we never missed an important deadline. She was also incredibly helpful during our final venue walkthrough and at the rehearsal. Having her there gave us so much confidence that everything was ready to go. On the wedding day, Sarah and her team were absolutely incredible. Because of all of their hard work behind the scenes, we never had to worry about a thing. Everything ran smoothly, and we were able to be fully present, spend time with our family and friends, and truly enjoy every moment of our day. Without Sarah, I would have been stressed and overwhelmed. Instead, I got to relax and enjoy being a bride.

We had complete faith and confidence in her to get us to the finish line, which allowed us to do the one thing every couple hopes to do on their wedding day - be fully present and soak in every little moment. We hired Kim as our day-of coordinator, and let me tell you, she stepped in and made sure everything went off without a hitch. She was truly like the older sister everyone needs on their wedding day, keeping everyone in check, making sure we always had a drink in our hands, and handling anything and everything behind the scenes so seamlessly that we never even knew if something went wrong.

Hi, I’m Ashlynn - Founder, Lead Planner, and Designer of Eventure Co. Events, and I’m so glad you’re here!

Ashlynn went above and beyond in so many ways, including: Proactive Coordination: She personally followed up with every single vendor. Attention to Detail: Made sure vendors were meeting the needs of signed contracts. Expert Planning: She crafted a detailed, thoughtful timeline that kept us on track. Seamless Execution: She ensured the entire day ran smoothly from start to finish. Personal Support: She was the ultimate "hype lady!" She checked in on me multiple times as the big day approached—something I truly needed as a stressed-out, Type-B bride. Wedding planning involves so many tiny details that are easy to overlook, but Ashlynn made sure nothing fell through the cracks. If you’re planning a wedding and don’t have a coordinator yet, I highly recommend Ashlynn! Ashlynn: Austin & I are SO grateful for all your hard work to make our day so perfect!

“Hiring Alex for full service planning was the best decision we made when planning our wedding. We worked together for nearly two years and throughout that time, she was organized, detail-oriented, and helped us curate a rehearsal, welcome party, and wedding that our guests still rave about. She made us feel comfortable throwing around our crazy ideas from day one and helped us tailor them into a vision. On our wedding day, Alex made sure that we didn’t have to worry about a thing and truly made us feel like we were the guests of honor. It was amazing knowing we had someone we trusted 100% to advocate for us throughout the planning process & on our wedding day. Alex helped bring our vision to life even better than we could have imagined. We can confidently say that the weekend would not have been so perfect without her overseeing it all.

Hi! I'm Jordyne, and there's nothing I wouldn't do for you on your wedding day. I'm here to help you throughout wedding planning and support you on the biggest day of your life. From coordination to full wedding planning and design, I have different levels of support for all brides. Let's talk and find out which one works best for you!

“My wedding was June 11th and Jordyne being our Day of Coordinator was truly a huge part of why I can look back on the day with all the joy everyone hopes to experience. She maintained excellent communication in the months leading up to the big day via text and calls when I was stressed and spiraling. She asked insightful questions about aspects that I hadn’t even considered, so we had a clear idea of how the wedding day would unfold. Although we live about an hour away from West Bend, we picked our venue specifically for the beautiful outdoor cermony area. When it became clear that there would be thunderstorms and a high chance of tornadoes the day before and on the wedding day itself, she stepped up to transform the less than ideal (leaking) basement into what became a truly beautiful space. She used our leftover florals and battery powered candles to design new aisle decor since the original couldn’t be used indoors while also helping me not have a panic attack. She also suggested something that let us still spend some time outside, which ended up being the most special part of the day and gave us wonderful photos of our first look. From making sure we ate, to helping me to dance the Cupid Shuffle in my big dress after the bustle broke, She Was A Lifesaver. Jordyne and her lovely assisant were one of the best choices I made during the wedding planning process and I highly recommend her to anyone who feels overwhelmed, in over their head or just needs an excellent hype girl/wonderful person in their corner.”

“Working with Spruced Up Designs was an absolute must for our wedding day. From our first conversation, Leela was prompt, detailed, and incredibly organized in her communication. Her attention to every aspect of the wedding planning process was evident in the high-quality, personalized service they provided. When I didn't have menus ready, they quickly stepped in, designed, ordered, and picked them up - all before I even knew there was an issue. Leela and Brenda's kindness, efficiency, and eye for detail made them invaluable partners in creating our dream wedding day. I don't know what I would have done without them by my side, and I highly recommend Spruced Up Designs to any couple planning their special day. Also the handmade arbor was such a great touch to our ceremony!”

“We absolutely loved working with Myah and Paul at With Love LLC!! Their day-of coordination made every detail flow so smoothly and took all the stress off our shoulders to enjoy our day and celebrate with our loved ones. They set up our venue, taking on our place settings, favors, and other details to transform the space into a beautiful magical room.

Yes to I Do

  • Serves Rockford, IL

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! We were truly able to relax and enjoy our special day thanks to their attentive and considerate service. We highly recommend Yes to I Do for any couple planning their wedding in the Chicago area.”

“I cannot say enough incredible things about Erin. Above and beyond does not begin to cover it! Look no further for any of your wedding planning needs. We hired Erin for our month of coordinator almost 2 years in advance. From the beginning, she was very responsive, informative, kind, and helpful. I am pretty organized, and she consistently thought of questions I didn't! I was very impressed with her demeanor with myself and the rest of our vendors. Our venue required a pre-approved coordinator, and Erin took the steps to contact them to make sure she would work out, and we are so glad she did! She did everything she said she would and then some. She reached out to all of our vendors, worked with us on our timeline (many times!), attended our rehearsal, and never got frustrated even when we had a lot going on. Erin felt more like a friend than a coordinator, and we are so happy we got to spend our special day with her. Our day went so smoothly from start to finish, and we know this is due to Erin's impeccable attention to detail. If you are looking to have an incredible day with a crisp timeline and no stress - Erin is your gal!”
