Capstone Occasions 
Rating: 5.0 (15 reviews)
  • Offers 6 services
  • Starts at $2,600
  • Serves DeKalb, IL

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!”

“The Save the Date team went above and beyond to make our wedding the most amazing day. We communicated with Johnna leading up to the day and then Kat was with us for the rehearsal and day of. I can't say enough amazing things about them. When my flower girl got hurt at the rehearsal, Kat was there to keep us calm. The day of - we dropped off our 3 cars full of stuff and she took the few inspiration photos we had sent her and turned both venues into something beyond what we ever could have imagined. We got behind schedule with hair and makeup but Kat kept calm and continually reassured us that everything would be perfect . And is was. She did all the work and we truly got to enjoy our day.

“We couldn't have made a better choice in using Heirloom Event Company to help us plan our wedding. Our planning timeline was only about 5 months, My husband and I lived in different countries and had to deal with the added stress of immigration visas on top of wedding planning. We wanted a planner who would understand our needs and someone we could trust to listen to our vision for the day and make it happen. Haylie was so easy to work with, always on top of deadlines and keeping us on track in the all stages of planning. She listened to our ideas and dreams and found vendors that suited and fit within budget. She found us an amazing coffee cart vendor after i said coffee would be awesome to have. We dreamed of it being a fairytale/ hobbiton vibes in the music, she found us a music duo who hit the brief perfectly. She helped us surprise each other the morning of and throughout the day. She communicated with vendors, understood the fine print in the contracts and would let us know what our responsibility was. She was so supportive throughout the whole planning stage, any questions we had she answered and even after the wedding, answering questions that only come up after the event has happened. Haylie was intentional, thoughtful and she helped us be at ease leading up to the wedding and day of. With family travelling from outside of the country, she made a simple document we could give to them to have all the info needed so they didn't ask us the day of. Haylie went above and beyond to make our wedding day our dream day and we cant thank her enough.”

“From the very first meeting, Valerie from The Simply Elegant Group completely won us over. She met with us in person and spent nearly two full hours diving into every detail of our (okay, mostly my) wedding vision. Right away, it was clear she wasn’t just a planner—she was a listener, a guide, and someone who genuinely cared about making our day unforgettable. What set Valerie apart throughout the planning process was her consistency and calm professionalism. She stayed in regular contact with us—monthly check-ins at first, then weekly as the big day approached, and even daily in that final stretch. She always kept me on track without making things feel overwhelming. She helped with everything from designing signs to crafting our timeline and managing vendor communication. But most of all, she brought this incredible sense of calm that I didn’t know I needed so badly. I’ve seen other planners who are high-energy or frantic, and while they mean well, that kind of energy would have stressed me out. Valerie, on the other hand, had this "I got it" energy that was both reassuring and grounding. No drama, no stress—just total confidence and grace. And then there’s Gabi, her day-of assistant—who was equally amazing. Together, they made sure the day flowed seamlessly. I didn’t have to worry about a single thing. From the ceremony to the reception, every detail was handled with care and professionalism. And I swear—when it looked like it might rain, Valerie must have worked some kind of magic, because we ended up with a stunning 72-degree October day with sunshine. I mean, who else can literally chase the rain away?! Thanks to Valerie (and Gabi!), our wedding day didn’t just meet expectations—it exceeded them. It was everything we dreamed of and more. We are so grateful for their support, calm presence, and true expertise. If you're looking for a planner who brings peace, organization, and genuine care to the biggest day of your life—look no further. Thank you, Valerie, for making our wedding absolutely perfect. We couldn’t be happier!”

We are a Chicago-based wedding planning and coordination company serving couples throughout Chicago and the Chicagoland area. Our services include wedding coordination (day-of management) and partial planning, designed to support you at every stage of your wedding planning journey. 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”

“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. I would hire her again in a heartbeat and cannot recommend her highly enough to any couple planning a wedding. Thank you, Sarah!”

“There truly aren’t enough words to describe how incredible Alina was. Hiring her was hands down one of the best decisions we made throughout our entire wedding planning process. She didn’t just coordinate our wedding she became the calm, creative, and reassuring presence behind every beautiful moment of our day. She has an eye for detail that is honestly unmatched. She noticed things no one else would have thought of, like adding the sweetest little lace bows to the metal accents around our yard, transforming the space into something even more magical. Every corner of our wedding felt intentional because of her. And when disaster struck and our wedding cake was accidentally smashed on one side, she didn’t panic. She immediately got to work, artfully decorating it with fresh flowers until you would have never known anything had happened. It was absolutely beautiful. That’s who she is someone who doesn’t see problems, she sees solutions. She anticipated our needs before we even realized them ourselves. She kept everything running smoothly, handled every behind-the-scenes detail with grace, and allowed us to be completely present on the best day of our lives. I never once felt stressed because I knew she had everything under control. What makes her even more special is that her care for her couples doesn’t end when the wedding does. She’s even helping us plan our honeymoon because that’s just the kind of person she is she genuinely cares and pours her heart into everything she does. I can say with complete confidence that there is absolutely no way our wedding would have been what it was without her. She didn’t just execute our vision she elevated it in every possible way. If you’re looking for someone who treats your wedding as if it were her own, who goes above and beyond in every sense of the phrase, and who will make you feel completely cared for from start to finish, look no further. She is worth every single penny and then some. We are forever grateful for everything she did to make our wedding the most beautiful, seamless, and unforgettable day of our lives.”

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 DeKalb, 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!

“Working alongside Yes to I Do was such an incredible experience! As the photographer for the day, I was so impressed with how organized, communicative, and genuinely kind their team was from start to finish. They kept everything running smoothly while creating such a relaxed, joyful atmosphere for everyone involved. It truly felt like we were all on the same page, working together to give the couple the best day ever. Can’t wait to work with this amazing team again! It was truly a dream collaboration!”

I am so beyond grateful we trusted Laury with this because to say she delivered is an understatement. She ensured the entire day ran smoothly and that every detail was executed as we intended. Even the tiniest of issues that arose she was able to fix to exactly what we wanted. I couldn’t be happier with her and our choice to hire her! She is such a kind and talented human and she knows the wedding industry so well. Do yourself a favor and HIRE HER! I promise you won’t regret it.”

I'm Jenna, the heart behind Perfectly Paired Planner, where every love story is celebrated with creativity, care, and a little bit of magic. I pour my heart into every wedding, thoughtfully weaving together each detail to create a day that feels effortless, meaningful, and uniquely yours. From the first spark of inspiration to the final farewell, I'm dedicated to ensuring your celebration is filled with joy, beauty, and unforgettable moments while you simply soak it all in.

“Jenna and the Perfectly Paired Planner team changed how we experienced my brother and sister-in-laws wedding day. Our families usually handle everything ourselves, which leaves us burnt out and unable to be present for the moments that matter. Jenna understood this about us and made sure we could step back, trust that the details were covered, and actually enjoy ourselves. As someone who struggles to let go of control, I found it freeing to hand things over to her capable hands. She and her team went far beyond what we expected, taking care of every need with genuine care and attention. Our family was able to be present at the wedding, and that gift is something we'll never forget.”
