Hi! I'm Tia - Mom of 5 kids, 2 dogs and wife to the most supportive and amazing husband there is.

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Capstone Occasions. From our first point of contact to the final moments of our wedding day, Tia went above and beyond to make both wedding planning and our wedding day unforgettable. Her attention to detail, creativity, and organizational skills are exceptional. As an out-of-state couple to the team, we were initially concerned about planning a wedding from afar, but Tia made the process easy! Tia provided us with unlimited opportunities to check in as needed throughout the planning process, making us feel supported every step of the way. She is incredibly communicative and made it a priority to ensure that every aspect of our wedding aligned with our personal vision. It was so clear that Tia and her team are highly experienced and knowledgable. Her guidance throughout the planning process gave us the confidence that everything would turn out as intended. On our wedding day, everything ran seamlessly, allowing not just us but all of our guests to fully enjoy the moment without worrying about a single thing. Many of our guests commented on how beautifully everything came together, and we owe it all to Tia and her team. If you are looking for someone who genuinely cares about making your day perfect, we wholeheartedly recommend Capstone Occasions to any couple.

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.

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.

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.

If I could give any couple one piece of advice for their wedding it would be to book with Redwood. Alex is so good at her job it's remarkable, it's actually impossible to enumerate everything she did for us. Alex (and Hannah!) did day-of-coordination for us and having her input and advice the months leading up to our wedding was AMAZING. Any issue we had, Alex was there to talk us through it and give guidance. We would only have to describe something to her once and she would "just get it" and be able to execute flawlessly. Every decision she made day-of (because there will ALWAYS be some small decisions that have to be made) was better executed than if we had thought about how to do it ourselves. One of our only regret in working with Alex was that we didn't just have her do full-planning for us. Cannot recommend Redwood's enough, you'll be in the most experienced and safest hands possible.

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.

Congratulations! How exciting that you are starting a new chapter! I’m Jordyne—not just your planner, coordinator, or designer but also your wedding advocate. From full-service planning to day-of coordination, I guide couples through every step with organization, creativity, and care. I handle vendor communication, timelines, and logistics so nothing is overlooked. My goal is simple: bring your vision to life while you stay fully present and enjoy every moment!

During my bridal era I opted out of having a bridal party. Usually Bridal parties help the bride and groom the day of, with small tasks. Even after hiring a coordinator I quickly realized that I would need personal help the day, of as I knew my family would be too focused on enjoying themselves. That’s when I found Jordyne on the wisconsin brides Facebook page. I didn’t need to interview her, she advertised her services professionally on her facebook page and that’s all I needed to know. I hired Jordyne to be my bridal assistant the day of but she was so much more. She wore so many hats and worked very well with the wedding vendor team. Even if you think you can do it all, like me. Get the bridal assistant / coordinator, because truth is you can’t. I was very Type A & things did arise that needed attention that day. But Jordyne handled it all, that I didn’t even feel an ounce of stress. She was there to run to the Airbnb and back to the chapel for my bouquet when I forgot it, 5 minutes before the ceremony. She packed up all my belongings from the airbnb and transported it to my car after the ceremony. She cleaned up the broken glasses when the champagne tower fell apart. She was there to help clean up my dress when I got foundation on it from my tattoo cover up. She helped zip up my dress when the zipper got stuck and adjust my under skirt. She went ABOVE & BEYOND. She was there to provide full support and reassurance. Every bride needs reassurance . Jordyne’s services were worth every penny! I would recommend her to every bride. You won’t be disappointed.

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!

What can I even say! Laury was an absolute joy to work with and ensured the vision of our special day came to life! 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.

They say no one cares about your event like you do. We want to change that narrative. Lyndsay has always had a passion for events. From volunteering in event coordination in middle and high school, to attending Arizona State for Event Management, Lyndsay sees this as her calling. Nothing brings Lyndsay more joy than the look on someone’s face when their dreams are brought to life. Nate helps Lyndsay do her best work, with his outside of the box thinking, technical knowledge, and can do attitude. Together, they have all the elements of your super event planning team. Most importantly, we do care as much as you do.

Lyndsay and Nate were amazing throughout the entire planning process. They took all the ideas my fiancé and I had and created the most perfect day for us. Having them there the day of was absolutely worth it ; they handled all of the little details while we enjoyed the day! They had a package that was perfect for our budget and we didn’t have any surprise costs along the way. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone planning a wedding!

Hi, I'm Kara, the woman behind Camellia Co. With years of experience in wedding and event planning, I've learned that the most beautiful celebrations are the ones that truly feel like you. My passion is to work with my clients to create weddings and special celebrations that reflect your love, your style, and the story you share, while keeping the process stress-free and enjoyable.

Awarded Best of Zola
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!
